Is There an Association between Norton Scale and Cognitive Impairment in Hip Fractured Elderly Patients?
CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that there is an association between Norton Scale Scores and cognitive impairment. Norton score parameters, under certain circumstances, such as speech and other communication difficulties, can be used as a proxy measure for MMSE to indicate cognitive impairment. These findings can be even more helpful in the present time of "COVID-19," when we have to evaluate older patients with facial masks and other defensive suits.PMID:34915501 | DOI:10.1159/000520852
