Introduction: Elderly patients with hip fractures exhibit a high incidence of mortality and morbidity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors that may predict mortality in patients with geriatric hip fracture.
Methods: Included in this retrospective study were 241 patients who were admitted to the hospital with hip fractures between May 2017 and March 2019. The effect of the modified 5-item frailty index (mFI-5) on 30-day and 1-year mortality was evaluated. In addition, admission neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratios (NLRs) and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratios (MLRs) were also examined.
Results: The mFI-5 was not found to be a statistically significant predictive indicator for 30-day and 1-year mortality (P = 0.485 and P = 0.484, respectively). Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or current pneumonia was found to increase mortality by 2.702 times (P = 0.002). The 30-day mortality rates of patients aged ≥80 years were significantly higher than those aged 65-79 years (P < 0.05). However, there was no statistical difference in the mortality rates between the age groups after 30 days postoperatively (P = 0.114). Admission NLRs and MLRs were significantly higher in the 30-day and 1-year mortality groups. The cut-off values of the admission NLRs and MLRs for 30-day mortality were calculated as 6.55 and 0.65, respectively, while the same cut-off values for 1-year mortality were calculated as 6.55 and 0.635, respectively.
Conclusions: Admission NLRs and MLRs are useful hematological data for the prediction of 30-day and 1-year mortality in geriatric hip fracture patients.

Proton pump inhibitors and all-cause mortality risk among cancer patients.
World J Clin Oncol
January 2025
Department of Supportive Oncology, Atrium Health Levine Cancer, Charlotte, NC 28204, United States.
Background: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely used, including among cancer patients, to manage gastroesophageal reflux and other gastric acid-related disorders. Recent evidence suggests associations between long-term PPI use and higher risks for various adverse health outcomes, including greater mortality.
Aim: To investigate the association between PPI use and all-cause mortality among cancer patients by a comprehensive analysis after adjustment for various confounders and a robust methodological approach to minimize bias.
Nationwide Outcomes of Heart Transplantation for Postpartum Cardiomyopathy.

Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Section of Heart Failure and Transplantation, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242, USA.
Background: Postpartum cardiomyopathy is defined as an incident of acute heart failure in the postpartum period in the absence of any other cause. Up to 10% of postpartum cardiomyopathy may need to undergo heart transplantation later in life. This study aimed to provide a present-day perspective on all-cause mortality and transplant-related complications after heart transplantation for postpartum cardiomyopathy.

Background: A population-based study delineating the epidemiologic, clinical, and treatment characteristics of femoral neck fractures (FNFs) in elderly patients has not yet been conducted in Turkey. In this nationwide study, the epidemiologic, clinical, and treatment characteristics of patients aged ⩾65 years with FNFs who underwent osteosynthesis, hemiarthroplasty (HA), or total hip arthroplasty (THA) were examined.
Methods: Patients aged ⩾65 years with FNFs were identified in this retrospective, nationwide study.

Background: Prior investigations of the center-specific case volume on outcomes in hypoplastic left heart syndrome have conflicting results. This study utilized the National Pediatric Cardiology Quality Improvement Collaborative (NPC-QIC) registry to investigate the center volume-outcome relationship in patients following the Norwood procedure with consideration of pre-operative high-risk features.
Methods: Between 2016 and 2023, centers were categorized by Norwood procedure volume into low (≤ 5 cases/year), medium (6 to 10 cases/year), and high-volume centers (> 10 cases/year).

Objectives: This study assessed the association between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) severity and postoperative mortality among patients undergoing thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) and complex endovascular aortic repair (CEVAR).
Methods: A retrospective review of the Vascular Quality Initiative database identified elective TEVAR and CEVAR cases from 2013-2022 with endograft proximal landing zone ≥2 for thoracic or complex abdominal aortic disease. Symptomatic disease, ruptures, and urgent/emergent surgeries were excluded.
