[PMID: 38867082 PMCID: PMC11169447 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-64516-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024] Open
Abstract
The purpose of this research was to ascertain how progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) technique affected hip fracture patients' anxiety, sleep quality, and post-operative pain. This parallel randomized controlled trial was conducted on 100 patients with hip fracture hospitalized in one of the reference orthopedic hospitals in Tehran, Iran who were selected using convenience sampling and randomly were placed in two PMR group (n = 50) and control group (n = 50). Data were collected by Demographic information questionnaire, Visual analogue scale for pain rating, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. The PMR technique was the progressive muscle relaxation technique, which was started the night after the surgery for three nights before going to bed. Data were collected on two occasions, including before the PMR technique and the day after the last stage of the PMR technique. The data were analyzed by SPSS software using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed significant within-group changes in both groups' post-operative pain, sleep quality, and anxiety scores (P < 0.001). The progressive muscle relaxation group experienced decreased post-operative pain and anxiety scores and increased sleep quality scores (P < 0.001). The linear mixed model showed that the absolute changes in the follow-up post-operative pain, sleep quality, and anxiety scores were 1.19 and 7.94 units, significantly lower than the baseline, respectively. The results revealed significant within-group changes in both groups' post-operative pain, sleep quality, and anxiety scores (P < 0.001). The progressive muscle relaxation group experienced decreased post-operative pain and anxiety scores and increased sleep quality scores (P < 0.001). The study's findings demonstrated the beneficial effects of progressive muscle relaxation on hip fracture patients' outcomes, such as their level of anxiety, sleep quality, and post-operative pain. The study's findings can be applied by medical professionals to improve patient satisfaction and care quality.This clinical trial has been registered with the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials under the code IRCT20231120060119N1, which was approved on 7/12/2023.

Factors associated with concerns about falling and activity restriction in older adults after hip fracture: a mixed-methods systematic review. Eur Geriatr Med 2024; 15:305-332. [PMID: 38418713 PMCID: PMC10997732 DOI: 10.1007/s41999-024-00936-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate factors contributing to concerns about falling and activity restriction in the community among older adults who had a hip fracture. METHODS A mixed method systematic review with a convergent segregated approach. We searched Medline, Embase, PsycInfo, PEDRo, CINAHL and the Cochrane library. Results were synthesised narratively considering physical, psychological, environmental, care, and social factors and presented in tables. Critical appraisal was completed in duplicate. RESULTS We included 19 studies (9 qualitative, 9 observational, 1 mixed methods) representing 1480 individuals and 23 factors related to concerns about falling and activity restriction. Physical factors included falls history, comorbidities, balance, strength, mobility and functionality. Psychological factors included anxiety and neuroticism scores, perceived confidence in/control over rehabilitation and abilities, and negative/positive affect about the orthopaedic trauma, pre-fracture abilities and future needs. Environmental factors included accessibility in the home, outdoors and with transport. Social and care factors related to the presence or absence of formal and informal networks, which reduced concerns and promoted activity by providing feedback, advice, encouragement, and practical support. CONCLUSION These findings highlight that to improve concerns about falling and activity restriction after hip fracture, it is important to: improve physical and functional abilities; boost self-confidence; promote positive affect; involve relatives and carers; increase access to clinicians, and; enhance accessibility of the home, outdoors and transport. Most factors were reported on by a small number of studies of varying quality and require replication in future research.

Abstract
Opioid medications are commonly prescribed after pediatric orthopaedic surgery, but there is a critical need to optimize prescribing practice. This study identifies socio-economic characteristics, surgical characteristics, and patient reported psychological factors influencing postoperative opioid use in this population and found that post-operative opioid use in this pediatric orthopaedic population is multifactorial. Physicians should consider implementing protocols for initial opioid prescriptions to cover two to three days following common orthopaedic surgeries for most pediatric patients.

Risk Factors and Outcomes of Extended Length of Stay in Older Adults with Intertrochanteric Fracture Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study of 2132 Patients. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11247366. [PMID: 36555982 PMCID: PMC9784786 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11247366] [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: 10/19/2022] [Revised: 11/17/2022] [Accepted: 12/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
We aimed to identify the risk factors associated with an extended length of hospital stay (eLOS) in older hip-fracture patients and to explore the relationships between eLOS and mortality and functional outcomes. In this retrospective analysis of surgically treated intertrochanteric fracture (IF) patients, all variables were obtained and compared between the eLOS group and the normal LOS group. All participants were followed-up for a minimum of two years and the relation between the eLOS and all-cause mortality and functional outcomes were compared. After adjustment for potential confounders, we identified that patients with high modified Elixhauser's Comorbidity Measure (mECM) had the highest likelihood of eLOS, followed by obesity, admission in winter, living in urban, pulmonary complications, admission in autumn, and time from injury to surgery. In addition, our results showed no significant difference in the mortality and functional outcomes between the two groups during follow-up. By identifying these risk factors in the Chinese geriatric population, it may be possible to risk-stratify IF patients and subsequently streamline inpatient resource utilization. However, the differences between health care systems must be taken into consideration. Future studies are needed to preemptively target the modifiable risk factors to demonstrate benefits in diminishing eLOS.

Abstract
Chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) stands as a major health issue. The unchanged incidence over the last two decades underlines both the failure of predictive models developed until now and the lack of efficacy of common “preventive” strategies (pharmacotherapy and regional analgesic techniques) applied in current clinical practice. The recognition of CPSP as a disease and the release of a common definition of the condition is an important progress in the field. CPSP predictive scores exist but none has presently demonstrated an impact on patient care. New clinical directions based on the resolution of postoperative pain, a complex and highly dynamic process supported by individual pain trajectories, argue for predictive models and preventive strategies extended to the subacute pain period i.e. after hospital discharge.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Research on the multi-faceted characteristics of persistent severe acute lower back pain (LBP) resulting from acute vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) is lacking. OBJECTIVE To investigate the psychological and functional status of older patients with persistent severe acute LBP after conservative treatment of VCFs. METHODS This prospective study included women aged 50 years and older who had acute VCFs and were admitted to the hospital. Pain intensity, depression, pain catastrophizing, activities of daily living (ADL), muscle strength, and vertebral deformity were assessed on admission. At 2 and 4 weeks post-admission, physical performance tests were performed along with the above measures. RESULTS We divided 131 participants into severe (n= 64) and mild (n= 67) groups according to their pain intensity at 4 weeks. Compared to the mild group, the severe group showed significantly higher levels of depression and catastrophizing, with significantly poorer muscle strength and endurance. There were no significant differences in ADL and vertebral deformities between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that older patients with persistent severe acute LBP resulting from VCFs tend to be depressed and pain catastrophizing. Furthermore, persistent severe acute LBP negatively impacts endurance and muscle strength but not ADL.

Use of Intravenous Paracetamol Preoperatively Favors Lower Risk of Delirium and Functional Recovery in Elderly Patients with Hip Fracture: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis. Pain Res Manag 2022; 2022:1582727. [PMID: 35463628 PMCID: PMC9020999 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1582727] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2021] [Revised: 03/12/2022] [Accepted: 03/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
We aimed to investigate whether the use of intravenous paracetamol (IVP) preoperatively in intertrochanteric fracture (IF) patients aged 65 years or over receiving intramedullary fixation had significantly benefits on the pain score at discharge, delirium incidence, length of hospital stay (LOS), functional outcomes, and mortality. A retrospective analysis of all surgically treated patients presenting with IF was conducted at a single Level I trauma center in China between Jan. 2016 and Jan. 2020. The data concerning patients' demographics, injury-related data, surgery-related data, operation-related data, in-hospital data, and postoperative outcomes were extracted. To minimize potential confounding and selection bias, the propensity score matching (PSM) method was performed via the caliper matching method by using a 1 : 1 ratio. After PSM, McNemar's chi-square tests were used to examine the association of using IVP with outcome analyses. The Spearman correlations of IVP using, pain scores, and the factors which may influence them were also computed. After screening 2963 consecutive patients, 2166 were included finally, including 1576 in the non-IVP group and 590 in the IVP group. After PSM, 531 remained in each group. The pain scores at discharge were significantly between the two groups before and after matching (all p < 0.001). The differences of delirium rate and functional outcomes became significant after propensity score-based matching (p=0.001 and 0.033, respectively), although they were not significant before matching. No significant difference was observed in other operation-related data, LOS, and crude mortality rates at 30-day, 90-day, and 12-month before and after PSM. In conclusion, this study highlights the need for preoperative IVP use to optimize pain control, postoperative functional recovery, and minimize pain-related comorbidities such as delirium in elderly patients with hip fracture.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) is a global issue with high prevalence. This study compared acute pain descriptors among patients undergoing carpal tunnel release (CTR) or trigger finger release (TFR). We hypothesized worst pain intensity on postoperative day (POD) 10 would be best to predict the time to pain resolution. METHODS In this secondary analysis of a negative, randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled trial, adult veterans undergoing CTR or TFR were enrolled January 2012-January 2014, with data analysis February 2020-October 2020. Participants were randomized to receive minocycline 200 mg or placebo 2 h prior to the operation, then minocycline 100 mg or placebo twice daily for 5 days. The Brief Pain Inventory, assessed daily, captured three pain scores: average and worst pain over the past 24 h, and current pain intensity. Fifteen acute pain descriptors based on the pain scores (clusters, mean, median, pain scores on POD 10, and linear slopes) were compared as predictors of time to pain resolution. RESULTS Of 131 randomized participants, 114 (83 CTR, 31 TFR) were included. Average pain over the last 24 h reported on POD 10 best predicted time to pain cessation. Every one-point increase in the average pain score was associated with a 36.0% reduced rate of pain cessation (HR, 0.64, 95% CI 0.55-0.74, p < 0.001). Average pain on POD 10 was significantly associated with the development of CPSP at 90 days (OR 1.74, 95% CI 1.30-2.33, p value < 0.001). The optimal cutoff score for the high-risk group was determined as average pain on POD 10 ≥ 3. CONCLUSIONS This study validates prior work and demonstrates the importance of assessing pain severity on POD 10 to identify patients at high risk for CPSP who are most likely to benefit from early pain intervention. Future research in diverse surgical cohorts is needed to further validate pain assessment on POD 10 as a significant predictor of CPSP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip fracture in the elderly is a worldwide medical problem. New-onset depression after hip fracture has also received attention because of its increasing incidence and negative impact on recovery.
AIM To provide a synthesis of the literature addressing two very important questions arising from postoperative hip fracture depression (PHFD) research: the risk factors and associated clinical outcomes of PHFD, and the optimal options for intervention in PHFD.
METHODS We searched the PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and PsycINFO databases for English papers published from 2000 to 2021.
RESULTS Our results showed that PHFD may result in poor clinical outcomes, such as poor physical function and more medical support. In addition, the risk factors for PHFD were summarized, which made it possible to assess patients preoperatively. Moreover, our work preliminarily suggested that comprehensive care may be the optimal treatment option for PHFDs, while interdisciplinary intervention can also be clinically useful.
CONCLUSION We suggest that clinicians should assess risk factors for PHFDs preoperatively, and future research should further validate current treatment methods in more countries and regions and explore more advanced solutions.
