The worldwide increase in @entity173 is a major challenge to the health care system and society. The proper treatment of @entity2249 in the elderly is still controversial, and even more so from an international perspective. Optimising the treatment for improved outcomes and a reduced need for secondary surgery is mandatory for humanitarian and economical reasons. The importance of incorporating the @entity1 's perspective of the outcome in clinical trials has been acknowledged and there are now numerous instruments for assessing the quality of life. We evaluated two quality of life instruments, the EQ-5D and the SF-36, in @entity1 with @entity2249 and also measured the quality of life two years after different interventions. The EQ-5D was validated in two prospective studies and it appeared to be an appropriate quality of life instrument in elderly @entity1 with @entity2249 . There was a good correlation between the quality of life (EQ-5Dindexscores) and other outcome measures such as @entity158 , mobility and independence in activities of daily living (ADL). The results also showed high responsiveness, i.e., ability to capture clinically important changes, for both the EQ-5D and the SF-36. The questionnaire response rate for both instruments was high. The rated prefracture EQ-5Dindexscores showed good correspondence with the scores of an age-matched Swedish reference population. The quality of life in @entity1 with @entity2249 treated with internal fixation (IF) decreased, particularly in @entity1 with @entity174 healing complications. The @entity174 healing complications rate at two years in @entity1 with displaced @entity2249 treated with IF was 36% compared with 7% in @entity1 with undisplaced @entity174 . The quality of life of @entity1 with uneventfully healed @entity174 at two year was lower in @entity1 with primary displaced @entity174 than in @entity1 with primary undisplaced @entity174 . In a prospective randomised trial, @entity1 with displaced @entity2249 were randomised to IF or total hip replacement (THR). IF resulted in more complications than THR, 36% versus 4%, and necessitated more reoperations, 42% versus 4%. Hip function and quality of life (EQ-5D) were generally better in the THR group. In summary, THR yielded a better outcome than IF for an elderly, relatively healthy, lucid @entity1 with a displaced @entity2249 . In a study of elderly @entity1 with @entity2249 , nearly half of the @entity1 displayed signs of @entity7493 . Underweight was associated with @entity121 , @entity73 and a low quality of life (Nottingham Health Profile). In a prospective randomised trial, protein-rich liquid supplementation in combination with an anabolic steroid given for 6 months to lean elderly @entity1 after a @entity2249 was shown to positively affect lean body mass, ADL and quality of life (EQ-5D). @entity174 healing complications had a negative impact on body weight, lean body mass and quality of life.
