Methods: Multicentric descriptive longitudinal study conducted in three traumatology units, representing high-technology public hospitals across Spain. Data collection took place between August 2018 and December 2019 upon admission to hospital, discharge, one month and three months after discharge. Results: Study participants (n = 174) were mainly women (81.6%), and the mean age was 90.7\u00b1 6.3 years old. Significant statistical differences were noted in the decline of functional capacity at baseline and one month later, and after three months they had still not recovered. Malnutrition increased from baseline to the one-month follow-up. The use of physical restraints increased during hospitalization, especially bilateral bedrails and a belt in the chair\/bed. After one month, 15.2% of patients had pressure ulcers. Although pain decreased, it was still present after three months. Conclusion: Hospitalization after hip surgery for elderly people with dementia or cognitive impairment negatively impacted their global health outcomes such as malnutrition and the development of pressure ulcers, falls, functional impairment and the use of physical restraints and pain management challenges. Hospitals should implement policy-makers\u2019 strategic dementia care plans to improve their outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph19052799","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,28]],"date-time":"2022-02-28T20:09:57Z","timestamp":1646078997000},"page":"2799","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Profile of Patients with Dementia or Cognitive Impairment Hospitalized with a Proximal Femur Fracture Requiring Surgery"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3183-5989","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Claudia","family":"Casafont","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Subdivision of Research and Teaching in Nursing, Hospital Cl\u00ednic Barcelona, 08036 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5969-2086","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mar\u00eda Josefa","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez-Garcia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Care Quality and Information Systems Unit, Hospital Universitario de Navarra, 31008 Pamplona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ana","family":"Mara\u00f1\u00f3n-Echeverr\u00eda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Traumatology Department, Hospital Universitario de Navarra, 31008 Pamplona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3695-9216","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Luis","family":"Cobo-S\u00e1nchez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research and Innovation Department, Hospital Universitario Marqu\u00e9s de Valdecilla, 39008 Santander, Spain"},{"name":"Escuela Universitaria Cl\u00ednica Momp\u00eda, Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de \u00c1vila, 39108 Momp\u00eda, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda","family":"Bravo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Hospital Universitario Marqu\u00e9s de Valdecilla, 39008 Pamplona, Spain"},{"name":"Institute for Research Marqu\u00e9s de Valdecilla, Universidad de Cantabria, 39011 Santander, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Merc\u00e8","family":"Piazuelo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Traumatology Department, Hospital Cl\u00ednic Barcelona, 08036 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1205-3997","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adelaida","family":"Zabalegui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Subdivision of Research and Teaching in Nursing, Hospital Cl\u00ednic Barcelona, 08036 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization (2017).
