Objectives

Narrative objectives1

To develop an occupational therapy program to conduct ADL practice and group interaction in the morning to prevent (1) sleep-wake rhythm disorder, (2) physical and mental inactivity, and (3) limitation of social interaction, which are likely to occur in elderly patients after femur fracture surgery, and to verify the feasibility of its usefulness.

Results

A randomized controlled feasibility study of occupational therapy to establish a morning routine (OT-EMR) was conducted. The recruitment rate was 51.0%. The incidence of delirium was 45.5% in the OT-EMR group, with a median duration of 1.5 days, compared with 56.5% and 3.0 days in the control group. Mean QOL score on days 7 was 0.570 and 0.475 respectively. All the effect sizes were small. OT-EMR was feasible but showed only small effects on delirium incidence and QOL.

Baseline Characteristics

Consecutive patients aged 80 years or older who had undergone hip fracture surgery and were eligible to participate in group therapy were assigned. Twenty-two in the OT-EMR group and 23 in the control group were analyzed. The mean age of all the 45 patients was 89.2 years (SD=5.1), and most participants were female (n=39, 86.7%). The mean MMSE-J score was 15.8 (SD=7.8). No significant differences in the measured characteristics were observed between the OT-EMR and control groups.

Participant flow

A total of 118 patients underwent surgery for acute hip fracture between December 1, 2023 and March 22, 2024; 96 were over 80 years of age and 49 were included in the study (51.0% inclusion rate).Reasons for exclusion included the presence of trauma or fracture other than hip fracture, and diseases or disabilities that would interfere with participation in group therapy. After assignment, three patients from the OT-EMR group and one from the control group dropped out, leaving 22 and 23 patients for analysis, respectively.

Adverse events

None

Outcome measures

The incidence and duration of delirium measured by the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM).
QOL measured by the Euro Qol 5 Dimensions 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaire.
