Developing a Novel Analytical Toolbox to Tackle Multifaceted Statistical Challenges in Analyzing Post-Fracture Recovery Trajectories in Older Adults with ADRD

Project Summary/Abstract Older adults diagnosed with ADRD are up to three Ɵmes more likely than cogniƟvely intact older adults to sustain a hip fracture, and paƟents with ADRD have poorer funcƟonal outcomes, greater disability and dependency, and spend more than 50 fewer days at home in the year aŌer fracture. However, this growing populaƟon is highly heterogeneous with some paƟents experiencing very slow to very fast recovery, which precludes proacƟve risk straƟficaƟon, hinders shared decision making, and thwarts opƟmal transiƟonal care support. Given the significant costs and consequences of hip fractures among older adults, improving recovery trajectories for those with ADRD is a crucial…
