Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of concurrent COVID-19 infection on mortality rates following fragility hip fractures, highlighting a significant increase in 30-day mortality for infected patients.
- Conducted across 10 hospitals in England, the research involved 746 patients, with those infected having higher mortality rates at 30 and 120 days post-surgery, though rates equalized significantly between 31 and 120 days.
- The findings suggest that surviving patients with COVID-19 infection by day 31 do not have a greater risk of dying within 120 days, indicating that long-term mortality isn't adversely affected after a hip fracture in this context.
This study presents data from a large sample of clinic-evaluated sexual assault survivors ( N = 1,667) in Ethiopia between 2009 and 2015, one of the largest such samples ever analyzed in an African country. Statistical analyses revealed a disproportionate number of minors presenting to the clinics, an extremely high prevalence of special kidnapping cases, significant differences in access and assault characteristics between survivors from within the clinic cities and those from outside of them, and an unacceptable clinical focus on unreliable hymenal findings. In addition, a myriad of important findings regarding patient characteristics, as well as injury and medical outcomes, are reported.

We aimed to investigate the concurrent association between clinician-rated and performance-based measures of language disturbance and functioning in FEP.
