Background: A scarcity of data exists concerning atrial fibrillation (AF) during the perioperative stage of non-cardiothoracic surgery, particularly orthopedic surgery. In addition, given the frequency and significant impact of AF in the perioperative period, therefore our aim was to identify prognosis and predictors of elderly hip fracture patients with perioperative AF.
Methods: An examination of hip fracture patients at the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University, who had been hospitalized from January 2018 to October 2020 in succession, was conducted retrospectively.
Article Synopsis
- This study is a retrospective cohort analysis that investigates how cervical disc degeneration relates to disease progression in patients with Hirayama disease, specifically looking at changes in cervical intervertebral disc space height.
- Researchers analyzed data from 35 patients with Hirayama disease and 35 healthy controls, focusing on cervical disc grades and intervertebral space heights from the second to the seventh cervical vertebrae.
- Results showed significant reductions in intervertebral disc height and increased disc degeneration in Hirayama patients, indicating a potential compensatory mechanism at play.*
