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.
