Assessing SPPB and gait speed at 2 months after a hip fracture in addition to information from medical records and self-report significantly improves prediction of 12-month mobility. This finding has important implications in providing tailored clinical care to patients at a greater risk of being functionally dependent who would not otherwise be identified using regularly measured clinical markers.
