Abstract

Early hospital readmission after surgically treated hip fracture is a common entity, often involving an adverse event and causing strains on an already overburdened healthcare system. The main purposes of the present study were to determine the 30-day readmission rate, analyze the predictive factors for early hospital readmissions, and assess 1-year mortality following surgical treatment of hip fracture in elderly patients. Retrospective case-control study. In total, 517 patients with a mean age of 74 years were evaluated. The rate of early readmission, age, gender, body mass index, fracture type, pre-fracture mobility status, preoperative time to surgery, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, implant type, postoperative intensive care unit stay, total length of postoperative hospital stay, comorbidities, and the main reasons for readmission were the criteria for data collection. Multivariate analysis was performed to determine the main predictors of early hospital readmission. Mortality within the first year after surgery was also assessed. A higher prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cardiac arrhythmia or ischemic heart disease, diabetes, and dementia or Parkinson's disease was detected in readmitted p...Continue Reading

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.
