Recovery Trajectories of Motor Function After Hip Fracture Surgery in Older Patients: A Multicenter Growth Mixture Modeling Study in Acute Care Hospitals.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objective: Hip fractures in older adults are a major public health concern due to their high rates of morbidity, mortality, and long-term disability. Although surgical and postoperative care have improved, recovery outcomes remain highly variable. Identifying early functional recovery patterns could support individualized rehabilitation and discharge planning. This study aimed to identify distinct early recovery trajectories of motor function within 30 days after hip fracture surgery using growth mixture modeling (GMM) and to examine patient- and hospital-level factors associated with these patterns. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from the Nagano Hip Fracture Database, including 2423 patients aged ≥65 years across 17 acute care hospi
