A case-control study was performed to evaluate factors associated with successful rehabilitation in elderly patients who sustained hip fractures. All 170 patients with fractured hips hospitalized in the geriatrics ward of the Soroka Medical Center in Beer-Sheva, Israel between 1987 and 1991 were studied. Success of rehabilitation was determined by staff evaluation of the patient's ability to walk and perform activities of daily living. The independent variables, including sociodemographic and medical variables, and mental and functional assessments, were assessed by chart reviews, staff evaluation and mental tests. One-hundred and twenty-nine patients (75.9%) were successfully rehabilitated. A normal mental state (p < 0.0001), female gender (p < 0.02) and absence of diabetes mellitus (p < 0.008) were associated significantly with successful rehabilitation.

Unlabelled: Cardiovascular diseases, in addition to being a health problem for Chile, ranking as the second leading cause of death, also impose a significant economic burden on the country. Aiming to reduce these diseases' health and economic impact, we decided to structure a Cardiometabolic Integrated Practice Unit (UPI) at the FUSAT Clinical Hospital. Unlike the current organization of healthcare systems in Chile, a UPI is structured throughout the entire cycle of care (from promotion and prevention to rehabilitation), with a multidisciplinary team (both clinical and administrative) organized around closely related medical conditions or a set of health conditions.
