  Background: The question of whether patients with hip fracture can be discharged home or require hospital transfer for additional rehabilitation is critical. The same clinical pathway is not suitable for all patients. However, there are no clear indices for establishing the appropriate clinical pathway. To address this, we examined preinjury factors, including the Barthel index (BI), and performed logistic regression analysis to identify factors affecting the outcome (direct home discharge or hospital transfer) of patients with hip fracture.
