cture Key messages Our findings suggest that a general health-related quality of life tool such as EQ-5D has good measurement properties and could feasibly be used as an outcome measure for patients recovering from hip fracture Strengths and limitations This is a large study that reports strong and highly significant associations between hip specific function and general quality of life outcome measures in patients after hip fracture The main limitation is the fact that all of the data were collected in a single trauma centre; further research is required to see whether EQ-5D is feasible and generalisable for other UK centres.
