| Abstract: | ![]()
In 338 patients with proximal femoral fractures, age, sex, residence and mobility on admission were found to predict mortality, mobility and housing requirements after 1 year. Application of these data should permit better targeting of rehabilitation and earlier initiation of rehousing arrangements after proximal femoral fracture. |
