Post-acute Care for Patients With Hip Fracture

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Background and purpose: Hip fracture, a common injury occurred in people aged over 50, may result in disability, poor quality of life, and higher care stress for their families. Aging population and growing number of hip fractures have increased medical expenses, so developed countries implemented post-acute care (PAC) to reduce acute hospitalization, and to improve the quality of care. PAC services can be delivered by hospital/facility-based and home-based services. Previous studies showed that both services could significantly improve patients' activities of daily living and quality of life, and reduce readmissions, long-term care and costs. Taiwan has implemented PAC plan for hip fractures since 2017, but relevant evidences are limited. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of PAC for patients with hip fractures.

Clinical Trial Description

Methods: This is a prospective cohort study which will recruit patients aged over 50 with hip fractures receiving surgical treatment in the Taipei City Hospital. They will be provided home-based PAC, hospital-based PAC, or no formal PAC based on the medical judgment and patients/families' willingness. The period of PAC will be two to three weeks after the acute hospitalization. Assessments include physical function (30 seconds sit to stand, Barthel index, and Harris Hip Score), numerical pain rating scale, EuroQol instrument (EQ-5D), Caregiver Strain Index, and using of medical resources. The assessments will be on the day before discharge from acute hospitalization, and on the discharge day from post-acute care. The follow-up assessment will be at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after operation. The cost-effectiveness ratio will be defined as the New Taiwan dollars paid for 1-unit improvement of functional performance and quality of life. ;
