Unseen Threefold Mortality After the First Ten Days in Hemodialysis Patients Following Joint Arthroplasty: A Nationwide Retrospective Cohort Study of 1,287 Arthroplasty Patients on Hemodialysis. J Arthroplasty 2024:S0883-5403(24)00252-3. [PMID: 38522803 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.03.036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2023] [Revised: 03/13/2024] [Accepted: 03/15/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The study addresses the growing number of hemodialysis (HD) patients undergoing joint arthroplasty, who are at higher risk of complications and mortality. Previous research has often overlooked deaths after discharge. This study aimed to examine early outcomes in a large nationwide cohort of patients who underwent arthroplasty for elective and fracture-related reasons. METHODS Between 2016 and 2022, a study was conducted using the e-Nabız database of the Türkiye Ministry of Health, focusing on patients aged 18 years and above who underwent elective or fracture-related arthroplasty. This study included 1,287 patients reliant on dialysis who underwent total hip arthroplasty, total knee arthroplasty, or hemiarthroplasty (HA), with 7.7% of them receiving dialysis for the first time. Propensity score matching was used to create an equally sized group of non-dialysis-dependent patients, ensuring demographic balance in terms of age, sex, a comorbidity index, and surgery type. The primary objective was to compare mortality rates 10, 30, and 90 days after arthroplasty. RESULTS The first-time dialysis patients who underwent HA had significantly higher 30- and 90-day mortality rates compared to the chronic dialysis group (P = .040 and P < .001, respectively). Also, the HD patients consistently exhibited higher 90-day mortality rates across all surgery types. With total knee arthroplasty, HD patients had a mortality rate of 8.7%, in stark contrast to 0% among non-HD patients (P < .001). Similarly, with total hip arthroplasty, HD patients had a 12% mortality rate, while non-HD patients had a markedly lower rate of 2.7% (P = .008). In the case of HA, HD patients had a significantly elevated 90-day mortality rate of 31.9%, in contrast to 17.1% among non-HD patients (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Joint arthroplasty has higher rates of mortality and complications among HD patients. Surgical decisions must be based on patients' overall health, necessitating collaboration among specialists. These patients should be closely monitored.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study sought to delineate the postoperative outcomes in dialysis patients undergoing hip hemiarthroplasty (HHA) for the treatment of femoral neck fractures (FNF) in order to better optimise pre- and postoperative management and minimise short-term morbidity and mortality rates. METHODS 16,955 patients who had undergone HHA for femoral neck fractures from 2005 to 2018 were isolated from a multi-institutional surgical registry, of which 343 (2.0%) were on dialysis and 16,612 (98.0%) were not. The cohorts were identified/analysed for differences in their comorbidities, demographic factors, and 30-day postoperative complications using Fischer's exact tests and Mann-Whitney U-tests. Coarsened exact matching (CEM) was implemented in order to control for baseline difference in demographics and comorbidities. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to assess the impact of dialysis as an independent risk factor for various complications, including reoperations, readmissions, and mortality. RESULTS Upon CEM-matching (L1-statistic <0.001), weighted multivariate logistic regression analyses demonstrated dialysis to be an independent risk factor for minor complications (OR 3.051, p < 0.001), pneumonia (OR 3.943, p < 0.001), urinary tract infections (UTIs) (OR 2.684, p < 0.001), major complications (OR 1.892, p < 0.001), unplanned intubation (OR 2.555, p = 0.047), cardiac arrest (OR 11.897, p < 0.001), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), (OR 2.610, p = 0.049), and mortality (OR 2.960, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Dialysis independently increased the risk for unplanned intubation, cardiac arrest, blood transfusions, pneumonia, DVT, and mortality. In communicating postoperative expectations, surgeons should aim to clarify the patients' preferences and potential resuscitation designations prior to surgical intervention due to the increased risk of serious complications. A lower threshold of suspicion for DVT in this population is reasonable. Identifying high-risk patient populations that may experience increased rates of complications, with the ensuing financial expenditures, due to medical complexity rather than subpar management may help providers avoid penalties in caring for these patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although several prognostic models have been developed for patients who underwent hip fracture surgery, their preoperative performance was insufficiently validated. We aimed to verify the effectiveness of the Nottingham Hip Fracture Score (NHFS) for predicting postoperative outcomes following hip fracture surgery. METHODS This was a single-center and retrospective analysis. A total of 702 elderly patients with hip fractures (age ≥ 65 years old) who received treatment in our hospital from June 2020 to August 2021 were selected as the research participants. They were divided into the survival group and the death group based on their survival 30 days after surgery. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to identify the independent risk factors for the 30-day mortality after surgery. The NHFS and American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) grades were used to construct these models, and a receiver operating characteristic curve was plotted to assess their diagnostic significance. A correlation analysis was performed between NHFS and length of hospitalization and mobility 3 months after surgery. RESULTS There were significant differences in the age, albumin level, NHFS, and ASA grade between both groups (p < 0.05). The length of hospitalization in the death group was longer than the survival group (p < 0.05). The perioperative blood transfusion and postoperative ICU transfer rates in the death group were higher than in the survival group (p < 0.05). The death group's incidence of pulmonary infections, urinary tract infections, cardiovascular events, pressure ulcers, stress ulcers with bleeding, and intestinal obstruction was higher than the survival group (p < 0.05). The NHFS and ASA III were independent risk factors for the 30-day mortality after surgery, regardless of age and albumin level (p < 0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) of the NHFS and ASA grade for predicting the 30-day mortality after surgery was 0.791 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.709-0.873, p < 0.05) and 0.621 (95% CI 0.477-0.764, p > 0.05), respectively. The NHFS positively correlated with hospitalization length and mobility grade 3 months after surgery (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The NHFS demonstrated a better predictive performance than the ASA score for the 30-day mortality after surgery and positively correlated with the hospitalization length and postoperative activity limitation in elderly patients with hip fractures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Hip fractures are a commonly occurring comorbidity in patients with chronic kidney disease. To evaluate the comparative rates of post-operative complications, revision surgery, and mortality after hip fracture surgery in chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis. METHODS A systematic search of the academic literature was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines across five databases: Web of Science, EMBASE, CENTRAL, Scopus, and MEDLINE. A random-effect meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the overall comparative risks of post-operative complications in chronic kidney disease patients. RESULTS Out of 993 studies, 11 eligible studies were included in the review, with a total of 72618 chronic kidney disease patients (mean age: 75.3 ± 3.0 years), and 50566 healthy controls (75.3 ± 2.6 years). Meta-analysis revealed a higher risk of post-operative complications (Odd's ratio: 1.76), revision surgeries (1.69), and mortality-related outcomes (2.47) after hip fracture surgery in chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis as compared to chronic kidney disease patients not undergoing hemodialysis. CONCLUSION We report higher risks of post-operative complications, revision surgery, and mortality in chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis as compared to chronic kidney disease patients not undergoing hemodialysis.

Abstract
Direct data abstraction from a patient's chart by experienced medical professional data abstractors has been the historical gold standard for quality and accuracy in clinical medical research. The limiting challenge to population-wide studies for quality and public health purposes is the high personnel costs associated with very large-scale efforts of this type. Two historically related programs that are at least partially able to successfully circumvent this problem and provide high-quality data relating to surgical procedures and the early postoperative period are reviewed in this article. Both utilize similar data abstraction efforts by specially trained and qualified medical abstractors of a sample subset of the total procedures performed at participating hospitals.The Veterans Affairs Surgical Quality Improvement Program (VASQIP), detailed by Nicholas J. Giori, MD, PhD, in the first section of this article, makes use of trained abstractors and has undergone recent additions and updates, including the development of an associated total hip registry for the VA system. The data elements and data integrity provided by both of these programs establish important benchmarks for other "big data" efforts, which often attempt to use alternative less-expensive methods of data collection in order to achieve more widespread or even nationwide data collection.In the second section, Elizabeth B. Habermann, PhD, MPH, provides a detailed review of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP), the data elements collected, and examples of the range of quality improvement and outcomes studies in orthopaedic surgery that it has made possible, along with information on data that have not been collected and the resulting limitations. The ACS NSQIP was actually modeled after the very similar earlier effort started by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a potentially debilitating condition, often requiring total hip arthroplasty (THA). Patients on hemodialysis (HD) are at increased risk for complications after THA for osteoarthritis, however there is limited information on outcomes of THA for ONFH in patients on HD. With increasing prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) requiring HD, studies are needed to characterize the risk of complications in these patients. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate HD as a potential risk factor for complication after THA in patients with ONFH on HD. METHODS Patients on HD with ONFH who underwent THA with at least 2 years of follow-up were identified using a combination of ICD-9 and CPT codes in a national insurance database. A 10:1 matched control cohort of patients with ONFH not on HD was created for comparison. A logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate rates of death, hospital readmission, emergency room (ER) visit, infection, revision, and dislocation between cohorts. Differences in hospital charges, reimbursement, and length of stay between the two groups were also assessed. RESULTS One thousand one hundred thirty-seven patients on HD who underwent THA for ONFH were compared to a matched control cohort of 11,182 non-HD patients who underwent THA for ONFH. Patients on HD experienced higher rates of death (HD 4.1%, non-HD 0.9%; odds ratio [OR] 3.35, p < 0.01), hospital readmission (HD 16.1%, non-HD 5.9%; OR 2.69, p < 0.01) and ER visit (HD 10.4%, non-HD 7.4% OR 1.5, p < 0.01). Hemodialysis was not associated with higher risk of infection, revision, or dislocation, but was associated with significantly higher charges (p < 0.01), reimbursement (p < 0.01), and hospital length of stay (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS While patients on HD do not have increased risk of implant-related complications, they are at increased risk of developing medical complications following THA for ONFH and subsequently may require more resources. Orthopedic surgeons and nephrologists should be cognizant of the increased risk in this population to provide appropriate preoperative counseling and enhanced perioperative medical management.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The long-term risk of cardiovascular events caused by chronic kidney disease (CKD) is well described in the general population. Less is known concerning the risk of postoperative cardiovascular events in geriatric hip fracture patients with CKD. METHODS This study involved patients at least 65 years of age who received surgery for acute hip fracture between January 2000 and April 2016. We identified CKD patients with a baseline diagnosis of CKD or an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 at admission. Each CKD patient was matched, for age, gender, fracture type, and year of admission, with 4 control non-CKD patients. The primary endpoint was a compositepostoperative cardiovascular events, including pulmonary embolism, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, heart failure, arrhythmia, stroke, and death. Conditional logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between CKD and the outcome after adjusting for potential confounders including age, gender, fracture type, body mass index, preexisting comorbidities, history of cardiovascular events, and the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). RESULTS Three hundred and seventy-five CKD patients were matched with 1,438 non-CKD patients. The mean age of the CKD patients was 81.9 ± 7.0 (mean ± SD), 69.9% were females, and 59.2% had an intertrochanteric fracture. Compared to non-CKD patients, CKD patients had a higher proportion of preexisting comorbidities, including hypertension, coronary heart disease, heart failure, and type 2 diabetes (all p < 0.05). The risk of postoperative cardiovascular events was 125.3 per 1000 persons (95%CI, 91.8-158.8) in CKD patients and 64.7 per 1000 persons (95%CI, 52.0-77.4) in non-CKD patients. A 1.96-fold risk of cardiovascular events after hip fracture surgery was found in CKD patients than those without CKD (adjusted OR, 1.96; 95%CI, 1.23-3.12). CONCLUSION Patients with CKD were more likely to have cardiovascular events after hip fracture surgery than those without CKD. Appropriate preoperative cardiovascular risk assessment and corresponding preventive and therapeutic measures should be given to this vulnerable population to mitigate such complications.

Abstract
Background General anesthesia is an important factor leading to postoperative complications, and cerebrovascular accidents take the first place in the causes of postoperative death. Therefore, it is extremely important to explore the correlation between general anesthesia and the occurrence of cerebrovascular accidents in hip fracture patients. Objective To explore the association between general anesthesia and the occurrence of cerebrovascular accidents in hip fracture patients. Methods The data of 240 hip fracture patients treated in our hospital from February 2017 to February 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, and the patients were divided into the general anesthesia group (n = 120) and nongeneral anesthesia group (n = 120) according to whether or not they received general anesthesia, so as to compare their incidence rate of cerebrovascular accidents between the two groups, record their hemodynamic changes, and analyze the association between various risk factors under general anesthesia and the occurrence of cerebrovascular accidents. Results No statistical differences in patients' general information such as age and gender between the two groups were observed (P > 0.05); compared with the nongeneral anesthesia group, the incidence rate of cerebrovascular accidents was significantly higher in the general anesthesia group (P < 0.001); between the two groups, the heart rates and mean arterial pressure (MAP) at 15 min after anesthesia, at the time of skin incision, and 15 min before the end of surgery were significantly different (P < 0.05); according to the multiple logistic regression analysis, general anesthesia was a risk factor affecting the occurrence of cerebrovascular accidents in hip fracture patients, and under general anesthesia, age ≥80 years, BMI ≥23 kg/m2, types of anesthetic drugs ≥4, intraoperative blood pressure ≥140 mmHg, and intraoperative heart rate ≥80 bpm were also regarded as the risk factors. Conclusion General anesthesia is a risk factor affecting the occurrence of cerebrovascular accidents in hip fracture patients, and under general anesthesia, age ≥80 years, BMI ≥23 kg/m2, types of anesthetic drugs ≥4, intraoperative blood pressure ≥140 mmHg, and intraoperative heart rate ≥80 bpm will further increase the possibility of cerebrovascular accidents.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Romosozumab reportedly increases bone mineral density (BMD) potently but might adversely affect cardiovascular disease (CVD). We evaluated the efficacy of romosozumab in osteoporotic HD patients with a high risk of fracture. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a single-center 1-year study in Japanese HD patients. Among 96 HD romosozumab-treated HD patients with high risk of fracture, 76 HD patients completed 1 year of subcutaneous administration of romosozumab (210 mg/4 weeks) for 1 year. Romosozumab-untreated HD patients (n = 55) were also included. Changes in BMD and serum markers, together with fracture occurrence, and CVD events, were monitored. RESULTS During romosozumab treatment of 76 HD patients, BMD time-dependently increased significantly by 15.3% ± 12.9% at the lumbar spine (L1-4), and 7.2% ± 8.3% at the femoral neck at 1 year. Serum BAP and total P1NP increased significantly and serum TRACP-5b decreased at 4 weeks. Fragility fractures occurred in three (3.8%) patients. Hypocalcemia occurred at 4-48 weeks despite the increased dosing of active vitamin-D derivatives, but without any symptom. New CVD events occurred in 5.2% of romosozumab-treated HD patients and10.9% in romosozumab-untreated HD patients. CONCLUSIONS BMD was increased significantly during romosozumab treatment at the lumbar spine, and the femoral neck, respectively, at 1 year in HD patients. Hypocalcemia occurred but without any intolerable event. There was no apparent increase in CVD events during 1 year of study, suggesting romosozumab as a promising agent for HD patients with severe osteoporosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients on chronic dialysis are at increased risk of postoperative mortality following elective surgery compared to patients with normal kidney function, but morbidity outcomes are less often reported. This study ascertains the excess odds of postoperative cardiovascular and infection related morbidity outcomes for patients on chronic dialysis. METHODS Systematic searches were performed using MEDLINE, Embase and the Cochrane Library to identify relevant studies published from inception to January 2020. Eligible studies reported postoperative morbidity outcomes in chronic dialysis and non-dialysis patients undergoing major non-transplant surgery. Risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and the certainty of evidence was summarised using GRADE. Random effects meta-analyses were performed to derive summary odds estimates. Meta-regression and sensitivity analyses were performed to explore heterogeneity. RESULTS Forty-nine studies involving 10,513,934 patients with normal kidney function and 43,092 patients receiving chronic dialysis were included. Patients on chronic dialysis had increased unadjusted odds of postoperative cardiovascular and infectious complications within each surgical discipline. However, the excess odds of cardiovascular complications was attenuated when odds ratios were adjusted for age and comorbidities; myocardial infarction (general surgery, OR 1.83 95% 1.29-2.36) and stroke (general surgery, OR 0.95, 95%CI 0.84-1.06). The excess odds of infectious complications remained substantially higher for patients on chronic dialysis, particularly sepsis (general surgery, OR 2.42, 95%CI 2.12-2.72). CONCLUSION Patients on chronic dialysis are at increased odds of both cardiovascular and infectious complications following elective surgery, with the excess odds of cardiovascular complications attributable to being on dialysis being highest among younger patients without comorbidities. However, further research is needed to better inform perioperative risk assessment.

Prognostic performance of clinical assessment tools following hip fracture in patients with chronic kidney disease. Int Urol Nephrol 2021; 53:2359-2367. [PMID: 33686533 PMCID: PMC7939449 DOI: 10.1007/s11255-021-02798-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2020] [Accepted: 02/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
Purpose People living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at a higher risk of hip fracture with an associated increased mortality risk compared to individuals without CKD. Our study aimed to evaluate the clinical assessment tools that best predict mortality risk following hip fracture for patients with CKD. Methods Patients with CKD G3b-5D admitted to Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, U.K. between June 2013 and Dec 2019 were included. The association between CKD and post-fracture mortality risk was evaluated. All patients were assessed using tools that evaluated frailty status, co-morbidity, pre-operative risk, functional status and cardiopulmonary fitness. Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were performed to determine the prognostic accuracy of the assessment tools for 30 day and 1 year mortality following hip fracture in patients with CKD. Results 397 patients fulfilled inclusion criteria with a mean age of 83.5 ± 9.2 years. Older age, female sex, intracapsular fracture and more severe CKD, co-morbidity and frailty status were all associated with an increased mortality risk. Patients with dialysis-dependent CKD and severe/very severe frailty had a hazard ratio for mortality of 2.55 (95% Cl 2.11–2.98) and 3.11 (95% Cl 2.47–3.93), respectively. The Clinical Frailty Scale demonstrated the best prognostic accuracy for both 30 day [Area Under the Curve (AUC) 0.91, 95% Cl 0.84–0.97] and 1 year mortality (AUC 0.93, 95% Cl 0.87–1.00). Conclusion Patients with advanced CKD and severe frailty have a high mortality risk following hip fracture. The Clinical Frailty Scale is an excellent prognostic tool for mortality in this setting and could be easily incorporated into routine clinical practice.

Abstract
Loss of bone mineral density (BMD) is a substantial risk of mortality in addition to fracture in hemodialysis patients. However, the factors affecting BMD are not fully determined. We conducted a single-center, cross-sectional study on 321 maintenance hemodialysis patients who underwent evaluation of femoral neck BMD using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry from August 1, 2018, to July 31, 2019. We examined factors associated with osteoporosis defined by T-score of ≤ - 2.5, using logistic regression models. Median age of patients was 66 years, and 131 patients (41%) were diagnosed with osteoporosis. Older age, female, lower body mass index, diabetes mellitus, and higher Kt/V ratios were associated with higher osteoporosis risk. The only medication associated with lower osteoporosis risk was calcium-based phosphate binders (CBPBs) [odds ratio (OR), 0.41; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.21-0.81]. In particular, CBPB reduced the osteoporosis risk within subgroups with dialysis vintage of ≥ 10 years, albumin level of < 3.5 mg/dL, active vitamin D analog use, and no proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use. In conclusion, CBPB use was associated with lower osteoporosis risk in hemodialysis patients. This effect might be partially attributable to calcium supplementation, given its higher impact in users of active vitamin D analogs or non-users of PPI, which modulate calcium absorption.

Abstract
Hip fractures in older patients requiring dialysis are associated with high mortality. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the specific burden of dialysis on 30-day mortality following hip fracture surgery. The secondary aim was to determine the burden of dialysis on overall survival as well as several postoperative complications.A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from the Korean National Health Insurance Research Database. Patients were aged ≥65 years and underwent hip fracture surgery during the period from 2009 to 2015. To construct a matched cohort, each dialysis patient was matched to 4 non-dialysis patients based on age, sex, hospital type, anesthesia type, and comorbidities. Survival status was determined 30 days after surgery and at the end of the study period.In total, 96,289 patients were identified. Among them, 1614 dialysis patients were included and matched to 6198 non-dialysis patients. During the 30-day postoperative period, there were 102 mortality events in the dialysis group and 127 in the non-dialysis group, for an adjusted hazard ratio of 3.12 (95% confidence interval, 2.42-4.09). Overall, by the end of the study period, there were 1120 mortality events in the dialysis group and 2731 in the non-dialysis group, for an adjusted hazard ratio of 1.97 (95% confidence interval, 1.83-2.1). These findings may be limited by the characteristics of the administrative database.The 30-day mortality rate was 3-fold higher in the dialysis group than in the non-dialysis group, while the overall mortality rate was approximately 2-fold higher in the dialysis group than in the non-dialysis group. These findings suggest that caution in the perioperative period is required in dialysis patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. The results of our study represent only an association between dialysis and mortality. Further studies are necessary to investigate the possible causal effect of dialysis on mortality and complications after hip fracture surgery.

Abstract
Background The choice of anesthesia technique remains debatable in patients undergoing surgical repair of hip fracture. This meta-analysis was performed to compare the effect of neuraxial (epidural/spinal) versus general anesthesia on perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. Methods Medline, Cochrane Library, Science-Direct, and EMBASE databases were searched to identify eligible studies focused on the comparison between neuraxial and general anesthesia in hip fracture patients between January 2000 and May 2019. Perioperative outcomes were extracted for systemic analysis. Sensitivity analyses were conducted using a Bonferroni correction and the leave-one-out method. The evidence quality for each outcome was evaluated by the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system. Results Nine randomized controlled trials (RCTs) including 1084 patients fulfilled our selection criteria. The outcomes for the meta-analysis showed that there were no significant differences in the 30-day mortality (OR = 1.34, 95% CI 0.56, 3.21; P = 0.51), length of stay (MD = − 0.65, 95% CI -0.32, 0.02; P = 0.06), and the prevalence of delirium (OR = 1.05, 95% CI 0.27, 4.00; P = 0.95), acute myocardial infarction (OR = 0.88, 95% CI 0.17, 4.65; P = 0.88), deep venous thrombosis (OR = 0.48, 95% CI 0.09, 2.72; P = 0.41), and pneumonia (OR = 1.04, 95% CI 0.23, 4.61; P = 0.96) for neuraxial anesthesia compared to general anesthesia, and there was a significant difference in blood loss between the two groups (MD = − 137.8, 95% CI -241.49, − 34.12; p = 0.009). However, after applying the Bonferroni correction for multiple testing, all the adjusted p-values were above the significant threshold of 0.05. The evidence quality for each outcome evaluated by the GRADE system was low. Conclusions In summary, our present study demonstrated that there might be a difference in blood loss between patients receiving neuraxial and general anaesthesia, however, this analysis was not robust to adjustment for multiple testing and therefore at high risk for a type I error. Due to small sample size and enormous inconsistency in the choice of outcome measures, more high-quality studies with large sample size are needed to clarify this issue.

Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE The prognostic significance of dialysis-dependent end-stage kidney disease on postoperative mortality is unclear. This study aims to estimate the odds of postoperative mortality in patients receiving chronic dialysis undergoing elective surgery compared to patients with normal kidney function, and to examine the influence of comorbidities on the excess mortality risk. METHODS A systematic search of studies published up to January 2020 was conducted using MEDLINE, EMBASE and CENTRAL databases. Eligible studies reported postoperative 30-day or in-hospital mortality in chronic dialysis patients compared to patients with normal kidney function undergoing elective surgery. Two investigators independently reviewed all abstracts and performed risk of bias assessments using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Quality of evidence was summarised in accordance with GRADE methodology (grading of recommendations, assessment, development and evaluation). Relative mortality risk estimates were obtained using random effects meta-analysis. Heterogeneity was explored using meta-regression. (PROSPERO CRD42017076565). RESULTS Forty-nine studies involving 41, 822 chronic dialysis and 10, 476, 321 non-dialysis patients undergoing elective surgery were included. Patients on chronic dialysis had a greatly increased postoperative mortality odds compared to patients with normal kidney function. The excess risk ranged from OR 10.8 (95%CI 7.3-15.9) following orthopaedic surgery to OR 4.0 (95%CI 3.2-4.9) after vascular surgery. Adjustment for age and comorbidity attenuated the excess odds but remained higher for patients on chronic dialysis, irrespective of surgical discipline. Meta-regression analysis demonstrated an inverse linear relationship between excess mortality risk and study-level mean age (slope -0.06; P = 0.001) and diabetes prevalence (slope -0.02; p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Patients on chronic dialysis have an increased odds for postoperative mortality following elective surgery across all surgical disciplines. This relationship is consistent among all studies, with the excess postoperative mortality attributable to end-stage kidney disease and chronic dialysis treatment may be lower among older patients with diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to analyze the all-cause mortality rate over time after elderly hip fracture in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients with dialysis, using a Korean nationwide claims database. METHODS This retrospective nationwide study identified subjects from the Korean National Health Insurance Service-Senior cohort (NHIS-Senior). The NHIS-Senior (total of 588,147 participants) was constructed by 10% random sampling and was designed to represent the elderly living in Korea. Subjects were patients aged 65-99 years who underwent surgical treatment for femoral neck fractures or intertrochanteric fractures. A generalized estimating equation model with Poisson distribution and logarithmic link function was used to estimate adjusted risk ratios (aRRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to measure associations between renal dialysis and cumulative mortality in various time frames. RESULTS The total number of patients included in this study was 16,818. These patients were divided into two groups: 116 (0.69%) in the dialysis group and 16,702 (99.31%) in the no-dialysis group. The mean length of hospital stay was 43.87 ± 48.45 days in the dialysis group and 36.29 ± 37.49 days in the no-dialysis group (P = 0.095). The effect of renal dialysis on all-cause mortality was 2.29-fold (aRR; 95% CI, 1.29-4.06; P = 0.005) within 30 days and 1.72-fold (aRR; 95% CI, 1.34-2.21; P < 0.001) within 1-year after hip fracture compared to the no-dialysis group. And, the effect of renal dialysis of in-hospital mortality was 2.72-fold (aRR; 95% CI, 1.71-4.33; P < 0.001) compared to the no-dialysis group. CONCLUSION Elderly patients who underwent dialysis have very high mortality rates after hip fracture. Therefore, it is considered that postoperative care through multidisciplinary management and understanding of pathophysiology for the ESRD patients is necessary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal osteodystrophy leading to fractures in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with significant hospitalization, morbidity, mortality and health care costs. There is a paucity of data on fractures in the CKD population in Australia. AIM To describe the trends and impact of hospitalized fractures in an Australian population of non-dialysis CKD patients. METHODS Retrospective observational data derived using data linkage. Fracture rates, trends in hospital admissions, comorbidity burden and mortality were analysed in a non-dialysis CKD population between 2000 and 2010 in the Australian state of New South Wales. Hospitalized patients with CKD and fractures were compared with CKD patients without fracture. RESULTS A total of 149 839 hospitalized patients with CKD were included, of whom 9898 (6.6%) experienced one or more fractures. Patients with fracture were older, more likely to be female with a higher comorbidity burden than those without. Hospital admissions involving fracture were longer than non-fracture admissions (14.3 vs 5.9 days, P < .0001) and patients were less likely to be discharged home (28.3% vs 80.9%, P < .0001). The 12-month mortality rate was high at 41%. CONCLUSION Australian non-dialysis CKD patients with hospitalized fractures were older, had a greater burden of disease, and have similar rates of fracture and associated mortality compared to international CKD cohorts. Implications of fracture requiring hospitalization are considerable, with longer admissions, greater healthcare costs, lower likelihood of discharge home and significant mortality. As fracture prevention in the CKD population evolves, treatment algorithms should account for those at greatest risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis have been shown to have poor overall health, osteoporosis, and altered bone metabolism. However, the impact of hemodialysis on patient outcomes after spinal fusion remains unknown. We sought to assess the effect of dialysis on 30-day perioperative and postoperative outcomes after cervical and lumbar fusion for pathologic compression fractures. METHODS We queried the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program from 2009 to 2016 for patients undergoing cervical or lumbar fusion for compression fractures. Three-to-one propensity score matching using sex, age, body mass index, and number of operated levels was used to match patients not undergoing dialysis with those undergoing dialysis. Multivariable conditional regression was used to identify the association between dialysis and 30-day clinical outcomes, after adjusting for confounders. RESULTS A total of 48,492 patients undergoing cervical fusion were identified; 156 (0.32%) of these were on dialysis. On multivariable regression, dialysis dependency was associated with increased operative time (regression coefficient [coef.], 15.93; 95% CI, 0.4-31.5; P = 0.045), length of stay (coef. 6.06; 95% CI, 4.64-7.48; P < 0.001), 30-day readmissions (odds ratio [OR], 1.07; 95% CI, 1.02-1.12; P = 0.009), any complications (OR 1.08; 95% CI, 1.03-1.13; P = 0.002), and serious complications (OR, 1.08; 95% CI, 1.02-1.14; P = 0.012). A total of 25,417 patients undergoing lumbar fusion were identified; 51 of these (0.2%) were on dialysis. On multivariable regression, dialysis dependency was associated with significantly higher length of stay (coef. 2.98; 95% CI, 1.28-4.68; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Our analyses indicated that dialysis dependency is associated with poor perioperative and postoperative outcomes after cervical/lumbar fusion for pathologic compression fractures.
