The influence of socioeconomic position on patient-reported outcome measures following hip fractures – a register-based observational study on 35,206 patients from the Norwegian hip fracture register 2014–2018
Lower education and income were significantly associated with worse HRQoL and satisfaction after hip fracture. The clinical relevance of these findings warrants further investigation. Addressing SEP disparities should be integral to hip-fracture care strategies aiming to improve postoperative outcomes.
