Abstract
© 2018, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature. Introduction: To investigate the validity of Barthel Index (BI) compared with de Morton Mobility Index (DEMMI), EuroQol-visual analog scale (EQ-VAS), 2-min walk test (2MWT), and timed get-up-and-go test (TUG), and to evaluate the responsiveness of all outcome measures for assessing functional recovery in older patients who underwent hemiarthroplasty after femoral neck fracture. Material and method: Eighty-one femoral neck fracture patients who were enrolled in a study evaluating functional recovery after bisphosphonate therapy during 2013 to 2015, and who had data available at both baseline and 12 months after surgery were included in this study. Results: All scores improved significantly from baseline to the 1-year follow-up. BI had moderate to strong correlation with DEMMI, 2MWT, and TUG (r-value: 0.490–0.843), and mild to moderate correlation with EQ-VAS (r-value: 0.278–0.323). All outcome measurements had high effect estimates. The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of BI at 12 months was 9.8 points. Conclusion: Since BI was shown to have good validity (moderate to strong correlation with DEMMI and performance-based tests, and mild to moderate correlation with EQ-VAS), BI can be used to accurately assess functional recovery in patients who undergo hemiarthroplasty after femoral neck fracture.
