Secondary osteoporosis prevention: three-year outcomes from a Fracture Liaison Service in elderly hip fracture patients. Aging Clin Exp Res 2024; 36:103. [PMID: 38704788 PMCID: PMC11070393 DOI: 10.1007/s40520-024-02761-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip fractures are the most serious fragility fractures due to their associated disability, higher hospitalization costs and high mortality rates. Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) programs have enhanced the management of osteoporosis-related fractures and have shown their clinical effectiveness. AIMS To analyze the effect of the implementation of a FLS model of care over the survival and mortality rates following a hip fracture. METHODS We conducted a prospective cohort study on patients over 60 years of age who suffered a hip fracture before and after the implementation of the FLS in our center (between January 2016 and December 2019). Patients were followed for three years after the index date. Mortality, complications and refracture rates were compared between the two groups using a Multivariate Cox proportional hazard model. RESULTS A total of 1366 patients were included in this study (353 before FLS implementation and 1013 after FLS implementation). Anti-osteoporotic drugs were more frequently prescribed after FLS implementation (79.3% vs 12.5%; p < 0.01) and there was an increase in adherence to treatment (51.7% vs 30.2%; p < 0.01). A total of 413 (40.8%) patients after FLS implementation and 141 (39.9%) individuals before (p = 0.47) died during the three-years follow-up period. A second fracture occurred in 101 (10.0%) patients after FLS implementation and 37 (10.5%) individuals before (p = 0.78). Patients after the implementation of the FLS protocol had a lower all cause one-year mortality [adjusted Hazard Ratio (HR) 0.74 (0.57-0.94)] and a decreased risk of suffering a second osteoporotic fracture [adjusted HR 0.54 (0.39-0.75) in males and adjusted HR 0.46 (0.30-0.71) in females]. CONCLUSIONS The implementation of a FLS protocol was associated with a lower all-cause one-year mortality rate and a higher survivorship in elderly hip fracture patients. However, no three-year mortality rate differences were observed between the two groups. We also found a reduction in the complication and second-fracture rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip fractures are prevalent among older people, often leading to reduced mobility, muscle loss, and bone density decline. Malnutrition exacerbates the prognosis post surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a 12-week regimen of a high-calorie, high-protein oral supplement with β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HC-HP-HMB-ONS) on nutritional status, daily activities, and compliance in malnourished or at-risk older patients with hip fractures receiving standard care. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A total of 270 subjects ≥75 years of age, residing at home or in nursing homes, malnourished or at risk of malnutrition, and post hip fracture surgery, received HC-HP-HMB-ONS for 12 weeks. Various scales and questionnaires assessed outcomes. RESULTS During the 12 weeks of follow-up, 82.8% consumed ≥75% of HC-HP-HMB-ONS. By week 12, 62.4% gained or maintained weight (+0.3 kg), 29.2% achieved normal nutritional status (mean MNA score +2.8), and 46.8% improved nutritional status. Biochemical parameters improved significantly. Subjects reported good tolerability (mean score 8.5/10), with 87.1% of healthcare providers concurring. CONCLUSIONS The administration of HC-HP-HMB-ONS markedly enhanced nutritional status and biochemical parameters in older hip-fracture patients, with high compliance and tolerability. Both patients and healthcare professionals expressed satisfaction with HC-HP-HMB-ONS.

The value of preoperative diagnostic testing and geriatric assessment in frail institutionalized elderly with a hip fracture; a secondary analysis of the FRAIL-HIP study. Eur Geriatr Med 2024:10.1007/s41999-024-00945-8. [PMID: 38418712 DOI: 10.1007/s41999-024-00945-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2023] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive overview of (preoperative and geriatric) diagnostic testing, abnormal diagnostic tests and their subsequent interventions, and clinical relevance in frail older adults with a hip fracture. METHODS Data on clinical consultations, radiological, laboratory, and microbiological diagnostics were extracted from the medical files of all patients included in the FRAIL-HIP study (inclusion criteria: hip fracture, > 70 years, living in a nursing home with malnourishment/cachexia and/or impaired mobility and/or severe co-morbidity). Data were evaluated until hospital discharge in nonoperatively treated patients and until surgery in operatively treated patients. RESULTS A total of 172 patients (88 nonoperative and 84 operative) were included, of whom 156 (91%) underwent laboratory diagnostics, 126 (73%) chest X-rays, and 23 (13%) CT-scans. In 153/156 (98%) patients at least one abnormal result was found in laboratory diagnostics. In 82/153 (50%) patients this did not result in any additional diagnostics or (pharmacological) intervention. Abnormal test results were mentioned as one of the deciding arguments for operative delay (> 24 h) for 10/84 (12%) patients and as a factor in the decision between nonoperative and operative treatment in 7/172 (4%) patients. CONCLUSION A large number and variety of diagnostics were performed in this patient population. Abnormal test results in laboratory diagnostics were found for almost all patients and, in majority, appear to have no direct clinical consequences. To prevent unnecessary diagnostics, prospective research is required to evaluate the clinical consequences and added value of the separate elements of preoperative diagnostic testing and geriatric assessment in frail hip fracture patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to numerous health issues, including an increased risk of hip fractures. This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and mortality in patients with hip fracture. To assess the impact of different levels of vitamin D deficiency on mortality in patients with hip fractures and examine the influence of potential confounding factors. METHODS A systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and Cochrane Collaboration Library was conducted, resulting in nine eligible cohort studies (n = 4409). Patients with hip fractures were categorized based on their vitamin D levels as severe, moderate, or insufficient. Mortality was the primary outcome measure in this study. Subgroup analyses were performed according to the follow-up time. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using a random-effects model in Review Manager 5.4. RESULTS Nine studies, with a pool of 4409 patients, were included. Vitamin D insufficiency was significantly associated with increased mortality (OR 1.24, 95% CI 1.05-1.46; I2 = 4%). Severe deficiency also led to a significant increase in mortality (OR 2.08, 95% CI 1.09-3.97; I2 = 42%), whereas moderate deficiency did not show a significant effect (OR 1.06, 95% CI 0.79-1.44; I2 = 0%). Subgroup analysis revealed significant associations between vitamin D insufficiency and increased mortality at 1-year (OR 1.37, 95% CI 1.06-1.77) and 2-year follow-ups (OR 1.78, 95% CI 1.01-3.15). After adjusting for potential confounders, no significant increase in the mortality rate was observed. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis suggests that vitamin D insufficiency and severe deficiency are associated with increased mortality in patients with hip fracture. However, after adjusting for confounding factors, this association was not statistically significant. Further research is necessary to understand the role of vitamin D deficiency in this population.

Abstract
CONTEXT Hip fracture is a serious injury that can lead to increased morbidity and mortality. Vitamin D binding protein (DBP) is a potential prognostic indicator of outcomes since it is important for actin scavenging and inflammation after tissue injury. OBJECTIVE To determine whether circulating DBP is associated with mobility or mortality after hip fracture and its association with acute tissue injury markers. METHODS Post hoc analysis of a multisite North American prospective study of 260 patients with hip fracture; mobility assessed at 30 and 60 days and mortality at 60 days after repair surgery. Biochemical markers were measured before, and 2 to 4 days after surgery. Tissue injury markers were measured in 100 randomly selected patients and controls. The primary outcome was mobility and mortality by DBP tertiles. Secondary outcomes were assessment of pre- and postoperative biomarkers. RESULTS Among all patients (81 ± 9 years, BMI 25 ± 4 kg/m2; 72% female), the highest DBP tertile had greater mobility at 30 (OR: 2.66; 95% CI: 1.43, 4.92; P = .002) and 60 days (OR: 2.31; 95% CI: 1.17, 4.54; P = .014) and reduced mortality (OR: 0.18; 95% CI: 0.04, 0.86; P = .032) compared with the lowest DBP tertile (<28.0 mg/dL). Total 25-hydroxyvitamin-D did not differ between tertiles (22.0 ± 9.5 ng/mL). Circulating DBP and gelsolin were lower and interleukin-6, C-reactive protein, and F-actin were higher (P < .01) in patients vs controls, and worsened (P < .01) after surgery. CONCLUSION High circulating DBP concentrations are associated with better mobility and reduced mortality after hip fracture surgery. The role of DBP as an acute phase reactant to tissue injury and clinical outcomes should be addressed in future study.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the utility of serum C-terminal cross-linking telopeptides (β-CTX) and procollagen type I N propeptide (PINP) for predicting one-year mortality and walking ability in Chinese geriatric hip fracture patients who underwent surgical interventions. METHOD Elderly patients (≥ 60 years) who underwent surgical interventions for unilateral low-energy hip fracture from 2015 to 2020 in our center were included. Demographic data was retrospectively retrieved from the electronic medical database. The PINP and β-CTX concentrations were measured before the surgery. The patients were divided into two groups according to the outcome of mortality and walking ability after hip surgery, respectively. β-CTX and PINP were divided into four grades based on quartiles [Quartile(Q)1-4] for further analysis. All the variables with p < 0.1 in univariable analysis were included in a multivariable model. RESULTS In univariable analysis, the levels of serum β-CTX (p = 0.007) and PINP (p = 0.025) was associated with one-year mortality, while the association between levels of serum β-CTX (p = 0.072) or PINP (p = 0.055) with one-year disability was marginally significant. After adjustment for confounders, the relative risk [OR (95 % CI), Q4 v sQ1, p-value] of one-year mortality and one-year disability were 7.28 (2.08-29.78, p = 0.003) and 3.97 (1.44-11.69, p = 0.009) for β-CTX and 5.87 (1.70-23.80, p = 0.008) and 3.48 (1.30-9.93, p = 0.016) for PINP, respectively. The coefficient of determination, AUC and bias-corrected C-index of predictive models based on previously reported predictors were significantly improved after integrating β-CTX or PINP. CONCLUSION Higher serum β-CTX and PINP are independently associated with an increased risk of one-year mortality and disability in patients with hip fractures. The application of BTMs improves the performance of currently available predictive models.
