Objective. The study compared functional outcomes among post-operative geriatric fragility hip fracture patients who received complete and incomplete rehabilitation.

Methods. This is an ambispective cohort study of 50 acute fragility hip fractures over a 40-month period (October 2017 to November 2020) treated with either arthroplasty or internal fixation under the UP-PGH Orthogeriatric Fracture Liaison Service (FLS). Patients were contacted and interviewed through Telemedicine. They were asked to answer two questionnaires - the Modified Harris Hip Score (MHHS) and the EuroQol-5D-5L (EQ-5D-5L). The scores were tallied and used to describe and compare the post-operative functional outcomes between the two rehabilitation pathways.

Results. Among the 50 patients included in this study, twenty-three (46%) patients underwent complete rehabilitation, while 27 (54%) underwent incomplete rehabilitation. The average corrected MHHS was at 82.5 suggesting good outcomes among all patients, with a higher-than-average outcome of 83.6 among patients who underwent complete rehabilitation, and an outcome of 75.9 among patients who underwent incomplete rehabilitation. Results to the EQ-5D--5L survey showed that a majority of patients who underwent complete rehabilitation reported having 'no problems' in terms of self-care, and anxiety or depression. However, the same group had more patients reporting 'any problems' in terms of mobility. On the other hand, a bigger proportion of patients from the incomplete rehabilitation group presented with 'any problems' in terms of usual activities. Proportions were similar for both groups in terms of pain or discomfort, with neither group having patients who reported extreme pain or discomfort.

Conclusion. In spite of the heterogenous nature of the hip fracture population, functional outcome measures show generally good outcomes of patients under the UP-PGH Orthogeriatric FLS, with no significant difference among patients who receive complete rehabilitation from those who undergo incomplete rehabilitation. Continuing this study may better describe and differentiate the functional outcomes in order to pave the way for evidence-based protocols dedicated to providing the highest quality of care for acute fragility fracture patients.

Rehabilitation has become a part of primary health care. Subject: Disabled children aged 0-15 years in Luong Son district, Hoa Binh province. Method: Cross-sectional description with analysis. The results showed that 64.3% of disabled children have needs of overall rehabilitation, with need of learning is predominant (52.7%). Rehabilitation needs are higher in disabled children than in adult. Needs of communication and learning are predominant in disabled children. The lower education the children have, the higher level of rehabilitation they need.
