Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the association between weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) and trabecular bone score (TBS) and to assess the ability of WWI to identify individuals with degraded bone microarchitecture (DBMA). METHODS This cross-sectional study included participants aged 20 and older from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Furthermore, WWI was calculated by waist circumference and body weight. In addition, linear regression models were employed to investigate the association between WWI and TBS, while logistic regression models were employed to determine the association between WWI and the risk of DBMA. Finally, the performance of WWI in identifying individuals with DBMA was using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves with area under the ROC curve. RESULTS A total of 4,179 participants with a mean age of 49.90 years were included in the final analysis. WWI was negatively associated with TBS and positively associated with an increased risk of DBMA. Furthermore, the associations between WWI and TBS, as well as DBMA risk, were stable regardless of stratification by age, sex, race, or body mass index (BMI). Moreover, WWI achieved good performances in identifying individuals with DBMA or low TBS. In addition, the combination of WWI and BMI showed better performances in identifying individuals with DBMA or low TBS than WWI or BMI alone. CONCLUSION WWI established a negative association with TBS and a positive association with the risk of DBMA. Clinicians should be alert to the potential risk of DBMA among individuals with high WWI. Moreover, WWI, alone or in combination with BMI, has the potential to serve as an early screening strategy in identifying individuals with DBMA.

Zhao W, Fu M, Wang Z, Hou Z. Risk factors and prognosis of perioperative acute heart failure in elderly patients with hip fracture: case-control studies and cohort study. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2024; 25:143. [PMID: 38355490 PMCID: PMC10868018 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-024-07255-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2023] [Accepted: 02/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Elderly patients with hip fracture who develop perioperative acute heart failure (AHF) have a poor prognosis. The aim of the present study is to investigate the potential risks of AHF in elderly hip-fracture patients in the postoperative period and to evaluate the prognostic significance of AHF. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on hip fracture patients at the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University, who were continuously in hospital from September 2018 to August 2020. To identify independent risk factors for AHF in elderly patients with hip fracture, univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was employed. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve illustrated the relationship between all-cause mortality in the AHF and non-AHF groups. An assessment of the correlation between baseline factors and all-cause mortality was conducted by means of univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazards analysis. RESULTS We eventually recruited 492 patients,318 of whom were in the AHF group. Statistical significance was found between the two groups for age group, concomitant coronary heart disease, COPD, haemoglobin level below 100 g/L on admission, albumin level below 40 g/L on admission, and increased intraoperative blood loss. Age over 75, concomitant coronary artery disease, hemoglobin level below 100 g/L and albumin level below 40 g/L on admission were independent risk factors for AHF in older hip fracture patients. The AHF group exhibited a higher incidence of perioperative complications, such as anemia, cardiovascular issues, and stress hyperglycemia, as well as all-cause mortality. Based on our COX regression analysis, we have identified that the main risk factors for all-cause mortality in AHF patients are concomitant coronary heart disease, absence of pulmonary infection, absence of diabetes, absence of cancer, and absence of urinary tract infection. CONCLUSION Enhancing hip fracture prevention for AHF is particularly important. It is crucial to make informed decisions to avoid poor prognoses. Patients whose age over 75 years old, concomitant coronary heart disease, hemoglobin < 100 g/L and album< 40 g/L on admission are more likely to develop perioperative AHF. To avert complications and potential fatalities, patients with AHF must receive appropriate care during the perioperative period.

Incidence of dislocation and associated risk factors in patients with a femoral neck fracture operated with an uncemented hemiarthroplasty. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2024; 25:119. [PMID: 38336702 PMCID: PMC10854108 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-024-07237-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2023] [Accepted: 01/28/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several factors might be associated with risk of dislocating following uncemented hemiarthroplasty (HA) due to femoral neck fracture (FNF). Current evidence is limited with great variance in reported incidence of dislocation (1-15%). Aim of this study was to identify the cumulative incidence of first-time dislocation following HA and to identify the associated risk factors. METHOD We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients receiving an HA (BFX Biomet stem, posterior approach) at Copenhagen University Hospital, Bispebjerg, in 2010-2016. Patients were followed until death or end of study (dec 2018). Dislocation was identified by code extraction from the Danish National Patient Registry. Variables included in the multivariate model were defined pre-analysis to include: age, sex and variables with a p-value < 0.1 in univariate analysis. A regression model was fitted for 90 days dislocation as the assumption of proportional hazard rate (HR) was not met here after. RESULTS We identified 772 stems (some patients occurred with both right and left hip) and 58 stems suffered 90 dislocations during the observation period, resulting in a 7% (CI 5-9) incidence of dislocation 90 days after index surgery. 55 of the 58 stems (95%) experienced the first dislocation within 90 days after surgery. Only absence of dementia was identified as an independent protective factor in the cause-specific model (HR 0.46 (CI 0.23-0.89)) resulting in a 2.4-fold cumulative risk of experiencing a dislocation in case of dementia. Several other variables such as age, sex, various medical conditions, surgery delay and surgical experience were eliminated as statistical risk factors. We found a decrease in survival probability for patients who experienced a dislocation during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of first-time dislocation of HA (BFX Biomet stem, posterior approach) in patients with a hip fracture is found to be 7% 90 days after surgery. Due to the non-existing attribution bias, we claim it to be the true incidence. Dementia was among several variables identified as the only risk factor for dislocation. In perspective, we may consider treating patients with dementia by other methods than HA e.g., HA with cement or with a more constrained solution. Also, a surgical approach that reduce the risk of dislocation should be considered.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Intraoperative sedation plays an important role in the management of regional anesthesia. Few studies have investigated the association of sedation during spinal anesthesia with postoperative mortality in older patients as a primary outcome. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that sedation during spinal anesthesia increases postoperative mortality in older patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. DESIGN Retrospective, cohort study. SETTING Acute and subacute care hospitals in Japan. PATIENTS Patients aged 65 years and older who received hip fracture surgery under spinal anesthesia between April 2014 and May 2022. EXPOSURE Sedation during spinal anesthesia. MEASUREMENTS Postoperative in-hospital all-cause mortality within 30 days. MAIN RESULTS In total, 25,554 eligible patients were identified. Propensity score matching created 4735 pairs, and baseline patient characteristics were acceptably balanced between the sedation and non-sedation groups. There was no significant difference in 30-day postoperative mortality between the two groups (hazard ratio [95% CIs]: 0.92 [0.59-1.44]). CONCLUSIONS There was no association between sedation during hip fracture surgery in older patients under spinal anesthesia and postoperative mortality. However, these results are limited to our population, and further prospective studies are needed to determine the safety of sedation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hemiarthroplasty (HA) is the usual treatment for displaced femoral neck fractures (FNF) in elderly patients. Patients may be unsuitable for HA due to secondary conditions such as systemic infections or severe neurological conditions, which is why Girdlestone resection arthroplasty (GRA) may be an option. We aimed to determine (1) patient survival in matched patient groups treated with either GRA or HA and (2) functional outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS 21 patients treated with GRA for FNF in a German university hospital were retrospectively reviewed (2015-2019). After matching for age and comorbidities, a control group of 42 HA patients was established. Patient survival was determined by a Kaplan-Meier analysis. The mean follow-up (FU) was 1.5 (0-4.4) years. Function at FU was documented using the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) and the National Hip Fracture Database (NHFD) mobility score. RESULTS The 1-month-mortality was 19% in the GRA group and 12% in the HA group; the 1-year mortality was 71% and 49%, respectively (P = 0.01). The mHHS at FU was lower in the GRA group than in the HA group (22 [range 0-50] vs. 46 [11-80]). 82% of patients in the GRA group were bedridden post-surgery as opposed to 19% in the HA group. CONCLUSION Patients with HA after FNF had higher survival and better functional outcomes when compared with GRA in matched patient groups. Considering this, GRA for FNF should be selected restrictively.

Abstract
Background The elderly population is expanding globally. This gives numerous challenges especially regarding hip fracture patients. In the US alone over 300.000 hip fracture patients are treated each year, and a large amount of those develop opoid addiction. Hip fractures require surgical intervention within 24 h and is associated with significant pain even at rest. Postoperative analgesic treatment need to be optimized to ensure adequate pain relief and to prevent subsequent opioid addiction. Previous studies have shown that methadone effectively decreases post-operative opioid consumption but the studies focused on younger patients undergoing elective surgery. This study focus on the use of methadone on the elderly, fragile patients undergoing acute surgery, by first determining the maximal tolerable dose.The hypothesis is the maximal tolerable doses of these hip-fracture patients lies between 0.10 mg/kg and 0.20 mg/kg. This trial aims to estimate the maximum tolerable dose of methadone when administered to elderly patients undergoing surgery for a hip fracture. Method This project is an adaptive dose-finding trial. The continuous reassessment method will estimate the maximum tolerable dose of methadone. The primary outcome will be respiratory depression. The statistical analysis plan will be published a priori to the closure of patient recruitment and statistical analysis of database results. Conclusion The results of this study will give valuable information about the maximally tolerated dose of methadone for postoperative pain relief for elderly patients with hip fractures and potential adverse events.This trial is registered on clinicaltrials.gov with trial registration: NCT05581901.

Abstract
Hip muscles play an increasingly important role in lower limb function with aging. Investigating the deterioration of hip muscles and its relationship with hip fracture (HF) may help identify older adults prone to fall. In this study, patients with fall-related HF within 48 h and non-fracture controls aged ≥ 60 years were enrolled. The cross-sectional area (size) and attenuation (density) of the hip flexors, extensors, adductors, and abductors were calculated after segmentation on computed tomography images. The correlation of muscle parameters with HF and age were evaluated using logistic and multiple regression, respectively. Discrimination of HF was analyzed by receiver-operating characteristic analyses. A total of 220 patients and 91 controls were included. The size of the flexors, extensors, and abductors, and the density of the flexors, adductors, and abductors were lower in patients with HF after adjustment for sex, age, and body mass index (BMI). However, decreased muscle size was only observed in hip extensors in patients aged 60-74 years. Decreased muscle size was associated with HF independent of sex, age, BMI, and hip trabecular bone mineral density. Abductor size exhibited a significantly larger negative correlation with age in patients compared to controls. Including abductor size or all muscle size was effective for discrimination of HF in patients aged ≥ 75 years. In conclusion, older adults with HF may have sustained extensive and differential hip muscle deterioration before the injury; extensor atrophy in younger-old age and consideration of a closer relationship between abductor size and age deserve attention.

Change in 1-year mortality after hip fracture surgery over the last decade in a European population. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2022:10.1007/s00402-022-04719-4. [PMID: 36456765 PMCID: PMC9715409 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-022-04719-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2022] [Accepted: 11/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE There are scarce data on the mortality after hip fracture surgery for patients treated in the most recent years. The objective of this study was to analyze whether the overall initiatives introduced over the last decade for elderly patients with hip fractures had a positive impact on the 1-year mortality. METHODS Patients treated during 2010-2012 were compared with patients treated during 2018-2020 for all-cause 1-year mortality. Variables influencing mortality were collected based on the literature, including demographic, comorbidity, cognitive status, and preinjury physical function. Crude mortalities were compared between periods, as well as with the expected mortality in the general population adjusted for age, gender, and year of surgery using the standardized mortality ratio (SMR). A multivariate model was used to identify mortality risk factors. RESULTS 591 patients older than 65 years were treated during 2010-2012 and 642 patients during 2018-2020. The mean age increased significantly between periods (78.9 vs. 82.6 years, respectively, p = 0.001) in both genders, together with an increase in comorbidity (p = 0.014). The in-hospital mortality risk had no significant difference between periods (2.5 vs. 2.0%, p = 0.339), but the 30-day mortality risk (8.3 vs. 5.5%, p = 0.031) and 1-year mortality risk (16.1 vs. 11.9%, p = 0.023) declined significantly. However, 1-year mortality in 2020 had an excess of 1.33 in SMR. Age older than 80 years, male gender, and Charlson comorbidity index > 2 were significant predictors of 1-year mortality. CONCLUSION The important evolution achieved in the last decade for the management of patients with hip fracture surgery has led to a significant decline in 1-year mortality, but the 1-year mortality remains significantly higher compared to the general population of similar age and gender.

Abstract
Aims The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to gather epidemiological information on selected musculoskeletal injuries and to provide pooled injury-specific incidence rates. Methods PubMed (National Library of Medicine) and Scopus (Elsevier) databases were searched. Articles were eligible for inclusion if they reported incidence rate (or count with population at risk), contained data on adult population, and were written in English language. The number of cases and population at risk were collected, and the pooled incidence rates (per 100,000 person-years) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by using either a fixed or random effects model. Results The screening of titles yielded 206 articles eligible for inclusion in the study. Of these, 173 (84%) articles provided sufficient information to be included in the pooled incidence rates. Incidences of fractures were investigated in 154 studies, and the most common fractures in the whole adult population based on the pooled incidence rates were distal radius fractures (212.0, 95% CI 178.1 to 252.4 per 100,000 person-years), finger fractures (117.1, 95% CI 105.3 to 130.2 per 100,000 person-years), and hip fractures (112.9, 95% CI 82.2 to 154.9 per 100,000 person-years). The most common sprains and dislocations were ankle sprains (429.4, 95% CI 243.0 to 759.0 per 100,000 person-years) and first-time patellar dislocations (32.8, 95% CI 21.6 to 49.7 per 100,000 person-years). The most common injuries were anterior cruciate ligament (17.5, 95% CI 6.0 to 50.2 per 100,000 person-years) and Achilles (13.7, 95% CI 9.6 to 19.5 per 100,000 person-years) ruptures. Conclusion The presented pooled incidence estimates serve as important references in assessing the global economic and social burden of musculoskeletal injuries.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the possible association between P-Albumin and 30-day mortality in hip fracture patients. The study is based on information from a database of hip fracture patients, established and collected at Bispebjerg University Hospital (Copenhagen, Denmark). This database includes all femoral neck (DS720), pertrochanteric (DS721) and subtrochanteric fractures (DS722) admitted to Bispebjerg Hospital between 1996 and 2012. We further identified all surgically treated hip fracture patients aged >60 years with an available P-Albumin at admission. 1856 patients were eligible for inclusion in this study (73.7% female, 26.3% male). 11.8% of these had died within 30 days. Differences between continuous variables were tested using unpaired t-tests while differences in the distribution of categorical variables were tested using chi square tests. After adjusting for co-variates in a logistic regression model, the association between P-Albumin and 30-day mortality remained increased, (OR 1.09, 95% CI 1.05;1.11 (p < 0.0001)). This study shows an increased 30-day mortality risk among surgically treated hip fracture patients with decreasing levels of P-Albumin even after adjusting for age, sex, BMI, CCI and fracture type. Routine screening of patients for hypoalbuminemia at hospital admission may be beneficial in the management of hip fracture patients.

Abstract
Background Daylight Savings Time (DST) transition is known to cause sleep disruption, and thus may increase the incidence of injuries and accidents during the week following the transition. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of femur fractures after DST transition. Methods We conducted retrospective population-based register study. All Finnish patients 70 years or older who were admitted to hospital due to femur fracture between 1997 and 2020 were gathered from the Finnish National Hospital Discharge Register. Negative binomial regression with 95% confidence intervals (CI) was used to evaluate the incidence of femur fractures after DST transition. Results The data included a total of 112,658 femur fractures during the study period between 1997 and 2020, with an annual mean (SD) of 4,694 (206) fractures. The incidence of femur fractures decreased at the beginning of the study period from 968 to 688 per 100,000 person-years between 1997 and 2007. The weekly mean of femur fractures remained lower during the summer (from 130 to 150 per 100,000 person-weeks) than in winter (from 160 to 180 per 100,000 person-weeks). Incidence rate ratio for the Monday following DST transition was 1.10 (CI [0.98-1.24]) in spring and 1.10 (CI [0.97-1.24]) in fall, and for the whole week 1.07 (CI [1.01-1.14]) in spring and 0.97 (CI [0.83-1.13]) in fall. Conclusion We found weak evidence that the incidence of femur fractures increases after DST transition in the spring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This retrospective study investigated the effects of fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) as an adjunctive management to parecoxib for pain control after total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS A total of 72 patient records of THA were included in this retrospective study. All patients received parecoxib and were allocated to either the treatment group (n = 36) or the control group (n = 36). In addition, patients in the treatment group underwent FICB. The primary outcome was pain intensity measured using a resting and moving visual analog scales (VASs). The secondary outcomes were inflammatory factors (interleukin 6 and C-reactive protein) and occurrence rate of adverse events. RESULTS Patients in the treatment group had better outcomes in the resting VAS (12 hours, P < .01; 24 hours, P < .01; 36 hours, P = .01; 72 hours, P = .03), moving VAS (12 hours, P < .01; 24 hours, P < .01; 36 hours, P = .02; 72 hours, P = .02), serum interleukin 6 (P < .01), and C-reactive protein (P < .01) than those in the control group at different time points. In addition, there were no significant differences in the occurrence rate of adverse events. CONCLUSION The findings of this study demonstrated that the effects of FICB as an adjunctive management to parecoxib are superior to those of parecoxib alone for pain control after THA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Potentially disruptive medical, surgical, and social events-such as pneumonia, hip fracture, and widowhood-may accelerate the trajectory of decline and impact caregiving needs in older adults, especially among people with dementia (PWD). Prior research has focused primarily on nursing home residents with dementia. We sought to assess the incidence of potentially disruptive events in community-dwelling people with and without dementia. METHODS Retrospective cohort study of participants aged 65+ enrolled in the Health and Retirement Study between 2010 and 2018 (n = 9346), including a subset who were married-partnered at baseline (n = 5105). Dementia was defined with a previously validated algorithm. We calculated age-adjusted and gender-stratified incidence per 1000 person-years and incidence rate ratios of: 1) hospitalization for pneumonia, 2) hip fracture, and 3) widowhood in people with and without dementia. RESULTS PWD (n = 596) were older (mean age 84 vs. 75) and a higher proportion were female (67% vs. 57%) than people without dementia (PWoD) (n = 8750). Age-adjusted incidence rates (per 1000 person-years) of pneumonia were higher in PWD (113.1; 95% CI 94.3, 131.9) compared to PWoD (62.1; 95% CI 54.7, 69.5), as were hip fractures (12.3; 95% CI 9.1, 15.6 for PWD compared to 8.1; 95% CI 6.9, 9.2 in PWoD). Point estimates of widowhood incidence were slightly higher for PWD (25.3; 95% CI 20.1, 30.5) compared to PWoD (21.9; 95% CI 20.3, 23.5), but differences were not statistically significant. The association of dementia with hip fracture-but not pneumonia or widowhood-was modified by gender (male incidence rate ratio [IRR] 2.24, 95% CI 1.34, 3.75 versus female IRR 1.31 95% CI 0.92,1.86); interaction term p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS Compared to PWoD, community-dwelling PWD had higher rates of pneumonia and hip fracture, but not widowhood. Knowing how often PWD experience these events can aid in anticipatory guidance and care planning for this growing population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine the impact of fascia iliaca (FI) blocks performed in the emergency department on patients with hip fracture on opioid consumption, length of stay, and readmission rate. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING Community-based Level 1 trauma center. PATIENTS/PARTICIPANTS Ninety-eight patients with isolated femoral neck, intertrochanteric, and subtrochanteric femur fractures (OTA/AO 31-A and 31-B) presenting from January 1, 2020, to June 30, 2020. INTERVENTION Ultrasound-guided FI compartment block using 40 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS Opioid consumption, length of stay, discharge disposition, and 30-day readmission rate. RESULTS Thirty-three patients had contraindication to FI block. Thirty-nine of 65 patients (60%) without contraindications to undergoing FIB received FI block. Mean age, body mass index, fracture type, and surgical procedure were similar between patients undergoing FIB and not receiving FIB. The FIB group had significantly lower opioid consumption preoperatively [17.4 vs. 32.0 morphine milliequivalents (MMEs)], postoperatively (37.1 vs. 85.5 MMEs), over total hospital stay (54.5 vs. 117.5 MMEs), and mean opioid consumption per day of hospital stay (13.3 vs. 24.0 MMEs). Patients in the FIB group had shorter length of stay compared with the control group (4.3 vs. 5.2 days). There was no significant difference in discharge disposition destination between groups. No patients reported complications of FI block. CONCLUSIONS Undergoing FI block in the emergency department was associated with decreased opioid consumption, decreased length of stay, and decreased hospital readmission within 30 days of hip fracture. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level II. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Dementia is a common mental disorder that affects the life quality in elders. Recently, emerging studies reported the negative impacts of dementia on prognosis after hip surgeries. However, the integrated and reliable role of dementia in hip surgery is not illustrated. METHODS We searched the relevant literatures before June 2020 and extracted the data that met the inclusion criteria. The influence of dementia on postoperative walking ability, complications including infection, cardiovascular complications, hip dislocation, delirium, and respiratory complications, and survival rate at different periods were evaluated. Qualitative and quantitative analysis were conducted using Review Manager Version 5.3. RESULTS The meta-analysis enrolled a total of 30 studies with 1,037,049 patients. The pooled results revealed that there were significant negative impacts of dementia on the recovery of postoperative walking ability, postoperative infection, hip dislocation, delirium and respiratory complications and mortality at different periods. CONCLUSIONS Dementia is a crucial risk factor for the poor prognosis after hip fracture surgery. Therefore, when making clinical strategies for hip fracture patients with dementia, countermeasures for possible complications should be generated.

Abstract
PURPOSE Excess mortality among hip fracture patients is well documented. Less is known, however, about the causes of death in this group of patients, although existing literature suggests that bronchopneumonia and cardiovascular diseases constitute the leading causes of death. In this study, we investigated the causes of death in Danish hip fracture patients, who died within 30-days after sustaining a hip fracture, with a focus on differences in causes of death between men and women and between different age groups. Furthermore, the frequency of potentially preventable causes of death such as pneumonia, urinary tract infections and thromboembolic events was examined. METHODS All Danish patients aged 18 or more suffering from a hip fracture in the period 2002-2012 were examined for inclusion into the study. Data were collected from the Danish National Patient registry. The last month of 2012 being December was left out since we were looking at 30-days mortality. Logistic regression analysis was used to test the association between 30-day mortality with each of the causes of death adjusted for age, sex and CCI in multivariable models with results presented as odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS During this period, 93,637 patients sustained a hip fracture. Of these, 9504 patients died within 30-days and were included in the study. For patients dead within 30-days after sustaining a hip fracture, the two leading medical causes of death were cardiovascular disease (21.1%) and pneumonia (10.5%) when looking at both genders. A frequent cause of death especially in the younger age group of women less than 50 years old were infections (other than pneumonia) (18.2%) especially urinary tract infections. Pulmonary embolism accounted for 3.9% of causes of deaths in hip fracture patients. CONCLUSION In this study, cardiovascular disease and pneumonia were overall the leading medical causes of death in patients dead within 30-days after sustaining a hip fracture. Apart from pneumonia, another potentially preventable infection in younger female hip fracture patients was urinary tract infections. Pulmonary embolism, another potentially preventable cause of death might be underreported in Danish death certificates.

Abstract
Objective To describe the secular trends in comorbidities and postoperative complications of geriatric hip fracture patients from the Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital Hip Fracture Cohort between 2000 and 2019. Methods We included 2,805 hip fracture patients aged 65 years or older and received surgical treatment from 25 January 2000 to 19 December 2019. Demographic characteristics, comorbidities, postoperative complications, length of hospital stay, and the time to surgery were extracted and examined in each 5‐year period based on the admission year, namely 2000–2004, 2005–2009, 2010–2014, and 2015–2019. Categorical data were analyzed by chi‐squared or Fisher's exact test, with ordinal data by row mean scores difference test and continuous data by one‐way analysis of variance. Trends in comorbidities and postoperative complications were examined by the Cochran–Armitage trend test. Results The average age of the included population was 79.1 ± 7.3 years (mean ± standard deviation), and 69.1% were female. From 2000 to 2019, the proportion of females increased from 59.8% to 73.0% (P for trend <0.05). Hypertension (51.8%), type 2 diabetes (23.6%), coronary heart disease (20.9%), stroke (18.7%), and arrhythmia (11.2%) were the most prevalent five comorbidities. The proportion of hypertension was 27.0%, 45.4%, 53.0%, and 57.2% in each 5‐year period with an increasing trend (P for trend <0.05). The proportion of type 2 diabetes was 9.8%, 22.8%, 23.5%, and 26.0% in each 5‐year period (P for trend <0.05). Similar increasing trends were found in myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, and tumor. On the contrary, the proportion of patients with major postoperative complications decreased from 2000 to 2019, with 23.0%, 14.6%, 6.5%, and 5.6% in each 5‐year period (P for trend <0.05). For each specific postoperative complication, i.e. pneumonia, cardiovascular event, respiratory failure, and in‐hospital death, similar decreasing trends were found (all P for trend <0.05). Conclusion This descriptive analysis sheds light on the fact that the health status of the hip fracture population tends to shift gradually. Improving concepts and practices of clinical interventions may help reduce postoperative complications, whereas challenges in the management of comorbidities increase.

Abstract
Osteoporosis and its related fractures are major public health concerns. Physical activity (PA) is crucial for bone density preservation and fractures prevention. Yet, gaps in understanding exist regarding how ethno-cultural backgrounds might shape attitudes, intentions and actual PA participation. Based on the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) for predicting PA, the aims of this study were: (i) to compare attitudes, subjective norms, perceived control, intentions and knowledge, across four ethno-cultural groups; (ii) to evaluate the fit of the model we constructed across four ethno-cultural groups of women: Israeli-born Jews and Israeli-born Bedouin-Muslims, immigrants from the Former Soviet Union (FSU) and Ethiopian immigrants. Four hundred women (one hundred from each group), aged >65, completed valid and reliable questionnaires assessing knowledge, TPB components and actual PA. The level of knowledge on osteoporosis was relatively low among all four ethno-cultural groups. Intention to participate in PA was the only variable that directly predicted actual PA. Intention to participate in PA served as a mediator among attitudes, subjective norms, perceived control and actual PA. The structural equation models (SEMs) revealed that among Israeli-born Jews and Ethiopian immigrants, TPB components mediated the link between knowledge and intention to participate in PA. Among FSU immigrants and Israeli Bedouin-Muslims, the knowledge variable was not included in the final model, as its contribution was not significant. It is essential to better understand and augment interventions that enhance PA in the community, and to address the unique needs of each ethno-cultural group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Considerable in-hospital mortality was reported in geriatric patients with dementia sustaining femoral neck or inter-trochanteric fracture. We intended to establish a predictive model of in-hospital mortality for dementia patients after hip fracture surgery. METHODS We collected 8080 registrants ≧ 65 years old from the subset (LHID2000) of the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) that met the following inclusion criteria:1. Admitted with the ICD of hip fracture; 2. Underwent operation of hip fracture during the same hospitalization; 3. Co-existing diagnosis of dementia (ICD-9-CM codes 290). The co-morbidity was recorded according to validated Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) and Elixhauser Comorbidity Index (ECI) from the diagnoses of hospitalization. The main outcome measure was in-hospital mortality that was defined as death being reported during hospitalization. The comparison of predictability was conducted by Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) among different predictive models. RESULTS The Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) score and Elixhauser Comorbidity Index (ECI) score showed similar ability in predicting in-hospital mortality (AUC = 0.653, 95% CI = 0.611-0.695 for CCI; AUC = 0.624, 95% CI = 0.582-0.665 for ECI, p = 0.0717). By adding age grouping (≥80 yrs = 1, 65-80 yrs = 0) and gender difference (Male = 1, Female = 0), these two models were shifted to models CCI_new1 and ECI_new1. Consequently, the AUC greatly increased in the CCI_new1 (AUC = 0.682, 95% CI = 0.643-0.722). It therefore provided better prediction of in-hospital mortality than ECI_new1 (AUC = 0.651, 95% CI = 0.611-0.691) (p = 0.0444). CONCLUSIONS Utilizing the CCI with addition of grouping for age and gender provides a better prediction for in-hospital mortality than the ECI among elderly patients with concomitant dementia and hip fracture who underwent surgical intervention.

[PMID: 33512961 PMCID: PMC8011509 DOI: 10.1097/ede.0000000000001321] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2020] [Accepted: 01/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip fractures are common and severe conditions among older individuals, associated with high mortality, and the Nordic countries have the highest incidence rates globally. With this study, we aim to present a comprehensive picture of trends in hip fracture incidence and survival in the older Swedish population stratified by education, birth country, and comorbidity level. METHODS This study is based on a linkage of several population registers and included the entire population over the age of 60 living in Sweden. We calculated age-standardized incidence rates for first and recurrent hip fractures as well as age-standardized proportions of patients surviving 30 and 365 days through the time period 1998 to 2017. We calculated all outcomes for men and women in the total population and in each population stratum. RESULTS Altogether, we observed 289,603 first hip fractures during the study period. Age-standardized incidence rates of first and recurrent fractures declined among men and women in the total population and in each educational-, birth country-, and comorbidity group. Declines in incidence were more pronounced for recurrent than for first fractures. Approximately 20% of women and 30% of men died within 1 year of their first hip fracture. Overall, survival proportions remained constant throughout the study period but improved when taking into account comorbidity level. CONCLUSIONS Hip fracture incidence has declined across the Swedish population, but mortality after hip fracture remained high, especially among men. Hip fracture patients constitute a vulnerable population group with increasing comorbidity burden and high mortality risk.

Meyer AC, Modig K. The role of having children for the incidence of and survival after hip fracture - A nationwide cohort study. Bone 2021; 145:115873. [PMID: 33548574 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2021.115873] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2020] [Revised: 01/26/2021] [Accepted: 01/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Childless older women have a higher risk of sustaining a hip fracture than mothers. Several biological mechanisms linking parity to bone health among women have been proposed but it remains unclear whether a similar association exists among men. Adult children may also support their ageing parents with hip fracture, thereby potentially increasing survival chances. AIM To investigate how having children is related to the incidence of and survival after hip fracture among Swedish men and women over the age of 70. METHODS This nation-wide cohort study is based on data from several administrative population registers and a clinical hip fracture register. During 2013 to 2017, we estimated multivariable-adjusted incidence rate ratios to examine the association between number of children and incidence of first hip fracture and hazard ratios to examine survival after first hip fracture. RESULTS More than two million individuals were followed for hip fracture incidence and 45,991 patients for survival. Women had a higher risk of sustaining a hip fracture, but men had substantially higher mortality than women. Adjusting for education, comorbidity level, and further covariates, having children was associated with a lower risk of sustaining a hip fracture and a longer survival after hip fracture. CONCLUSIONS Older childless individuals may constitute risk groups for both the incidence of and mortality after hip fracture. Mechanisms linking parity to hip fracture risk are likely complex and not limited to biological mechanisms related to pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding among women.

Abstract
Background Delirium is a common complication of hip surgery patients. It is necessary to investigate the epidemiological characteristics and related risk factors of delirium after hip fracture surgery, to provide evidence supports for the prevention and management of delirium. Methods Hip fracture patients admitted to our hospital for surgical treatment from March 2018 to March 2020 were identified as participants. The characteristics and laboratory examinations in patients with and without postoperative delirium were compared and analyzed. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to ascertain the independent risk factors, and the area under the curve (AUC) were calculated to analyze the predictive value. Results A total of 568 postoperative patients with hip fracture were included, the incidence of delirium in postoperative patients with hip fracture was 14.44 %. The preoperative albumin (OR 4.382, 2.501 ~ 5.538), history of delirium (OR 2.197, 1.094 ~ 3.253), TSH (OR1.245, 1.077 ~ 1.638), the resting score on the first postoperative day (OR1.235, 0.944 ~ 1.506) and age(OR1.185, 0.065 ~ 1.814) were the independent risk factors for the postoperative delirium in patients with hip fracture(all p < 0.05). The AUC of albumin, history of delirium, TSH, the resting score on the first postoperative day and age were 0.794, 0.754, 0.746, 0.721 and 0.689 respectively. Conclusions The incidence of delirium in postoperative patients with hip fracture is rather high, especially for patients with old age and history of delirium. Monitoring albumin, TSH and resting score may be beneficial to the management of postoperative delirium.

Abstract
Background Hip fracture is common and carries high morbidity and mortality; thus, it has become a vital concern. We aim to analyse the present status, worldwide trends in hip fracture and state of clinical research. Methods Publications from 2000 to 2019 were retrieved from the Web of Science database and analysed using a bibliometric methodology. VOSviewer software was utilised for analysis. Results In total, 6139 publications were included, and publications increased annually from 152 in 2000 to 592 in 2019. U.S. researchers have produced the most publications, the highest H-index and the greatest number of citations. Osteoporosis International has published the most papers on the topic. Leading researchers, contributing institutions, their cooperative relationships and scientific masterpieces have been identified. The publications can be divided into five clusters: ‘mortality’, ‘surgical management’, ‘rehabilitation’, ‘osteoporosis’ and ‘epidemiology’. A clear developing trend was described, which began with fracture epidemiology and prevention, transitioned to perioperative management, orthogeriatric care and patient safety and then to functional recovery, disease burden and national audits in recent times. Conclusions Hip fractures result in conditions that extend far beyond orthopaedics concerning epidemiology and preventive medicine, internal medicine and endocrinology, as well as critical care and gerontology. Interest, research and publications are on the rise.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Patients with dementia have an increased 30-day mortality after hip fracture. We investigated clinical management including time to surgery, out-of-hours admission and surgery, surgery on weekends, surgery volume per ward, and anesthesia technique for this excess mortality risk. METHOD This register- and population-based study comprised 12,309 older adults (age 70+) admitted to hospital for a first-time hip fracture in 2013-2014, of whom 11,318 underwent hip fracture surgery. Cox proportional hazards regression models were applied for the analysis. RESULTS The overall postoperative 30-day mortality was 11.4%. Patients with dementia had a 1.5 times increased mortality risk than those without (HR = 1.50 [95% CI 1.31-1.72]). We observed no time-to-surgery difference by patient dementia status; additionally, the excess mortality risk in patients with dementia could not be explained by the clinical management factors we examined. CONCLUSIONS Increased mortality in patients with dementia could not be explained by the measured preoperative clinical management. Suboptimal handling of postoperative complication and rehabilitation are to be investigated for their role in the witnessed increased mortality for patients with dementia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine how timing of surgery affects transfusion, major complications, and mortality in patients who sustain a geriatric hip fracture while taking dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT; typically aspirin and clopidogrel). DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING University-affiliated Level 1 Trauma Center. PATIENTS Patients 65 years of age or older on DAPT with a geriatric hip fracture were investigated at a single institution between 2002 and 2017. Demographic and perioperative data were collected from patient records, institutional databases, and national hip fracture registry. INTERVENTION Fixation or arthroplasty. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENT Transfusion, major complications, and 30-day mortality. RESULTS Of the 6724 patients sustaining a geriatric hip fracture, 122 patients were taking DAPT on admission. Timing of surgery did not influence transfused units (incidence rate ratio 1.00, 95% confidence interval: 0.87-1.15, P = 0.968) but did affect major complications (time modeled as quadratic term; odds ratios ranging from 0.20 to 7.91, ptime = 0.001, ptime*time<0.001) and 30-day mortality (odds ratio 1.32, 95% confidence interval: 1.03-1.68, P = 0.030). CONCLUSION Surgical delay does not change the need for transfusion of hip fracture patients on DAPT, but it is associated with increased probabilities of major complications and 30-day mortality. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip fracture is the most clinically devastating and economically important complication of osteoporosis. Pain, suffering, loss of mobility and independence are some of the devastating consequences of hip fractures. The present study aimed to determine the main characteristics and outcomes of patients with osteoporotic hip fracture and treatment gaps at King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. METHODS This is a single-center, retrospective cohort study analyzing charts of patients > 45 years who were admitted for hip fracture secondary to low-grade trauma from 2008 to 2012. RESULTS A total of 264 patients (50.4% males and 49.6% females) were included. The most common fracture types were trochanter (49%) and femoral neck (46%). History of falls was documented in 115 (43.6%) patients. Bone mineral density (BMD) was assessed in only 41 (15.5%) patients. Majority underwent surgery (92%). Surgical complications occurred in 15 (5.7%) patients and medical complications in 21 (7.9%) patients. Vitamin D and calcium were the most common medications, but given only to 45 (17%) patients. Bone mineral density (BMD) assessment was significantly more frequent post-surgery than pre-surgery (p = 0.03). Very few patients received osteoporosis-specific therapy. F ollow-up revealed that 62 (23.5%) patients died 1 year after surgery. CONCLUSION These present findings warrant urgent reassessment of clinical care and treatments provided to patients with osteoporotic hip fractures to prevent recurrent fractures. The introduction of Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) in institutions caring for patients with hip fractures as internationally recommended will definitely change the current status of care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about the value of biomarkers for prognostication in hip fracture patients. The main objective of the present study was to assess if biomarkers add useful information to an existing risk score for prediction of 30-day mortality in patients suffering from out of hospital hip fractures. METHODS In a prospective observational single centre study, association between plasma concentration of ninety-two biomarkers at admission and 30-day mortality was analysed using logistic regression adjusted for risk factors included in Nottingham Hip Fracture Score (NHFS). Biomarkers associated with the outcome in the adjusted analysis were further evaluated by calculating the net reclassification improvement (NRI) and the change in area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) relative to the NHFS. RESULTS 997 patients were included. Sixty-two patients died within 30 days (6.2%). Eleven biomarkers were associated with 30-day mortality in adjusted analysis. Of these biomarkers Growth Differentiation Factor-15 (GDF-15) had NRI for the primary outcome (12.1%; 95% CI: 1.2-23.3) and Carbohydrate Antigen 125 (CA-125) improved the AUC relative to NHFS (improvement: 0.05; 95% CI: 0.01-0.10, P = .027). Both CA-125 and GDF-15 improved the AUC for a composite outcome of 30-day mortality and cardiovascular complications. CONCLUSIONS Adding GDF-15 or CA-125 to the Nottingham Hip Fracture Score improves the discrimination with regard to predicting 30-day mortality and may help to identify a subgroup of hip fracture patients with a particularly poor prognosis. The value of these biomarkers should be explored in further studies to confirm clinical utility.

Abstract
Timely surgical intervention in hip fracture has been linked to improved outcomes. Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs) are an emerging class of anticoagulants without evidence-based guidelines on surgical timing. This study aims to investigate how DOACs affect surgical timing and hence perioperative outcomes. A retrospective database/registry review was conducted for geriatric hip fracture patients aged 65 and over between 2011 and 2018. Primary outcome was 30-day mortality. Secondary outcomes included serious adverse events (SAE), transfusion and postoperative day (POD) 1 haemoglobin (Hb) levels. From a cohort of 3264 patients, 112 admitted subjects were taking DOACs; the annual proportion on DOACs increased over time. Mean time to surgery from last dose (Ts) was 2.2 (±1.0 SD) days. The primary outcome, 30-day mortality, occurred in 16 (14%) patients with secondary outcomes of SAEs in 25 (22%) patients and transfusion in 30 (27%) patients. Ts (days) did not significantly affect 30-day mortality (odds ratio (OR): 1.37, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.80–2.33; p = 0.248), SAE (hazard ratio (HR): 1.03, 95% CI: 0.70–1.52; p = 0.885), transfusion (OR: 0.72 95% CI: 0.45 to 1.16; p = 0.177) or POD 1 Hb (OR: 1.99, 95% CI: −0.59 to 4.57; p = 0.129). Timing of surgery does not influence common surgical outcomes such as 30-day mortality, SAE, transfusion, and POD1 Hb in patients taking DOACs on admission.

Abstract
Increased bone loss has been noted in lymphoma patients; however, the incidence of hip fracture is not known. The aim of our study was to explore the risk for hip fracture in patients with lymphoma compared with the entire Swedish population. The risk of hip fracture was determined in a retrospective population cohort study of adult Swedish lymphoma patients (n = 37,236), diagnosed 1995-2015 and compared with the entire Swedish population during the same period. The incidence of hip fracture in lymphoma patients was higher in women than in men, increased by age, and decreased by calendar year as also demonstrated in the total population. 2.2% of the men and 4.7% of women with lymphoma sustained a hip fracture. For the total group of females, the hazard ratio (HR) was 1.19 (95% CI 1.11-1.28) and for men, the hazard ratio was 1.06 (95% CI 0.97-1.17) compared with the Swedish population. The HR for hip fracture (2016) was 2.80 (95% CI 1.20-6.53), 2.04 (95% CI 1.30-3.20), 1.56 (95% CI 1.21-2.01), 1.08 (95% CI 0.89-1.30), and 1.07 (95% CI 0.92-1.25) in females aged 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80 years, respectively. Corresponding figures for men were not significant in 2016. Unmarried men with lymphoma had a two times higher risk for hip fracture (HR 2.02 95% CI 1.63-2.50) compared with married men. Patients with lymphoma had an increased risk of hip fracture, especially younger women and unmarried men. The incidence of hip fracture is decreased by calendar year in the lymphoma patients and the entire Swedish population.

[PMID: 32192480 PMCID: PMC7082956 DOI: 10.1186/s12916-020-01514-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2019] [Accepted: 02/06/2020] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND During the past decades, life expectancy has continued to increase in most high-income countries. Previous research suggests that improvements in life expectancy have primarily been driven by advances at the upper end of the health distribution, while parts of the population have lagged behind. Using data from the entire Swedish population, this study aims to examine the life expectancy development among subgroups of individuals with a history of common diseases relative to that of the general population. METHODS The remaining life expectancy at age 65 was estimated for each year in 1998-2017 among individuals with a history of disease, and for the total Swedish population. We defined population subgroups as individuals with a history of myocardial infarction, ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, hip fracture, or colon, breast, or lung cancer. We further distinguished between different educational levels and Charlson comorbidity index scores. RESULTS Life expectancy gains have been larger for men and women with a history of myocardial infarction, ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, and colon or breast cancer than for the general population. The life expectancy gap between individuals with a history of hip fracture or lung cancer and the general population has, however, been growing. Education and comorbidity have affected mortality levels, but have not altered the rate of increase in life expectancy among individuals with disease history. The female advantage in life expectancy was less pronounced among individuals with disease history than among the general population. CONCLUSIONS Life expectancy has increased faster in many subpopulations with a history of disease than in the general population, while still remaining at lower levels. Improvements in life expectancy have been observed regardless of comorbidity or educational level. These findings suggest that the rise in overall life expectancy reflects more than just improved survival among the healthy or the delayed onset of disease.

Combination of post-fascia iliaca compartment block and dexmedetomidine in pain and inflammation control after total hip arthroplasty for elder patients: a randomized control study. J Orthop Surg Res 2020; 15:42. [PMID: 32041613 PMCID: PMC7011216 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-020-1562-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2019] [Accepted: 01/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective This study aims to investigate the efficiency of fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) combined with dexmedetomidine (DEX) in postoperative and inflammation management for elder patients after total hip arthroplasty. Methods The present randomized controlled study included a total of 119 elder patients who received total hip arthroplasty in our hospital from March 2016 to December 2018. These patients were divided into three groups: control group, patients received routine general anesthesia; FICB group, patients received additional FICB after surgery; and combined group, patients received both pre-treatment of DEX and post-treatment of fascia iliaca compartment block. The serum levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured by ELISA. The visual analog scale (VAS) score was measured at 12, 24, 48, and 72 h after surgery, and the patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) pressing time within 48 h after surgery was also recorded. The Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) was used to measure the sleep quality before and at 1 month after surgery. Results The VAS scores were significantly lower in patients in the combined group, when compared with the other two groups, at 12, 24, 48, and 72 h after surgery. In addition, the VAS scores at all time points were significantly lower in the FICB group than the control group. The PCIA pressing times were also remarkably lower in the combined group. At 4, 24, 48, and 72 h after surgery, the serum levels of these inflammatory factors were the lowest in the combined group, and the PSQI scores were significantly lower in the combined group, when compared with the other two groups, while the control group had the highest PSQI scores among the three groups. There was no severe side effects and significant difference observed. Conclusion FICB combined with DEX reduced the postoperative pain, improved the sleep condition, and decreased the serum levels of inflammatory factors after total hip arthroplasty.

Lowe MJ, Lightfoot NJ. The prognostic implication of perioperative cardiac enzyme elevation in patients with fractured neck of femur: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Injury 2020; 51:164-173. [PMID: 31879176 DOI: 10.1016/j.injury.2019.12.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2019] [Revised: 11/11/2019] [Accepted: 12/09/2019] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Neck of Femur (NOF) fractures are a common injury in comorbid elderly patients which are associated with increased rates of morbidity and mortality following fracture. Because of their injury, patients can experience reductions in quality of life and independent living leading to transfer to nursing home or dependent levels of care. Numerous factors are associated with either complications or reductions in survival following fractured NOF. From the VISION cohort there is evidence that troponin elevation in the post-operative period following a diverse range of non-cardiac surgical procedures may lead to an increased risk of mortality in the absence of classical ischaemic or cardiac symptoms. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to validate the utility of perioperative troponin elevation as a prognostic indicator for mortality and cardiac morbidity in those with fractured NOF. METHODS The PRISMA guidelines for the conduct of meta-analyses were followed. An electronic search was conducted of the EMBASE, MEDLINE (Ovid) and Biosis databases. Studies were included for analysis if they stratified outcomes by perioperative troponin elevation in surgically managed fractured NOF and reported sufficient data on troponin elevation and mortality following surgery. Primary and secondary outcomes assessed were all-cause post-operative mortality and a composite measure of cardiac complications (myocardial infarction, cardiac failure and arrhythmia) respectively. RESULTS Eleven studies met inclusion criteria giving a total of 1363 patients. Overall, 497 patients (36.5%) experienced an elevation in troponin levels following surgery. Perioperative troponin elevation was significantly associated with all-cause mortality (OR 2.6; 95% CI 1.5 - 4.6; p <0.001) and cardiac complications (OR 7.4; 95% CI 3.5 - 15.8; p <0.001). Patient factors significantly associated with troponin elevation included pre-existing coronary artery disease, cardiac failure, hypertension, previous stroke and previous myocardial infarction. CONCLUSION Perioperative troponin elevation is significantly associated with increased mortality and post-operative cardiac complications following fractured NOF and may be a useful prognostic indicator in these patients. Future research should further stratify patients by the magnitude of troponin elevation and further refine the risk factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate possible differences in morbidity, malnutrition, sarcopenia and specific drug use in patients with hip fracture, ten years apart. To analyse 1-year mortality and possible associations with variables. DESIGN A prospective, observational study. SETTING Örebro University Hospital, Sweden. PARTICIPANTS Two cohorts of patients with hip fracture, included in 2008 (n=78) and 2018 (n=76). MEASUREMENTS Presence of comorbidity according to the Elixhauser comorbidity measure, multimorbidity defined as ≥3 comorbidities, preoperative American Society of Anaesthesiologists Classification (ASA-class), malnutrition according to the definition by the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM), sarcopenia according to the most recently revised definition by the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP), polypharmacy defined as ≥5 prescribed medications, use of Potentially Inappropriate Medications (PIM) and Fall-Risk-Increasing-Drugs (FRID) and postoperative 1-year mortality. RESULTS When comparing the cohorts, significant increases over time was seen for mean comorbidity-count (Difference -1; p=0.002), multimorbidity (Difference -15%; 95%CI -27;-2), ASA-class 3-4 (Difference -25%; 95%CI -39;-9) and polypharmacy (Difference -17%; 95%CI -32;-2). Prevalence of malnutrition and sarcopenia coherently decreased with 22% (95%CI 5;37) and 14% (95%CI 1;29) respectively. One-year mortality remained unchanged and a significant association was found for a higher ASA-class in 2008 (OR 3.5, 95%CI 1.1;11.6) when adjusted for age. Results on PIM exposure suggest a decrease while exposure to FRID remained high. CONCLUSION Our findings support an increasing morbidity within the population over time. However, also presented is a coherent decrease in malnutrition and sarcopenia, suggesting a decrease in frailty as a possible explanation for the observed unaltered mortality, in turn suggesting advances in treatment of comorbidities.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study is to assess the possible association between thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and mortality in hip fracture patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study is based on a hip fracture database from Bispebjerg University Hospital (Copenhagen, Denmark). This database includes all hip fracture patients (ICD-10 codes DS720 (femoral neck), DS721 (pertrochanteric), and DS722 (subtrochanteric)) admitted to Bispebjerg Hospital from 1996 to 2012. From this database, we identified all surgically treated hip fracture patients aged > 60 years with available plasma TSH-measurements at admission. RESULTS Of the 914 included patients (24% men and 76% women), 10.5% died within 30 days. At inclusion, 161 (17.6%) of the patients were hyperthyroid (TSH < 0.65 mIU/L), 58 (6.4%) were hypothyroid (TSH > 4.8 mIU/L), while 695 (76.0%) were euthyroid (0.65 < TSH < 4.80 mIU/L), p = 0.03. Mortality was significantly higher in the two higher quartiles of TSH [Q3 (13.0%) and Q4 (15.4%)] compared to the two lower quartiles [Q1 (7.4%) and Q2 (6.2%), p = 0.0003. After adjustment for age, sex and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) in a Cox proportional hazard model, the risk of 30-day mortality continued to be increased in patients with TSH above the median as compared to patients with TSH below the median (HR 2.1 (1.4-3.3), p = 0.0006]. CONCLUSION The study demonstrates increased 30-day mortality in surgically treated hip fracture patients with plasma TSH levels above the median (1.41 mIU/L) at admission, even after adjusting for age, sex and CCI.

Knee-Hip-Spine Syndrome: Improvement in Preoperative Abnormal Posture following Total Knee Arthroplasty. Adv Orthop 2019; 2019:8484938.

Abstract
An ergonomic upright body posture is maintained by the alignment of the spine, pelvis, and lower extremities, and the muscle strength of body trunk and lower extremities. The posture varies with age because of the degenerative changes in the involved structures and the weakening of the muscles. The compensatory mechanisms underlying these changes have recently been evaluated, and the loss of lumbar lordosis results in spinal kyphosis, pelvic retroversion, hip extension, knee flexion, and ankle dorsiflexion. These mechanisms are referred to as the hip–spine and knee–spine syndromes. The spine, hip, and knee are anatomically connected, and the pain and discomfort of the lower back, hip, and knee frequently arise due to degenerative changes of these structures. Thus, these mechanisms are considered as the knee–hip–spine syndrome. Spinal fusion, total hip arthroplasty, and total knee arthroplasty are the surgical procedures for severe degeneration, and their clinical outcomes for the affected sites are promising. However, despite surgeries, other structures may degenerate and result in complications, such as proximal junctional kyphosis and hip dislocation, following spinal fusion. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate each patient under specific conditions and to treat each section while considering associations between the target structure and entire body. The purpose of this article is to introduce postural maintenance, variations with age, and improvements with surgical interventions of spine, hip, and knee as the knee–hip–spine syndrome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE to test the hypothesis that excess mortality conferred by diabetes following hip fracture decreases with advancing age. METHODS a nationwide population-based cohort study including 154,047 patients who were admitted with a hip fracture in Denmark from 1996 to 2012. Information on hip fracture diagnosis, diabetes, other comorbidities, and the primary outcome all-cause mortality was collected using the national Danish health registries. The association between diabetes and all-cause mortality according to age was assessed using Cox proportional hazards regression in the age categories: <50, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, 80-89 and ≥90 years. RESULTS during a median follow-up of 3 years (interquartile range: 1-6 years, 603,091 person-years) 114,990 died from any cause. In total, 8% (n = 12,158) of the patients had diabetes at baseline and had unadjusted, and age, sex and Charlson Comorbidity Index adjusted hazard ratios for all-cause mortality of 1.19 (95% confidence interval: 1.16-1.21) and 1.14 (1.12-1.17) as compared to patients without diabetes. The sex and Charlson Comorbidity Index adjusted hazard ratios according to age were 1.64 (1.34-2.02) for patients <50 years, 1.26 (1.12-1.40) for patients 50-59 years, 1.21 (1.13-1.29) for patients 60-69 years, 1.11 (1.07-1.16) for patients 70-79 years, 1.10 (1.07-1.14) for patients 80-89 years and 1.09 (1.02-1.16) for patients ≥90 years. There was a statistically significant interaction between diabetes and age (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS diabetes is associated with excess mortality following hip fracture across all ages, but the excess mortality decreases with advancing age.

Abstract
Objectives Osteoporotic hip fractures are associated with high mortality in the older population. Few population studies have reported the long-term trends of incidence and mortality rate of hip fracture among the older in Korea. This study assessed the incidence and mortality rate within 1 year after hip fracture from 2006 to 2015 in South Korea. Methods The National Health Information Database was used to identify adults aged 60 years and older with a diagnosis of hip fracture and died within 1 year from hip fracture. Regression analyses were performed to estimate the change of the incidence of hip fracture and the related mortality rate. Results The events causing hip fracture increased 1.85 times (1.91 times in women and 1.71 times in men), and the incidence of hip fracture increased 1.23 times (1.30 times in women and 1.11 times in men) from 2006 to 2015. The mortality rate after hip fracture decreased by 10% in women; however, it increased by 13% in men. These trends were more prominent in the older population. Conclusions Although the mortality rate after hip fracture in women decreased, other parameters associated with hip fracture have worsened during the last decade. Nationwide programs were urgently needed to reduce the future socioeconomic burdens of hip fractures.

Abstract
Background and purpose - There are no national guidelines for treatment of hip fractures in Estonia and no studies on management. We assessed treatment methods and mortality rates for hip fracture patients in Estonia. Patients and methods - We studied a population-based retrospective cohort using validated data from the Estonian Health Insurance Fund's database. The cohort included patients aged 50 and over with an index hip fracture diagnosis between January 1, 2009 and September 30, 2017. The study generated descriptive statistics of hip fracture management methods and calculated in-hospital, 1-, 3, 6-, and 12-month unadjusted all-cause mortality rates. [CrossRef] Results - 91% (number of hips: 11,628/12,731) of the original data were included after data validation. Median patient age was 81 years, 83 years for women and 74 years for men. 28% were men. Treatment methods were: total hip arthroplasty 7%; hemiarthroplasty 25%; screws 6%; sliding hip screw 25%; intramedullary nail 27%; and nonoperative management 10%. Unadjusted all-cause mortality rates for in-hospital, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months were: 3%, 9%, 18%, 24%, and 31% respectively. The 12-month mortality rate for nonoperative management was 58%. [CrossRef] Interpretation - High rates of nonoperative management and overall high 1-year mortality rates after an index hip fracture indicate the need to review exclusion criteria for surgery and subacute care in Estonia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip fractures are a common problem in the ageing population. Hip arthroplasty is the common treatment option for displaced intracapsular neck of femur fractures. Even though hip replacements are successful in restoring mobility, reducing pain and diminishing loss of health-related quality of life, the potential impact of a hip fracture on life expectancy as well as the postoperative mortality need consideration. The purpose of this study was to describe the mid-term relative survival rate for a cohort of Swedish patients whom underwent total- or hemiarthroplasty surgery following hip fracture. We also explored whether the survival rate is prosthesis-type specific and influenced by comorbidities, sex, socioeconomic and surgical factors. METHODS Using prospectively collected information of the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register-linked database we identified 43,891 patients operated between 2005 and 2012. Patient- and surgery-specific data in combination with socio-economic data were available for this analysis. We studied relative survival rate and used multivariable modelling with Cox Proportional Hazards Model in Transformed Time. RESULTS Compared to the Swedish general population the baseline excess hazard was very high in the first half year after the operation, thereafter the excess hazard decreased but remained non-negligible through the 8 years' follow-up period. The mortality rate of males was higher compared to women. Higher Elixhauser comorbidity index (ECI) was associated with worsening survival. However, patients who had ECI = 0 had higher mortality than patients with ECI =1 the first 420 days post fracture. Patients with a hemiarthroplasty had a worse survival than patients with a total hip arthroplasty. Of the hospital types considered university hospitals had lower survival rate. Younger patients had a greater loss of expected life span than patients who suffer hip fracture in their more advanced ages. CONCLUSIONS Swedish hip fracture patients who undergo arthroplasty surgery had a high excess hazard of dying in the first half year following surgery, and this excess hazard never subsided to negligible levels at least up to 8 years after surgery. Interestingly having no prior record of illnesses worsened the initial mortality. Men living alone had the highest long-term excess mortality.

Abstract
Objective This study was designed to verify the association between dementia and mortality in the elderly undergoing hip fracture surgery, and assessed the mortality of patients with dementia after hip fracture surgery. Material and methods PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were searched until April, 2018 without language restrictions. Two reviewers selected related studies, assessed study quality, and extracted data independently. Risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were derived using random-effects model throughout all analyses. The endpoints included 30-day, 6-month, 1-year, and more than 1-year mortality. This meta-analysis was performed following PRISMA statement and carried out by using stata14.0 software. Results Dementia significantly increased postoperative mortality of patients suffered from hip fracture in 30-day [RR = 1.57, 95% CI (1.29, 1.90), P<0.00], 6-month [RR = 1.97, 95% CI (1.47, 2.63), P<0.00], 1-year [RR = 1.77, 95% CI (1.54, 2.04), P<0.00], and more than 1-year follow up [RR = 1.60, 95% CI (1.30, 1.96), P<0.00] respectively. The mortality of dementia patients after hip fracture surgery in 30-day [ES = 12%, 95% CI (8%, 15%)], 6-month [ES = 32%, 95% CI (17%, 48%)], 1-year [ES = 39%, 95% CI (35%, 43%)], and more than 1-year follow up [ES = 45%, 95% CI (32%, 58%)]. Conclusions Our meta-analysis demonstrated that the mortality of patients with dementia suffered from hip fracture surgery is 12%, 32%, 39%, and 45%, and dementia increased 1.57, 1.97, 1.77, and 1.60-fold mortality in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery in 30-day, 6-month, 1-year, and more than 1-year follow up respectively.
