Armstrong E, Harvey LA, Payne NL, Zhang J, Ye P, Harris IA, Tian M, Ivers RQ. Do we understand each other when we develop and implement hip fracture models of care? A systematic review with narrative synthesis. BMJ Open Qual 2023; 12:e002273. [PMID: 37783525 PMCID: PMC10565304 DOI: 10.1136/bmjoq-2023-002273] [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: 01/24/2023] [Accepted: 05/02/2023] [Indexed: 10/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND A hip fracture in an older person is a devastating injury. It impacts functional mobility, independence and survival. Models of care may provide a means for delivering integrated hip fracture care in less well-resourced settings. The aim of this review was to determine the elements of hip fracture models of care to inform the development of an adaptable model of care for low and middle-income countries (LMICs). METHODS Multiple databases were searched for papers reporting a hip fracture model of care for any part of the patient pathway from injury to rehabilitation. Results were limited to publications from 2000. Titles, abstracts and full texts were screened based on eligibility criteria. Papers were evaluated with an equity lens against eight conceptual criteria adapted from an existing description of a model of care. RESULTS 82 papers were included, half of which were published since 2015. Only two papers were from middle-income countries and only two papers were evaluated as reporting all conceptual criteria from the existing description. The most identified criterion was an evidence-informed intervention and the least identified was the inclusion of patient stakeholders. CONCLUSION Interventions described as models of care for hip fracture are unlikely to include previously described conceptual criteria. They are most likely to be orthogeriatric approaches to service delivery, which is a barrier to their implementation in resource-limited settings. In LMICs, the provision of orthogeriatric competencies by other team members is an area for further investigation.

Zhou H, Ngune I, Roberts PA, Della PR. Integrated clinical pathways for lower limb orthopaedic surgeries: An updated systematic review. J Clin Nurs 2023; 32:2433-2454. [PMID: 35703679 DOI: 10.1111/jocn.16344] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2022] [Revised: 03/20/2022] [Accepted: 04/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to comprehensively synthesise the components of integrated clinical pathways (ICPs) and post-operative outcomes of patients undergone total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA & TKA) and hip fracture surgeries. BACKGROUND Previous systematic reviews examined components and effectiveness of ICPs for lower limb joint replacement and hip fracture surgeries. DESIGN AND METHODS An updated systematic review guided by the Whittemore and Knafl (2005) framework. Electronic databases, Ovid MEDLINE, EBSCOhost-CINAHL, the Cochrane Reviews and Trails, EMBASE and PubMed, were searched from 2007 to 31 January 2021. Due to the heterogeneity of the methods and data collection tools of included studies, pooling of the quantitative data was not possible. Therefore, the included studies were synthesised and presented narratively under subthemes of arthroplasty and hip fracture surgeries. The PRISMA checklist for systematic reviews was used. RESULTS Twenty-four studies met selection criteria with 11 examined ICPs for hip fracture and 13 for the THA and TKA. Twenty-one ICPs were reviewed, and 33 components were extracted. The most frequently included components for hip fracture subgroup were 'discharge disposition arrangement' and 'dedicated personnel and resources'. 'Exercise plan' and 'pain management' were for the arthroplasty subgroup. A significant reduction in the length of stay and post-operative complications were associated with the ICPs. Results were mixed for the effectiveness of ICPs in reducing unplanned hospital admissions, mortality rates, post-operative complications and hospital costs. CONCLUSION The number of ICP components varied across studies. This review could not recommend a one size-fits-all ICP that could be adapted for use for patients undergoing hip fracture and joint replacement surgeries. RELEVANCE FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE This review identified research evidence-based components considered as essential for the inclusion in ICP's for hip fracture and arthroplasty surgeries. Further research is suggested to determine the patient experience and healthcare providers' acceptance of ICPs.

Rehabilitation Concerns in the Geriatric Critically Ill and Injured - Part 2. Crit Care Clin 2021; 37:221-231.

Abstract
As life expectancy increases and birth rates decline, the geriatric population continues to grow faster than any other age group. Aging is characterized by a progressive physiologic decline that promotes the onset of functional limitation and disability. With the increasing geriatric population, more elderly patients are presenting to emergency departments after trauma, and intensive care units are being met with increasing demand. Rehabilitation is critical in improving quality of life by maximizing physical, cognitive, and psychological recovery from injury or disease.
