Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to develop and validate a risk prediction model for postoperative delirium specifically in elderly patients with hip fractures to help identify those at high risk and facilitate preventive measures.
- A thorough review of 1368 articles led to a meta-analysis of 44 studies, examining 13 risk factors like age, gender, and pre-existing health conditions, while the model's predictive accuracy was confirmed through various statistical evaluations.
- The final model showed strong predictive performance, suggesting it could effectively guide clinical decisions, although the study acknowledged some limitations that could impact its generalizability.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combined methylprednisolone (MP) and tranexamic acid (TXA) in promoting accelerated rehabilitation following total hip arthroplasty (THA). We further investigated effective strategies for rapid rehabilitation post-THA.
Methods: Conducted as a randomized controlled trial involving 80 patients, the study allocated subjects into two groups.
Objective: Four principal treatment modalities are applied to treat complex proximal humeral fractures in older adults: conservative treatment, open reduction internal fixation, hemiarthroplasty, and reverse shoulder arthroplasty. However, among these, the optimal treatment modality has yet to be determined. Therefore, a network meta-analysis was carried out to compare treatment modalities and assess their effectiveness.
