Objective To observe the clinical application of multidisciplinary team (MDT) treatment in the management of geriatric hip fractures and evaluate its effectiveness. Methods The clinical data of 76 elderly patients with hip fracture managed by MDT approach between August 2016 and February 2018 (MDT group) were retrospectively analyzed and compared with 102 patients managed by traditional orthopedics approach between January 2014 and December 2015 (conventional group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, fracture type, surgical procedure, and other general data between the two groups (P>0.05). However, the number of comorbidities in the MDT group was significantly higher than that in the conventional group (t=6.295, P=0.000), and the proportion of the number of comorbidities between the two groups was also significantly different (χ2=28.442, P=0.000). The consultation rate and transfer rate, time to surgery, rate of surgery within 2 or 3 days, operation time, postoperative hospitalization stay, length of hospitalization stay, hospitalization expense, rate of loss to follow-up, and mortality during hospitalization, 30-day mortality, 90-day mortality, and 1-year mortality after operation were compared between the two groups. Results The rates of total consultations of the conventional group and the MDT group were 56.86% (58/102) and 56.58% (43/76), respectively, and the rates of total transferred patients were 15.69% (16/102) and 15.79% (12/76), respectively, with no significant differences (P>0.05). Among them, the proportion of patients who transferred into intensive care unit (ICU) in conventional group was significantly higher than that in MDT group and the rates of patients who received geriatric consultation or transferred into geriatric department in MDT group were both significantly higher than those in conventional group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in rates of other department consultation or transfer between the two groups (P>0.05). The time to surgery, operation time, postoperative hospitalization stay, and length of hospitalization stay in MDT group were significantly less than those in conventional group, but the proportion of patients who received surgery within 3 days in MDT group was significantly higher than that in conventional group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the proportion of patients who received surgery within 2 days (χ2=2.027, P=0.155). The hospitalization expenses of total patients, femoral neck fracture, and intertrochanteric fracture subgroups in MDT group were all significantly higher than those in conventional group (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in hospitalization expense of subtrochanteric fracture subgroup between the two groups (Z=−1.715, P=0.086). The rate of loss to follow-up in conventional group and MDT group was 6.86% (7/102) and 3.95% (3/76), respectively, with no significant difference (χ2=0.698, P=0.403). The mortalities at hospitalization, 1 month, 3 months, and 1 year after operation in conventional group were 0, 1.05% (1/95), 3.16% (3/95), and 7.37% (7/95), respectively, and in MDT group were 0, 0, 2.74% (2/73), 6.85% (5/73), respectively, showing no significant differences in mortalities between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion MDT model in the management of geriatric hip fractures has been shown to reduce time to surgery, postoperative hospitalization stay, length of hospitalization stay, operation time, and the proportion of patients who received ICU consultation or transferred into ICU. Furthermore, MDT can improve the capacity for developing operations for patients with complex medical conditions and make medical resources used more rationally.

Objective To review the progress of perioperative treatments for patients of Parkinson’s disease and hip fractures. Methods The related literature of treatments for patients of Parkinson’s disease and hip fractures were reviewed and analyzed from the aspects such as the perioperative management, selection of operation ways, and prognosis. Results The patients of Parkinson’s disease are more likely to sustain hip fractures because of postural instability and osteoporosis. The perioperative treatments for patients of Parkinson’s disease and hip fractures should be determined by orthopedists, neurologist, anesthesiologist, and physical therapist. There is still controversy about the selection of operation and surgical approach. And the prognosis of patients of Parkinson’s disease and hip fractures are associated with the severity of Parkinson’s disease. Conclusion There are few clinical studies about the patients of Parkinson’s disease and hip fractures. The mid-term and long-term functional outcomes of patients of Parkinson’s disease and hip fractures are unsufficient. And the best treatments of patients of Parkinson’s disease and hip fractures need to be further explored.
ObjectiveTo summarize the research progress of multidisciplinary team (MDT) co-management models in the clinical treatment of geriatric hip fractures.MethodsThe literature about types and characteristics of MDT for geriatric hip fracture treatment were extensively reviewed, and the advantages of its clinical application were analysed and summarised. Finally, the MDT model and characteristics of geriatric hip fracture in the Zhongda Hospital affiliated to Southeast University were introduced in detail.ResultsClinical models of MDT are diverse and have their own characteristics, and MDT can shorten the length of stay and waiting time before operation, reduce the incidence of internal complications, save labor costs, and reduce patient mortality.ConclusionThe application of MDT in the treatment of geriatric hip fracture has achieved remarkable results, which provides an optimal scheme for the treatment of geriatric hip fracture.
Objective To explore the clinical effect of multidisciplinary team (MDT) in elderly patients with hip fracture under the model of close-type medical alliance. Methods The elderly patients with hip fracture treated in the Department of Orthopedics of Deyang People’s Hospital between January 2015 and December 2020 were included retrospectively. According to different treatment modes, the patients were divided into traditional mode treatment group (traditional group) and MDT mode treatment group (MDT group). The waiting time for operation, hospitalization time after operation, total hospitalization time, total hospitalization cost, and death and loss of follow-up were analyzed. Results A total of 661 patients were enrolled, including 275 in the traditional group and 386 in the MDT group. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of gender, age, Charlson comorbidity index, types of fracture or surgical methods (P>0.05). The waiting time for operation [5.50 (3.50, 7.50) vs. 6.00 (4.00, 6.00) d; Z=−3.473, P=0.001], hospitalization time after operation [7.44 (6.27, 8.67) vs. 8.34 (6.72, 13.70) d; Z=−4.996, P<0.001] and total hospitalization time [12.95 (10.46, 16.30) vs. 15.49 (11.77, 19.91) d; Z=−5.718, P<0.001] in the MDT group were shorter than those in the traditional group. The total hospitalization cost of the MDT group was higher than that of the traditional group, but the difference was not statistically significant [39 300 (33 400, 46 400) vs. 38 000 (31 800, 44 000) Yuan; Z=1.524, P=0.128]. There was no significant difference in the lost follow-up rate between the traditional group and the MDT group (9.82% vs. 6.48%; χ2=2.474, P=0.116). Except in-hospital mortality and 30-day postoperative mortality (P>0.05), there was significant difference between the traditional group and the MDT group in 6-month (6.45% vs. 2.77%; χ2=4.875, P=0.027) and 1-year (11.29% vs. 6.37%; χ2=4.636, P=0.031) postoperative mortality. Conclusion Under the model of close-type medical alliance, MDT can reduce the waiting time for operation, hospitalization time after operation, total hospitalization time, as well as 6-month and 1-year postoperative mortality.
Objective To compare the risk of bone fractures in proton pump inhibitor users and nonusers, so as to evaluate the effects of proton pump inhibitors on the risk of bone fractures. Methods We searched PubMed, MEDLINE and EMbase databases to March 1st 2011 to identify case-control studies or cohort studies evaluating the risk of fracture in proton pump inhibitor users and nonusers. We conducted systematic review and meta-analysis according to the fracture site, duration of exposure, average daily dose and time of last use. Summary odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated by RevMan 5.0.25 software. We also calculated and looked for heterogeneity. Results Eleven studies were identified from ten literatures, including seven case-control studies and four cohort studies. In case-control studies, the risk of total fractures increased by 36% in proton pump inhibitor users as compared with nonusers (OR=1.36, 95%CI 1.20 to 1.55). The risk of hip fracture increased by 39% (OR=1.39, 95%CI 1.13 to 1.71). In cohort studies, the risk of total fractures increased by 59% (OR=1.59, 95%CI 1.47 to 1.73). The risk of non-hip fractures increased by 65% (OR=1.65, 95%CI 1.47 to 1.85). As compared with nonusers, fracture risk increased by 41% in current users and by 38% in past users whose last use was at least 1 year ago. There was no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion Proton pump inhibitors increase the risk of fracture to a certain degree. The effect does not fade away by discontinuation of PPI use for at least one year. Stricter clinical trials are needed to exclude confounding factors.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of early preoperative mobilization on the rehabilitation of the elderly patients with hip fractures after operation.MethodsThe clinical data of 16 elderly patients with hip fractures between February 2017 and April 2018 who met the selection criteria was retrospectively analyzed. There were 8 males and 8 females, with an average age of 80.3 years (range, 69-90 years). There were 8 cases of intertrochanteric fracture and 8 cases of femoral neck fracture. The preoperative American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scored 2.94±0.43. There were 3 cases of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, 6 cases of essential hypertension, 5 cases of respiratory diseases, 3 cases of diabetes, and 2 cases of other system diseases. The time from injury to admission was 4 hours to 14 days with an average of 39.5 hours. On the day of admission or on the first day after admission, the patient started to exercise on the floor underwent analgesia treatment. And the patients were treated with closed reduction (9 cases) or artificial hip arthroplasty (7 cases). The time from admission to operation was 4 to 25 days, with an average of 7.4 days. At the time of admission, after the first ground movement before operation, on the second day after operation, and at last follow-up, the Barthel Index was used to assess the patients’ self-care ability, and Barthel effectiveness (BE) was calculated. The complications were observed and recorded during follow-up.ResultsAll 16 patients underwent operation successfully. The hospital stay was 8 to 24 days, with an average of 14.1 days. All patients were followed up 2.5-16.0 months with an average of 6.5 months. One patient developed postoperative pulmonary infection; the remaining patients had no surgical-related complications. No patient died during the follow-up. The Barthel Index scored 30.63±5.56 at admission, 53.13±9.50 after the first ground movement before operation, 60.63±6.09 on the second day after operation, and 96.25±4.84 at last follow-up. There were significant differences in Barthel Index scores between different time points (P<0.05). The BE was 0.23±0.06 after the first ground movement before operation, 0.30±0.04 on the second day after operation, and 0.66±0.06 at last follow-up. There were significant differences in BE between different time points (P<0.05).ConclusionFor elderly patients with hip fractures who have long waiting time before operation, early preoperative mobilization has a positive impact on patients’ activities of daily living.
ObjectiveTo introduce the clinical pathway for geriatric hip fracture regulated by our hospital and report the five-year outcomes after the implementation of the pathway. MethodsThe geriatric hip fracture patients treated between September 2003 and August 2012 were followed up. We did not implement the clinical pathway until January 2007. Statistical analysis was done to evaluate the effect of the clinical pathway on patient outcomes by comparing rate of complication, mortality, and length of hospital stay before and after the implementation of the clinical pathway. ResultsAfter the implementation of the pathway, the in-hospital mortality, one-year mortality and the rate of complication were significantly lower. Besides, the time from admission to operation and the total length of stay in hospital were obviously shortened. ConclusionThe use of clinical pathway for geriatric hip fracture can reduce the rate of complication and mortality, and shorten hospital stay, and the five-year outcomes after the implementation of the pathway are satisfying.
Hip fracture in the elderly is a disease with a high mortality rate and a high complication rate. Its main treatment method is surgery. The concept of enhanced recovery after surgery runs through the perioperative period of elderly patients with hip fracture. Elderly patients with hip fracture should be scheduled for surgery as soon as possible after admission to enhance postoperative functional recovery. Preoperative ambulation and postoperative exercise can reduce postoperative complications and mortality, shorten the length of hospital stay, and promote functional recovery.
ObjectiveTo investigate the value of chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) score in evaluating the severity of hip fracture-induced early acute lung injury (ALI) in the elderly patients.MethodsThe clinical data of 289 elderly hip fracture patients in Chongqing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from July 2014 to April 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into two groups, including an ALI group (n=114, 36 males and 78 females at age of 82.94±6.85 years) and a non-ALI group (n=175, 51 males and 124 females at age of 84.42±6.31 years). General information, chest HRCT scores and PaO2/FiO2 were compared between the two groups. Correlation analysis was used to compare the relationship between chest HRCT scores and PaO2/FiO2. Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis was applied to evaluate the effective extent of the diffuse ground glass opacity (DGGO), intense parenchymal opacification (IPO), and reticulation HRCT scores to the overall HRCT scores.ResultsThe DGGO scores, IPO scores, reticulation scores, overall HRCT scores and PaO2/FiO2 were higher in the ALI group than those in the non-ALI group (P<0.001). In the ALI group, correlation analysis showed that DGGO, overall HRCT scores were in significantly negative correlation with PaO2/FiO2 (P<0.001). In addition, the correlation among PaO2/FiO2 and overall HRCT scores was more significant than that of DGGO scores. Multiple stepwise regression analysis indicated that DGGO, IPO, and reticulation scores were independent influencing factors for overall HRCT scores. Among the influencing factors, DGGO scores had the greatest impact, then IPO scores and reticulation scores. The HRCT signs of DGGO, IPO, and reticulation appeared simultaneously had the greatest effects on the overall HRCT scores.ConclusionThe chest HRCT score, which is associated with PaO2/FiO2, also can be used in the severity assessment of elderly patients with early ALI caused by hip fracture.
