The 30-day survival and recovery after hip fracture by timing of mobilization and dementia

Early mobilization is associated with survival and recovery for patients (with and without dementia) after hip fracture. Early mobilization should be incorporated as a measured indicator of quality. Reasons for failure to mobilize early should also be recorded to inform quality improvement initiatives. Cite this article: <i>Bone Joint J</i> 2021;103-B(7):1317-1324.
