ObjectivesTo develop a hospital indicator of resource use for injury admissions.MethodsWe focused on resource use for acute injury care and therefore adopted a hospital perspective. We included patients ≥16 years old with an Injury Severity Score >9 admitted to any of the 57 trauma centers of an inclusive Canadian trauma system from 2014 to 2018. We extracted data from the trauma registry and hospital financial reports and estimated resource use with activity-based costing. We developed risk-adjustment models by trauma center designation level (I/II and III/IV) for the whole sample, traumatic brain injuries, thoraco-abdominal injuries, orthopedic injuries, and patients ≥65 years old. Candidate variables were selected using bootstrap resampling. We performed benchmarking by comparing the adjusted mean cost in each center, obtained using shrinkage estimates, to the provincial mean.ResultsWe included 38 713 patients. The models explained between 12% and 36% (optimism-corrected r2) of the variation in resource use. In the whole sample and in all subgroups, we identified centers with higher- or lower-than-expected resource use across level I/II and III/IV centers.ConclusionsWe propose an algorithm to produce the indicator using data routinely collected in trauma registries to prompt targeted exploration of potential areas for improvement in resource use for injury admissions. The r2 of our models suggest that between 64% and 88% of the variation in resource use for injury care is dictated by factors other than patient baseline risk. 相似文献

IntroductionPatient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) enables the use of computer adaptive testing (CAT). The aim of this prospective cohort study was to compare the most commonly used disease-specific instruments with PROMIS CAT questionnaires in patients with trauma.MethodsAll patients with trauma (ages 18-75) who underwent an operative intervention for an extremity fracture between June 1, 2018, and June 30, 2019, were included. The disease-specific instruments were the Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand for upper extremity fractures and the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) for lower extremity fractures. Pearson’s correlation (r) between the disease-specific instruments and the PROMIS CAT questionnaires (PROMIS Physical Function, PROMIS Pain Interference, and PROMIS Ability to Participate in Social Roles and Activities) was calculated at week 2, week 6, month 3, and month 6. Construct validity and responsiveness were calculated.ResultsA total of 151 patients with an upper extremity fracture and 109 patients with a lower extremity fracture were included. At month 3 and month 6, the correlation was strong between the LEFS and PROMIS Physical Function (r = 0.88 and r = 0.90, respectively), and at month 3, the correlation was strong between the LEFS and PROMIS Social Roles and Activities (r = 0.72). At week 6, month 3, and month 6, there was a strong correlation between the Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand and PROMIS Physical Function (r = 0.74, r = 0.70, and r = 0.76, respectively).ConclusionsThe PROMIS CAT measures are acceptably related to existing non-CAT instruments and may be a useful tool during follow-up after operative interventions for extremity fractures. 相似文献

ObjectivesThe aims of this study were to develop and evaluate a simple index for assessing the risk of fractures after a fall and to propose a selection strategy for identifying elderly individuals at high risk of both falls and fall-related fractures.Study Design and SettingTwo thousand five institutionalized older men and women were assessed for clinical risk factors and then followed up for falls and fall-related fractures for up to 2 years.ResultsOur fracture risk index is derived from seven previously identified significant independent risk factors: weight, lower leg length, balance, cognitive function, type of institution, fracture history, and falls in the past year. The fracture rate was 6.5 times greater in the one-sixth of the falls with the highest index (9.7/100 falls) than in the lowest sixth (1.5/100 falls). Our proposed approach (based on balance, risk of falls, and the fracture risk index) selected a group of older people with high risk of both falls and fall-related fracture. The fracture incidence rate was 144% higher, and the falls incidence rate was 31% higher in the selected residents than in the remainder.ConclusionThe index could help rationalize fracture prevention programs for frail older people. 相似文献

BackgroundArbeitsgemeinschaftfürOsteosynthesefragen (AO) classification is the most frequently used tool to classify intertrochanteric fractures. However, there is limited evidence regarding its reliability. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate inter-observer and intra-observer reliability of the AO-2018 intertrochanteric fracture classification.MethodA retrospective study was conducted in Imam Khomeini Hospital Complex, on radiography of patients who came with intertrochanteric fractures from March 21, 2018, to March 19, 2019. Four orthopedic trauma surgeons assessed 96 anteroposterior pelvic radiographs of intertrochanteric fractures and classified using an AO intertrochanteric fracture classification of 2018. The reading and review of radiography were performed in 2 separate occasions in a 1-month interval. The inter-observer and intra-observer reliability was assessed using kappa statistics.ResultThe level of both mean inter-observer (K =0.322; 95%CI: 0.321–0.323) and intra-observer agreement (K =0.317; 95%CI: 0.314–0.320) in AO intertrochanteric fracture classification subgrouping were not satisfactory. The inter-observer (K =0.61; 95%CI: 0.608–0.611) and intra-observers'' (K=0.560; 95%CI: 0.544–0.566) reliability in AO main groupings showed moderate agreement.ConclusionThe AO classification does not show adequate and acceptable inter-observer and intra-observer reliability and reproducibility. Therefore, it will be hard to base on the AO classification for treatment protocols. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo evaluate the incidence of hip fracture in patients with antipsychotic treatment, comparing it with that of individuals who have not been treated with antipsychotics.DesignRetrospective cohort study of patients treated with antipsychotic drugs (TAP) and patients without known treatment (non-TAP). The observation period was 2006–2014.SiteAll primary care teams in Catalonia of the Catalan Health Institute (ICS).ParticipantsPatients older than 44 years with TAP lasting at least 3 months. Control cohort: random selection of non-TAP patients matching for baseline comorbidities and other variables. A total of 22,010 are analyzed.Main measurements Incidence rate (1000× person-years: PY) of hip fracture in each group (TAP and non-TAP). Cox regression models to estimate adjusted risks (hazard ratio: HR).ResultsThe hip fracture incidence rate was higher in TAP patients (5.83 vs 3.58 fractures per 1000 PY), and is higher in all strata according to sex, age and type of diagnosis. The risk of suffering a hip fracture was 60% higher (HR: 1.60 95% CI: 1.34–1.92) in the TAP group than in the non-TAP group. The risk was higher in the group with schizophrenia (HR: 3.57 95% CI: 1.75–7.30), followed by bipolar disorder (HR: 2.61; 95% CI: 1.39–4.92) and depression (HR: 1.51; 95% CI: 1.21–1.88).ConclusionsPatients with antipsychotic treatment have a higher risk of hip fracture than those who have not been treated with antipsychotics. 相似文献

BackgroundIndividualized patient education can help older people with diabetes to improve their self-care behaviors and effectively manage their disease. Identifying patients'' preferred learning style can be a useful way to optimize learning opportunities. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of education based on Kolb''s learning style on selfcare behaviors of older people with type II diabetes.MethodsThis randomized clinical trial was conducted on 62 older adults with type II diabetes referred to the diabetes center of Imam Reza Hospital in Bojnourd, Iran, from May to November 2020. Participants who met the inclusion criteria were randomly allocated into two groups of intervention (n=34) and control (n=28). Participants in intervention group received the educational intervention based on their learning style (described by Kolb as accommodating, diverging, converging and assimilating) in four 45 minutes-sessions (two sessions per week). In the control group, the same educational content was presented with a lecture and a booklet. Participants in both groups completed the self-care questionnaires before and one month after the intervention.ResultsThe mean self-care scores of the older adult patients with type II diabetes based on Kolb''s learning style after the educational intervention in the intervention and control groups were 58.15 (SD=10.71) and 44.7 (SD=12.12), respectively (P<0.001). Accommodating Kolb''s learning style-based education was most effective in improving self-care practice in older adult patients with type II diabetes (P<0.001).ConclusionEducation based on Kolb''s learning style is effective in improving self-care behaviors of older people with type II diabetes. Therefore, it is suggested to consider Kolb''s learning style in the educational process of older adults with type II diabetes to improve self-care practice in these patients. 相似文献

ObjectivesBisphosphonates (BPs) might have extra benefits in reducing mortality because of their anti-atherosclerotic effects, but studies reported conflicting results. We investigated the association between oral BP use and mortality risk following a major osteoporotic fracture (MOF) in the United Kingdom.DesignThis was a population-based cohort study.Setting and ParticipantsIn total, 163,273 adults aged 50 years and older with an MOF between 2000 and 2018 from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink in the United Kingdom.MethodsCox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the risk of all-cause mortality in current (0‒6 months), recent (7‒12 months), and past (>1 year) exposures to oral BPs after nonhip MOF and hip fracture. In addition, stratification by sex, BP type, and duration of follow-up was performed.ResultsCompared with never users of oral BPs, current BP use was associated with a 7% higher all-cause mortality risk after nonhip MOF, whereas a 28% lower all-cause mortality risk was observed after hip fracture. Past BP exposure was associated with a 14% and 42% lower risk after nonhip MOF and hip fracture, respectively. When considering only the first 5 years of follow-up, mortality risk associated with current BP use was significantly lower for both fracture groups, and the greatest reduction in mortality risk was observed within the first year. Women had slightly lower risk compared with men.Conclusions and ImplicationsWe found a slight increased risk of all-cause mortality with current BP exposure after a nonhip MOF; however, a protective effect was observed following a hip fracture. Both the timing and the effect size of an association based on the anti-atherosclerotic hypothesis of BPs are not supported by our results. The decreasing trend of the mortality risk with shorter durations of follow-up suggests that the observed association is likely due to unknown distortion or unknown pleiotropic properties of BPs. 相似文献

A 65-year-old woman who habitually made flexion-extension movements with her cervical vertebral column (so-called 'headbanging') was seen with complaints of the neck. X-rays of the neck revealed an odontoid fracture. Bone densitometry revealed lowered bone mineral density (osteopenia). The diagnosis was odontoid fracture due to headbanging, in the presence of osteopenia. Patient recovered after treatment with a neck collar worn for 6 months. 相似文献

ObjectiveMajor life changes can trigger a traumatic stress response in older adults causing trauma symptoms to resurface. In 2019, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services released the requirement, without specific guidance, for trauma-informed care (TIC) as part of person-centered care in long-term care.DesignObservational, cross-sectional.Setting and ParticipantsA total of 722 new admissions at one nursing home in metro Atlanta between November 2019 and July 2021.MethodsWe developed a “TRAUMA” framework for TIC screening based on Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration resources. The admissions nurse conducted TIC screening within 48 hours of new admissions, including reported trauma and necessary modifications to care plans. Demographic information was derived from electronic records. Analysis included independent sample t-tests, binary logistic regression, and χ2 tests. All data were analyzed using SPSS v. 28.ResultsOf 722 new admissions, 45 (6.2%) indicated experiencing trauma. There was no significant association with being Black or non-White and experiencing trauma, but there was a significant association with being female and experiencing trauma (χ2 (1) = 5.206, P = .022). Only men reported child physical abuse and war trauma and only women reported adult sexual assault, child sexual assault, adult domestic violence, school or community violence, adult nonintimate partner violence, and other trauma. There was a small, significant negative association of age and trauma (β = ?0.037; SE = 0.11; P < .001). The most-reported trauma category was medical trauma, including COVID-related trauma. More than half (51%) requested spiritual intervention and only 2 requested medical intervention with medication as initial interventions.Conclusions and ImplicationsOur experience suggests that knowing the patient and their trauma history allowed the admissions nurse and interdisciplinary care team to modify the person-centered care plan to best meet the patient's needs. Our results also emphasize the need for using universal trauma precautions in all interactions. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo model how to select the optimal pair of type I and type II errors that maximize study value when there are constrains on the available study sample size.Study Design and SettingCorrect inferences [true positives (TPs) and true negatives (TNs)] increase and wrong inferences (false positives and false negatives) decrease the value of a study. We model the composite value of a study based on these four inferences, their relative importance, and relative frequency using multiplicative and additive models. Numerical examples are presented for randomized trials, epidemiologic studies, and agnostic omics investigations with massive testing and variable sample size constraints.ResultsThe optimal choice of type I and type II errors varies a lot according to the available sample size and the plausible effect sizes in each field. We show how equations can be streamlined for special applications: when the value of all four inferences is considered equal, when the identification of TNs carries no value, and when a study carries no value unless at least one TP is discovered.ConclusionThe proposed optimization equations can be used to guide the selection of the optimal type I and type II errors of future studies in which sample size is constrained. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo devise and test techniques to blind outcome assessors in trials of hip fracture fixation.Study Design and SettingWe developed three techniques (Blackout, Subtraction, and Overlay) to mask radiographs of hip fractures fixated with cancellous screws or dynamic hip screws. Fifty orthopedic trauma surgeons each assessed 32 radiographs blinded with each technique.ResultsAll techniques achieved low rates of correct identification of screw type (14.9% for Blackout, 26.9% for Subtraction, 22.1% for Overlay) and high proportions of “don't know” responses (72.3%, 48.4%, 52.8%, respectively). The interrater reliability of reduction quality in the blinded images (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] = 0.55–0.57) was similar to the reliability of the unblinded radiographs (ICC = 0.60). Surgeons perceived 6.9% of the Overlay images as much more difficult to rate than unblinded radiographs, compared with 9.7% of Subtraction images (P = 0.25) and 28.0% of Blackout images (P < 0.001).ConclusionThree techniques of blinding radiographs of femoral neck fractures successfully mask surgeons to the type of implant fixated, do not compromise reliability of reduction ratings, and do not make rating most radiographs more difficult. Trialists should explore creative approaches to optimize blinding when designing trials, and should incorporate rigorous approaches to testing blinding success. 相似文献

ObjectiveFalls cause significant morbidity and mortality in long term care facilities. Dual-stiffness flooring (DSF) has previously shown promise in reducing such morbidity in experimental models. This study set out to measure the impact of SmartCell flooring on falls-related morbidity in a nursing home.MethodsAll falls occurring at an Arizona nursing home between July 1, 2008, and December 31, 2010, were reviewed for age, sex, diagnosis of osteoporosis, number of medications, history of previous falls, type of flooring (normal vs DSF), time of day, type of injury, and resulting actions. Fall-related outcomes were compared across room types using chi-square and logistic regression methods.ResultsEighty-two falls on the DSF were compared with 85 falls on the regular floor. There was a tendency for residents falling on DSF to have less bruising and abrasions, while having more redness and cuts. There were 2 fractures on regular flooring (2.4% fracture rate) and none on the DSF flooring (0% fracture rate).ConclusionsThe fracture rate of 2.4% of falls on the regular floor is consistent with previous reports in the literature, whereas a 0% rate found on the DSF floor is a clinically significant improvement. This suggests that DSF may be a practical approach for institutions and consumers to reduce fall-related injuries. A larger scale controlled study to confirm these encouraging preliminary findings is warranted. 相似文献

BackgroundAvailable data on the burden of Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I/II infection for eastern Africa, limited to Ethiopia, Mozambique, and Rwanda, show prevalence lower than elsewhere in Africa (0% – 1.8%). Even if Tropical Spastic Paraparesis occurs in an endemic form in Ethiopia, its seroprevalence is low. Over a lifetime, it is estimated that 1–2% of Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I/ II -infected individuals will develop progressive and disabling inflammatory clinical manifestations. We are reporting this case since it signifies the existence of seropositive Tropical Spastic Paraparesis in our setting and the need to properly diagnose this condition.Case PresentationWe are reporting a 45 years old female patient from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, who presented with progressive weakness of the lower limbs and urinary urge incontinence of five years duration. Serology for Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I/ II antibody was positive. She was diagnosed to have probable tropical spastic paraparesis after fulfilling World Health Organization diagnostic criteria for tropical spastic paraparesis with the level of ascertainment. Symptoms showed transient improvements after providing five days of Methylprednisolone followed by low doses of corticosteroids and Azathioprine. The patient is now significantly disabled and wheelchair-bound.ConclusionsThe patient described here signifies a probable Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I/ II - associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis in Ethiopian women. This case highlights the existence of Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I/II - associated myelopathy/ tropical spastic paraparesis within our setting and the need to properly diagnose this condition. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo investigate early predictors for discharge to a geriatric rehabilitation department at a skilled nursing home in older patients after hospitalization for hip fracture surgery.DesignRetrospective cohort study.Setting and ParticipantsData from 21,176 patients with hip fracture aged ≥70 years, who were registered in the Dutch Hip Fracture Audit database between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2019, were included.MethodsPatients were categorized into 3 discharge groups: home (n=7326), rehabilitation (n=11,738), and nursing home (n=2112). Age, gender, Pre-Fracture Mobility Score (PFMS), premorbid Katz index of independence in Activities of Daily Living (Katz-ADL), history of dementia, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification (ASA score), type of anesthesia, fracture type, surgical treatment, and cotreatment by a geriatrician were gathered. Multinomial regression analysis was used to assess for early predictors.ResultsHigher age, poor premorbid mobility, lower premorbid Katz-ADL, no history of dementia, ASA score 3-5, general anesthesia, intramedullary implant, and cotreatment by a geriatrician were independent predictors for discharge to geriatric rehabilitation vs discharge home. Identical predictors were found for discharge to a nursing home vs discharge home. History of dementia and premorbid Katz-ADL were distinguishing factors; a higher premorbid Katz-ADL and a history of dementia were associated with a higher risk of discharge to a nursing home vs discharge home. The multinomial regression model correctly predicted 86%, 38.6%, and 2.4% of the patients in the rehabilitation group, home group, and nursing home group, respectively.Conclusions and ImplicationsThis study showed that age, PFMS, premorbid Katz-ADL, surgical treatment, ASA score, type of anesthesia, history of dementia, and cotreatment by a geriatrician were independent early predictors for discharge to geriatric rehabilitation vs discharge home in older patients after hip fracture surgery. Identical predictors were found as predictors for discharge to a nursing home vs discharge home, except for history of dementia and premorbid Katz-ADL. 相似文献

ObjectivesOrthostatic hypotension, characterized by delayed blood pressure (BP) recovery after standing, is a risk factor for falls but the longitudinal relationship with fracture is not yet known. The aim of this study was to examine the prospective risk of fracture associated with delayed BP recovery.DesignLongitudinal study with 8-year follow-up.Setting and ParticipantsMore than 3000 (54% female) community-dwelling people aged ≥50 years from a large longitudinal study on ageing.MethodsOrthostatic BP was measured using a finometer when standing from lying. Delayed BP recovery was defined as systolic BP ≥20 mm Hg lower and/or diastolic BP ≥10 mm Hg from the baseline value at 30, 60, and 90 seconds after standing. Participants with a fracture reported at any of waves 2 to 5 were defined as having incident fracture. Logistic regression models were used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) for the association between delayed BP recovery and incident fracture.ResultsSeven percent (212/3117) of participants sustained a fracture during follow-up. Delayed BP recovery at 30 seconds was a significant predictor of any fracture [OR 1.80, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.28-2.53] and hip fracture (OR 4.44, 95% CI 2.03-9.71) in fully adjusted models. Delayed BP recovery at 30 seconds did not predict wrist or vertebral fracture. Delayed BP recovery at 60 seconds also predicted any fracture (OR 1.74, 95% CI 1.19-2.54) and hip fracture (OR 4.66, 95% CI 2.12-10.26) whereas delayed BP recovery at 90 seconds predicted any (OR 1.99, 95% CI 1.38-2.87), wrist (OR 1.87, 95% CI 1.19-2.95), and hip fracture (OR 3.39, 95% CI 1.45-7.93) in fully adjusted models.Conclusionand Implications: Delayed BP recovery independently predicts fracture in community-dwelling older people, is potentially modifiable, and can be measured in an ambulatory setting. Because of the morbidity and mortality associated with fractures, identification of such risk factors is crucial in order to inform preventative strategies. 相似文献
