Objective: to develop a user-friendly prediction tool of 1-year mortality for patients with hip fracture, in order to guide clinicians and patients on appropriate targeted preventive measures.
Design: population-based cohort study from 2011 to 2017 using nationwide data from the Danish Hip Fracture Registry.
Subjects: a total of 28,791 patients age 65 and above undergoing surgery for a first-time hip fracture.
Methods: patient-related prognostic factors at the time of admission were assessed as potential predictors: Nursing home residency, comorbidity (Charlson Comorbidity Index [CCI] Score), frailty (Hospital Frailty Risk Score), basic mobility (Cumulated Ambulation Score), atrial fibrillation, fracture type, body mass index (BMI), age and sex. Association with 1-year mortality examined by determining the cumulative incidence, applying univariable logistic regression and assessing discrimination (area under the receiver operating characteristics curve [AUROC]). The final model (logistic regression) was utilised on a development cohort (70% of patients). Discrimination and calibration were assessed on the validation cohort (remaining 30% of patients).
Results: all predictors showed an association with 1-year mortality, but discrimination was moderate. The final model included nursing home residency, CCI Score, Cumulated Ambulation Score, BMI and age. It had an acceptable discrimination (AUROC 0.74) and calibration, and predicted 1-year mortality risk spanning from 5 to 91% depending on the combination of predictors in the individual patient.
Conclusions: using information obtainable at the time of admission, 1-year mortality among patients with hip fracture can be predicted. We present a user-friendly chart for daily clinical practice and provide new insight regarding the interplay between prognostic factors.

Background: Heart failure (HF) patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) often face high short-term mortality rates. This study aims to investigate the relationship between lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels and all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with HF.
Methods: Data from the MIMIC-IV database were extracted for subjects eligible for HF diagnosis.

Background: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a common therapy for many hematologic malignancies. While advances in transplant practice have improved cancer-specific outcomes, multiple and debilitating long term physical and psychologic effects remain. Patients undergoing allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT) are often critically ill at initial diagnosis and with necessary sequential treatments become increasingly frail and deconditioned.

Objectives: To determine the influence of obesity on revision rates and mortality after primary elective hip and knee arthroplasty in Germany.
Materials And Methods: In the German Arthroplasty Registry (EPRD) there were 403,073 elective total hip arthroplasties (THA), 320,913 bicondylar total knee arthroplasties (TKA) and 48,480 unicondylar knee arthroplasties (UKA) with valid BMI available for analysis. Cumulative revision rates and 1‑year mortality was calculated for BMI groups.

Introduction: The role of the sympathetic nervous system in the initiation and continuation of ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VTA) is well established. However, whether CSD reduces implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shocks and recurrent VTA is still uncertain.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed at Medline and Embase until March 2023.

Objectives: This fourth report aimed to provide insights into patient characteristics, outcomes, and standardized outcome ratios of patients implanted with durable Mechanical Circulatory Support across participating centers in the European Registry for Patients with Mechanical Circulatory Support (EUROMACS) registry.
Methods: All registered patients receiving durable mechanical circulatory support up to August 2024 were included. Expected number of events were predicted using penalized logistic regression.
