- Roche JJ, Wenn RT, Sahota O, Moran CG.
- BMJ. 2005 Dec 10;331(7529):1374.

- J Am Geriatr Soc. 2005 Sep;53(9):1476-82.
-

- Woods NF, LaCroix AZ, Gray SL, Aragaki A, Cochrane BB, Brunner RL, Masaki K, Murray A, Newman AB; Women's Health Initiative.
- J Am Geriatr Soc. 2005 Aug;53(8):1321-30.

- Functional outcome and quality of life following hip fracture in elderly women: a prospective controlled study.
- Boonen S, Autier P, Barette M, Vanderschueren D, Lips P, Haentjens P.
- Osteoporos Int. 2004 Feb;15(2):87-94.
-
Rationale for inclusion: Women who sustain a hip fracture continue to suffer from substantial functional impairment and loss in QoL at 1 year, despite a significant recovery during this 12-month period. Function upon hospital discharge is the strongest predictor of functional status 1 year later.
