Impact of Stroke History on the Risk of Recurrent Hip Fracture or Major Osteoporotic Fractures among Patients with Incident Hip Fracture: A Nationwide Cohort Study.

Considerable uncertainty prevails regarding risk factors for recurrent fracture among older patients with hip fracture. We aimed to investigate the relationship between prefracture stroke history, baseline mobility, and the risk of recurrent hip fracture. This cohort study was based on the Danish Multidisciplinary Hip Fracture Registry, 2011-2018 (n = 48,230).

The Interaction Effect Between Previous Stroke and Hip Fracture on Postoperative Mortality: A Nationwide Cohort Study.

Purpose: It remains uncertain how a history of stroke impacts the prognosis for patients with hip fracture. This study aimed to evaluate mortality following hip fracture surgery by comparing patients with and without a history of stroke.

Patients And Methods: All patients aged 65 years or above in Denmark receiving hip fracture surgery between 2010 and 2018.

Development and validation of a model for predicting mortality in patients with hip fracture.

Objective: to develop a user-friendly prediction tool of 1-year mortality for patients with hip fracture, in order to guide clinicians and patients on appropriate targeted preventive measures.

Design: population-based cohort study from 2011 to 2017 using nationwide data from the Danish Hip Fracture Registry.

Subjects: a total of 28,791 patients age 65 and above undergoing surgery for a first-time hip fracture.

Potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs): frequency and extent of GP-related variation in PIMs: a register-based cohort study.

Objectives: Potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) pose an increasing challenge in the ageing population. We aimed to assess the extent of PIMs and the prescriber-related variation in PIM prevalence.

Design: Nationwide register-based cohort study.

Association of CHA DS -VASc Score with Stroke, Thromboembolism, and Death in Hip Fracture Patients.

Objectives: Patients undergoing hip fracture surgery have a 10 times increased risk of stroke compared with the general population. We aimed to evaluate the association between the CHA DS -VASc (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥75 years, diabetes, previous stroke/TIA [transient ischemic attack]/systemic embolism (2 points), vascular disease, age 65-74 years, and female sex) score and the risk of stroke, thromboembolism, and all-cause mortality in patients with hip fracture with or without atrial fibrillation (AF).

Design: Nationwide prospective cohort study.

Statins and Risk of Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Individuals With a History of Stroke.

Background and Purpose- It has been suggested that statins increase the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage in individuals with a history of stroke, which has led to a precautionary principle of avoiding statins in patients with prior intracerebral hemorrhage. However, such prescribing reticence may be unfounded and potentially harmful when considering the well-established benefits of statins. This study is so far the largest to explore the statin-associated risk of intracerebral hemorrhage in individuals with prior stroke.

Statins and Risk of Intracerebral Haemorrhage in a Stroke-Free Population: A Nationwide Danish Propensity Score Matched Cohort Study.

Background: Statins may increase the risk of intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) in individuals with previous stroke. It remains unclear whether this applies to individuals with no history of stroke. This study is the first to explore the statin-associated risk of ICH in stroke-free individuals while considering the timing of statin initiation.
