Enhanced rehabilitation and care models for adults with dementia following hip fracture surgery

Abstract

This article presents a review which aims to assess the effectiveness of models of care including enhanced rehabilitation strategies designed specifically for people with dementia following hip fracture surgery compared with usual care and to assess the effectiveness for people with dementia of models of care including enhanced rehabilitation strategies that are designed for all older people, regardless of cognitive status, following hip fracture surgery compared with usual care. This review found that the current evidence is insufficient to determine the best care for people with dementia after hip fracture. There was limited research available on this topic, with no care models designed specifically for people with dementia. For almost all outcomes, results were inconclusive because the studies were too small and of low quality.
