Citation Ghazipura M. Community versus inpatient rehabilitation in hip fracture patients: a rapid review. Toronto: Health Quality Ontario (HQO). Rapid Review. 2013 Authors' objectives This rapid review aims to determine the effectiveness of inpatient versus community-based rehabilitation among hip fracture patients.
Authors' conclusions On the basis of one SR evaluating the effectiveness of inpatient rehabilitation in comparison with community-based rehabilitation among hip fracture patients, the following conclusions were reached:
High-quality evidence shows the total FIM improved among patients receiving community-based rehabilitation versus inpatient rehabilitation;
Low-quality evidence indicates the total MBI is not significantly different among patients receiving community-based rehabilitation than among those receiving inpatient rehabilitation;
Moderate-quality evidence indicates patients receiving community-based multidisciplinary rehabilitation have longer stays in rehabilitation (hospital + home) than those receiving inpatient rehabilitation.
The results primarily reflect cognitively intact and medically stable adults older than 65 with high prefracture mobility and independence and might not represent the effectiveness of community versus inpatient rehabilitation among less mobile and more dependent adults.
