Conditions

Fragility Fracture

Brief summary

The integration of digital technologies into chronic disease rehabilitation has transformed people care, yet the specific impact of electronic health literacy on early functional outcomes in fragility fracture people remains underexplored. This study investigates the association between preoperative eHealth literacy and both preoperative and early postoperative functional outcomes in people with fragility fractures.

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Barthel IndexAt baseline, 3 days postoperatively, 7 days postoperatively and 30 days postoperatively data on Barthel Index.Barthel Index (BI) is widely used to quantify activities of daily living and is sensitive to short-term changes during hospitalization. A low BI at discharge limits the effectiveness of rehabilitation and is associated with poor prognosis. The lowest score on this scale is 0, and the highest score is 100.
EQ-5D-5LAt baseline, 3 days postoperatively, 7 days postoperatively and 30 days postoperatively data on EQ-5D-5L.EQ-5D is a health-related quality of life (HRQoL) questionnaire widely used in economic, clinical, and population health studies. The EQ-5D descriptive system comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. It has two versions, a three-level EQ-5D (EQ-5D-3L) and a five-level EQ-5D (EQ-5D-5L). Each dimension of the EQ-5D-3L consists of 3 levels: no difficulty at all, some difficulty, and extreme difficulty.
PNIAt baseline, 3 days postoperatively, 7 days postoperatively and 30 days postoperatively data on PNI.The PNI was derived using the formula: 10 × serum albumin (g/dL) + 0.005 × lymphocyte count (/mm3). Serum albumin \< 4.0 g/dL = 1 point, ≥4.0 g/dL = 0 points and LMR \< 4.44 = 1 point, ≥4.44 = 0 points. The total PNI varied from 0 to 4, higher values reflect a more favorable nutritional and inflammatory profile.
EQ-VASAt baseline, 3 days postoperatively, 7 days postoperatively and 30 days postoperatively data on EQ-VAS.Participants rated their current health on a 100-point EQ visual analog scale (EQ VAS), ranging from "worst imaginable health state" (0) to "best imaginable health state" (100).
