Keçeci T, Karagöz B, Ağır İ. Effectiveness of Delayed Surgical Treatment for Distal Radius Fractures With Loss of Reduction. J Hand Surg Am 2024:S0363-5023(24)00312-5. [PMID: 39140918 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhsa.2024.07.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2023] [Revised: 06/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 08/15/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study investigated the effectiveness of volar plate surgery in patients with distal radius fractures (DRFs) initially treated nonsurgically but later experiencing reduction loss during follow-ups. Specifically, it assessed the impact of early surgery (E) (<3 weeks) versus delayed surgery (D) (3-6 weeks) on wrist function in surgically treated DRFs. METHODS This retrospective study included 131 patients who underwent surgery after loss of reduction. Among them, 42 patients had delayed surgery, whereas 89 received early surgical treatment. The mean follow-up duration was 18 months. The primary outcome measure was Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand scores. Secondary outcomes included Short Form-12 physical component summary and mental component summary scores, postoperative range of motion, and radiological measurements such as radial length, radial inclination angle, and volar tilt angle. Fracture types were categorized using Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen/Orthopaedic Trauma Association classification based on radiological images. RESULTS All 131 DRFs achieved radiological union. Mean Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand scores were 8.0 (range, 0-78) and 10.8 (range, 0-73) for groups E and D, respectively, and the difference was not considered clinically relevant. Short Form-12 physical component summary scores (49.4 for E; 45.3 for D) and Short Form-12 mental component summary scores (52.3 for E; 53.5 for D) were similar in the two groups. Radiological measurements and range of motion were similar in the two groups. Complications, including carpal tunnel syndrome, superficial radial nerve neuropraxia, and complex regional pain syndrome, occurred in 12 (13.5%) E group patients and 9 (21.4%) D group patients. CONCLUSIONS Clinical and radiological results of early and delayed surgery after loss of reduction in secondary displaced DRF were similar. However, complication rates were higher in delayed surgery. TYPE OF STUDY/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic IV.

Outcomes following hip fracture surgery in adults with schizophrenia in Ontario, Canada: A 10-year population-based retrospective cohort study. Gen Hosp Psychiatry 2024; 89:60-68. [PMID: 38797059 DOI: 10.1016/j.genhosppsych.2024.05.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2024] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To understand immediate and long-term outcomes following hip fracture surgery in adults with schizophrenia. METHODS Retrospective population-based cohort study leveraging health administrative databases from Ontario, Canada. Individuals aged 40-105 years with hip fracture surgery between April 1, 2009 and March 31, 2019 were included. Schizophrenia was ascertained using a validated algorithm. Outcomes were: 30-day mortality; 30-day readmission; 1-year survival; and subsequent hip fracture within 2 years. Analyses incorporated Generalized Estimating Equation models, Kaplan-Meier curves, and Fine-Gray competing risk models. RESULTS In this cohort study of 98,126 surgically managed hip fracture patients, the median [IQR] age was 83[75-89] years, 69.2% were women, and 3700(3.8%) had schizophrenia. In Fine-Gray models, schizophrenia was associated with subsequent hip fracture (sdRH, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.09-1.53), with male patients with schizophrenia sustaining a refracture 50 days earlier. In age- and sex-adjusted GEE models, schizophrenia was associated with 30-day mortality (OR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.12-1.54) and readmissions (OR, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.25-1.56). Kaplan-Meier survival curves suggested that patients with schizophrenia were less likely to be alive at 1-year. CONCLUSIONS Study highlights the susceptibility of hip fracture patients with schizophrenia to worse outcomes, including refracture, with implications for understanding modifiable processes of care to optimize their recovery.

Postsurgical morbidity and mortality favorably informs deep brain stimulation for new indications including schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. Front Surg 2023; 10:958452. [PMID: 37066004 PMCID: PMC10098000 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2023.958452] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2022] [Accepted: 03/07/2023] [Indexed: 04/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Deep brain stimulation (DBS) shows promise for new indications like treatment-refractory schizophrenia in early clinical trials. In the first DBS clinical trial for treatment refractory schizophrenia, despite promising results in treating psychosis, one of the eight subjects experienced both a symptomatic hemorrhage and an infection requiring device removal. Now, ethical concerns about higher surgical risk in schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder (SZ/SAD) are impacting clinical trial progress. However, insufficient cases preclude conclusions regarding DBS risk in SZ/SAD. Therefore, we directly compare adverse surgical outcomes for all surgical procedures between SZ/SAD and Parkinson's disease (PD) cases to infer relative surgical risk relevant to gauging DBS risks in subjects with SZ/SAD. Design In the primary analysis, we used browser-based statistical analysis software, TriNetX Live (trinetx.com TriNetX LLC, Cambridge, MA), for Measures of Association using the Z-test. Postsurgical morbidity and mortality after matching for ethnicity, over 39 risk factors, and 19 CPT 1003143 coded surgical procedures from over 35,000 electronic medical records, over 19 years, from 48 United States health care organizations (HCOs) through the TriNetX Research Network™. TriNetXis a global, federated, web-based health research network providing access and statistical analysis of aggregate counts of deidentified EMR data. Diagnoses were based on ICD-10 codes. In the final analysis, logistic regression was used to determine relative frequencies of outcomes among 21 diagnostic groups/cohorts being treated with or considered for DBS and 3 control cohorts. Results Postsurgical mortality was 1.01-4.11% lower in SZ/SAD compared to the matched PD cohort at 1 month and 1 year after any surgery, while morbidity was 1.91-2.73% higher and associated with postsurgical noncompliance with medical treatment. Hemorrhages and infections were not increased. Across the 21 cohorts compared, PD and SZ/SAD were among eight cohorts with fewer surgeries, nine cohorts with higher postsurgical morbidity, and fifteen cohorts within the control-group range for 1-month postsurgical mortality. Conclusions Given that the subjects with SZ or SAD, along with most other diagnostic groups examined, had lower postsurgical mortality than PD subjects, it is reasonable to apply existing ethical and clinical guidelines to identify appropriate surgical candidates for inclusion of these patient populations in DBS clinical trials.

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.
