Methods: This study used a retrospective analysis of Medicare fee-for-service claims from older adults (≥65 years) in the National Health and Aging Trends Study (2011-2017) with ≥1 HHPT visit within 30 days of a hospitalization (n = 1344 hospitalizations; weighted n = 7,727,384). An exploratory analysis of home health claim distribution was conducted to determine definitions of frontloaded HHPT.
Objective: To evaluate risk factors for infection in severe open tibial shaft fractures.
Methods: A secondary analysis of a multicenter prospective study investigated internal versus external fixation of severe open tibia fractures at 20 US Level I trauma centers. Adult patients, aged <65 years, with a Gustilo-Anderson Type IIIB or severe IIIA metaphyseal or diaphyseal tibia fracture were included.
