Early and 1-year mortality of native geriatric distal femur fractures: A systematic review and time-to-event meta-analysis.

Purpose: Distal femur fractures (DFF) account for 6% of all femoral fractures and predominate in females. The current 1-year mortality of DFF is currently reported to be between 10 and 38%, a wide margin, and confounded by multiple factors including age, high energy mechanisms, pathological and periprosthetic fractures. The purpose of this study was to assess and determine all-cause mortality following geriatric native distal femur fractures at 30 days, six months and one year.

Insights and Recommendations From Two Urology-Based Educational Interventions: Development of a Urology Teaching Programme and Out-of-Hours Urology Handbook.

Exposure and education in urology for medical students (MSs) and junior doctors (JDs) have long been overlooked, resulting in inadequate preparedness for the management of urological cases/patients. This study addresses this deficiency through the implementation of a Urology Teaching Programme (UTP) and the creation of an Out-of-Hours Urology Handbook (OOHUH). The UTP was delivered virtually, targeting senior MSs and JDs, and covered common urological presentations and management pathways from a JD's perspective.
