Abstract Introduction Early mobilisation leads to a two-fold increase in the odds of discharge by 30-days compared to late mobilisation. Whether this association varies by identified reasons for delayed mobilisation is unknown. Methods Audit data linked to hospitalisation records for patients 60 years or older surgically treated for hip fracture in England/Wales 2014–2016. Adjusted proportional odds regression models tested whether the cumulative incidences of discharge differed for early compared with late mobilisation across subgroups defined by dementia, delirium, hypotension, prefracture ambulation and residence, accounting for competing risk of death. Results Overall, 34,253 patients presented with dementia, 9,818 with delirium, and 10,123 with hypotension. Prefracture, 100,983 were ambulant outdoors, 30,834 were ambulant indoors only, 107,144 were admitted from home, and 23,588 from residential care. 10%, 8%, 8%, 12%, and 12% fewer patients with dementia, delirium, hypotension, ambulant indoors only prefracture, or from residential care mobilised early compared to those without dementia, delirium, hypotension, with outdoor ambulation prefracture, or from home. Adjusted odds ratios of discharge by 30-days for early compared with late mobilisation were 1.71 (95% CI 1.62–1.81) for those with dementia, 2.06 (95% CI 1.98–2.15) without dementia, 1.56 (95% CI 1.41–1.73) with delirium, 2.00 (95% CI 1.93–2.07) without delirium, 1.83 (95% CI, 1.66–2.02) with hypotension, 1.95 (95% CI, 1.89–2.02) without hypotension, 2.00 (95% CI 1.92–2.08) with outdoor ambulation prefracture, 1.80 (95% CI 1.70–1.91) with indoor ambulation only prefracture, 2.30 (95% CI 2.19–2.41) from home, and 1.64 (95% CI 1.51–1.77) from residential care. Conclusion Irrespective of dementia, delirium, hypotension, prefracture ambulation or residence, early compared to late mobilisation increased the likelihood of discharge by 30-days. Fewer patients with these conditions, poorer prefracture ambulation, or from residential care mobilised early. There is a need reduce this care gap by ensuring sufficient resource to enable all patients to benefit from early mobilisation.

Abstract Background Early mobilisation leads to a two-fold increase in the adjusted odds of discharge by 30-days compared to late mobilisation. Whether this association varies by patient characteristics identified as reasons for delayed mobilisation is unknown. Methods Audit data was linked to hospitalisation records for 133,319 patients 60 years or older surgically treated for hip fracture in England or Wales between 2014 and 2016. Adjusted proportional odds regression models tested whether the cumulative incidences of discharge differed between those mobilised early and those mobilised late for subgroups defined by dementia, delirium, hypotension, prefracture ambulation, and prefracture residence, accounting for the competing risk of death. Results Overall, 34,253 patients presented with dementia, 9818 with delirium, and 10,123 with hypotension. Prefracture, 100,983 were ambulant outdoors, 30,834 were ambulant indoors only, 107,144 were admitted from home, and 23,588 from residential care. 1502 had incomplete data for ambulation and 2587 for prefracture residence. 10, 8, 8, 12, and 12% fewer patients with dementia, delirium, hypotension, ambulant indoors only prefracture, or admitted from residential care mobilised early when compared to those who presented without dementia, delirium, hypotension, with outdoor ambulation prefracture, or admitted from home. The adjusted odds ratios of discharge by 30-days postoperatively among those who mobilised early compared with those who mobilised late were 1.71 (95% CI 1.62–1.81) for those with dementia, 2.06 (95% CI 1.98–2.15) without dementia, 1.56 (95% CI 1.41–1.73) with delirium, 2.00 (95% CI 1.93–2.07) without delirium, 1.83 (95% CI, 1.66–2.02) with hypotension, 1.95 (95% CI, 1.89–2.02) without hypotension, 2.00 (95% CI 1.92–2.08) with outdoor ambulation prefracture, 1.80 (95% CI 1.70–1.91) with indoor ambulation only prefracture, 2.30 (95% CI 2.19–2.41) admitted from home, and 1.64 (95% CI 1.51–1.77) admitted from residential care, accounting for the competing risk of death. Conclusion Irrespective of dementia, delirium, hypotension, prefracture ambulation or residence, early compared to late mobilisation increased the likelihood of hospital discharge by 30-days postoperatively. However, fewer patients with dementia, delirium, or hypotension, poorer prefracture ambulation, or from residential care mobilised early. There is a need reduce this care gap by ensuring sufficient resource to enable all patients to benefit from early mobilisation.

Abstract Background To maximise the benefits of hip fracture surgery the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence Clinical Guideline recommends mobilisation on the day after hip fracture surgery based a low to moderate quality trial with a small sample size. There is a need to generate additional evidence to support early mobilisation as a new UK Best Practice Tariff (BPT). Objective To determine whether mobilisation timing was associated with the cumulative incidence of hospital discharge by 30-days after hip fracture surgery, accounting for potential confounders and the competing risk of in-hospital death. Method We examined data for 135,105 patients 60 years or older who underwent surgery for nonpathological first hip fracture between January 2014 and December 2016 in any hospital in England or Wales. We tested whether the cumulative incidences of discharge differed between those mobilised early (within 36 hours of surgery) and those mobilised late accounting for potential confounders and the competing risk of in-hospital death. Results 106,722 (79%) of patients first mobilised early. The average rate of discharge was 60.1 (95% CI 59.8–60.5) per 1,000 patient days, varying from 65.2 (95% CI 64.8–65.6) among those who mobilised early to 44.5 (95% CI 43.9–45.1) among those who mobilised late, accounting for the competing risk of death. By 30-days postoperatively, the crude and adjusted odds ratios of discharge were 2.26 (95% CI 2.2–2.32) and 1.93 (95% CI 1.86–1.99) respectively among those who first mobilised early compared to those who mobilised late, accounting for the competing risk of death. Conclusion Early mobilisation led to a near two fold increase in the adjusted odds of discharge by 30-days postoperatively. We recommend inclusion of mobilisation within 36 hours of surgery as a new UK BPT to help reduce delays to mobilisation currently experienced by one-fifth of patients surgically treated for hip fracture.

Early Functional Recovery

Introduction: Postoperative day 1 (POD1) mobilisation is a key clinical indicator for the fragility hip fracture surgery population. This study aimed to evaluate the current trends of POD1 mobilisation at our institution; and to review the relationships between early mobilisation and outcomes of early functional recovery, length of stay (LOS) and discharge destination. Methods: In this preliminary observational study, data pertaining to demographics, pre-morbid function, health status, injury and surgical factors, POD1 mobilisation status and clinical outcomes of interest were retrieved from eligible patients. Patients who attained POD1 ambulation formed the “Early Ambulation (EA)” Group while the remaining patients formed the “Delayed Ambulation (DA)” group. Data were analysed for any significant difference between the groups. Results: 115 patients were included in the analysis. The rate of patients achieving at least sitting out of bed on POD1 was 80.0% (92 patients) which was comparable with data available from international hip fracture audit databases. 55 patients (47.8%) formed the EA group and 60 patients (52.5%) formed the DA group. EA group was approximately nine times more likely to achieve independence in ambulation at discharge compared to the DA group (adjusted odds ratio 9.20; 95% Confidence Interval 1.50-56.45; p = 0.016). There were observed trends of shorter LOS and more proportion of home discharge in the EA group compared to DA group (p > 0.05). Conclusion: This is the first local study to offer benchmark of the POD1 mobilisation status for this population. Patients who attained POD1 ambulation had better early functional recovery.

Aims Low haemoglobin (Hb) at admission has been identified as a risk factor for mortality for elderly patients with hip fractures in some studies. However, this remains controversial. This study aims to analyze the association between Hb level at admission and mortality in elderly patients with hip fracture undergoing surgery. Patients and Methods All consecutive patients (prospective database) admitted with hip fracture operated in a tertiary hospital between 2012 and 2016 were analyzed. We collected patient characteristics, time to surgery, duration and type of surgery, comorbidities, Hb at admission, nadir of Hb after surgery, the use and amount of red blood cells (RBCs) transfusion products, postoperative complications, and death. The main outcome measures were mortality at 30 days, 90 days, 180 days, and one year after surgery. Results We included 829 patients; the mean age was 81 years (sd 11). Mortality at 30 days, 90 days, 180 days, and one year was 5.7%, 12.3%, 18.1%, and 23.5%, respectively. The highest mortality was observed in patients aged over 80 years (162/557, 29%) and in male patients (85/267, 32%). Survival at 90 days, 180 days, and one year after surgery was significantly lower in patients with a Hb level below 120 g/l at admission. In multivariate analysis, Hb level below 120 g/l at admission was found to be an independent factor associated with mortality (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 1.68 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.22 to 2.31); p = 0.001), along with age (aHR 1.06 (95% CI 1.04 to 1.06); p < 0.001), male sex (aHR 2.19 (95% CI 1.61 to 2.96); p < 0.001), and need for RBC transfusions (aHR 1.10 (95% CI 1.02 to 1.19); p = 0.01). Conclusion Our results suggest that low Hb at admission along with age and RBC transfusions is significantly associated with short- and long-term mortality after hip fracture surgery, independently of comorbidity confounders. Further studies should be performed to understand how preoperative Hb could be taken into account in perioperative management. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2019;101-B:1122–1128.

Abstract Background Following hip fracture surgery, patients from residential care are frequently excluded from inpatient rehabilitation. We aimed to assess the impact of place of residence and other factors such as frailty on rehabilitation outcomes after hip fracture surgery. Methods Retrospective cohort study. Outcome measures included Functional Independence Measure efficiency, discharge destination and recovery of pre-fracture mobility. Univariable and multivariable linear or logistic regression analyses were performed. Setting One general rehabilitation and two geriatric evaluation and management wards in a large public tertiary teaching hospital. Participants A total of 844 patients who underwent inpatient rehabilitation after hip fracture surgery from 2010 to 2018. Results There were 139 (16%) patients from residential care. Being from residential care was not an independent predictor of poor outcomes. Premorbid frailty (Clinical Frailty Scale) was the strongest independent predictor of poorer Functional Independence Measure efficiency, inability to recover pre-fracture mobility and return to community dwelling. Dementia and delirium were also independently predictive of poor outcomes across all measures. Age &gt; 90 years was independently predictive of inability to recover pre-fracture mobility and return to community dwelling. Conclusion Being from residential care is not independently associated with poor outcomes following inpatient rehabilitation after hip fracture surgery and should not be the basis for excluding these patients from rehabilitation. Major predictors of poorer outcomes include premorbid frailty, dementia, delirium and age &gt; 90 years. If able and motivated, those with potentially reversible functional limitations should be given the opportunity to participate in inpatient rehabilitation as even small gains can have a significant impact on quality of life.

Abstract Older adults with dementia are more prone to have adverse health outcomes following hip fracture surgery. However, individuals with dementia and hip fracture are older and have more co-morbidities; these baseline differences can bias estimates of the influence of dementia. This study aims to investigate how dementia influences disposition, mortality rates and readmission rates at 365 days after hip surgery in older adults over age 65, after accounting for baseline factors such as socioeconomic status, health behaviors, co-morbidities, and type of hip fracture repair. A cohort of 1172 patients who had hip fracture surgery between October 2015 and December 2018 was extracted from electronic health records; among those, 376 had a diagnosis of dementia. Inverse probability of treatment weighting using propensity scores method was used to reduce the influence of factors that may confound the relationship between dementia status and hip surgery outcomes. Logistic regression was applied to estimate influences on discharge disposition and Cox proportional hazards model for one-year mortality. To account for competing risk of death, a Fine and Gray regression model was used to calculate subdistribution hazard ratios of readmission. Disparities in long-term surgical outcomes in patients with dementia were found. Results show that dementia was a significant predictor for being discharged to facilities (OR=1.92, 95% CI 1.09, 3.39, p=.025), death (HR=1.98, 95% CI 1.50-2.62, p&lt;.0001) and being readmitted within one year (HR=1.31, 95% CI 1.15-1.50, p&lt;.0001). These findings call for more efforts in developing effective multidisciplinary perioperative assessments and rehabilitation for patients with dementia.

Abstract Introduction The management of patients with a hip fracture is affected by the use of oral anticoagulants. A cross-sectional analysis was undertaken to investigate health outcome differences in those anticoagulated compared to those not anticoagulated. Methods Patients aged 50 years and over presenting to a large university hospital with hip fractures were identified from the service registry. Patient characteristics and health outcomes between those not anticoagulated were compared with those anticoagulated (warfarin and direct oral anticoagulants, DOAC). Results 200/2307 (9%) patients were anticoagulated. 84% were on warfarin, and the rest a DOAC. Compared to those anticoagulated, there was a higher prevalence of dementia (25% vs. 18%, p = 0.02) and a lower prevalence of cardiovascular disease (54% vs. 78%, p < 0.01), atrial fibrillation (10% vs. 82%, p < 0.01), and polypharmacy (55% vs. 76%, p < 0.01). Renal function was lower in the anticoagulated group. Time to operation for those not anticoagulated and anticoagulated was a median (IQR) of 25 (15) and 27 (18) hours. There was no difference in blood transfusion and hospital mortality. Postoperative complications were similar except a higher rate of renal failure (14% vs. 19%, p = 0.04) and heart failure (1% vs. 5%, p < 0.01), and a longer length of stay [median (IQR): 14 (10) vs. 16 (12) days] in the anticoagulated group. This was no longer significant after adjustment of confounders. Conclusion There was no statistically significant difference in health outcomes between those anticoagulated and those not after adjusting for patient characteristics. It was feasible to avoid significant delay in hip fracture surgery in those anticoagulated.
