Objective:

To quantify 1-year survival and days spent at home among hip fracture survivors living with dementia compared to those without dementia.

Approach:

Key Findings:

• 41.4% 1-year mortality rate among hip fracture survivors with dementia.
• Survivors with dementia spent 53.9 fewer days at home compared to those without dementia.
• Nearly 60% of hip fracture survivors with dementia survived at least 1 year, spending a mean of 263.8 days at home.
• Factors such as socioeconomic status, rurality, and payer source were more strongly associated with days at home than clinical factors.

Interpretation:

Remove the entire section.

Limitations:

• Clinical decision-making may be influenced by low expectations for recovery in dementia patients.
• Health systems and payers have been slow to support comprehensive home-based dementia care.

Conclusion:

Remove the entire section.
