Care Pathway for Sub-acute Hip Rehabilitation

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The effectiveness of integrated care pathways for hip fractures in sub-acute rehabilitation settings is not known. The study objective was to assess if a hip fracture integrated care pathway at a sub-acute rehabilitation facility would result in better functional outcomes, shorter length of stay and fewer institutionalisations. A randomised controlled trial on an integrated care pathway was conducted for hip fracture patients in a sub-acute rehabilitation setting. The study supports the use of integrated care pathways in sub-acute rehabilitation settings to reduce length of stay whilst achieving the same functional gains.

Clinical Trial Description

All patients admitted to St Luke's Hospital, a 185-bed hospital in Singapore providing multidisciplinary stepdown care, from 8 September 2004 to 14 June 2006 for the purpose of rehabilitation after a new hip fracture were included. Patients were excluded if any of the following criteria were present: (i) Pre-morbid non-ambulatory status, (ii) nursing home residents, (iii) palliative care patients, and (iv) patients previously enlisted for the trial. Administrative staff allocated patients to either ICP or usual care according to the last digit of their National Registration Identity Card (NRIC) numbers, odd numbers to the intervention group and even numbers to the control group. Patients were then admitted to 1 of 2 intervention wards or 1 of 3 control wards. Patients were enrolled by the principal investigators only after moving into their respective wards because of work flow limitations. Those who refused consent or were excluded remained in their assigned wards and received usual care. Both intervention and control groups were under the care of multidisciplinary teams but the intervention group had structured assessments and checklists in addition to usual care while the control group had usual care alone. ;
