Abstract
BACKGROUND The trauma mortality rate is higher in the elderly compared with younger patients. Ageing is associated with physiological changes in multiple systems and correlated with frailty. Frailty is a risk factor for mortality in elderly trauma patients. We aim to provide evidence-based guidelines for the management of geriatric trauma patients to improve it and reduce futile procedures. METHODS Six working groups of expert acute care and trauma surgeons reviewed extensively the literature according to the topic and the PICO question assigned. Statements and recommendations were assessed according to the GRADE methodology and approved by a consensus of experts in the field at the 10th international congress of the WSES in 2023. RESULTS The management of elderly trauma patients requires knowledge of ageing physiology, a focused triage, including drug history, frailty assessment, nutritional status, and early activation of trauma protocol to improve outcomes. Acute trauma pain in the elderly has to be managed in a multimodal analgesic approach, to avoid side effects of opioid use. Antibiotic prophylaxis is recommended in penetrating (abdominal, thoracic) trauma, in severely burned and in open fractures elderly patients to decrease septic complications. Antibiotics are not recommended in blunt trauma in the absence of signs of sepsis and septic shock. Venous thromboembolism prophylaxis with LMWH or UFH should be administrated as soon as possible in high and moderate-risk elderly trauma patients according to the renal function, weight of the patient and bleeding risk. A palliative care team should be involved as soon as possible to discuss the end of life in a multidisciplinary approach considering the patient's directives, family feelings and representatives' desires, and all decisions should be shared. CONCLUSIONS The management of elderly trauma patients requires knowledge of ageing physiology, a focused triage based on assessing frailty and early activation of trauma protocol to improve outcomes. Geriatric Intensive Care Units are needed to care for elderly and frail trauma patients in a multidisciplinary approach to decrease mortality and improve outcomes.

While the Incidence of Venous Thromboembolism After Shoulder Arthroscopy Is Low, the Risk Factors Are a Body Mass Index Greater than 30 and Hypertension. Arthrosc Sports Med Rehabil 2024; 6:100815. [PMID: 38149088 PMCID: PMC10749995 DOI: 10.1016/j.asmr.2023.100815] [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: 01/12/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose This study aims to determine the overall incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) following shoulder arthroscopy and to define potential risk factors associated with its development that may help define guidelines for the use of thromboprophylaxis. Methods A systematic review was performed using PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL, and Cochrane databases per PRISMA guidelines. The search terms consisted of variations of "Venous Thromboembolism" and "Shoulder Arthroscopy." Information regarding arthroscopy indication, risk factors, outcomes, and patient demographics was recorded and analyzed, and pooled odds ratios were reported for each variable. Results Six hundred eighty-five articles were identified in the initial search, and 35 articles reported DVT, PE, or VTE incidence following shoulder arthroscopy. Seventeen nonoverlapping articles with a unique patient population incidence rates. Four articles were then used for subgroup meta-analysis. The incidence rate of VTE was 0.24%, ranging from 0.01% to 5.7%. BMI >30 (OR = 1.46; 95% CI = [1.22, 1.74]; I2 = 0%) and hypertension (OR = 1.64; 95% CI = [1.03, 2.6]; I2 = 75%) were significant risk factors (P < .05) for developing VTE following shoulder arthroscopy. Diabetes (OR = 1.2; 95% CI = [0.97, 1.48]; I2 = 0%), insulin-dependent diabetes (OR = 5.58; 95% CI = [0.12, 260.19]; I2 = 85%), smoking (OR = 1.04; 95% CI = [0.79, 1.37]; I2 = 12%), male sex (OR = 0.95; 95% CI = [0.49, 1.85]; I2 = 86%) and age over 65 (OR = 4.3; 95% CI = [0.25, 72.83]; I2 = 85%) were not associated with higher VTE risk. Conclusion The VTE incidence following shoulder arthroscopy is low at 0.24%. Patients with BMI >30 and hypertension are at a higher risk for VTE after shoulder arthroscopy. Level of Evidence Level IV, systematic review and meta-analysis of Level I-IV studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE To summarize the incidence, risk factors, diagnosis methods, prophylaxis methods, and treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) following arthroscopic shoulder surgery. METHODS Literature on VTE after arthroscopic shoulder surgeries was summarized, and all primary full-text articles reporting at least 1 case of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) after arthroscopic shoulder surgeries were included. Articles were critically appraised and systematically analyzed to determine the incidence, risk factors, diagnosis, prophylaxis, and management of VTE following arthroscopic shoulder surgeries. RESULTS This study included 42 articles in which the incidence of VTE ranges from 0 to 5.71% and the overall incidence was 0.26%. Most VTE events took place between the operation day and the 14th day after the operation (35/51). Possible risk factors included advanced age (> 70 years), obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2), diabetes mellitus, thrombophilia, history of VTE, prolonged operation time, hormone use, and immobilization after surgery. The most common prophylaxis method was mechanical prophylaxis (13/15). No statistical difference was detected when chemoprophylaxis was applied. The management included heparinization followed by oral warfarin, warfarin alone and rivaroxaban, a direct oral anticoagulant. CONCLUSION Based on the included studies, the incidence rate of VTE after arthroscopic shoulder surgeries is relatively low. The risk factors for VTE are still unclear. CT/CTA and ultrasound were the mainstream diagnosis methods for PE and DVT, respectively. Current evidence shows that chemical prophylaxis did not deliver significant benefits, since none of the existing studies reported statistically different results. High-quality studies focusing on the prophylaxis and management of VTE population undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgeries should be done in the future.

Abstract
Background Venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) following orthopedic surgery may lead to serious morbidity and mortality. Fortunately, VTEs following upper extremity procedures are uncommon. However, the true incidence is likely underreported. The aim of this study is to provide a systematic review, excluding large database studies, to report on the incidence of VTEs following shoulder arthroscopic procedures. Methods Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines, a systematic review of multiple databases was performed. A comprehensive search of several databases from inception to September 1, 2021, limited to English language and excluding animal studies, was designed and conducted. Studies were screened by 2 independent reviewers. A decision to exclude studies from large surgical or insurance claim databases was made to minimize the risk of including overlapping data points in this systematic review. Results Thirteen studies met inclusion and exclusion criteria and form part of this systematic review. A total of 32,407 patients were included in this study. Among these patients, the deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and overall VTE rates were 0.15%, 0.08%, and 0.21%, respectively. Among the patients specified to have undergone arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, the rate of deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and overall VTE was 0.71%, 0.37%, and 1.04%, respectively. Conclusion While symptomatic VTEs are rare following shoulder arthroscopic procedures, surgeons must be aware that they still account for a certain number of postoperative complications. Factors such as operative time, open procedures, obesity, and altitude may increase the risk of postoperative VTE although conflicting data exist. Current literature supports the idea that chemical antithrombotic prophylaxis likely provides no significant advantage over early mobilization in reducing VTEs following shoulder arthroscopy in low-risk patients.
