| アブストラクト | PURPOSE: The characteristics of elderly hip fracture patients in acute care hospitals were analyzed based on hospitalization and discharge route and the presence or absence of a dementia diagnosis. METHODS: The study was conducted as a cross-sectional exploratory study using data from the Diagnosis Procedure Combination database in Japan from April 2014 to March 2016. Patients aged 65 years or older who had surgery for a hip fracture were identified. We subsequently extracted patients whose home, medical institution (including convalescent rehabilitation wards), or elderly care facility was both the admission and discharge route. A total of 105 122 patients were included. RESULTS: 19% of patients were diagnosed with dementia. Patients with dementia had a shorter length of acute care hospital stay than those without dementia. The hospitalization route for dementia patients was 51% at home and 40% at a care facility. Dementia patients were discharged to hospital and care facilities at 41% each. Nearly all patients received hospital-based postoperative rehabilitation regardless of dementia but patients with dementia had lower gains in activities of daily living. CONCLUSION: Hip fracture patients with dementia have less opportunity for continuous hospital-based rehabilitation and need an environment that allows for continuous elderly care facility-based and community-based rehabilitation.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONIn Japan, an aging society, one in five elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery was diagnosed with dementia.Many hip fracture patients with dementia have a shorter length of hospital stay and may have fewer opportunities to change hospitals to receive rehabilitation.It is necessary to establish an ongoing and proactive community- and elderly care facility-based rehabilitation system for patients with hip fracture with dementia after acute care hospital discharge. |
