The objective was to evaluate the survival and some aspects of the quality of life of @entity1 with trochanteric @entity173 after long-term follow-up in comparison with the age- and sex-matched controls without @entity174 . Two hundred consecutive @entity1 (mean age at @entity174 77 y) with @entity173 were compared with the age- and sex-matched controls representing an average population from the same area. After a mean 7 y follow-up period a questionnaire concerning their place of residence, ambulation, causes leading to impairment, need for locomotor aids and management of activities in daily living (ADL) functions was sent to the surviving @entity1 and controls. Mortality increased gradually being 4.5 percent above the control level one month after the @entity174 , 6.0 percent above at three months, 3.5 percent above at one year, 4.5 percent above at two years, 6.5 percent above at five years and 9.0 percent above at six years. Thirty (48%) of the surviving 62 @entity1 and 83 (90%) of the 92 surviving controls were living in their own homes and 2 (3%) and 4 (4%) in service apartments respectively. Seventeen (27%) of @entity1 alive were institutionalized in a chronic care hospital unit and 13 (21%) in an old @entity1 's home as compared with 2 (2%) and 3 (3%) of the controls respectively. Twenty-two (35%) of the @entity1 and 73 (79%) of the controls were able to move about independently. The @entity1 were significantly worse at ADL-management, required more home help and had fewer social contacts and outdoor hobbies than the controls. In conclusion surgically-treated @entity173 markedly increase mortality rate, reduce independence and impair walking ability and ADL-functions, and thus seriously affect the health-related quality of life of the @entity1 . This fact should be considered in the planning of the healthcare of elderly @entity1 .
