Abstract

To define risk factors for rehospitalization following fragility hip fractures and to create a predictive model. A retrospective cohort study of patients 65 years and older, who were treated operatively following fragility hip fractures between 01.2011 and 06.2016. Patients were allocated into two study groups based on the occurrence of recurrent hospitalizations in the year following surgery. Demographic information, comorbidities, and in-hospital characteristics were collected, as was information regarding 1-year readmissions. Multivariate analysis of factors predictive of rehospitalizations was performed, followed by a logistic regression using all predictors with p < 0.05. A stepwise backwards elimination method was used to create the predictive model. Eight hundred and fifty-one patients were included; 369 (43.4%) had recurrent hospitalizations within the first post-operative year. Patients who were rehospitalized were more likely to be males, to use a walking aid and to live dependently. They had a higher age-adjusted Charlson's comorbidity index (ACCI) score, a higher perveance of atrial fibrillation, lower hemoglobin, worse renal function, less platelets, and longer time to surgery. Prevalence of in-hospital complicatio...Continue Reading

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
