Abstract
This study aims to summarize the prognosis and risk factors of nonoperative treatment patients of hip fracture with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). A total of 113 individuals of hip fracture with nonoperative treatment were retrospectively enrolled, 38 patients with ESRD were defined as the observation group, and the other 75 patients without ESRD were served as the control group. The difference in 30-day and 1-year mortality rate between the 2 groups was compared. The effects of risk factors on survival were estimated by the Cox proportional-hazards model. The survival difference was estimated by the method of Kaplan-Meier. In the subsequent subgroup analysis of the observation group, as before, the Cox proportional-hazards model and the Kaplan-Meier method were used. The 1-year mortality rate of the observation group was considerably higher than that of the control group, which was 86.84% and 32.0%, respectively (P < .005). For nonoperative treatment hip fracture subjects, ESRD, age ≥ 82, BMI (BMI) < 20, high Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) and low Barthel Index (BI) were associated with a low survival curve (P < .05). In the subsequent multivariable subgroup analyses, for nonoperative treatment hip fracture subjects with ESRD, high CCI and low BI were also the independent risk factors of mortality. For nonoperative treatment hip fracture subjects, ESRD, old age, low BMI, high CCI and low BI were the independent risk factors of mortality. For hip fracture subjects with ESRD, nonoperative treatment was associated with excess high 1-year mortality rate, especially for patients with high CCI and low BI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to explore the experiences from the period after the choice was made for palliative, non-operative management for geriatric patients with a hip fracture, to the most important factors in the process, as reported by a proxy. DESIGN Semistructured interviews were conducted between 1 August 2020 and 1 April 2021 to investigate by-proxy reported patient experiences of non-operative management after hip fracture. Interviews followed a topic guide, recorded and transcribed per word. Thematic analysis was used to identify themes in the data. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Patients were retrospectively identified from the electronic patient record. Relatives (proxies) of the patients who underwent palliative, non-operative management were contacted and were asked to participate in a semistructured interview and were named participants. The participants were proxies of the patients since patients were expected to be deceased during the timing of the interview. RESULTS A total of 26 patients were considered eligible for inclusion in this study. The median age of the patients was 88 years (IQR 83-94). The 90-day mortality rate was 92.3%, with a median palliative care period of 11 days (IQR 4-26). A total of 19 participants were subjected to the interview. After thematic analysis, four recurring themes were identified: (1) the decision-making process, (2) pain experience, (3) patient-relative interaction and (4) the active dying. CONCLUSIONS With the introduction of shared decision-making in an acute setting for geriatric patients with hip fracture, proxies reported palliative, non-operative management as an acceptable and adequate option for patients with high risk of adverse outcomes after surgery. The emerged themes in palliative care for patients with hip fracture show great similarity with severe end-stage disease palliative care, with pain identified as the most important factor influencing comfort of the patient and their environment after hip fracture. Future research should focus on further improving targeted analgesia for these patients focusing on acute pain caused by the fracture.

Isolated greater trochanter fracture may impose a comparable risk on older patients' survival as a conventional hip fracture: a population-wide cohort study. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2022; 23:394.

Abstract
Background Isolated greater trochanter fracture (IGT) and conventional hip fracture (HF) affect the same anatomical area but are usually researched separately. HF is associated with high mortality, and its management is well established. In contrast, IGT’s effect on mortality is unknown, and its best management strategies are unclear. This study aims to compare these patient populations, their acute- and post-acute care, physical and occupational therapy use, and up to three-year mortality. Methods This retrospective cohort study is based on population-wide data of Estonia, where routine IGT management is non-operative and includes immediate weight-bearing as tolerated. The study included patients aged ≥ 50 years with a validated index HF or IGT diagnosis between 2009–2017. The fracture populations’ acute- and post-acute care, one-year physical and occupational therapy use and three-year mortality were compared. Results A total of 0.4% (50/11,541) of included patients had an IGT. The baseline characteristics of the fracture cohorts showed a close resemblance, but the IGT patients received substantially less care. Adjusted analyses showed that the IGT patients’ acute care was 4.5 days [3.4; 5.3] shorter they had 39.2 percentage points [25.5; 52.8] lower probability for receiving post-acute care, and they had 50 percentage points [5.5: 36]] lower probability for receiving physical and occupational therapy. The IGT and HF patients’ mortality rates were comparable, being 4% and 9% for one month, 28% and 31% for one year, and 46% and 49% for three years, respectively. Crude and adjusted analyses could not find significant differences in their three-year mortality, showing a p-value of 0.6 and a hazard ratio of 0.9 [0.6; 1.3] for the IGT patients, retrospectively. Conclusions Despite IGT being a relatively minor injury, the evidence from this study suggests that it may impose a comparable risk on older patients’ survival, as does HF due to the close resemblance of the two fracture populations. Therefore, IGT in older patients may signify an underlying need for broad-based medical attention, ensuring need-based, ongoing, coordinated care. Trial registration Retrospectively registered.
