 The EMAH study found that hip fractures have a significant negative impact on patients' health-related quality of life, HRQL. Factors such as depression and anxiety, prefracture limitations in activities of daily living, and lack of referral to a rehabilitation facility were associated with lower scores on the EQ5D index. Polypharmacy, living in a facility, and migration background were also identified as possible modifying factors. Additionally, structured and timely rehabilitation seemed to be a protective factor.
