Project description:ObjectiveOlder patients with hip fractures who are undergoing surgery are at high risk of significant mortality and morbidity including postoperative delirium. It is unclear whether different types of anaesthesia may reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium. This systematic review will investigate the impact of anaesthetic technique on postoperative delirium. Other outcomes included mortality, length of stay, complications and functional outcomes.DesignSystematic review of randomised controlled trials and non-randomised controlled studies.Data sourcesBibliographic databases were searched from inception to June 2018. Web of Science and ZETOC databases were searched for conference proceedings. Reference lists of relevant articles were checked, and clinical trial registers were searched to identify ongoing trials.Eligibility criteriaStudies were eligible if general and regional anaesthesia were compared in patients (aged 60 and over) undergoing hip fracture surgery, reporting primary outcome of postoperative delirium and secondary outcomes of mortality, length of hospital stay, adverse events, functional outcomes, discharge location and quality of life. Exclusion criteria were anaesthetic technique or drug not considered current standard practice; patients undergoing hip fracture surgery alongside other surgery and uncontrolled studies.ResultsOne hundred and four studies were included. There was no evidence to suggest that anaesthesia type influences postoperative delirium or mortality. Some studies suggested a small reduction in length of hospital stay with regional anaesthesia. There was some evidence to suggest that respiratory complications and intraoperative hypotension were more common with general anaesthesia. Heterogeneity precluded meta-analysis. All findings were described narratively and data were presented where possible in forest plots for illustrative purposes.ConclusionsWhile there was no evidence to suggest that anaesthesia types influence postoperative delirium, the evidence base is lacking. There is a need to ascertain the impact of type of anaesthesia on outcomes with an adequately powered, methodologically rigorous study.Prospero registration numberCRD42015020166.

Project description:Importance:Although wait times for hip fracture surgery have been linked to mortality and are being used as quality-of-care indicators worldwide, controversy exists about the duration of the wait that leads to complications. Objective:To use population-based wait-time data to identify the optimal time window in which to conduct hip fracture surgery before the risk of complications increases. Design, Setting, and Participants:Population-based, retrospective cohort study of adults undergoing hip fracture surgery between April 1, 2009, and March 31, 2014, at 72 hospitals in Ontario, Canada. Risk-adjusted restricted cubic splines modeled the probability of each complication according to wait time. The inflection point (in hours) when complications began to increase was used to define early and delayed surgery. To evaluate the robustness of this definition, outcomes among propensity-score matched early and delayed surgical patients were compared using percent absolute risk differences (RDs, with 95% CIs). Exposure:Time elapsed from hospital arrival to surgery (in hours). Main Outcomes and Measures:Mortality within 30 days. Secondary outcomes included a composite of mortality or other medical complications (myocardial infarction, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and pneumonia). Results:Among 42 230 patients with hip fracture (mean [SD] age, 80.1 years [10.7], 70.5% women) who met study entry criteria, overall mortality at 30 days was 7.0%. The risk of complications increased when wait times were greater than 24 hours, irrespective of the complication considered. Compared with 13 731 propensity-score matched patients who received surgery earlier, 13 731 patients who received surgery after 24 hours had a significantly higher risk of 30-day mortality (898 [6.5%] vs 790 [5.8%]; % absolute RD, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.23-1.35) and the composite outcome (1680 [12.2%]) vs 1383 [10.1%]; % absolute RD, 2.16; 95% CI, 1.43-2.89). Conclusions and Relevance:Among adults undergoing hip fracture surgery, increased wait time was associated with a greater risk of 30-day mortality and other complications. A wait time of 24 hours may represent a threshold defining higher risk.

Project description:ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of anesthesia type on the risk of in-hospital mortality among adults undergoing hip fracture surgery in the United States.DesignRetrospective cohort study.SettingPremier research database, United States.Participants73,284 adults undergoing hip fracture surgery on hospital day 2 or greater between 2007 and 2011. Of those, 61,554 (84.0%) received general anesthesia, 6939 (9.5%) regional anesthesia, and 4791 (6.5%) combined general and regional anesthesia.Main outcome measureIn-hospital all cause mortality.ResultsIn-hospital deaths occurred in 1362 (2.2%) patients receiving general anesthesia, 144 (2.1%) receiving regional anesthesia, and 115 (2.4%) receiving combined anesthesia. In the multivariable adjusted analysis, when compared with general anesthesia the mortality risk did not differ significantly between regional anesthesia (risk ratio 0.93, 95% confidence interval 0.78 to 1.11) or combined anesthesia (1.00, 0.82 to 1.22). A mixed effects analysis accounting for differences between hospitals produced similar results: compared with general anesthesia the risk from regional anesthesia was 0.91 (0.75 to 1.10) and from combined anesthesia was 0.98 (0.79 to 1.21). Findings were also consistent in subgroup analyses.ConclusionsIn this large nationwide sample of hospital admissions, mortality risk did not differ significantly by anesthesia type among patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. Our results suggest that if the previously posited beneficial effect of regional anesthesia on short term mortality exists, it is likely to be more modest than previously reported.

Project description:BackgroundCareful administration of either spinal (intrathecal) or general anaesthesia probably has a greater impact on outcomes after hip fracture surgery than which method is used per se. Intraoperative hypotension is associated with poorer outcomes, but appears less prevalent using lower doses of spinal anaesthesia.MethodsIn this observational single-centre study, intraoperative noninvasive blood pressure data were analysed from 280 patients undergoing unilateral hip fracture surgery after the administration of hyperbaric spinal bupivacaine 0.5%, 1.3 ml (0.65 mg).ResultsMean cohort mean arterial pressure (MAP) remained within 10% of baseline (spinal injection) MAP for 97/98 (99.0%) subsequent aggregated 1-min recording intervals. The prevalences of lowest MAP <70 mm Hg and <55 mm Hg were significantly lower than historical equivalents (Anaesthesia Sprint Audit of Practice 1 and 2) (52.9% and 10.4% vs 71.9% and 23.8%, respectively, both <0.0001). The proportions of 10 551 MAP readings <70 mm Hg and <55 mm Hg were 6.7% and 0.4%, respectively. Forty-five (16.1%) patients had relatively persistent hypotension (MAP ≤70 mm Hg for five or more intraoperative readings), and were statistically more likely to be frail (Nottingham Hip Fracture Score ≥7/10, 37.8% vs 19.6%, P=0.0109) and be taking alpha-/beta-blockers (44.4% vs 24.3%, P=0.0099) than the remaining 'normotensive' cohort. Surgical anaesthesia remained effective for up to 190 min, with only one patient requiring supplemental local anaesthesia during skin closure.ConclusionsLow doses of hyperbaric spinal 0.5% bupivacaine (1.3 ml, 6.5 mg) are associated with minimal reductions in blood pressure during surgery and provide adequate duration of surgical anaesthesia. Randomised comparisons of lower vs higher/standard doses of spinal anaesthesia are now required to confirm outcome benefits in this vulnerable patient group.Clinical trial registrationNCT05799300.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:Understand the experience of older adults after hip fracture surgery considering barriers and facilitators related to sedentary behavior. METHODS:A qualitative study using a semi-structured interview with three men and eight women aged 60 years or older after hip fracture surgery. RESULTS:Five barriers emerged: physical complaints, lack of accessibility, fear of falling, demotivation and negative social representation of old age, and two facilitators: overcoming dependency and having a caregiver. CONCLUSION:Our results highlight that physical complaints commonly addressed by physical therapists on their interventions are not the only impediments to reduce sedentary behavior. Important individual and social barriers should not be neglected when physical therapists conduct interventions to reduce sedentary behavior to maximize functional recovery in older adults after hip fracture surgery. Future clinical trials are required to investigate the effectiveness of more comprehensive interventions to reduce sedentary behavior in this population.

Project description:BackgroundHip fractures require extended periods of recovery and rehabilitation, subjecting older adults to discontinuous care. Discharge transition is a critical point of heightened vulnerability for older adults.AimsThis study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a transitional care programme on the physical functions and quality of life (QOL) of older adults after hip fracture surgery.MethodsSeventy-five older adults were assessed from pre-discharge to 6 weeks after hip surgery, and their physical functions, including walking status and activities of daily living, were measured. The QOL was measured using the European Quality of life-5 Dimensions-5 Levels (EQ 5D 5L).ResultsThere was a significant strong effect of time (B = 10.565; 95% CI = 2.584-18.547; p = 0.009) on the EuroQol Visual Analog Scale (EQ-VAS) for the experimental group. However, there were no significant effects of time on physical functions and EQ-5D-5L scores.ConclusionsThe discharge transitional care programme improved the EQ-VAS of older adults following hip fracture surgery 6 weeks post-surgery. However, there were no significant differences in physical functions and EQ-5D between the groups.

Project description:Background and purpose - The operative treatment of hip fractures in Norway has changed considerably during the last decade. We used data in the Norwegian Hip Fracture Register to investigate possible effects of these changes on reoperations and 1-year mortality. Patients and methods - 72,741 femoral neck (FFN) fractures and trochanteric fractures in patients 60 years or older were analyzed. The fractures were divided into 5 time periods (2005-2006, 2007-2008, 2009-2010, 2011-2012, 2013-2014). Cox regression models were used to calculate unadjusted and adjusted (age group, sex, and ASA class) relative risks (RRs) of reoperation and of 1-year mortality in the different time periods. Results - For undisplaced FFNs treatment with hemiarthroplasty increased from 2.1% to 9.7% during the study period. For displaced FFNs treatment with arthroplasty increased from 56% to 93%. The use of intramedullary nails increased from 9.1% to 26% for stable 2-fragment (AO/OTA A1) trochanteric fractures, from 15% to 33% for multifragment (AO/OTA A2) trochanteric fractures, and from 27% to 61% for intertrochanteric fractures (AO/OTA A3)/subtrochanteric fractures. Compared with the first time period the adjusted 1-year RR for reoperation was 0.43 (95% CI: 0.37-0.49) for displaced FFNs in the last time period. The adjusted 1-year mortality in the last time period was lower for all fractures (RR: 0.87 (0.83-0.91)), displaced FFNs (RR: 0.86 (0.80-0.93)), AO/OTA A1 trochanteric fractures (RR: 0.79 (0.71-0.88)), and AO/OTA A2 trochanteric fractures (RR: 0.87 (0.77-0.98)) when compared with the first study period. Interpretation - Hip fracture treatment in Norway has improved: The risk of reoperation and the 1-year mortality after displaced femoral neck fractures have decreased over a 10-year period. National registration is useful to monitor trends in treatment and outcomes after hip fractures.

Project description:ObjectiveTo determine whether mobilisation timing was associated with the cumulative incidence of hospital discharge by 30 days after hip fracture surgery, accounting for potential confounders and the competing risk of in-hospital death.MethodWe examined data for 135,105 patients 60 years or older who underwent surgery for nonpathological first hip fracture between 1 January 2014 and 31 December 2016 in any hospital in England or Wales. We tested whether the cumulative incidences of discharge differed between those mobilised early (within 36 h of surgery) and those mobilised late, accounting for potential confounders and the competing risk of in-hospital death.ResultsA total of 106,722 (79%) of patients first mobilised early. The average rate of discharge was 39.2 (95% CI 38.9-39.5) per 1,000 patient days, varying from 43.1 (95% CI 42.8-43.5) among those who mobilised early to 27.0 (95% CI 26.6-27.5) among those who mobilised late, accounting for the competing risk of death. By 30-day postoperatively, the crude and adjusted odds ratios of discharge were 2.36 (95% CI 2.29-2.43) and 2.08 (95% CI 2.00-2.16), respectively, among those who first mobilised early compared with those who mobilised late, accounting for the competing risk of death.ConclusionEarly mobilisation led to a 2-fold increase in the adjusted odds of discharge by 30-day postoperatively. We recommend inclusion of mobilisation within 36 h of surgery as a new UK Best Practice Tariff to help reduce delays to mobilisation currently experienced by one-fifth of patients surgically treated for hip fracture.
