Multicenter StudyPrediction of postoperative ambulatory status 1 year after hip fracture surgery.
Hirose J, Ide J, Yakushiji T, Abe Y, Nishida K, Maeda S, Anraku Y, Usuku K, Mizuta H. Prediction of postoperative ambulatory status 1 year after hip fracture surgery. ⋯ In candidates for hip fracture surgery, the E-PASS scores exhibited a good correlation with the patients' functional and survival prognoses, and the algorithm including E-PASS scores and dementia status can accurately estimate the ambulatory status at discharge and 1 year after surgery.

Multicenter StudyPrognosis of limitations in activities in osteoarthritis of the hip or knee: a 3-year cohort study.
van Dijk GM, Veenhof C, Spreeuwenberg P, Coene N, Burger BJ, van Schaardenburg D, van den Ende CH, Lankhorst GJ, Dekker J, on behalf of the CARPA Study Group. Prognosis of limitations in activities in osteoarthritis of the hip or knee: a 3-year cohort study. ⋯ Overall, at the group level, limitations in activities of patients with OA of the hip or knee recruited from hospitals and rehabilitation centers seem fairly stable during the first 3 years of follow-up. However, at the level of individual patients, considerable variation occurs. Prognostic factors for worsening of limitations in activities include increased pain, reduced ROM, and decreased muscle strength at 1-year follow-up; higher morbidity count; and to a lesser extent poor cognitive functioning.
