Dagnelie PC, Willems PC, Jørgensen NR. Nutritional status as independent prognostic factor of outcome and mortality until five years after hip fracture: a comprehensive prospective study. Osteoporos Int 2024; 35:1273-1287. [PMID: 38760504 PMCID: PMC11211177 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-024-07088-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/19/2024]
Abstract
We determined the prognostic value of nutritional status for outcome after hip fracture. Nutritional status was a strong independent prognostic factor for clinical outcome and 5-year mortality. Physical function showed incomplete recovery. Elderly care should focus on prevention already before hip fracture. PURPOSE To determine the prognostic value of nutritional status in hip fracture patients for multiple clinical and functional outcomes over 6 months, and for new fractures and survival over 5 years post-fracture. METHODS We included 152 well-characterized subjects (age 55+ years) with a hip fracture from a previously published randomized controlled trial. Nutritional status was appraised using the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA). Multivariable linear, logistic and Cox regression models were fitted, adjusted for age, sex, ASA score, group and additional prognostic covariates identified in backward regression models. RESULTS At baseline, impaired nutritional status was significantly associated with physical disability, depression, impaired cognition and lower quality of life. Prospective analyses showed that impaired baseline nutritional status was an independent prognostic factor for postoperative complications (OR 2.00, 95%CI 1.01-3.98, p = 0.047), discharge location from hospital (home vs. rehabilitation clinic, OR 0.41, 95%CI 0.18-0.98, p = 0.044), hospital readmission (OR 4.59, 95%CI 1.70-12.4, p = 0.003) and total length of hospital stay (HR of being discharged: 0.63, 96%CI 0.44-0.89, p = 0.008), as well as for 5-year mortality (HR 3.94, 95%CI 1.53-10.2, p = 0.005), but not for risk of new fractures (5y-HR 0.87, 95%CI 0.34-2.24, p = 0.769). Curves of physical disability over time showed that the three nutritional status categories followed almost parallel trajectories from baseline until 6 months after hip fracture, without complete recovery and even with further deterioration in malnourished subjects from 3 to 6 months post-fracture. CONCLUSION As baselline nutritional status is a strong independent prognostic factor for clinical outcome after hip fracture, affecting even five-year survival, elderly health care should focus on prevention and identification of at-risk individuals already before hip fracture.

Clin Nutr ESPEN 2024; 61:288-294. [PMID: 38777446 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnesp.2024.03.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2023] [Revised: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Hospital readmissions can have negative consequences for older adult patients, their relatives, the hospital, and society. Previous studies indicate that older adult patients who are at nutritional risk during hospital admission are at higher risk of readmission. There is a lack of studies investigating this relationship across different older adult patient groups while using recommended instruments and adjusting for relevant confounders. Thus, the aim of the present study was to investigate whether nutritional status according to the Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 during hospitalization predicted readmission among older adult patients within 30 and 180 days across a broad spectrum of wards and diagnoses when adjusting for age, sex, length-of-stay, diagnosis, and discharge destination. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present study is a retrospective cohort study based on registry data and included 21,807 older adult patients (≥65 years) hospitalized during a 5-year period. In order to investigate the relationship between nutritional risk and readmission, hierarchical logistic regression analyses with readmission within 30 days (n = 8371) and 180 days (n = 7981) as the dependent variable were performed. RESULTS Older adult patients at nutritional risk during the index admission were 1.44 times more likely to be readmitted within 30 days after discharge (P < 0.001), and 1.47 times more likely to be readmitted within 180 days after discharge (P < 0.001), compared to older adult patients who were not at nutritional risk during index admission when adjusting for age, sex, discharge destination, diagnosis group, and length-of-stay. CONCLUSIONS Our results highlight the importance of focusing on nutritional status in older adults as a factor in the prevention of readmissions, including ensuring that practices, resources, and guidelines support appropriate screening procedures. Because nutritional risk predicts readmission both in a 30-days and 180-days perspective, the results point to the importance of ensuring follow-up on the screening result, both in the hospital context and after discharge.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is a significant concern reported in adult critically ill patients, yet there is no gold standard to assess nutritional status in this population. This study examines the association between nutritional status and clinical outcomes in intensive care unit (ICU) patients using nutritional risk assessment tools and aims to look for the best tool. METHOD In a single-center prospective cohort study among 165 patients, the predictive performance of high or low malnutrition risk assessed by Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS), Modified Nutrition Risk in Critically Ill (m-NUTRIC), Mini-Nutritional-Assessment Short-Form (MNA-SF), Controlling Nutritional status (CONUT), and Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) were evaluated and compared for mortality, organ failure, length of hospitalization, and mechanical ventilation (MV). RESULTS Different assessment tools showed various nutritional statuses. m-NUTRIC and NRS-2002 were found to be associated more strongly relative to other tools with mortality (RR = 1.72; 95% CI, 1.42-2.08) and (RR = 1.37; 95% CI, 1.08-1.72), organ failure (RR = 1.69; 95% CI, 1.44-1.96) and (RR = 1.22; 95% CI, 0.99-1.48), MV (RR = 1.46; 95% CI, 1.27-1.65) and (RR = 1.21; 95% CI, 1.04-1.39) respectively. There was no correlation between malnutrition levels assessed by mentioned tools except for NRS-2002 and length of hospitalization. In predicting mortality or illness severity, the cut points were different for some tools like NUTRIC-score and all assessed outcomes (3.5), MNA-SF and mortality (6.5), CONUT with mortality, and MV (6.5). CONCLUSIONS A considerable proportion of patients admitted to the ICU are at high risk for malnutrition. Compared to other tools, m-NUTRIC and NRS-2002 proved superior in predicting clinical outcomes in critically ill patients. Other tools overestimated the risk of malnutrition in the ICU so couldn't predict clinical outcomes correctly.

Malnutrition-Related Health Outcomes in Older Adults with Hip Fractures: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Nutrients 2024; 16:1069. [PMID: 38613102 PMCID: PMC11013126 DOI: 10.3390/nu16071069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2024] [Revised: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Hip fracture is a common condition in older adults, leading to disability and mortality. Several studies have demonstrated the association between nutritional status and the risk of a negative health outcome after fractures. In this systematic review, we evaluated the association between malnutrition and mortality, changes in mobility/living arrangements, and postoperative complications, such as delirium, in older patients with hip fractures. A literature search on the PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases, up to September 2023, was conducted to identify all studies involving older subjects that reported an association between MNA/GNRI/PNI/CONUT and health outcome after hip fracture. Meta-analysis was performed by a random-effects model using risk values (RR, OR, and HR) extracted from the 14 eligible selected studies. Malnutrition significantly increased the risk of any analyzed adverse outcome by 70% at 1 month, and up to 250% at 1 year. Malnutrition significantly increased delirium risk by 275% (OR = 2.75; 95% CI 1.80-4.18; p ≤ 0.05), mortality risk by 342% (OR = 3.42; 95% CI 2.14-5.48; p ≤ 0.05), mortality hazard risk by 351% (HR = 3.51; 95% CI 1.63-7.55; p ≤ 0.05) at 1 month, and transfer-to-more-supported-living-arrangements risk by 218% (OR = 2.18; 95% CI 1.58-3.01; p ≤ 0.05), and declined mobility risk by 41% (OR = 1.41; 95% CI 1.14-1.75; p ≤ 0.05), mortality risk by 368% (OR = 3.68; 95% CI 3.00-4.52; p ≤ 0.05), and mortality hazard risk by 234% (HR = 2.34; 95% CI 1.91-2.87; p ≤ 0.05) at 1 year. Malnutrition of older patients increases the risk of death and worsens mobility and independence after hip fractures. The results of the present study highlight the importance of nutritional status evaluation of older subjects with hip fractures in order to prevent potential adverse outcomes (Registration No: CRD42023468751).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is significantly associated with unfavorable outcomes, but there is little high-level evidence to elucidate the association of malnutrition with losing walking independence (LWI) after hip fracture surgery. This study aimed to assess the association between preoperative nutritional status evaluated by the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score and walking independence at 180 days postoperatively in Chinese older hip fracture patients. METHODS This prospective cohort study included 1958 eligible cases from the SSIOS database. The restricted cubic spline was used to assess the dose-effect relationship between the CONUT score and the recovery of walking independence. Propensity score matching was performed to balance potential preoperative confounders, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied to assess the association between malnutrition and LWI with perioperative factors for further adjustment. Furthermore, inverse probability treatment weighting and sensitivity analyses were performed to test the robustness of the results and the Fine and Gray hazard model was applied to adjust the competing risk of death. Subgroup analyses were used to determine potential population heterogeneity. RESULTS The authors found a negative relationship between the preoperative CONUT score and recovery of walking independence at 180 days postoperatively, and that moderate-to-severe malnutrition evaluated by the CONUT score was independently associated with a 1.42-fold (95% CI, 1.12-1.80; P =0.004) increased risk of LWI. The results were overall robust. And in the Fine and Gray hazard model, the result was still statistically significant despite the apparent decrease in the risk estimate from 1.42 to 1.21. Furthermore, significant heterogeneities were observed in the subgroups of age, BMI, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, Charlson's comorbidity index, and surgical delay ( P for interaction < 0.05). CONCLUSION Preoperative malnutrition is a significant risk factor for LWI after hip fracture surgery, and nutrition screening on admission would generate potential health benefits.

Abstract
Background and aimsMalnutrition is widely present in elderly surgical patients and is highly correlated with prognosis after surgery. However, studies comparing the effectiveness of comprehensive nutritional screening tools in geriatric surgical patients have not yet been published. The nutritional risk among elderly orthopedic and neurosurgical patients and their associated clinical indicators and outcomes was assessed using four screening tools. The aim of this study was to explore suitable tools for screening the nutritional status and identify their potential to act as prognostic indicators.MethodsThe Nutritional Risk Score 2002 (NRS2002), Mini Nutritional Assessment - Short Form (MNA-SF), Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), and Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) were all performed within two days of admission and before surgery. The relationships between nutritional risk classifications and conventional nutritional markers, complications and length of hospital stay (LOS) were evaluated.ResultsIn this study, a total of 167 orthopedic patients and 103 neurosurgical patients were evaluated. In neurosurgical patients, the rates of malnutrition or patients at risk of malnutrition according to the MNA-SF, GNRI, NRS2002 and PNI were 26.4, 24.6, 8.4, and 12.6%, respectively. According to the NRS2002 and PNI, the rates of old neurosurgical patients who were malnourished or at risk of malnutrition were 14.6 and 3.9%, respectively, which were lower than the results assessed by the MNA-SF (24.3%) and GNRI (15.5%). Multiple regression analysis revealed a significant relationship between the PNI (malnourished vs.well-nourished, OR = 5.39, 95% CI:1.11-26.18, P = 0.037), GNRI (at risk vs.no risk, OR = 3.96, 95% CI: 1.01-15.45, P = 0.048) and the complications in orthopedic patients. Only GNRI was significantly related to LOS > 7 days (at risk vs.no risk, OR = 4.01, 95% CI: 1.64-9.80, P = 0.002). For neurosurgical patients, an association between GNRI and LOS > 8 days was discovered (at risk vs.no risk, OR = 3.35, 95% CI: 1.03-10.86, P = 0.002).ConclusionAmong the four nutritional risk screening tools, the GNRI exhibited better predictive value for short-term outcomes in elderly perioperative orthopedic and neurosurgical patients, thereby suggesting that it might be a more suitable tool for nutritional risk screening. Additional studies are required to determine the applicability of GNRI in other surgical fields.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nutritional risk is common among patients admitted to the emergency department and is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Despite its large population, few comprehensive studies have been conducted in China concerning the nutritional status of patients admitted to emergency department observation units (EDOUs). METHODS Patients admitted to EDOUs of 90 tertiary hospitals in China between June 2020 and December 2020 were enrolled. Demographic information, laboratory parameters, nutritional support therapies, and 28-day mortality were recorded. Risk factors for mortality were examined using multi-variate-adjusted logistic regression analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for each predictor of mortality were plotted, and the area under the ROC (AUROC) curves was compared. RESULTS A total of 2,005 eligible patients were finally enrolled. At the 28-day follow-up, 1,911 patients survived, and 94 died. The group with a Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) score of 3-4 points was the largest (52.01%). The number of patients receiving oral nutritional supplements, enteral nutrition (EN), parenteral nutrition (PN), and the combination of EN and PN was 425, 314, 853, and 413, respectively. Among the total, 77.55% of patients had nutritional risk (NRS 2002 ≥3). The proportion of patients with high nutritional risk (NRS2002≥5) in the age group >80 years was significantly higher than that in the age group 66-80 years (29.00% vs. 23.93%, P=0.032), but not significantly higher than that in the age group 18-65 years (29.00% vs. 26.54%, P=0.449). Logistic regression analysis revealed that heart failure (odds ratio [OR] 1.856, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.087-3.167, P=0.023), consciousness (OR 2.967, 95% CI 1.894-4.648, P<0.001), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score (OR 1.037, 95% CI 1.017-1.058, P<0.001), NRS 2002 score (OR 1.286, 95% CI 1.115-1.483, P=0.001), and Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form score (OR 0.946, 95% CI 0.898-0.997, P=0.039) were all independent risk factors for 28-day mortality. APACHE II and NRS 2002 scores were superior to other predictors according to the comparison of AUROC. CONCLUSIONS Nutritional risk is prevalent among older patients in EDOUs in China. APACHE II and NRS 2002 scores are important risk factors for mortality in patients admitted to the EDOU. Timely and appropriate nutritional screening and support measures are critical to reduce patients' length of hospital stay and mortality.

[PMID: 36446553 DOI: 10.1002/ncp.10934] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2022] [Revised: 09/30/2022] [Accepted: 10/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited information exists about the predictive effect of Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS) 2002 on orthopedic surgery. The aim of the present study is to explore the role of NRS 2002 in postoperative complications and resource utilization in patients with total joint arthroplasty (TJA). METHODS We retrospectively collected the demographics and surgical results of nearly 2000 TJA patients admitted from 2016 to 2020 and assessed the differences in short- and long-term complications and resource utilization parameters. Multivariate linear, logistic regression, and subgroup analysis were subsequently used to control for potential confounders. Survival analysis was performed to further verify the cumulative incidence of postoperative complications. RESULTS We identified 1532 patients receiving TJA, 8.7% of which were at nutrition risk (NRS 2002 score ≥3 out of 7). Preoperative nutrition risk was associated with an increased risk of systemic complications, incisional complications, surgical site infection (SSI), incisional SSI, periprosthetic joint infection, dislocation, and periprosthetic fracture after TJA (odds ratio [OR], 3.62-31.99; all P < 0.05). Preoperative nutrition risk was further associated with an increased risk of cardiac complications, respiratory complications, urinary complications, and arthroplasty-related reoperation (OR, 3.16-12.29; all P < 0.01). Moreover, preoperative nutrition risk was associated with increased costs and length of stay, and increased risk of unplanned intensive care unit admission, arthroplasty-related readmission, infection-related readmission, and SSI-related readmission. CONCLUSIONS NRS 2002 is associated with an elevated risk of postoperative complications and increased resource utilization, following TJA. Thus, routine screening is recommended to identify nutrition risk statuses of patients undergoing elective TJA.

Comparison of Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short and Long Form to predict all-cause mortality up to 7 years in geriatric outpatients. Nutr Clin Pract 2022; 37:1418-1428. [PMID: 35678359 DOI: 10.1002/ncp.10878] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2022] [Revised: 05/07/2022] [Accepted: 05/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to find out whether the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF) can predict mortality up to 7 years when compared with the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Long Form (MNA-LF) in geriatric outpatients. METHODS This retrospective study was conducted in patients (≥65 years) who were admitted to the geriatric outpatient clinic of a university hospital. MNA-SF and MNA-LF results were available for all patients. Patients were grouped as normal nutrition status (score 12-14), at risk of malnutrition (score between 8 and 11), or malnourished (score ≤7) according to MNA-SF. Based on MNA-LF, patients had normal nutrition status (score ≥24), were at risk of malnutrition (score 17-23.5), or were malnourished (score <17). Survival of the patients was assessed retrospectively. RESULTS The study included 209 patients (62.2% female). During the 7-year follow-up, 77 (36.8%) patients died. After adjusting for age, sex, and Charlson comorbidity index, MNA-SF was significantly associated with all-cause mortality during 6-month, 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, and 7-year follow-up time. MNA-LF was superior to MNA-SF to estimate 6-month (P = 0.004) and 1-year mortality (P = 0.031). There was no difference between MNA-SF and MNA-LF regarding 3-year, 5-year, and 7-year mortality. CONCLUSION MNA-SF can predict short-term and long-term mortality in geriatric outpatients as well as MNA-LF. A cut-off value of 11, indicating risk of malnutrition according to MNA-SF, may be used for the risk estimation of 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year mortality. Therefore, this study highlights the importance of screening all geriatric outpatients for malnutrition and especially the risk of malnutrition for early intervention and treatment.

Li Y, Peng Z, Xu D, Peng Y, Liu X. The GLIM Criteria Represent a More Appropriate Tool for Nutritional Assessment in Patients With Crohn's Disease. Front Nutr 2022; 9:826028. [PMID: 35419396 PMCID: PMC9000965 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2022.826028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2021] [Accepted: 03/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The early recognition of malnutrition is essential for improving the prognosis of patients with Crohn's disease (CD). The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria represent a new consensus for the diagnosis of malnutrition but need to be validated in CD. The aims were to explore the related factors of malnutrition in CD and explore whether GLIM-positive patients who did not meet the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) would benefit from nutritional treatment. Methods This study retrospectively enrolled patients with CD at the Gastroenterology Department of Xiangya Hospital Central South University between March 2020 and March 2021. After bioelectrical impedance analysis, all patients underwent nutritional screening and diagnosis using the NRS 2002 and GLIM criteria, respectively. Multivariable analysis was performed to evaluate risk factors related to malnutrition in patients with CD. A multivariable Cox hazard model was used to assess the association between nutritional therapy and prognostic outcomes. Results Of the 118 patients included, fifty were classified as having a high malnutrition risk according to the NRS 2002, while 76 were diagnosed with malnutrition by the GLIM criteria. Multivariate analysis showed that a high malnutrition risk was independently associated with the L4 phenotype [odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval (CI)) = 4.718 (1.108, 20.10), p = 0.036] and Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) [OR (95% CI) = 1.018 (1.007, 1.029), p = 0.002] based on the NRS 2002. The age at onset [OR (95% CI) = 0.828 (0.699, 0.980), p = 0.028] and CDAI [OR (95% CI) = 1.111 (1.034, 1.195), p = 0.004] were regarded as independent risk factors related to malnutrition, as determined by the GLIM criteria. Among 26 GLIM+/NRS− patients, significantly more patients who received nutritional support achieved 6-week remission than patients who did not (100 vs. 71.4%, p < 0.05). The 6-week remission risk in patients treated with nutrition therapy was more than 4-fold higher than those without nutritional therapy. Conclusion The GLIM criteria could diagnose more malnourished patients with CD who are not positively screened by the NRS 2002, among whom nutritional support therapy would be beneficial for disease remission. The new criteria should be more appropriate for assessing the nutritional status of patients with CD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION the frail status of elderly hypertensive patients easily damages the function of many physiological systems. OBJECTIVES we aimed to investigate the correlation between the frail status and lower extremity function of elderly hospitalized patients with hypertension. METHODS a total of 336 eligible subjects were assigned to frail, pre-frail and non-frail groups according to the "Frail" scale. Lower extremity function was assessed by the Short Physical Performance Battery including chair-sit-to-stand, three-posture balance and 6-meter gait speed tests. The influences of factors on frailty were evaluated using the Cox multivariate regression analysis. The correlation between frailty score and lower extremity function score was explored by Spearman's analysis. The values of factors for predicting frail status were analyzed by plotting receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. RESULTS the three groups had similar age, systolic blood pressure, and nutritional, sleepiness and lower extremity function statuses (p < 0.05). Compared with the non-frail group, the lower extremity function score of the frail group was lower (p < 0.05). Age, systolic blood pressure and sleepiness status were the independent risk factors of frailty (p < 0.05), and lower extremity function parameters were independent protective factors (p < 0.05). There were negative correlations between frail status and lower extremity function parameters (p < 0.05). The area under the ROC curve was 0.850, and the optimal cutoff value was 7.80. Lower extremity function had a high value for predicting frail status. CONCLUSIONS lower extremity function is negatively correlated with the frail status of elderly hospitalized patients with hypertension, as a protective factor of frailty, which can be used to predict frail status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low nutritional status is common among surgical patients. A low nutrition profile is related to muscle weakness and immune suppression, which may be associated with negative outcomes. In this study, we evaluated the prevalence of low nutrition and assessed the relationship between nutritional status and length of hospital stay in surgical patients. METHODS The study participants were patients who underwent abdominal surgery between 2016 and 2018 at our hospital. The Mini Nutritional Status Short-Form score and patient demographics, including current medical status, were extracted from the medical records. Data on anesthesia time, blood loss, and use of epidural anesthesia were also recorded. The primary study outcome was the difference in length of hospitalization from the standard duration (hospitalization = actual length of hospitalization-standard length of hospitalization). RESULTS Eight hundred and thirty five patients met the inclusion criteria. Their nutritional status was classified as normal (59.0%), at risk (29.6%), or malnutrition (11.4%). Linear regression analysis revealed that nutritional status, serum albumin level, and anesthesia time were associated with the length of hospital stay. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that a low nutrition profile before surgery is associated with a prolonged hospital stay.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is common and associated with adverse outcomes in geriatric patients with hip fractures. The study aims to evaluate the relationship between the nutritional status and rehabilitation efficiency and functional outcome on discharge in postoperative hip fracture patients. METHODS We prospectively evaluated 172 postoperative hip fracture patients who were admitted to the community hospital from November 2019 to November 2020. Nutritional status was assessed by the 7-point Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) within 48 h of admission. Patients were assessed for rehabilitation efficiency and functional outcome at the end of their inpatient stay. RESULTS There were 172 patients recruited with 100 (58.1%) malnourished and 72 (41.9%) well-nourished patients. Patients in the malnourished group were significantly older, needed walking aid assistance prior to sustaining hip fracture, cognitively impaired and had more comorbidities. Malnourished patients had lower rehabilitation efficiency scores (0.27, 95% CI -0.12 - 0.67 vs 1.32, 95% CI 0.88-1.76) and poorer functional outcomes on discharge (OR 21.5, 95% CI 2.45-188.7, p-value <0.001), after adjustment for pre- and post-fracture confounders. CONCLUSION Malnutrition was present in more than half the postoperative hip fracture patients admitted to a community hospital in Singapore. This study showed that poor nutritional status is associated with significantly lower rehabilitation efficiency and functional outcome on discharge in hip fracture patients. Given the medical, social and economic stakes relating to hip fractures, it is essential to recognise and treat malnutrition in the hospital and community.

Abstract
Hip fractures are an important socio-economic problem in western countries. Over the past 60 years orthogeriatric care has improved the management of older patients admitted to hospital after suffering hip fractures. Quality of care in orthogeriatric co-management units has increased, reducing adverse events during acute admission, length of stay, both in-hospital and mid-term mortality, as well as healthcare and social costs. Nevertheless, a large number of areas of controversy regarding the clinical management of older adults admitted due to hip fracture remain to be clarified. This narrative review, centered in the last 5 years, combined the search terms "hip fracture", "geriatric assessment", "second hip fracture", "surgery", "perioperative management" and "orthogeriatric care", in order to summarise the state of the art of some questions such as the optimum analgesic protocol, the best approach for treating anemia, the surgical options recommendable for each type of fracture and the efficiency of orthogeriatric co-management and functional recovery.

Preliminary effect and feasibility of physiotherapy with strength training and protein-rich nutritional supplement in combination with anabolic steroids in cross-continuum rehabilitation of patients with hip fracture: protocol for a blinded randomized controlled pilot trial (HIP-SAP1 trial). Trials 2019; 20:763. [PMID: 31870451 PMCID: PMC6929304 DOI: 10.1186/s13063-019-3845-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2019] [Accepted: 10/24/2019] [Indexed: 01/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND A 2014 Cochrane review evaluating the effect of anabolic steroids after hip fracture concluded that the quality of the studies was insufficient to draw conclusions on the effects and recommended further high-quality trials in the field. Therefore, the aim of this pilot trial is to determine the preliminary effect and feasibility of a 12-week multimodal intervention consisting of physiotherapy (with strength training), protein-rich nutritional supplement and anabolic steroid on knee-extension muscle strength and function 14 weeks after hip fracture surgery. METHODS We plan to conduct a randomized, placebo-controlled pilot trial with 48 patients operated for acute hip fracture. The patients are randomized (1:1) to either (1) physiotherapy with protein-rich nutritional supplement plus anabolic steroid or (2) physiotherapy with protein-rich nutritional supplement plus placebo. Outcome assessments will be carried out blinded at baseline (3-10 days after surgery) and at 14 weeks after entering the trial. Primary outcome is the change from baseline to follow-up in maximal isometric knee-extension muscle strength in the fractured limb. Secondary outcomes are physical performance test, patient-reported outcomes, and measures of body composition. DISCUSSION If the trial is found feasible and the results show an indication of anabolic steroid being a relevant addition to further enhance the recovery of muscle strength and function in an enhanced recovery after surgery program, this trial will constitute the basis of a larger confirmatory trial. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03545347. Preregistered on 4 June 2018.
