[Risk factors related to functionality and quality of life in people over 65 years of age with hip fracture.].

Objective: Hip fracture (HF) in the elderly carries high mortality and decreases functionality and quality of life after one year. The aim of this paper was to identify risk factors that influenced functionality (Barthel) and quality of life (EQ-5D) of the elderly with osteoporotic HF.

[Influence of early hip fracture surgery in the elderly on mortality, readmissions, dependence and quality of life.].

Objective: In spite of technical advances, hip fracture causes high mortality in the elderly. We wanted to know early surgery influence to mortality during admission, one year and after five years, as well as readmissions at one month and one year. We also wanted to know how dependence and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) evolved in the twelve months of follow-up and what factors were associated with poor patient evolution.
