[Conceptual framework and historical perspective of intermediate care].

The aging of the population is raising the need to make structural changes in the National Health System. First, the need to increase geriatric services in all hospitals. Second, implement and integrate intermediate care (IC), and Third and last, guarantee medical care in long-term care.

Demographic, functional and clinical characteristics in hip fracture patients according to mental status of the Spanish National Hip Fracture Registry.

Objective: To describe the differences according to mental status at admission on the care process and 30-day outcomes in hip fracture patients, mainly regarding the use of rehabilitation resources and anti-osteoporotic medication, by analysing data from the Spanish National Hip Fracture Registry (RNFC, "Registro Nacional de Fracturas de Cadera" in Spanish).

Methods: We analysed prospectively collected data from a cohort of patients admitted participating in the Spanish National Hip Fracture Registry (RNFC) in 76 Spanish hospitals between 2017 and 2019. We classified participants using Short Portable Mental Status Questionnaire (SPMSQ), defining two groups: patients with ≤2 SPMSQ score and patients with >2 SPMSQ score.

[Functional recovery units state in orthogeriatrics according to data from the National Registry of Hip Fracture].

Introduction: The National Registry of Hip Fractures (RNFC) facilitates knowledge of hip fracture process in Spain to clinicians and managers and is useful to the reduction of the results variability, including the destination at discharge after the hip fracture.

Objective: The aim of this study was to describe functional recovery units (URFs) use for patients with hip fracture included in the RNFC and to compare the results of the different autonomous communities (AC).

Material And Methods: An observational, prospective and multicenter study of several hospitals in Spain.

[Multidisciplinary geriatric rehabilitation in the patient with hip fracture and dementia].

Hip fracture and dementia rates increase with age, and both groups of patients suffer increased morbidity and mortality and functional impairment. The management of these patients is a challenge for the orthogeriatric and rehabilitation team process, as despite the evidence on the benefit, the results analysed are still worse than in patients without cognitive impairment. For this reason, and due to the limitation in health resources, many of them have problems in accessibility to them, or are limited to a less intense rehabilitation.
