Comparative Interrupted Time Series Analysis of Medical Expenses in Patients with Intertrochanteric Fracture Who Underwent Internal Fixation and Hemiarthroplasty. Hip Pelvis 2024; 36:144-154. [PMID: 38825824 PMCID: PMC11162872 DOI: 10.5371/hp.2024.36.2.144] [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: 09/22/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/12/2023] [Indexed: 06/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose The objective of this study was to assess postoperative direct medical expenses and medical utilization of elderly patients who underwent either hemiarthroplasty (HA) or internal fixation (IF) for treatment of a femoral intertrochanteric fracture and to analyze differences according to surgical methods and age groups. Materials and Methods Data from the 2011 to 2018 Korean National Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service database were used. Risk-set matching was performed for selection of controls representing patients with the same sex, age, and year of surgery. A comparative interrupted time series analysis was performed for evaluation of differences in medical expenses and utilization between the two groups. Results A total of 10,405 patients who underwent IF surgery and 10,405 control patients who underwent HA surgery were included. Medical expenses were 18% lower in the IF group compared to the HA group during the first year after the fracture (difference-in-difference [DID] estimate ratio 0.82, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.77-0.87, P<0.001), and 9% lower in the second year (DID estimate ratio 0.91, 95% CI 0.85-0.99, P=0.018). Length of hospital stay was significantly shorter in the IF group compared to the HA group during the first two years after time zero in the age ≥80 group. Conclusion A noticeable increase in medical expenses was observed for patients who underwent HA for treatment of intertrochanteric fractures compared to those who underwent IF over a two-year period after surgery. Therefore, consideration of such findings is critical when designing healthcare policy support for management of intertrochanteric fractures.

Abstract
Patients with liver cancer may face stigmatization due to cancer, alcohol consumption, or both. This study addresses gaps in the existing literature regarding stigmatization of alcohol-related liver cancer patients, particularly its connection with socioeconomic status (SES). The study explores whether the SES of a fictional character with alcohol addiction and liver cancer influences stigma levels reported by participants. Additionally, it investigates how participants' personal characteristics, such as alcohol consumption and healthcare professional status, impact stigmatization. This study aims to provide new insights regarding the role of stigmatization in liver cancer treatment and management, emphasizing in socioeconomic determinants. The method is based on three scenarios describing a woman character with alcohol abuse and liver cancer. The scenarios depicted a woman character with either low, medium or high SES. Each participant (N = 991) was randomly assigned to one of the three scenarios. After reading it, each participant answered questionnaires assessing negative attitudes towards the character. Four scales were used: "Negative attributions about people with health problems", "Causality of cancer", "Controllability of drinking" and "Reluctance to helping behavior". Data were analyzed using ANOVA and t-tests. The scenario describing a character with a low SES significantly received more "Negative attributions about people with health problems" than the character with medium or high SES. Participants having higher alcohol consumption themselves showed lower stigma scores for three out of four scales than participants with lower consumption. In addition, participants identified as health professionals had lower stigma scores regarding the scales "Negative attributions about people with health problems" and "Controllability of drinking", and higher scores for the subscale "Reluctance to helping behavior", compared with non-professionals. A character with low SES received more negative attributions than the one with higher SES. Participants' own alcohol consumption and professional status (being health professional or not), influenced their stigmatizing attitudes.

Clin Orthop Surg 2024; 16:217-229. [PMID: 38562640 PMCID: PMC10973615 DOI: 10.4055/cios23282] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2023] [Revised: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/08/2023] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The objective of our study was to analyze the postoperative direct medical expenses and hospital lengths of stay (LOS) of elderly patients who had undergone either hemiarthroplasty (HA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA) for femoral neck fractures and to determine the indication of THA by comparing those variables between the 2 groups by time. Methods In this comparative large-sample cohort study, we analyzed data from the 2011 to 2018 Korean National Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service database. The included patients were defined as elderly individuals aged 60 years or older who underwent HA or THA for a femoral neck fracture. A 1:1 risk-set matching was performed on the propensity score, using a nearest-neighbor matching algorithm with a maximum caliper of 0.01 of the hazard components. In comparative interrupted time series analysis, time series were constructed using the time unit of one-quarter before and after 3 years from time zero. For the segmented regression analysis, we utilized a generalized linear model with a gamma distribution and logarithmic link function. Results A total of 4,246 patients who received THA were matched and included with 4,246 control patients who underwent HA. Although there was no statistically significant difference in direct medical expense and hospital LOS for the first 6 months after surgery, direct medical expenses and hospital LOS in THA were relatively reduced compared to the HA up to 24 months after surgery (p < 0.05). In the subgroup analysis, the THA group's hospital LOS decreased significantly compared to that of the HA group during the 7 to 36 months postoperative period in the 65 ≤ age < 80 age group (p < 0.05). Direct medical expenses of the THA group significantly decreased compared to those of the HA group during the period from 7 to 24 months after surgery in the men group (p < 0.05). Conclusions When performing THA in elderly patients with femoral neck fractures, the possibility of survival for at least 2 years should be considered from the perspective of medical expense and medical utilization. Additionally, in healthy and active male femoral neck fracture patients under the age of 80 years, THA may be more recommended than HA.

Shang Y, Shen Q, Tapper EB, Wester A, Hagström H. Risk of injuries before and after a diagnosis of cirrhosis: A population-based cohort study. Hepatol Commun 2023; 7:e0238. [PMID: 37820289 PMCID: PMC10578726 DOI: 10.1097/hc9.0000000000000238] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 07/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cirrhosis is often asymptomatic prior to decompensation. Still, cognitive impairment and sarcopenia may be present before decompensation, possibly increasing the risk of injuries. We estimated the risk of injuries during the period shortly before and after cirrhosis diagnosis. METHODS All patients (N=59,329) with a diagnosis of cirrhosis from 1997 to 2019 were identified from the Swedish National Patient Register. We used a self-controlled case series design to compare the incidence rates (IR) of injuries during a "diagnostic period" (within 3 months before or after the cirrhosis diagnosis date) to a self-controlled "prediagnostic period" (the same 6 calendar months 3 years before diagnosis), using conditional Poisson regression. Injuries were ascertained from the National Patient Register. RESULTS We identified 23,733 (40.0%) patients with compensated and 35,595 (60.0%) with decompensated cirrhosis. There were 975 injuries (IR 2.8/1000 person-months) during the prediagnostic period, and 3610 injuries (IR 11.6/1000 person-months) identified during the diagnostic period. The IR ratio was 8.1 (95% CI 7.5-8.7) comparing the diagnostic period with the prediagnostic period. For patients with compensated cirrhosis, the risk increment of injuries was highest just before the diagnosis of cirrhosis, whereas the risk increase was highest shortly after the diagnosis for those with decompensation. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of injuries increases shortly before and after the diagnosis of cirrhosis. These findings indicate that cirrhosis is frequently diagnosed in conjunction with an injury, and highlight the need for injury prevention after cirrhosis diagnosis, especially in patients with decompensation.

Impact of long-term care insurance on medical costs and utilization by patients with Parkinson's disease. Soc Sci Med 2023; 317:115563. [PMID: 36455406 DOI: 10.1016/j.socscimed.2022.115563] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2022] [Revised: 11/09/2022] [Accepted: 11/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), long-term care insurance (LTCI), which can provide physical activity, might affect medical costs and utilization. We investigated the impact of LTCI on medical costs and utilization among patients with PD aged ≥60 years. METHODS Data were derived from the 12-year Korean National Health Insurance Service‒Senior cohort. Among patients with newly developed PD, the intervention group receiving LTCI was matched with the control group using propensity score risk-set matching. As medical costs and utilization may increase markedly immediately before LTCI allocation, the baseline period was set from 5 years to 1 year prior to receiving LTCI. Medical costs and utilization were recorded in six 1-year intervals thereafter. We compared medical costs and utilization between groups using a comparative interrupted time-series analysis. RESULTS 5011 LTCI beneficiaries and 5011 propensity score- and risk-set-matched controls were included. The overall mean (standard deviation) age was 77.73 (5.7) years, and 66.2% were women, in both groups. LTCI benefit was associated with reduced overall direct medical costs for 5 years (post-intervention year 5: -270$, p = 0.033), and overall hospital length-of-stay (LOS) for 2 years post-LTCI (post-intervention year 2: -2.43 days, p = 0.002), although medical costs and LOS increased immediately pre-LTCI implementation. The long-term care hospital LOS of LTCI beneficiaries increased relatively by 3-years post-LTCI implementation, particularly in those with a high Charlson Comorbidity Index score (post-intervention year 3: +2.65 days, p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS LTCI benefit stably decreased medical costs for patients with PD for 5 years, despite the steep increase immediately pre-LTCI benefit, but was limited in reducing medical utilization, particularly as reflected by LOS in long-term care hospitals and patients with comorbidities. LTCI could be a useful health policy to reduce PD disease burden. However, further development is required to provide services that can reduce LOS to PD patients with comorbidities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parkinson's disease (PD) is an increasingly common neurodegenerative disease in an aging society. Whether PD is associated with an increased suicide risk is unclear. Thus, we investigated the effect of new-onset PD on suicide. METHODS Using the National Health Insurance Service Senior Sample Cohort of South Korea, 17,143 incident PD patients and 17,143 risk set controls, matched by propensity score, were selected for follow-up. The incidence rate of suicide and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated based on a generalized linear model of the Poisson distribution. Effect sizes were expressed as hazard ratios (HRs) using the Cox proportional hazards model with a robust variance estimator that incorporated clustering within matched pairs. RESULTS The incidence rate of suicide was 206.7 cases per 100,000 person-years (95% CI, 172.8-246.9) among the PD cohort. Compared to the matched controls, patients with PD were 2.64 times (HR, 2.64; 95% CI, 1.31-5.30) more likely to commit suicide during the first 180 days of follow-up and 2.47 times (HR, 2.47; 95% CI, 1.42-4.28) within the first 365 days of follow-up. During the entire follow-up period, patients with PD were 2.26 times more likely to commit suicide than were their matched controls (HR, 2.26; 95% CI, 1.67-3.06). CONCLUSION Our findings indicated an increased risk of suicide in patients with new-onset PD, regardless of the period after diagnosis. Incorporating mental health care with social and environmental interventions into primary care and PD-specialized care can help reduce suicide risk in people with PD, improving suicide prevention, identification, and risk assessment.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Although evidence is emerging that autoimmunity may be associated with neurodegeneration in glaucoma (beyond intraocular pressure-mediated damage), there is limited evidence connecting rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the most common autoimmune disease, with the risk of developing primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). OBJECTIVE To investigate whether RA is associated with increased risk of POAG among Korean older adults. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A nationwide propensity-matched cohort study was conducted using data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service-Senior cohort from 2002 to 2013. Data analysis was performed from November 2020 to July 2021. EXPOSURES New onset RA. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The main outcome was development of POAG. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the cumulative incidence of POAG, and the incidence rate of POAG was estimated using a Poisson regression. A Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to investigate associations between RA and risk of POAG. RESULTS Among 10 245 participants, 7490 (73.1%) were women, and the mean (SD) age was 67.70 (4.84) years. A total of 2049 patients with incident seropositive RA and 8196 time-dependent, propensity score-matched, risk-set controls were included. POAG developed in 86 of 2049 patients with RA and 254 of 8196 matched controls. The cumulative incidence of POAG was higher in the RA cohort than in the matched controls. In the RA cohort, the incidence rate of POAG was 981.8 cases per 100 000 person years (95% CI, 794.3-1213.7 cases per 100 000 person years), whereas in the matched controls, the incidence rate was 679.5 cases per 100 000 person years (95% CI, 600.8-768.3 cases per 100 000 person years). Patients with RA were more likely to develop POAG than the matched controls (hazard ratio [HR], 1.44; 95% CI, 1.13-1.84). Increased POAG risk in the RA cohort was predominantly observed 2 years into the follow-up period (HR, 1.83; 95% CI, 1.28-2.61) and in those aged 75 years or older (HR, 2.12; 95% CI, 1.34-3.35). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE These findings suggest that RA is associated with a higher risk of developing POAG, especially within 2 years after diagnosis or among patients aged 75 years or older. There may be a common pathophysiological pathway between RA and POAG that is possibly immune mediated, and the nature of this association warrants further investigation.
