Characteristics of rehabilitation services in high-FIM efficiency hospitals after hip fracture.

Characteristics of rehabilitation services probably explain a large proportion of the variation in clinical outcomes following hip fracture. The aim of this study was to clarify rehabilitation characteristics of high-performance hospitals after hip fracture. This is a retrospective observational study using the Japan Rehabilitation Database for the period 2005-2015.

Rehabilitation Characteristics in High-Performance Hospitals after Acute Stroke.

Background: Rehabilitation characteristics in high-performance hospitals after acute stroke are not clarified. This retrospective observational study aimed to clarify the characteristics of high-performance hospitals in acute stroke rehabilitation.

Effectiveness of weekend physical rehabilitation for functional recovery in geriatric patients with hip fracture.

Aim: To test the hypothesis that the functional outcome of hip fracture patients who receive weekend rehabilitation is better than that of similar patients who undergo non-weekend rehabilitation.

Methods: The present retrospective observational study used data from the Japan Rehabilitation Database spanning 2005-2015. We identified in-hospital hip fracture patients admitted to acute hospitals.
