Abstract Summary The incidence rate of hip fracture in Tottori Prefecture tended to increase until 2018 in men, but it did not increase after 2010 in women. By type of fracture, the incidence rate of femoral neck fractures also increased over time in men, but no other changes were observed from 2010. Purpose The aims of this study were to determine the sex-, age-, and fracture-type-specific incidence rates of hip fractures in Tottori Prefecture between 2007 and 2018 and to compare the results with our past results to identify changes over time. Methods All hip fractures in people aged 35 years or older living in Tottori Prefecture were surveyed from 2007 to 2018 throughout the entire prefecture, and the age- and sex-specific incidence rates were calculated. The incidence rates from 1986 to 1988, 1992 to 1994, 1998 to 2000, and 2004 to 2006 previously reported were used for the analysis. Results In men, the age-adjusted number of patients adjusted by demographic structure based on the mean incidence rate for each 3-year period from 1986 to 2018 showed an increase in incidence over time compared with the incidence for 1986–1988 (p < 0.001). In women, the incidence rose over time compared with the incidence for 1986–1988 until 2004–2006 (p < 0.001), and no further increase was observed from 2010. The age-specific incidence rates of neck fracture in men were higher in 2010–2012 and 2016–2018 compared with 2004–2006 (p < 0.001), but those in women showed no increase with time. Those of trochanteric fracture did not change over time in either men or women. Conclusion The hip fracture incidence rate in Tottori Prefecture, Japan, tended to increase until 2018 in men, but it did not increase after 2010 in women.

Abstract Background Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is the most common form of medium and large vessel vasculitis. Diagnosis remains difficult since there are a multitude of symptoms experienced by patients with GCA and if not promptly identified or treated, patients with GCA are at risk of irreversible visual loss. Therefore, a clear understanding of recent trends in incidence is important for clinicians, researchers and policy-holders to better understand and address future healthcare resource needs. Our objective was to estimate the annual UK incidence of GCA and assess whether this is changing over time. Methods We used the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD), a database of routinely recorded primary care records from across the UK. CPRD is representative of the UK population and contains patient information from approximately 15% of the UK population. For each year from 1992-2017, the number of patients with a first Read coded record of GCA in that year, and aged 40 years or older at the time of diagnosis, was determined. The annual denominator population included the registered practice population without a prior record of GCA, aged 40 years or older. Annual incidence per 10,000 person-years (P-Y) at risk was derived overall and stratified by age, gender and region of the UK. Trends over time were modelled using Joinpoint regression. To be confident of the primary care diagnosis of GCA, a sensitivity analysis was undertaken which included a prescription of corticosteroids alongside the GCA Read code. Results There was a decrease in annual incidence of GCA in the UK between 1992 and 2017. Incidence was highest in 1994 (2.29/10,000 P-Y; 95% CI: 1.96, 2.67). This decreased to 1.51/10,000 P-Y in 2006, after which the incidence rates stabilised. Incidence rates for women were higher than men, irrespective of year. Incidence peaked between 70 and 89 years of age, with females aged 70-79 having the highest overall incidence rate of 5.20/10,000 P-Y (95% CI: 5.00, 5.40). The region of the UK with the highest incidence rate of GCA from 2015-2017 was Yorkshire & the Humber with 2.63/10,000 P-Y. The regions with the lowest incidence of 1.13/10,000 P-Y were the North East and West Midlands. Sensitivity analysis gave similar patterns. Conclusion The incidence of GCA in the UK has decreased slightly in recent years, which may reflect developments in more definitive early GCA diagnosis through fast-track clinics and improvements in imaging. However, further research into the presenting features of GCA in primary care is required. A set of early clinical features and comorbidities that are positively associated and predictive of a subsequent diagnosis of GCA would improve diagnosis and avert significant complications associated with delayed treatment.

Abstract Background and Aims The incidence of fractures is markedly higher in dialysis patients than in pre-dialysis patients, but it is not clear to what extent the initiation of dialysis as such is associated with accelerated fracture incidence or if fracture rates are already increasing prior to dialysis start among incident dialysis patients. Here we investigated the temporal pattern of occurrence of a first major osteoporotic fracture (MOF) among incident dialysis patients in the pre-dialysis period and in the period following dialysis initiation. Method We analyzed data from Swedish Renal Registry (SRR) and identified 9041 incident dialysis patients (2005 -2015; age 67 years, 67% men). We identified all first MOF (MOFfirst) in hip, spine, humerus and forearm during 12 months before and after dialysis initiation. Using flexible parametric hazard models and Fine-Gray analysis accounting for competing risk of death and renal transplantation, we estimated adjusted fracture incidence rates and predictors of MOFfirst. Results During the whole follow-up period, there were 361 fractures including 196 hip fractures. The crude incidence rate of MOFfirst (n=157) before dialysis initiation was 17/1000 patient-years and after initiation of dialysis the incidence rate of MOFfirst increased to 24/1000 patient-years. Overall the adjusted MOFfirst incidence rates increased from 6 months before initiation of dialysis, fluctuated, and stabilized at a higher rate than that of the baseline rate after 12 months. The adjusted hip fracture rate rose steeply 3 months before dialysis initiation, declined 3 months after dialysis initiation, fluctuated, and then became stabilized. On the contrary, the adjusted incidence rates of other fractures, i.e., non-hip fractures, appeared to be stable all the time, before as well as after initiation of dialysis. Female gender, higher age and previous history of MOF had a negative impact on fracture incidence rates before and after dialysis initiation. Conclusion We conclude that the incidence of MOFfirst is increasing already from 6 months prior to dialysis initiation among incident dialysis patients, and that there is a further increase following dialysis initiation. For hip fracture, which was the most common MOF, the temporal pattern of incidence rates was compressed to a high risk period lasting from 3 months before to 3 months after dialysis initiation, underlining the need of increased attention to prevent hip fractures in incident dialysis patients during this critical period.

The risk of major amputation is higher after urgently planned endovascular therapy for chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). The aim of this nationwide cohort study was to compare outcomes between patients with and without DM following urgently planned open revascularization for CLTI from 2010 to 2014. Out of 1537 individuals registered in the Swedish Vascular Registry, 569 were registered in the National Diabetes Register. A propensity score adjusted Cox regression analysis was conducted to compare outcome between the groups with and without DM. Median follow-up was 4.3 years and 4.5 years for patients with and without DM, respectively. Patients with DM more often had foot ulcers ( p = 0.034) and had undergone more previous amputations ( p = 0.001) at baseline. No differences in mortality, cardiovascular death, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), or major amputation were observed between groups. The incidence rate of stroke was 70% higher (95% CI: 1.11–2.59; p = 0.0137) and the incidence rate of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) 39% higher (95% CI: 1.00–1.92; p = 0.0472) among patients with DM in comparison to those without. Open vascular surgery remains a first-line option for a substantial number of patients with CLTI, especially for limb salvage in patients with DM. The higher incidence rates of stroke and AMI among patients with DM following open vascular surgery for infrainguinal CLTI require specific consideration preoperatively with the aim of optimizing medical treatment to improve cardiovascular outcome postoperatively.

Abstract Summary In Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, the number of hip fractures increased during 2013–2017 compared to 2008–2012. However, the estimated overall incidence rate increased only in femoral neck fractures in men aged ≥75 and women aged ≥85. Purpose The incidence rate of hip fractures in Japan has plateaued or decreased. We investigated the annual hip fracture occurrences in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, from 2008 to 2017. Methods Patients aged 65 years and above who sustained hip fractures between 2008 and 2017 and were treated at one of the participating 11 hospitals were included. The total number of beds in these institutions was 3701, accounting for 21.5% of the 17,242 acute-care beds in Kyoto Prefecture. The change in incidence rate was estimated utilizing the population according to the national census conducted in 2010 and 2015. Results The total number of hip fractures was 10,060, with 47.5% femoral neck fractures and 52.5% trochanteric fractures. A decrease in number was seen only in trochanteric fractures in the group of 75- to 84-year-old women. The population-adjusted numbers of femoral neck fractures showed a significant increase in all age groups in men, whereas in women, there was an increase in femoral neck fractures in the ≥85 group and trochanteric fractures in the age group 65–74, and a decrease in trochanteric fractures in the age group 75–84. The estimated change in incidence rate showed an increase in femoral neck fractures in men aged ≥75 and women aged ≥85. Conclusion In Kyoto Prefecture, the number of hip fractures increased in the second half of the study period (2013–2017) compared to the first half (2008–2012). However, the incidence rate had not increased, except in femoral neck fractures in men aged ≥75 and women aged ≥85.

Abstract: Introduction: Although several national studies reported on the risk factors for contralateral hip fracture, there are no data about the prognostic factors of the time until contralateral hip fractures. Aim: The aim of the study was to analyse the impact of different prognostic factors on the time until the development of contralateral fracture and to determine the incidence of contralateral hip fractures after femoral neck fractures. Method: Patients aged 60 years and over with contralateral hip fracture between 01 Jan 2000 and 31 Dec 2008 were identified among those who suffered their femoral neck fracture in Hungary in 2000. Risk factors as age, sex, comorbidities, type of fracture and surgery, place of living and hospitals providing treatment for primary fracture were analysed by one way ANOVA focusing on the time until the development of contralateral hip fracture. Results: 312 patients met the inclusion criteria. The incidence of contralateral hip fracture after femoral neck fracture ranged between 1.5% and 2.1%, the cumulative incidence was 8.24%. The mean time until the development of contralateral hip fracture was 1159.8 days. The incidence of contralateral hip fracture showed no significant deviation. Significantly shorter time (p = 0.010) was detected until the contralateral hip fracture in older patients with femoral neck fracture. Conclusions: The yearly incidence of contralateral hip fracture showed no significant difference by patients with femoral neck fracture over 60 years. The shorter time until the contralateral hip fracture by the older age groups highlights the need of elaboration of prevention strategies. Orv Hetil. 2018; 159(38): 1543–1547.

The Impact

Introduction: As the number of patients sustaining hip fractures increases, interventions aimed at improving patient comfort and reducing complication burden acquire increased importance. Frailty, cognitive impairment, and difficulty in assessing pain control characterize this population. In order to inform future care, a review of pain assessment and the use of preoperative intravenous paracetamol (IVP) is presented. Materials and Methods: Systematic review of preoperative IVP administration in patients presenting with a hip fracture. Results: Intravenous paracetamol is effective in the early management of pain control in the hip fracture population. There is a considerable decrease in use of breakthrough pain medications when compared with other pain relief modalities. Additionally, IVP reduces the incidence of opioid-induced complications, reduces length of stay, and lowers mean pain scores. Another significant finding of this study is the poor administration of all analgesics to patients with hip fracture with up to 72% receiving no prehospital analgesia. Discussion: The potential benefits of IVP as routine in the early management of hip fracture-related pain are clear. Studies of direct comparison between analgesia regimes to inform optimum bundles of analgesic care are sparse. This study highlights the need for properly constructed pathway-driven comparator studies of contemporary analgesia regimes, with IVP as a central feature to optimize pain control and minimize analgesia-related morbidity in this vulnerable population.

Background: Skin cancer is common in North America. Incidence rate trends are potentially important in the assessment of the effects of measures to increase sun awareness in the population as well as measures to reduce sun damage. Objective: To determine the incidence of basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) in a geographically defined Canadian population over a 40-year period. Methods: Data were obtained from the BC Cancer Registry for the calendar years 1973, 1983, 1993, and 2003. Results: Age-standardized incidence rates increased significantly from 1973 to 2003 for BCC, SCC, and CMM. Limitations: The ethnic makeup of British Columbia has changed over time, and a novel method of accounting for the effect of this on skin cancer rates is presented. Conclusion: The incidence rate for skin cancers continued to rise in British Columbia, but there appears to have been a decline in the incidence of CMM and BCC in the youngest cohorts.

Objectives:To study the risk of falling and self-efficacy in elderly patients with hip fracture. Methodology: Forty elderly patients with hip fractures that were caused by falling were admitted into our hospital from April 2018 to April 2019, and were enrolled into this study. All patients were assessed by using the Morse Fall Scale (MFS) and Falls Efficacy Scale(FES).The basic situation of the patients with hip fractures caused by falling and the scores of MFS and FES before and after falling were evaluated. Results: Results showed that the number of patients with femoral neck fractures accounted for 70% out of all patients, and the number of patients with intertrochanteric fractures accounted for the remaining30%of the patients. The number of patients with academic qualification below primary school is 16, the number of patients with middle high school education is 11 and the number of patients with high school education and above is 13. Slipping is the cause of hip fracture that accounted for the most in patients, followed by outing activities, whereas least patients with hip fractures was caused by falling in nursing home. There were 29 patients’ whoused crutches or walking aids and this number was more than that of those who required the devices. After the MFS and FES analyses, the results (scores of MFS and FES) showed that the risk before the fall was lower. In contrast, the risk of fracture and post-surgery after the fall was greatly increased. Conclusion: The elderly patients with hip fractures were found to have increased risk of falling and thus, these patients require good care.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the incidence of osteoporotic hip fracture in the Macarena Health Area (Seville).Setting and participantsThis was a prospective observational study that collected all osteoporotic hip fractures that occurred between March 2013 and February 2014 at the Clinical Unit of Traumatology and Orthopaedics. All cases collected during the first 6 months of the study were followed for 1 year after the occurrence of the event.Outcome measuresWe evaluated the incidence of osteoporotic hip fractures in the Macarena Health Area (Seville) from 1 March 2013 to 28 February 2014, and we compared the incidence with that in 2 previous studies carried out with the same methodology in 1994 and 2006. Furthermore, we calculated the morbidity and degree of disability 1 year after the fracture occurred and determined mortality and the associated factors.ResultsThe overall incidence was 228 per 100 000 individuals/year (95% CI 204.5 to 251.6), and the incidence was higher in women than in men. In women, the incidence rate decreased in all age groups over time, while in men, the incidence rate increased. The mortality rate 1 year after the episode was 27.2%. The factors associated with overall mortality were a body mass index below 25 kg/m2, renal failure and low plasma proteins.ConclusionsOur results show a high incidence of osteoporotic hip fracture that is increasing in men, and in men it is associated with a higher mortality than in women. There is room to improve the modifiable factors associated with mortality and the available rehabilitation interventions to reduce the disability associated with these fractures.

Abstract Background Palliative care is becoming increasingly important because the number of patients with an incurable disease is growing and their survival is improving. Previous research tells us that early palliative care has the potential to improve quality of life (QoL) in patients with advanced cancer and their relatives. According to limited research on palliative care in the Netherlands, patients with advanced cancer and their relatives find current palliative care suboptimal. The aim of the eQuiPe study is to understand the experienced quality of care (QoC) and QoL of patients with advanced cancer and their relatives to further improve palliative care. Methods A prospective longitudinal observational cohort study is conducted among patients with advanced cancer and their relatives. Patients and relatives receive a questionnaire every 3 months regarding experienced QoC and QoL during the palliative trajectory. Bereaved relatives receive a final questionnaire 3 to 6 months after the patients’ death. Data from questionnaires are linked with detailed clinical data from the Netherlands Cancer Registry (NCR). By means of descriptive statistics we will examine the experienced QoC and QoL in our study population. Differences between subgroups and changes over time will be assessed while adjusting for confounding factors. Discussion This study will be the first to prospectively and longitudinally explore experienced QoC and QoL in patients with advanced cancer and their relatives simultaneously. This study will provide us with population-based information in patients with advanced cancer and their relatives including changes over time. Results from the study will inform us on how to further improve palliative care. Trial registration Trial NL6408 (NTR6584). Registered in Netherlands Trial Register on June 30, 2017.
