Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome measure is the number of days of admittance in the hospital counted from the first day of the hip surgery until the day of discharge or the day that the patient for medical reasons could have been discharged but due to external factors, like *no help at home* or no rehabilitation space available, has to stay in the hospital (the so called *wrong bed patient*). The day of discharge is determined by the functional performance of the patient and the ability to perform (almost) independency for daily activities. | — |
