Women's Physical Functioning scores fell below population norms, men's remained above the norms. Physical composite scores showed a decline with age, and the Mental Composite Scores increased with age. The number of co-morbidities had increased over three years, with 58% being admitted to hospital. Half reported unmet health needs, related primarily to non-hip problems. Only general practitioner services were used monthly or more, with satisfaction ratings remaining high for all services used. Participation in social activities was increased from prior to surgery for 42% of participants.Conclusions:Recovery after hip replacement surgery is dramatic, especially in alleviation of pain, but for older patients, there is a subsequent decline in general health concomittant with others in this demographic group. Differences in men's and women's patterns of recovery suggests differential planning to provide more realistic expectations for recovery and aftercare. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
