Objective: To investigate early predictors for discharge to a geriatric rehabilitation department at a skilled nursing home in older patients after hospitalization for hip fracture surgery.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting And Participants: Data from 21,176 patients with hip fracture aged ≥70 years, who were registered in the Dutch Hip Fracture Audit database between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2019, were included.
Methods: Patients were categorized into 3 discharge groups: home (n=7326), rehabilitation (n=11,738), and nursing home (n=2112). Age, gender, Pre-Fracture Mobility Score (PFMS), premorbid Katz index of independence in Activities of Daily Living (Katz-ADL), history of dementia, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification (ASA score), type of anesthesia, fracture type, surgical treatment, and cotreatment by a geriatrician were gathered. Multinomial regression analysis was used to assess for early predictors.
Results: Higher age, poor premorbid mobility, lower premorbid Katz-ADL, no history of dementia, ASA score 3-5, general anesthesia, intramedullary implant, and cotreatment by a geriatrician were independent predictors for discharge to geriatric rehabilitation vs discharge home. Identical predictors were found for discharge to a nursing home vs discharge home. History of dementia and premorbid Katz-ADL were distinguishing factors; a higher premorbid Katz-ADL and a history of dementia were associated with a higher risk of discharge to a nursing home vs discharge home. The multinomial regression model correctly predicted 86%, 38.6%, and 2.4% of the patients in the rehabilitation group, home group, and nursing home group, respectively.
Conclusions And Implications: This study showed that age, PFMS, premorbid Katz-ADL, surgical treatment, ASA score, type of anesthesia, history of dementia, and cotreatment by a geriatrician were independent early predictors for discharge to geriatric rehabilitation vs discharge home in older patients after hip fracture surgery. Identical predictors were found as predictors for discharge to a nursing home vs discharge home, except for history of dementia and premorbid Katz-ADL.

Frailty screening in older patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery: Comparative study of seven screening instruments.
J Am Geriatr Soc

Department of Public Health and Primary Care, KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium.
Background: Frailty screening instruments are increasingly studied as risk predictors for adverse postoperative outcomes. However, because of the lack of comparative research, it is unclear which screening instrument performs best. This study therefore compared the diagnostic accuracy of seven frailty screening instruments for adverse postoperative outcomes in patients aged ≥70 years undergoing colorectal surgery.

Objective: The aim of this research was to develop and internally validate a nomogram for forecasting the length of hospital stay following laparoscopic appendectomy in pediatric patients diagnosed with appendicitis.
Methods: We developed a prediction model based on a training dataset of 415 pediatric patients with appendicitis, and hospitalization data were collected retrospectively from January 2021 and December 2022. The primary outcome measure in this study was hospital length of stay (LOS), with prolonged LOS defined as admission for a duration equal to or exceeding the 75th percentile of LOS, including the discharge day.

Purpose: To examine the outcome of palliative endoscopic treatment of malignant central airway obstruction (CAO) and identify predictors for Days Alive and Out of Hospital (DAOH), overall survival and treatment related complications.
Methods: Consecutive adult patients treated endoscopically for malignant CAO at Aarhus University Hospital from 2012 to 2022 were included in the study. Statistical analyses were carried out to identify predictors for DAOH, survival and complications.

Even at trace concentrations, micropollutants, including pesticides and pharmaceuticals, pose considerable ecological risks, and the increasing presence of synthetic chemical substances in aquatic systems has emerged as a growing concern. Moreover, limited machine-learning (ML) approaches exist for analyzing environmental data, and the increasing complexity of ML models has made it challenging to understand predictor-outcome relationships. In particular, understanding complex interactions among multiple variables remains challenging.

Background And Objectives: The outcomes and characteristics of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) vary across geographic regions. The etiologies and prognoses of OHCA in Asian populations remain less established. This study aimed to investigate the etiologies and clinical characteristics of patients successfully resuscitated after OHCA and to identify predictors of survival outcomes.
