The socioeconomic burden of hip fractures, the most severe osteoporotic fracture outcome, is increasing and the current clinical risk assessment lacks sensitivity. This study aimed to develop a method for improved prediction of hip fracture by incorporating measurements of bone microstructure and composition derived from high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT). In a prospective cohort study of 3028 community-dwelling women aged 75 to 80, all participants answered questionnaires and underwent baseline examinations of anthropometrics and bone by dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and HR-pQCT.

Antibiotic Self-Medication (ASM) is a major contributing factor to Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) that can lead to both mortality and long-term hospitalizations. High provincial ASM proportions associated with mortality due to AMR have been observed in Thailand but there is a lack of studies on geographic factors contributing to ASM. The present study aimed to quantify the distribution of ASM in Thailand and its correlated factors.

Emerg Med Australas
February 2025
Alice Springs Hospital, Alice Spring, Northern Territory, Australia.
Background: First Nations patients often experience poorer health outcomes than non-First Nations patients. Despite emergency triage primarily focusing on severity, implying comparable outcomes for patients in the same triage group regardless of demographics, the precision of triage for First-Nations Australians may be undermined by multiple factors, although research in this area is scarce.
Objective: To compare admission rates, service utilisation and mortality for First Nations and non-First Nations patients, based on their triage categories.
Caesarean myomectomy in pregnant women with uterine fibroids.
Cochrane Database Syst Rev
January 2025
Liverpool Reviews and Implementation Group, Department of Health Data Science, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK.
Rationale: Postpartum haemorrhage, defined as a blood loss of 500 mL or more within 24 hours of birth, is the leading global cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus, and affect an increasing number of women. Caesarean myomectomy is the surgical removal of fibroids during a caesarean section.

Aims: To measure effects between educational attainment and alcohol use as a driver of unequal alcohol-attributable mortality.
Design: Nation-wide cohort study using a longitudinal design, linking data from the 1997-2018 National Health Interview Survey to mortality data of the National Death Index in 2019. The study has an average follow-up time of 10.
