OBJECTIVE: To study the various spirometry ndings and look for its association with smoking history and use of biomass fuels. METHODS: Spirometry ndings of 375 patients who attend Respiratory medicine OPD from year 2017- 2019 were studied. RESULTS: Out of 375 patients, 95 patients were diagnosed as COPD, 62 as bronchial asthma, 149 had normal spirometry and 69 had restriction. CONCLUSION: In this study we concluded that spirometry plays an intergral role in the diagnosis of bronchial asthma, COPD and restrictive lung diseases. It gives an overview of the decline of lung function with increasing age, smokers, occupational lung exposures, family history of bronchial asthma. Restrictive patterns were most commonly seen in patients who came for pre operative evaluation.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Hip fractures are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly population posing significant burden on health care resources. The purpose of this study is to determine the epidemiological analysis of hip fractures at a tertiary care center.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> This was a retrospective study done on patients with hip fractures admitted during the period 2015-2017 in Moradabad district of Uttar Pradesh. Case files and radiographs of patients were reviewed for age, gender, nature of trauma, associated comorbidities, type of fracture and presence of osteoporosis.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> During the 2015-2017 period, 2214 patients with hip fractures were admitted, out of which 1180 were males and rest females. The mean age of patients was 56.8 years with 41.6% belonging to age group 60-75 years. In elderly patients, a low energy simple fall accounted for &gt;85% of fractures with presence of significant osteoporosis (Singh’s index grade 3). The in hospital mortality was 2.1%. Hip fracture characteristics included intertrochanteric 57.81%, femoral neck 30.26% and sub trochanteric 11.93%. Smoking and medical comorbidities were present in a significant number of patients.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> With increased longevity, hip fractures are an increasing health care problem. Various preventive measures for osteoporosis and falls will decline the prevalence of these fractures.</p>
