Abstract

Delirium is common, persistent, and independently associated with poor functional recovery 1 month after hip fracture even after adjusting for prefracture frailty. Further research is necessary to identify the mechanisms by which delirium contributes to poor functional recovery, and to determine whether interventions designed to prevent or reduce delirium can improve recovery after hip fracture.
