Questo studio è stato identificato come potenzialmente ad alto impatto.
La metrica High Impact di OE, guidata dall'AI, stima l'influenza che un articolo potrebbe avere integrando i segnali della rivista in cui è stato pubblicato e il contenuto scientifico dell'articolo stesso.
Sviluppato utilizzando un'elaborazione del linguaggio naturale all'avanguardia, il modello High Impact di OE prevede in modo più accurato la futura performance citazionale di uno studio rispetto al solo fattore di impatto della rivista.
Ciò consente di riconoscere prima le ricerche clinicamente significative e aiuta i lettori a concentrarsi sugli articoli che hanno maggiori probabilità di influenzare la pratica futura.

Mohammad A. Auais (International Centre for Health Innovation, Western University) discusses the effect of extended exercise rehabilitation after hip fracture.
This meta-analysis included 13 randomized controlled trails (1107 fractures) that assessed the effects of an extended exercise rehabilitation program on the physical functioning of patients with hip fractures. The results of the meta-analysis and systematic review indicate that an extended exercise rehabilitation program improves knee extension strength, balance, physical performance based tests, the Timed "Up and Go" test, and fast gait speed when compared with a standard rehabilitation program for patients with hip fractures.

L'Indice di Fragilità è uno strumento che aiuta l'interpretazione dei risultati significativi, fornendo una misura della forza di un risultato. L'Indice di Fragilità rappresenta il numero di eventi consecutivi che devono essere aggiunti a un risultato dicotomico per rendere il risultato non più significativo. Un numero piccolo rappresenta un risultato più debole, mentre un numero grande rappresenta un risultato più forte.
Perché questo studio era necessario ora?
Hip fractures are the most serious form of osteoporotic fracture. When these fractures are sustained, the goals of treatment include returning patients to a pre-event functional level and preventing recurrent fractures. Unfortunately, only 50% of survivors regain their former levels of mobility. Interest in the effects of an extended rehabilitation period has increased due to the fact that functional status of patients seem to decline after rehabilitation services are stopped. However, the long-term effects of this program are unclear, as findings have been conflicting. This study aimed to determine whether an extended exercise rehabilitation program offered improvement over the regular rehabilitation program with regard to the physical functioning of patients who have undergone surgical repair of a hip fracture.
Qual era la domanda di ricerca principale?
Does an extended rehabilitation program improve the physical function of patients who have undergone surgical repair of a hip fracture when compared to usual care?
- Extended rehabilitation programs significantly improved knee muscle strength on the affected (ES=0.47, 95% CI=0.27 to 0.66, p<0.001) and nonaffected side (ES=0.45, 95% CI=0.16 to 0.74, p=0.002), balance (ES=0.32, 95% CI=0.15 to 0.49, p<0.001), physical performance-based tests (ES=0.53, 95% CI=0.27 to 0.78, p<0.001), timed "Up and Go" test (ES=0.83, 95% CI=0.28 to 1.4, p=0.003), and fast gait speed (ES=0.42, 95% CI=0.11 to 0.73, p=0.008) when compared to standard rehabilitation programs.
- Results from the 6 Minute Walk Test (ES=0.22, 95% CI=0.12 to 0.57, p=0.21), normal gait speed (ES=0.16, 95% CI=0.17 to 0.48, p=0.35), activities of daily living (ES=0.14, 95% CI=0.07 to 0.35, p=0.2), instrumental activities of daily living (ES=0.2, 95% CI=0.07 to 0.48, p=0.14), and the physical function subscale of the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (ES=0.2, 95% CI=0.03 to 0.44, p=0.09) were not significantly different between the patients that completed extended rehabilitation programs and the patients that completed standard rehabilitation programs.
Che cosa devo ricordare di più?
The data suggests that extended rehabilitation programs result in significantly greater improvement than standard rehabilitation programs with respect to knee muscle strength on the affected and nonaffected side, balance, physical performance-based tests, timed "Up and Go" test, and fast gait speed among patients who required surgical intervention for a fracture of the hip.
Come influenzerà l'assistenza ai miei pazienti?
Extended rehabilitation programs may improve physical functioning of the hip when compared to standard rehabilitation programs for hip fractures. However, in order to reach a definite conclusion regarding extended rehabilitation programs, randomized controlled trials with larger sample sizes are required, as well as cost analyses.
