Abstract
Objective: This research evaluates from a usability point of view the combination of a developed fully immersive virtual reality (VR) solution with the SWalker robotic device. It aims to contribute to research in the exploration of immersive experiences overground with a functional gait recovery device. Materials and Methods: We evaluated the system in a pilot study with 20 healthy participants aged 85.1 (SD: 6.29). Participants used the SWalker-VR platform while testing one VR application focused on walking and the other on balance practice. Afterward, the participants answered three usability questionnaires. Results: The platform was validated in terms of safety using the Simulator Sickness Questionnaire, obtaining less than 20 points for all subscales: nausea (4.29 ± 14.47), oculomotor (0.38 ± 14.18), and disorientation (1.39 ± 14.52). For usability evaluation, the System Usability Scale provided an overall score of 70.63 ± 11.64, and the Post-Study System Usability Questionnaire (PSSUQ) rated 1.61 ± 0.54. The usability scores reported by both questionnaires were moderate and good, respectively. These results were similar in overall scores for both groups: participants with low cognitive level and participants with high cognitive level. Finally, the possible causes for the "no answered" responses on the PSSUQ were discussed. Conclusion: It is concluded that the SWalker-VR platform is reported to have adequate usability and high security by older adults. The potential interest of studying the effects of the long-term use of this platform by older adults with gait impairment is expressed. Clinical Trials reference: NCT06025981.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip fractures are most likely to occur in older people, and after hip surgery muscle mass and the ability to perform activities of daily living often decline. In this study, we conducted inpatient rehabilitation after surgery for hip fracture and measured changes in muscle mass and physical performance. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed patients aged 65 years or older who underwent surgery (prosthetic replacement or internal fixation) and inpatient rehabilitation for hip fracture at our hospital between August and December 2020. The training included a joint range of motion exercise, muscle-strengthening exercise, gait training, early mobilization training, and neuromuscular electrical stimulation. We measured the following factors after one and six weeks postoperatively: muscle mass, body weight, fat mass, grip strength, bilateral knee extension strength, ability to walk, and ability to perform activities of daily living. RESULTS Seventeen patients were included. Median age was 84 years (interquartile range, 72-90). Lower limbs skeletal muscle mass increased (median 4.8 kg to 4.9 kg, p = 0.045), while upper limbs skeletal muscle mass and body weight decreased (median 1.2 kg to 1.1 kg, p = 0.0027), (median 46.8 kg to 45.5 kg, p = 0.0039), respectively. Total skeletal muscle mass and fat mass remained unchanged. Grip strength was maintained, and knee extension muscle strength on the healthy and affected sides increased (healthy side median 10.7 kgf to 13.7 kgf, p = 0.019; affected side median 5.5 kgf to 9.5 kgf, p < 0.001). All patients exhibited improved ability to perform activities of daily living; however, 52.9% of patients regained their pre-injury walking ability. CONCLUSIONS Our rehabilitation program increased lower limb skeletal muscle mass in patients with hip fractures.

Front Surg 2024; 11:1367457. [PMID: 38525320 PMCID: PMC10957751 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2024.1367457] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction The number of patients with hip fractures continues to rise as the average age of the population increases. Optimizing outcomes in this cohort is predicated on timely operative repair. The aim of this study was to determine if patients with hip fractures who are frail or have a higher cardiac risk suffer from an increased risk of in-hospital mortality when surgery is postponed >24 h. Methods All patients registered in the 2013-2021 TQIP dataset who were ≥65 years old and underwent surgical fixation of an isolated hip fracture caused by a ground-level fall were included. Adjustment for confounding was performed using inverse probability weighting (IPW) while stratifying for frailty with the Orthopedic Frailty Score (OFS) and cardiac risk using the Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI). The outcome was presented as the absolute risk difference in in-hospital mortality. Results A total of 254,400 patients were included. After IPW, all confounders were balanced. A delay in surgery was associated with an increased risk of in-hospital mortality across all strata, and, as the degree of frailty and cardiac risk increased, so too did the risk of mortality. In patients with OFS ≥4, delaying surgery >24 h was associated with a 2.33 percentage point increase in the absolute mortality rate (95% CI: 0.57-4.09, p = 0.010), resulting in a number needed to harm (NNH) of 43. Furthermore, the absolute risk of mortality increased by 4.65 percentage points in patients with RCRI ≥4 who had their surgery delayed >24 h (95% CI: 0.90-8.40, p = 0.015), resulting in a NNH of 22. For patients with OFS 0 and RCRI 0, the corresponding NNHs when delaying surgery >24 h were 345 and 333, respectively. Conclusion Delaying surgery beyond 24 h from admission increases the risk of mortality for all geriatric hip fracture patients. The magnitude of the negative impact increases with the patient's level of cardiac risk and frailty. Operative intervention should not be delayed based on frailty or cardiac risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phase angle, which is associated with cellular health, has attracted attention as a noninvasive and objective method for nutritional assessment. However, the association between malnutrition and phase angle in older inpatients with hip fractures has not been reported. Therefore, this study investigated this association in older inpatients (aged ≥65 years) with hip fractures and determined the cutoff phase angle for determining malnutrition. METHODS This cross-sectional study retrospectively analyzed the data of 96 inpatients with hip fractures who were hospitalized in rehabilitation units after surgery (male, 29.4%; mean age, 82.4±6.2 years). Nutritional status was assessed using the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), with malnutrition defined as a GNRI ≥98. Bioelectrical impedance analysis was used to measure phase angles. RESULTS The phase angle was associated with malnutrition (B=-1.173; odds ratio=0.310; 95% confidence interval 0.58-0.83; p=0.015). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.71. The cutoff phase angle for malnutrition was 3.96° (sensitivity=0.85, specificity=0.63). CONCLUSION Phase angle could be an indicator of malnutrition in older inpatients with hip fractures. Our findings will help formulate rehabilitation strategies for these patients.

Effect of operative time in outcomes following surgical fixation of hip fractures: a multivariable regression analysis of 35,710 patients. Hip Int 2024; 34:270-280.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prolonged operative time is a risk factor for increased morbidity and mortality after open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of hip fractures. However, the quantitative nature of such association, including graduated risk levels, has yet to be described. This study outlines the graduated associations between operative time and (1) healthcare utilisation, and (2) 30-day complications after ORIF of hip fractures. METHODS The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database was queried (January 2016-December 2019) for all patients who underwent ORIF of hip fractures (n = 35,710). Demographics, operative time, fracture type, and comorbidities were recorded. Outcomes included healthcare utilisation (e.g., prolonged length of stay [LOS>2 days], discharge disposition, 30-day readmission, and reoperation), inability to weight-bear (ITWB) on postoperative day-1 (POD-1), and any 30-day complication. Adjusted multivariate regression models evaluated associations between operative time and measured outcomes. RESULTS Operative time <40 minutes was associated with lower odds of prolonged LOS (odds ratio [OR] 0.77), non-home discharge (OR 0.85), 30-day readmission (OR 0.85), and reoperation (OR 0.72). Operative time ⩾80 minutes was associated with higher odds of ITWB on POD-1 (OR 1.17). Operative time ⩾200 minutes was associated with higher odds of deep infection (OR 7.5) and wound complications (OR 3.2). The odds of blood transfusions were higher in cases ⩾60 minutes (OR1.3) and 5-fold in cases ⩾200 minutes (OR 5.4). The odds of venous thromboembolic complications were highest in the ⩾200-minute operative time category (OR 2.5). Operative time was not associated with mechanical ventilation, pneumonia, delirium, sepsis, urinary tract infection, or 30-day mortality. DISCUSSION Increasing operative time is associated with a progressive increase in the odds of adverse outcomes following hip fracture ORIF. While a direct cause-effect relationship cannot be established, an operative time of <60 minutes could be protective. Perioperative interventions that shorten operative time without compromising fracture reduction or fixation should be considered.

Abstract
Objective To implement and evaluate a Frailty Care Bundle (FCB) targeting mobilisation, nutrition, and cognition in older trauma patients to reduce hospital associated decline. Methods We used a two group, pretest-posttest design. The FCB intervention was delivered on two orthopaedic wards and two rehabilitation wards, guided by behaviour change theory (COM-B) to implement changes in ward routines (patient mobility goals, nurse assisted mobilisation, mealtimes, communication). Primary outcomes were patient participants' return to pre-trauma functional capability (modified Barthel Index - mBI) at 6-8 weeks post-hospital discharge and average hospital daily step-count. Statistical analysis compared pre versus post FCB group differences using ordinal regression and log-linear models. Results We recruited 120 patients (pre n=60 and post n=60), and 74 (pre n=43, post n=36) were retained at follow-up. Median age was 78 years and 83% were female. There was a non-significant trend for higher mBI scores (improved function) in the post compared to pre FCB group (OR 2.29, 95% CI 0.98-5.36), associated with an average 11% increase in step-count. Conclusion It was feasible, during the Covid-19 pandemic, for multidisciplinary teams to implement elements of the FCB. Clinical facilitation supported teams to prioritise fundamental care above competing demands, but sustainability requires ongoing attention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study analyzes the effect of frailty and Post-Operative Delirium (POD) on the functional status at hospital discharge and at 4-month follow-up in patients with hip fracture (HF). METHODS Multicenter prospective observational study of older patients with HF admitted to 12 Italian Orthogeriatric centers (July 2019-August 2022). POD was assessed using the 4AT. A 26-item Frailty Index (FI) was created using data collected on admission. The outcome measures were Cumulated Ambulation Score (CAS) ≤ 2 at discharge and a telephone-administered CAS ≤ 2 after 4 months. Poisson regression models were used to assess the effect of frailty and POD on outcomes. RESULTS 984 patients (median age 84 years, IQR = 79-89) were recruited: 480 (48.7%) were frail at admission, 311 (31.6%) developed POD, and 158 (15.6%) had both frailty and POD. In a robust Poisson regression, frailty alone (Relative Risk, RR = 1.56, 95% Confidence Intervals, CI 1.19-2.04, p = 0.001) and its combination with POD (RR = 2.57, 95% CI 2.02-3.26, p < 0.001) were associated with poor functional status at discharge. At 4-month follow-up, the combination of frailty with POD (RR 3.65, 95% CI 1.85-7.2, p < 0.001) increased the risk of poor outcome more than frailty alone (RR 2.38, 95% CI 1.21-4.66, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS POD development exacerbates the negative effect that frailty exerts on functional outcomes in HF patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND hip fractures commonly have an impact on older adults' health. Surgical treatment aims to reduce pain and promote functional ability. However, developing adverse health outcomes or complications post-hip surgery may impede older patients' recovery to return to functional ability as pre-fracture. We aimed to examine the association of personal factors and adverse health outcomes during hospitalization and post-hospital discharge on the functional ability of older people undergoing hip surgery. METHODS a total of 120 older people with hip fractures who were scheduled for surgery at three tertiary hospitals and met the inclusion criteria were recruited for this study. Data were obtained at admission, before discharge, and during the two-week postoperative follow-up using the Demographic, Hip Dysfunction and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, Joint Replacement, the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) Thai version, and Health Outcome Questionnaires. Descriptive statistics and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to analyze the data. RESULTS most participants were female, with a mean age of 78.10 years (range = 60-93; SD = 8.37). The most common adverse health outcome during hospitalization was urinary tract infection, followed by delirium, pneumonia, deep vein thrombosis, and surgical site infection. At two weeks immediately post-hospital discharge, 16 participants experienced unpleasant events, including delirium, urinary tract infection, surgical site infection, and pneumonia. The significant predictors of poor functional ability at two weeks immediately post-hospital discharge were old age (OR = 1.114, p = 0.001), subtrochanteric fracture (OR = 13.48, p = 0.008), and type of surgery (OR = 4.105, p = 0.049).

Abstract
Objectives Little attention has been paid to the relationship between balance function and bathing independence. This research aimed to determine the degree of balance function needed by patients with stroke and patients with hip fracture (hereinafter referred to as patients with stroke and hip fracture) to bathe independently. Methods Retrospective data analysis was performed on 59 patients with hip fracture and 201 patients with stroke. Logistic regression was performed to determine whether bathing independence was associated with the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) in patients with stroke and hip fracture. A receiver operating characteristic curve was generated to calculate cutoff values. Results The BBS was significantly associated with bathing independence in patients with stroke and hip fracture. The calculated BBS cutoff value was 48 points for those with stroke (sensitivity, 84.7%; specificity, 79.1%) and 43 points for those with hip fracture (sensitivity, 81.3%; specificity, 77.8%). Conclusions Balance function was independently associated with bathing independence. The level of balance function required for bathing independence may be lower for patients with hip fracture than for those with stroke. This could be a simple and useful indicator for rehabilitation professionals to interpret BBS results when conducting bathing interventions.

Abstract
To determine the predictors of functional outcomes and quality of life (QoL) of patients who were surgically treated for fragility hip fracture. This was a retrospective cohort study performed in the 3 tertiary rehabilitation facilities. A total of 165 patients who had undergone surgery for fragility hip fracture were followed up to 6 months postoperatively. The factors expected to be related to the functional outcomes and QoL at 6 months post-surgery were as follows: baseline demographics, fracture site, operation type, fall characteristics including fall location and fall direction, comorbidities, and initial functional status. The following were comorbidities: hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dementia, cerebrovascular accident, and osteoporosis. Functional outcome and QoL measures were represented using the Koval grade, functional ambulatory category (FAC), Berg balance scale, 4-m walking speed test, the Korean version of Mini-Mental State Examination, EuroQol 5-dimension (EQ-5D) questionnaire, the Korean version of Modified Barthel Index, and the Korean version of instrumental activities of daily living (K-IADL). For all tests, each patient was assessed immediately after transfer and at 6 months post-surgery. Multivariable regression analyses adjusting for factors mentioned above were as follows. Old age led to a significantly less favorable outcome on FAC and K-IADL at 6 months. Intertrochanteric fracture had a significantly positive impact on Koval at 6 months compared to femur neck and intertrochanteric fractures. Total hip replacement arthroplasty and bipolar hemiarthroplasty had a significantly positive impact on EQ-5D and FAC at 6 months respectively compared to other operation types. Fall characteristics didn't reveal any significant impact on functional outcomes and QoL. Patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus had a significantly negative outcome on EQ-5D and K-IADL respectively. Among initial assessments of function and QoL, initial 4-m walking speed test, Korean version of Mini-Mental State Examination, K-IADL, and Korean version of Modified Barthel Index were independent predictors of function and QoL at 6 months. This study confirmed that age, fracture site, operation type, comorbidities, and initial physical and cognitive function significantly influenced recovery of function and QoL at 6 months in patients with fragility hip fractures.

Abstract
Postoperative delirium (POD) is a frequent complication in geriatric patients with hip fractures, which is linked to poorer functional recovery, longer hospital stays, and higher short-and long-term mortality. Patients with increased age, preoperative cognitive impairment, comorbidities, perioperative polypharmacy, and delayed surgery are more prone to develop POD after hip fracture surgery. In this narrative review, we outlined the latest findings on postoperative delirium in geriatric patients with hip fractures, focusing on its pathophysiology, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. Perioperative risk prediction, avoidance of certain medications, and orthogeriatric comprehensive care are all examples of effective interventions. Choices of anesthesia technique may not be associated with a significant difference in the incidence of postoperative delirium in geriatric patients with hip fractures. There are few pharmaceutical measures available for POD treatment. Dexmedetomidine and multimodal analgesia may be effective for managing postoperative delirium, and adverse complications should be considered when using antipsychotics. In conclusion, perioperative risk intervention based on orthogeriatric comprehensive care is the most effective strategy for preventing postoperative delirium in geriatric patients with hip fractures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cognitive impairment assessed by easy-to-administer tests successfully predicts function after hip fracture, whereas the prognostic role of additional cognitive evaluations is largely unknown. AIMS To investigate the capability of further assessments to discriminate cognitive impairment with prognostic relevance in hip-fracture women defined cognitively intact or mildly impaired on the Short Portable Mental Status Questionnaire (SPMSQ). METHODS We prospectively investigated women with subacute hip fracture admitted to our rehabilitation facility. The women who made ≤4 errors on the SPMSQ were further assessed by 4 tests: Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (immediate and delayed recall) and Frontal Assessment Battery. Activities of daily living (ADL) were measured by the Barthel index. Successful rehabilitation was defined with a Barthel index score ≥85. RESULTS Data from 127 women were available. Each of the 4 cognitive tests assessed at admission significantly predicted the Barthel index scores measured at discharge. The predictive role persisted after multiple adjustments. For a change in cognitive scores corresponding to the difference between 25° and 75° percentiles in their distribution in the sample, the adjusted odds ratio to achieve successful rehabilitation roughly ranged from 2 to 4, depending on which cognitive test was adopted. DISCUSSION The women with subacute hip fracture defined cognitively intact or mildly impaired on the SPMSQ could have cognitive impairment revealed by further examination, with prognostic disadvantages in ADL. CONCLUSIONS Assessing cognition by the SPMSQ seems not enough to exclude the presence of cognitive impairment with relevant prognostic disadvantage in hip-fracture women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical management of geriatric hip fractures yields improved functional outcomes with decreased morbidity and mortality. Cohort studies have suggested that the older patients within the geriatric age group have worse outcomes with surgery, However, these studies inherently report inflated risks due to poor handling of confounders and have inadequately age-stratified their geriatric population. AIM This study aims to investigate the effect of age alone on the 1-year mortality and functional status of geriatric patients after hip fracture surgery. METHODS This is a retrospective single institution cohort study based on the prospectively-maintained registry of hip fracture patients. 2603 patients aged 60 years and above were treated surgically under a geriatric-orthopaedic hip fracture pathway from January 2014 to December 2018. Patients were split into two age groups: ultra-old (≥ 85 years) vs old (< 85 years). Baseline demographics and the ASA (American Society of Anaesthesiologists) status and the Modified Barthel's Index (MBI) were obtained at admission and 1 year after the fracture. Adverse outcomes from the fracture and surgery were recorded during a follow-up period of minimally 2 years. A 2:1 matching process based on the gender, fracture type, ASA status, CCI and MBI categories was conducted. RESULTS There were 1009 and 515 patients in the old and ultra-old age groups, respectively. 1-year mortality was similar for both age groups (4.0% ultra-old vs 3.6% old, p = 0.703). 30-day morbidity was similar except for higher rates of postoperative pneumonia in the ultra-old (14.0 vs 6.3%, p < 0.001). MBI scores at 1-year were lower in the ultra-old (severe dependence: 16.4 vs 10.0%; p = 0.001). Ultra-old patients were less likely to be community ambulant at 12 months (21.2 vs 36.0%) with the deterioration in ambulatory status significant after correction for baseline status (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The 1-year mortality of surgically-managed geriatric hip fracture patients older than 85 years of age is not determined by age alone. Patients aged 85 years and above are at higher risk for pneumonia postoperatively. Ultra-old hip fracture patients with an intertrochanteric fracture are more likely to have poorer function at 1 year after hip fracture surgery.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Hip fractures are a serious public health issue with major consequences, especially for frail community dwellers. This study found a poor prognosis at 6 months post-trauma with regard to life expectancy and rehabilitation to pre-fracture independency levels. It should be realized that recovery to pre-trauma functioning is not a certainty for frail community-dwelling patients. INTRODUCTION Proximal femoral fractures are a serious public health issue in the older patient. Although a significant rise in frail community-dwelling elderly is expected because of progressive aging, a clear overview of the outcomes in these patients sustaining a proximal femoral fracture is lacking. This study assessed the prognosis of frail community-dwelling patients who sustained a proximal femoral fracture. METHODS A multicenter retrospective cohort study was performed on frail community-dwelling patients with a proximal femoral fracture who aged over 70 years. Patients were considered frail if they were classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists score ≥ 4 and/or a BMI < 18.5 kg/m2 and/or Functional Ambulation Category ≤ 2 pre-trauma. The primary outcome was 6-month mortality. Secondary outcomes were adverse events, health care consumption, rate of institutionalization, and functional recovery. RESULTS A total of 140 out of 2045 patients matched the inclusion criteria with a median age of 85 (P25-P75 80-89) years. The 6-month mortality was 58 out of 140 patients (41%). A total of 102 (73%) patients experienced adverse events. At 6 months post-trauma, 29 out of 120 (24%) were readmitted to the hospital. Out of the 82 surviving patients after 6 months, 41 (50%) were unable the return to their home, and only 32 (39%) were able to achieve outdoor ambulation. CONCLUSION Frail community-dwelling older patients with a proximal femoral fracture have a high risk of death, adverse events, and institutionalization and often do not reobtain their pre-trauma level of independence. Foremost, the results can be used for realistic expectation management.

HEALTH & SOCIAL CARE IN THE COMMUNITY 2022; 30:e727-e738. [PMID: 34032333 DOI: 10.1111/hsc.13443] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2020] [Revised: 03/24/2021] [Accepted: 04/13/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
We investigate the importance of adult children and/or cohabitation with a partner for older hip fracture patients' probability of independent living, public home care use and hospital readmission. Data from 35,066 Swedish hip fracture patients between 2012 and 2017, aged 65 years, and living at home at the time of the fracture in the Swedish Registry for Hip Fracture Patients and Treatment were linked with national registers. We applied adjusted logistic regression models and Cox proportional hazard models. In total, 959 (4.0%) women and 817 (7.3%) men had no adult children, 13,384 (56.0%) women and 3,623 (32.5%) men had no cohabiting partner and 2,780 (11.6%) women and 1,389 (12.5%) men neither had a cohabiting partner nor adult children. In comparison with women and men who had both a cohabiting partner and adult children, those without a cohabiting partner (i.e. only adult children) and those who neither had a cohabiting partner nor adult children had significantly lower probabilities of returning home (at discharge and after 4 months). They also had a greater probability of both receiving home care and having an increase in the amount of home care they receive. Having a close next of kin and hospital readmission were not associated. In conclusion, absence of a close next of kin, specifically a cohabiting partner, reduces the chance of return to independent living and increases the use of home care after a hip fracture hospitalisation. The findings highlight the importance of family support for older adults living situation after a hip fracture.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The long-term risk of cardiovascular events caused by chronic kidney disease (CKD) is well described in the general population. Less is known concerning the risk of postoperative cardiovascular events in geriatric hip fracture patients with CKD. METHODS This study involved patients at least 65 years of age who received surgery for acute hip fracture between January 2000 and April 2016. We identified CKD patients with a baseline diagnosis of CKD or an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 at admission. Each CKD patient was matched, for age, gender, fracture type, and year of admission, with 4 control non-CKD patients. The primary endpoint was a compositepostoperative cardiovascular events, including pulmonary embolism, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, heart failure, arrhythmia, stroke, and death. Conditional logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between CKD and the outcome after adjusting for potential confounders including age, gender, fracture type, body mass index, preexisting comorbidities, history of cardiovascular events, and the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). RESULTS Three hundred and seventy-five CKD patients were matched with 1,438 non-CKD patients. The mean age of the CKD patients was 81.9 ± 7.0 (mean ± SD), 69.9% were females, and 59.2% had an intertrochanteric fracture. Compared to non-CKD patients, CKD patients had a higher proportion of preexisting comorbidities, including hypertension, coronary heart disease, heart failure, and type 2 diabetes (all p < 0.05). The risk of postoperative cardiovascular events was 125.3 per 1000 persons (95%CI, 91.8-158.8) in CKD patients and 64.7 per 1000 persons (95%CI, 52.0-77.4) in non-CKD patients. A 1.96-fold risk of cardiovascular events after hip fracture surgery was found in CKD patients than those without CKD (adjusted OR, 1.96; 95%CI, 1.23-3.12). CONCLUSION Patients with CKD were more likely to have cardiovascular events after hip fracture surgery than those without CKD. Appropriate preoperative cardiovascular risk assessment and corresponding preventive and therapeutic measures should be given to this vulnerable population to mitigate such complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of frailty, alone and in combination with post-operative delirium (POD), on the risk of poor function at discharge in patients with hip fracture (HF). METHODS This is a prospective cohort study of patients with HF admitted to an Orthogeriatric Unit (OGU) between October 1, 2011 and March 15, 2019. POD was assessed using the 4AT and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) 5-edition criteria. A 22-items Frailty Index (FI) was created using the data collected on admission. The outcome measure was the Cumulated Ambulation Score (CAS) score at discharge. A log-binomial regression model was used to assess the effect of frailty and POD on CAS. RESULTS A total of 988 patients (median age = 84.9 years, Interquartile range = 80.6-89.2) were included: 360 patients (36.4%) were frail and 411 (42%) developed POD. Poor functional status at discharge (CAS score ≤2) was more common in frail than non-frail patients (68.3% vs. 53.8%, p < 0.001) In a regression adjusted for confounders, frailty alone (Relative Risk, RR = 1.33, 95% Confidence Intervals, CI = 1.14-1.55) and POD alone (RR 1.38, 95% CI = 1.2-1.59) were associated with poor functional status at discharge; when combined, frailty and POD had an interaction, yielding a mild increase in the risk of poor outcome (RR 1.47, 95% CI = 1.28-1.69). CONCLUSIONS In older patients undergoing HF surgery, frailty, POD and their combination, are associated with poor functional status at discharge.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Implementing cognitive assessment in older people admitted to hospital with hip fracture - lying in bed, experiencing pain - is challenging. We investigated the value of a quick and easy-to-administer 10-point cognitive screener (10-CS) in predicting 1-year functional recovery and survival after hip surgery. METHODS Prospective cohort study comprising 304 older patients (mean age=80.3±9.1 years; women=72%) with hip fracture consecutively admitted to a specialized academic medical center that supports secondary hospitals in Sao Paulo Metropolitan Area, Brazil. The 10-CS, a 2-minute bedside tool including temporal orientation, verbal fluency, and three-word recall, classified patients as having normal cognition, possible cognitive impairment, or probable cognitive impairment on admission. Outcomes were time-to-recovery activities of daily living (ADLs; Katz index) and mobility (New Mobility Score), and survival during 1-year after hip surgery. Hazard models, considering death as a competing risk, were used to associate the 10-CS categories with outcomes after adjusting for sociodemographic and clinical measures. RESULTS On admission, 144 (47%) patients had probable cognitive impairment. Compared to those cognitively normal, patients with probable cognitive impairment presented less postsurgical recovery of ADLs (77% vs. 40%; adjusted sub-hazard ratio [HR]=0.44; 95%CI=0.32-0.62) and mobility (50% vs. 30%; adjusted sub-HR=0.52; 95%CI=0.34-0.79), and higher risk of death (15% vs. 40%; adjusted HR=2.08; 95%CI=1.03-4.20) over 1-year follow-up. CONCLUSIONS The 10-CS is a strong predictor of functional recovery and survival after hip fracture repair. Cognitive assessment using quick and easy-to-administer screening tools like 10-CS can help clinicians make better decisions and offer tailored care for older patients admitted with hip fracture.

Predictive Model of Gait Recovery at One Month after Hip Fracture from a National Cohort of 25,607 Patients: The Hip Fracture Prognosis (HF-Prognosis) Tool. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18073809. [PMID: 33917348 PMCID: PMC8038738 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18073809] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2021] [Revised: 03/25/2021] [Accepted: 03/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop a predictive model of gait recovery after hip fracture. Data was obtained from a sample of 25,607 patients included in the Spanish National Hip Fracture Registry from 2017 to 2019. The primary outcome was recovery of the baseline level of ambulatory capacity. A logistic regression model was developed using 40% of the sample and the model was validated in the remaining 60% of the sample. The predictors introduced in the model were: age, prefracture gait independence, cognitive impairment, anesthetic risk, fracture type, operative delay, early postoperative mobilization, weight bearing, presence of pressure ulcers and destination at discharge. Five groups of patients or clusters were identified by their predicted probability of recovery, including the most common features of each. A probability threshold of 0.706 in the training set led to an accuracy of the model of 0.64 in the validation set. We present an acceptably accurate predictive model of gait recovery after hip fracture based on the patients’ individual characteristics. This model could aid clinicians to better target programs and interventions in this population.

Prognostic performance of clinical assessment tools following hip fracture in patients with chronic kidney disease. Int Urol Nephrol 2021; 53:2359-2367. [PMID: 33686533 PMCID: PMC7939449 DOI: 10.1007/s11255-021-02798-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2020] [Accepted: 02/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
Purpose People living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at a higher risk of hip fracture with an associated increased mortality risk compared to individuals without CKD. Our study aimed to evaluate the clinical assessment tools that best predict mortality risk following hip fracture for patients with CKD. Methods Patients with CKD G3b-5D admitted to Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, U.K. between June 2013 and Dec 2019 were included. The association between CKD and post-fracture mortality risk was evaluated. All patients were assessed using tools that evaluated frailty status, co-morbidity, pre-operative risk, functional status and cardiopulmonary fitness. Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were performed to determine the prognostic accuracy of the assessment tools for 30 day and 1 year mortality following hip fracture in patients with CKD. Results 397 patients fulfilled inclusion criteria with a mean age of 83.5 ± 9.2 years. Older age, female sex, intracapsular fracture and more severe CKD, co-morbidity and frailty status were all associated with an increased mortality risk. Patients with dialysis-dependent CKD and severe/very severe frailty had a hazard ratio for mortality of 2.55 (95% Cl 2.11–2.98) and 3.11 (95% Cl 2.47–3.93), respectively. The Clinical Frailty Scale demonstrated the best prognostic accuracy for both 30 day [Area Under the Curve (AUC) 0.91, 95% Cl 0.84–0.97] and 1 year mortality (AUC 0.93, 95% Cl 0.87–1.00). Conclusion Patients with advanced CKD and severe frailty have a high mortality risk following hip fracture. The Clinical Frailty Scale is an excellent prognostic tool for mortality in this setting and could be easily incorporated into routine clinical practice.

Neurocognitive measures predict voluntary stepping performance in older adults post-hip fracture. Clin Biomech (Bristol, Avon) 2021; 81:105234. [PMID: 33213932 PMCID: PMC8183182 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinbiomech.2020.105234] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2020] [Revised: 09/29/2020] [Accepted: 11/09/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip fracture is a debilitating injury, especially in older adults. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships between Trail-Making test performance and parameters of the choice stepping reaction time test in community-dwelling older adults after hip fracture. METHODS Twenty-four older adults post-hip fracture repair participated in an ancillary study for physical therapy interventions. Measures included Trail-Making test (Parts A & B) scores, movement time (time from foot liftoff to touchdown), step speed, reaction time (time from cue to foot liftoff), and total response time (time from step cue to touchdown) in the forward and lateral directions. Paired t-tests and multiple linear regressions were used for analysis. FINDINGS Significant differences were found in movement time, speed and reaction time between limbs in the lateral direction, and in movement and reaction time in the forward direction. Trails A predicted step speed, reaction time and total response time for the fractured limb in the lateral direction, as well as reaction time and total response time in the forward direction. However, Trails A could not predict performance for the non-fractured limb. Trails B predicted stepping performance for both limbs in the forward and lateral directions. INTERPRETATION Trails A correlated with the fractured limb's ability to perform the choice stepping test, but not in the non-fractured limb. Meanwhile, Trails B correlated with stepping performance in both limbs, suggesting those with poorer executive function have a lower protective stepping capability and may be at a higher risk for future falls and injury.

[PMID: 32321678 PMCID: PMC7723983 DOI: 10.1016/j.jamda.2020.03.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2020] [Revised: 03/02/2020] [Accepted: 03/09/2020] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the risk of hospitalized fall or hip fracture among older adults using mental health services. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Residents of a South London catchment aged >60 years receiving specialist mental health care between 2008 and 2016. MEASURES Falls and/or a hip fracture leading to hospitalization were ascertained from linked national records. Incidence rates and incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were age- and gender-standardized to the catchment population. Multivariable survival analyses were applied investigating falls and/or hip fractures as outcomes. RESULTS In 22,103 older adults, incidence rates were 60.1 per 1000 person-years for hospitalized falls and 13.7 per 1000 person-years for hip fractures, representing standardized IRRs of 2.17 [95% confidence interval (CI) 2.07-2.28] and 4.18 (3.79-4.60), respectively. The IRR for falls was high in those with substance-use disorder [IRR = 6.72 (5.35-8.33)], bipolar disorder [IRR = 3.62 (2.50-5.05)], depression [IRR = 2.28 (2.00-2.59)], and stress-related disorders [IRR = 2.57 (2.10-3.11)]. Hip fractures were increased in all populations (IRR > 2.5), with greatest risk in substance use disorders [IRR = 12.64 (7.22-20.52)], dementia [IRR = 4.38 (3.82-5.00)], and delirium [IRR = 4.03 (3.00-5.29)]. Comparing mental disorder subgroups with each other, after the adjustment for 25 potential confounders, patients with dementia and substance use had a significantly increased risk of falls, and patients with dementia also had an increased risk of hip fractures. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS Older people using mental health services have more than double the incidence of falls and 4 times the incidence of hip fractures compared to the general population. Although incidences differ between diagnostic subgroups, all groups have a higher incidence than the general population. Targeted interventions to prevent falls and hip fractures among older adult mental health service users are urgently needed.

J Am Med Dir Assoc 2020; 22:1307-1312.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study investigates the transitions of community-dwelling patients with a proximal femoral fracture towards recovery of independence using multistate modeling. The prognostic value of factors affecting the short-term rate of recovery of independence in activities of daily living was assessed for the resilient portion of the population. DESIGN An inception cohort was recruited between 2016 and 2019. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Only community-dwelling older patients admitted with a proximal femoral fracture were included. MEASURES Follow-up was performed at 6 weeks and 3 months, when the patients' living situation and level of independence were recorded. Multistate modeling was used to study the transition rates of the population through prespecified states of the recovery process. Using this model, prognostic factors for the recovery of independence were identified for resilient patients (defined as those patients who managed to return home at any point in the follow-up after discharge). RESULTS A total of 558 patients were included, and 218 (40.9%) recovered to prefracture levels of independence. Of the resilient patients, 20.7% were discharged home directly, and 79.3% via a rehabilitation home. In this patient group, a more favorable American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, better prefracture mobility, and the absence of a prefracture fear of falling were statistically significantly associated with a successful recovery. A low level of prefracture independence was inversely associated, meaning that patients with a low level of prefracture independence had a higher chance of successful recovery. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS This study identified 4 factors with an independent prognostic value for the recovery of independence in resilient patients after a proximal femoral fracture. These factors could be used to construct clinical profiles that contribute to the assessment of the patient's post-acute care needs and recovery capacity. In addition, multistate modeling has been shown to be an effective and versatile tool in the study of recovery prognostics.

Abstract
PURPOSE To date in Italy we do not have sufficient information on the rehabilitation process of older patients with hip fractures especially in the context of dementia. The main aims of the study were to gather information on the characteristics of older patients with hip fracture admitted to rehabilitation units with a specific focus on geriatric syndromes and the rehabilitation process. METHODS A national multi-center "point prevalence study" was conducted in Italy over two index days in 2017 and 2018. All patients aged 70 years and older hospitalized on the index day in Rehabilitation Units after a hip fracture were eligible. RESULTS A total of 615 patients were included. Most of the hospitals involved were from northern Italy, to a lesser extent from central and from southern Italy. The mean age was 83.08 ± 7.9 years. Almost half of the patients lived alone before the hip fracture. Most of the falls happened at home and while walking. The prevalence of delirium, dementia and malnutrition was 9.1%, 36.6%, and 19.3%, respectively. Antidepressants were prescribed in 27% of the population. The multidisciplinary team was activated as follows: occupational therapist in 18.9% of the cases, psychologists in 14.5%, social workers in 15.3%, and speech therapists in 6.5%. CONCLUSION The study allowed the collection of data on a relatively large sample of older patients with hip fracture showing the possible current limitations in the correct management of geriatric syndromes in this frail population. Future multicenter longitudinal studies are required to further study this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The majority of patients require postacute care (PAC) after a hip fracture. Despite its importance, there is no established consensus regarding the standards of care provided to hip fracture patients in PAC facilities. METHODOLOGY A writing group was created by professionals from the International Geriatric Fracture Society (IGFS) with representation from other organizations. The focus of the statements included in this article is toward PAC providers located in nursing facilities. Contributions were integrated in a single document that underwent several reviews by each author and then underwent a final review by the lead and senior authors. After this process was completed, the document was appraised by reviewers from IGFS. RESULTS/CONCLUSION A total of 15 statements were crafted. These statements summarize the best available evidence and is intended to help PAC facilities managing older adults with hip fractures more efficiently, aiming toward overall better outcomes in the areas of function, quality of life, and with less complications that could interfere with their optimal recovery.
