[PMID: 39329162 PMCID: PMC11425733 DOI: 10.1177/21514593241284731] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Revised: 08/19/2024] [Accepted: 09/01/2024] [Indexed: 09/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Objectives This study examines the impact of pulmonary embolism (PE) on mortality among patients with femoral neck fractures, exploring the predictive value of preoperative PE for postoperative occurrences and associated mortality over a 5-year follow-up period. Methods We analyzed 2256 patients over 60 years old admitted with femoral neck fractures, focusing on those who developed DVT or PE postoperatively. Surgical intervention aimed within 48 hours without pharmacological thromboprophylaxis, utilizing mechanical prophylaxis instead. Postoperative management included Enoxaparin administration. Data analysis employed SPSS 21, with chi-squared tests, T-tests, and multivariate logistic regression to explore mortality and PE incidence. Results PE was diagnosed in 1.4% of patients, with a notable mortality contrast between patients with PE (87%) and those without (59.7%) over 5 years. A history of preoperative PE emerged as a significant risk factor for postoperative PE. Despite surgical variations, no significant correlation was found between surgery type and PE incidence. Early postoperative weight-bearing and institutional rehabilitation did not significantly alter PE incidence rates. Conclusions The study underscores the significant mortality risk associated with preoperative PE in femoral neck fracture patients. It highlights the necessity for vigilant PE risk assessment and management, challenging assumptions about the protective role of early mobility and rehabilitation in PE incidence. Further research is essential to refine patient care strategies and improve outcomes.

[PMID: 37772615 DOI: 10.1111/jgs.18601] [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: 05/25/2023] [Revised: 08/29/2023] [Accepted: 09/04/2023] [Indexed: 09/30/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to numerous health issues, including an increased risk of hip fractures. This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and mortality in patients with hip fracture. To assess the impact of different levels of vitamin D deficiency on mortality in patients with hip fractures and examine the influence of potential confounding factors. METHODS A systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and Cochrane Collaboration Library was conducted, resulting in nine eligible cohort studies (n = 4409). Patients with hip fractures were categorized based on their vitamin D levels as severe, moderate, or insufficient. Mortality was the primary outcome measure in this study. Subgroup analyses were performed according to the follow-up time. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using a random-effects model in Review Manager 5.4. RESULTS Nine studies, with a pool of 4409 patients, were included. Vitamin D insufficiency was significantly associated with increased mortality (OR 1.24, 95% CI 1.05-1.46; I2 = 4%). Severe deficiency also led to a significant increase in mortality (OR 2.08, 95% CI 1.09-3.97; I2 = 42%), whereas moderate deficiency did not show a significant effect (OR 1.06, 95% CI 0.79-1.44; I2 = 0%). Subgroup analysis revealed significant associations between vitamin D insufficiency and increased mortality at 1-year (OR 1.37, 95% CI 1.06-1.77) and 2-year follow-ups (OR 1.78, 95% CI 1.01-3.15). After adjusting for potential confounders, no significant increase in the mortality rate was observed. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis suggests that vitamin D insufficiency and severe deficiency are associated with increased mortality in patients with hip fracture. However, after adjusting for confounding factors, this association was not statistically significant. Further research is necessary to understand the role of vitamin D deficiency in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A hip fracture in an older person is a devastating injury. It impacts functional mobility, independence and survival. Models of care may provide a means for delivering integrated hip fracture care in less well-resourced settings. The aim of this review was to determine the elements of hip fracture models of care to inform the development of an adaptable model of care for low and middle-income countries (LMICs). METHODS Multiple databases were searched for papers reporting a hip fracture model of care for any part of the patient pathway from injury to rehabilitation. Results were limited to publications from 2000. Titles, abstracts and full texts were screened based on eligibility criteria. Papers were evaluated with an equity lens against eight conceptual criteria adapted from an existing description of a model of care. RESULTS 82 papers were included, half of which were published since 2015. Only two papers were from middle-income countries and only two papers were evaluated as reporting all conceptual criteria from the existing description. The most identified criterion was an evidence-informed intervention and the least identified was the inclusion of patient stakeholders. CONCLUSION Interventions described as models of care for hip fracture are unlikely to include previously described conceptual criteria. They are most likely to be orthogeriatric approaches to service delivery, which is a barrier to their implementation in resource-limited settings. In LMICs, the provision of orthogeriatric competencies by other team members is an area for further investigation.

Clinical results of short external rotators preserving posterolateral approach for hemiarthroplasty after femoral neck fractures in elderly patients. Injury 2022; 53:1164-1168. [PMID: 35034776 DOI: 10.1016/j.injury.2021.12.049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2021] [Revised: 12/20/2021] [Accepted: 12/28/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Even though the dislocation rate is lower in the hemiarthroplasty (HA) than total hip arthroplasty, it has still developed as one of serious complications in elderly patients. We have used short external rotators (SER) preserving posterolateral approach to reduce dislocation after hip arthroplasty, especially in elderly patients. The present study was conducted to introduce SER preserving posterolateral approach and report the dislocation rate after HA via this approach in elderly patients with femoral neck fractures. METHODS Between January 2015 and July 2019, 307 consecutive elderly patients aged over 70 years who underwent cementless bipolar HA for femoral neck fractures and were followed up for at least one year, were enrolled in this study. All surgeries were performed using the SER preserving posterolateral approach. The demographic and perioperative data were examined and the complications including dislocation were investigated. RESULTS Mean operation time was 54.3 min, and mean estimated blood loss was 252.4 cc. The mean follow-up time was 22.1 months, HHS was 67.5 points at the final examination Dislocation following HA developed in only one patient (0.3%) with dementia during hospital stay, which was reduced closely with no subsequent recurrence. Periprosthetic femoral fracture occurred in two patients, which was treated with internal fixation in one patient and with stem revision in the other patient. There was no surgical site infection or periprosthetic infection as complications. CONCLUSION The SER preserving technique in posterolateral approach effectively can be effective for reducing the dislocation after HA in elderly patients with femoral neck fracture. It can be encouraged in posterolateral approach for HA, especially in elderly patients under the risk of dislocation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine if matching by trauma risk score is non-inferior to matching by chronic comorbidities and/or a combination of demographic and patient characteristics in observational studies of acute trauma in a hip fracture model. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study SETTING: Level-1 Trauma Center PATIENTS: 1,590 hip fracture [AO/OTA 31A and 31B] patients age 55 and over treated between October 2014 and February 2020 at 4 hospitals within a single academic medical center. INTERVENTION Repeatedly matching randomized subsets of patients by (1) Score for Trauma Triage in Geriatric and Middle-Aged (STTGMA), (2) Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), or (3) a combination of sex, age, CCI and body mass index (BMI). MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS "Matching failures" where rate of significant differences in variables of matched cohorts exceeds the 5% expected by chance. RESULTS STTGMA and combination matching resulted in no "matching failures". Matching by CCI alone resulted in "matching failures" of BMI, ASA class, STTGMA, major complications, sepsis, pneumonia, acute respiratory failure, and 90-day readmission. CONCLUSIONS STTGMA matching in observational cohort studies is less likely to yield significant differences of demographics and outcomes than CCI matching. STTGMA matching is noninferior to matching a combination of demographic variables optimized for each treatment cohort. STTGMA matching is apt to reflect equipoise of health at admission and outcome likelihood in observational cohort studies of orthopedic trauma, while maintaining consistent weighting of demographic and injury characteristic variables that may expand the generalizability of these studies. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify whether the partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2) level at admission is an independent risk factor as a prognostic biomarker to predict postoperative pneumonia (POP) in the geriatric population who have undergone hip fracture surgical repair at our hospital. DESIGN A retrospective cohort study. SETTING This is a retrospective chart review of POP after hip fracture surgery in China. PARTICIPANTS In training cohort, patients aged ≥65 years who had hip fracture surgery between 1 January 2018 and 30 November 2019. In the validation cohort, a series of patients who underwent hip fracture surgery between 1 January 2020 and 28 February 2020. INTERVENTIONS Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to obtain the area under the ROC curve (AUC) and cut-off values of PaO2 to predict POP. A binomial logistic regression model was used to identify potential risk factors for POP by analysing demographic distribution factors, laboratory results, preoperative comorbidities and surgical factors. Then the regression model was validated using an independent cohort. RESULTS In the training cohort, ROC curves were generated to compare the predictive performance of PaO2 for the occurrence of POP, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.653 (95% CI 0.577 to 0.729, p<0.0001), with sensitivity and specificity values of 60.0% and 63.8%, respectively. The cut-off value of the PaO2 for POP was 72.5 mm Hg. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that hypoxaemia (PaO2 <72.5 mm Hg) at hospital admission (OR=3.000, 95% CI 1.629 to 5.528; p<0.0001) was independent risk factors associated with POP after hip fracture surgery. In the validation cohort, PaO2 had a predictive effect for POP (AUC 0.71, 95% CI 0.541 to 0.891). CONCLUSIONS The current study revealed that the PaO2 level at hospital admission is a simple and widely available biomarker predictor of POP after hip fracture surgery in elderly patients.

Impact of Healthcare Delivery System Type on Clinical, Utilization, and Cost Outcomes of Patient-Centered Medical Homes: a Systematic Review. J Gen Intern Med 2020; 35:1276-1284. [PMID: 31907790 PMCID: PMC7174518 DOI: 10.1007/s11606-019-05594-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2019] [Revised: 11/18/2019] [Accepted: 12/02/2019] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND As healthcare reimbursement shifts from being volume to value-focused, new delivery models aim to coordinate care and improve quality. The patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model is one such model that aims to deliver coordinated, accessible healthcare to improve outcomes and decrease costs. It is unclear how the types of delivery systems in which PCMHs operate differentially impact outcomes. We aim to describe economic, utilization, quality, clinical, and patient satisfaction outcomes resulting from PCMH interventions operating within integrated delivery and finance systems (IDFS), government systems including Veterans Administration, and non-integrated delivery systems. METHODS We searched PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Embase from 2004 to 2017. Observational studies and clinical trials occurring within the USA that met PCMH criteria (as defined by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality), addressed ambulatory adults, and reported utilization, economic, clinical, processes and quality of care, or patient satisfaction outcomes. RESULTS Sixty-four studies were included. Twenty-four percent were within IDFS, 29% were within government systems, and 47% were within non-IDFS. IDFS studies reported decreased emergency department use, primary care use, and cost relative to other systems after PCMH implementation. Government systems reported increased primary care use relative to other systems after PCMH implementation. Clinical outcomes, processes and quality of care, and patient satisfaction were assessed heterogeneously or infrequently. DISCUSSION Published articles assessing PCMH interventions generally report improved outcomes related to utilization and cost. IDFS and government systems exhibit different outcomes relative to non-integrated systems, demonstrating that different health systems and populations may be particularly sensitive to PCMH interventions. Both the definition of PCMH interventions and outcomes measured are heterogeneous, limiting the ability to perform direct comparisons or meta-analysis.

Abstract
Background Perioperative blood management is an important issue in the treatment of elderly patients at an increased risk of postoperative complications. Accordingly, tranexamic acid (TXA) is widely administered to reduce blood loss and transfusion requirements. In this case-control study, the effect of topical TXA on the outcomes of elderly patients with femoral neck fractures after hemiarthroplasty was evaluated. Methods This study enrolled elderly patients (age ≥ 70 years) who underwent cementless bipolar hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures between January 2015 and January 2017. The study group comprised 72 patients who received TXA via topical administration during surgery. After propensity matching, the control group comprised 72 patients who did not receive topical TXA. The perioperative and postoperative parameters of the two groups were compared. Results The estimated blood loss, vacuum tube drainage, and total transfusion volume were significantly lower in the study group than the control (p = 0.024, 0.003, and 0.019, respectively). Despite a lack of significant intergroup differences in the lengths of ICU and hospital stays; rates of ICU admission, venous thromboembolism, delirium, and readmission; and rates of in-hospital and 1-year mortality, the incidence of postoperative medical complications was significantly lower in the study group (p = 0.003). Conclusion Topical TXA administration appears to be a simple and effective option for reducing blood loss, transfusion requirements, and medical complications after hemiarthroplasty in elderly patients with femoral neck fractures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of clinical care pathways (CCPs) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and physical function following fragility fracture and identify the specific characteristics of CCPs that are associated with improved outcomes. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Randomized controlled studies and nonrandomized studies that involved participants aged ≥50 years who sustained a fragility fracture, evaluated the effects of a CCP compared to usual care, and reported outcomes of HRQoL or physical function. METHODS We systematically searched Ovid Medline, CINAHL, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from the earliest records to July 25, 2018. Two reviewers independently extracted study data and assessed methodologic quality. RESULTS Overall, 22 studies (17 randomized controlled trials, 5 nonrandomized studies) were included, comprising 5842 participants. Twenty-one studies included hip fracture patients, and 1 included wrist fracture patients. Majority of studies (82%) were assessed as high quality. Meta-analyses showed moderate improvements in the CCP group for HRQoL [standardized mean difference (SMD) = 0.24, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.12, 0.35] and physical function (SMD 0.21, 95% CI 0.10, 0.33) compared with usual care post hip fracture. Inpatient CCPs that extended to the outpatient setting showed greater improvements in HRQoL and physical function compared to CCPs that were only inpatient or outpatient. CCPs that included a care coordinator, geriatric assessment, rehabilitation, prevention of inpatient complications, nutritional advice, or discharge planning also showed greater improvements in outcomes. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Treatment with CCPs following fragility fracture showed greater improvements in HRQoL and physical function compared with usual care. Further research is warranted to assess the combination of CCP components that provide the most beneficial results, evaluate the effect of CCPs in patients with nonhip fractures, and determine which patient groups are more likely to benefit from CCPs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip fracture is a common serious injury afflicting the geriatric population and is associated with poor clinical outcomes, functional and walking disabilities and high 1-year mortality rates. A multidisciplinary approach has been shown to improve outcomes of geriatric patients with fragility fracture. AIMS We piloted a dedicated orthogeriatric service for hip fracture patients to determine if the service facilitated a change in major patient outcomes, such as mortality, length of stay and dependency. METHODS A dedicated orthogeriatrics service for hip fracture was established as a collaborative project between the Department of Geriatric Medicine and Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at a university teaching hospital. Orthogeriatrics service data were collected prospectively on an orthogeriatric filemaker database from July 2011 to July 2012 (N = 206). Data were compared to previously recorded data (Irish Hip Fracture Database) on a cohort of hip fracture patients admitted to the same orthopaedic trauma unit from July 2009 to July 2010 (N = 248). RESULTS Patients in the orthogeriatric service group experienced significant reductions in 1-year mortality (χ2 = 13.34, P < 0.001), length of acute hospital stay (U = -3.77, P < 0.001) and requirements for further rehabilitation (χ 2 = 26.59, P < 0.001). Patients in the pre-service establishment group were significantly more dependent following their fracture than the patients in the orthogeriatric service group (χ 2 = 5.34, P = 0.021). CONCLUSIONS A multidisciplinary management approach to fragility fracture of the femoral neck that involves comprehensive geriatric assessment, daily medical involvement of a geriatric team and specialised follow-up assessment leads to a significant reduction in mortality and improved outcomes.

Perioperative risk factors in patients with a femoral neck fracture - influence of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and C-reactive protein on postoperative medical complications and 1-year mortality. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2016; 17:51. [PMID: 26833068 PMCID: PMC4736308 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-016-0906-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2015] [Accepted: 01/27/2016] [Indexed: 01/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Background This study examined the association of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and C-reactive protein (CRP) with postoperative medical complications and one year mortality of elderly patients sustaining a low-energy cervical hip fracture scheduled for surgery. We hypothesized that vitamin D deficiency and CRP in these patients might be associated with an increased 1-year mortality. Methods The prospective single-center cohort study included 209 patients with a low-energy medial femoral neck fracture; 164 women aged over 50 years and 45 men aged over 60 years. Referring to 1-year mortality and postoperative medical complications multiple logistic regression analysis including 10 co-variables (age, sex, BMI, ASA, creatinine, CRP, leukocytes hemoglobin, 25(OH)D, vitamin D supplementation at follow-up) was performed. Results Vitamin D deficiency was prevalent in 87 % of all patients. In patients with severe (<10 ng/ml) and moderate (10–20 ng/ml) vitamin D deficiency one year mortality was 29 % and 13 %, respectively, compared to 9 % in patients with > 20 ng/ml 25(OH)D levels (p =0.027). Patients with a mild (CRP 10–39.9 mg/l) or active inflammatory response (CRP ≥ 40 mg/l) showed a higher one year mortality of 33 % and 40 % compared to 16 % in patients with no (CRP < 10 mg/l) inflammatory response (p = 0.002). Multiple logistic regression analysis identified CRP (OR 1.01, 95 % CI 1.00-1.02; p = 0.007), but not 25(OH)D (OR 0.97, 95 % CI 0.89-1.05; p = 0.425) as an independent predictor for one year mortality. 20 % of patients suffered in-hospital postoperative medical complications (i.e. pneumonia, thromboembolic events, etc.). 25(OH)D (OR 0.89, 95 % CI 0.81–0.97; p = 0.010), but not CRP (OR 1.01, 95 % CI 1.00-1.02; p = 0.139), was identified as an independent risk factor. Conclusion In elderly patients with low-energy cervical hip fracture, 25(OH)D is independently associated with postoperative medical complications and CRP is an independent predictor of one year mortality.

Abstract
The patient-centered medical home (PCMH) is a model of health care delivery designed to improve patient health outcomes by increasing the effectiveness of primary care. The effectiveness of PCMH on vulnerable populations is still largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between patient perceptions of PCMH characteristics and patient satisfaction among Spanish-speaking and non-Spanish-speaking patients receiving health care at free clinics. A self-administered survey was used to collect data in 2 free clinics in the United States in 2013. Patients were primarily young and female; 44% were Spanish speaking. Patient perceptions of PCMH characteristics were assessed using multi-item Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems scales developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Patient satisfaction was assessed as satisfaction with care received at the clinic and willingness to recommend the provider. Multivariate logistic regression modeled the association between PCMH components and these 2 patient satisfaction measures. In adjusted analyses among Spanish speakers, satisfaction with clinic care was associated with staff helpfulness (OR = 6.03, 95% CI = 1.87-19.46) and no perceived discrimination (OR = 2.55, 95% CI = 1.22-5.33). For non-Spanish speakers, provider communication and politeness significantly increased odds of satisfaction with clinic services. Provider communication was strongly associated with patients' intention to recommend the provider to others for both Spanish speakers and non-Spanish speakers (OR = 4.83, 95% CI = 1.35-17.24; OR = 5.42, 95% CI = 1.54-19.09, respectively). Findings suggest that interpersonal characteristics of providers and clinic staff are critical to patient satisfaction among vulnerable populations served by free clinics. Future studies should examine PCMH components and clinical outcomes among this population.
