Objectives: To determine which in-hospital complications after the operative treatment of hip fractures are associated with increased in-patient, 30-day, and 1-year mortality.
Design: Retrospective study.
Setting: A single academic medical center and a Level 1 Trauma Center.
Patient Selection Criteria: All patients who were operatively treated for hip fractures (Orthopaedic Trauma Association/AO 31A, 31B and Vancouver A, B, and C periprosthetic fractures) at a single center between October, 2014, and June, 2023.
Outcome Measures And Comparisons: Occurrence of an in-hospital complication was recorded. Cohorts were based on mortality time points (during admission, 30 days, and 1 year) and compared with patients who were alive at those time points to determine which in-hospital complications were most associated with mortality. Correlation analysis was performed between patients who died and those who were alive at each time point.
Results: A total of 3134 patients (average age of 79.6 years, range 18-104 years and 66.6% women) met inclusion for this study. The overall mortality rate during admission, 30 days, and 1 year was found to be 1.6%, 3.9%, and 11.1%, respectively. Sepsis was the complication most associated with increased in-hospital mortality (odds ratio [OR] 7.79, 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.22-18.82, P < 0.001) compared with other in-hospital complications. Compared with other in-hospital complications, stroke was the complication most associated with 30-day mortality (OR 7.95, 95% CI, 1.82-34.68, P < 0.001). Myocardial infarction was the complication most associated with 1-year mortality (OR 2.86, 95% CI, 1.21-6.77, P = 0.017) compared with other in-hospital complications.
Conclusions: Postoperative sepsis, stroke, and myocardial infraction were the 3 complications most associated with mortality during admission, 30-day mortality, and 1-year mortality, respectively, during the operative treatment of hip fractures.
Level Of Evidence: Prognostic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Association of non-English as primary language on clinical outcomes for arteriovenous fistula creation within a safety net system.

Approximately 22 % of the United States population communicates in a non-English language, potentially impacting healthcare communication and outcomes. Few studies have examined the association between non-English primary language (NEPL) and surgical outcomes and none to our knowledge in patients undergoing arteriovenous fistula creation within a safety net system. In this study, we conducted a retrospective analysis on adults who underwent AVF creation for hemodialysis access between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2019.

Background Objectives: Scrub typhus is an acute febrile zoonotic disease caused by the obligate intracellular gram-negative bacteria Orientia tsutsugamushi. Growing data over the last few years on the Indian subcontinent suggest that it is one of the most widespread but under-reported diseases. The study aimed to document the clinical and paraclinical profile and evaluate complications of scrub typhus in severe and nonsevere pediatric age groups.

As the operative management of acute, chest wall, skeletal injury escalates throughout the world, it has become commonplace for patients with posttraumatic conditions to present with clinical reconstructive challenges as well. In addition, it is becoming clear that rib nonunions are not rare, likely more than 5% of rib fractures. No subspecialty is better equipped to address such painful conditions than orthopaedic surgery.

Fluctuation-related pain (FRP) affects more than one third of people with Parkinson's disease (PwP, PD) and has a harmful effect on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), but often remains under-reported by patients and neglected by clinicians. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends The Parkinson KinetiGraphTM (the PKGTM) for remote monitoring of motor symptoms. We investigated potential links between the PKGTM-obtained parameters and clinical rating scores for FRP in PwP in an exploratory, cross-sectional analysis of two prospective studies: "The Non-motor International Longitudinal, Real-Life Study in PD-NILS" and "An observational-based registry of baseline PKG™ in PD-PKGReg".
