Reproductive factors and fatal hip fractures. A Norwegian prospective study of 63,000 women. (1/1367)

STUDY OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of reproductive variables (age at menarche, menopause, first and last birth as well as parity, lactation, and abortions) on hip fracture mortality. DESIGN AND SETTING: A prospective study in Norway with more than 60,000 women followed up for 29 years. A total of 465 deaths as a result of hip fracture were recorded. MAIN RESULTS: Statistically significant linear relations (p < or = 0.02) were found between both age at menarche and length of reproductive period (defined as age at menopause to age at menarche) and the mortality of hip fractures in women aged less than 80. The death rate for women with a late menarche (> or = 17 years) was twice that of the women with relatively early menarche (< or = 13 years). Compared with women with less than 30 years between menopause and menarche, the mortality rate ratio in women with more than 38 reproductive years was 0.5. We also found an inverse relation with age at first birth. CONCLUSIONS: This study supports by hypothesis that an early menarche and a long reproductive period protect against hip fracture mortality. High age at first birth may also be protective. (+info)

Mortality league tables: do they inform or mislead? (2/1367)

OBJECTIVE: To examine certain methodological issues related to the publication of mortality league tables, with particular reference to severity adjustment and sample size. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis of inpatient hospital records. SETTING: 22 hospitals in North West Thames health region for the fiscal year 1992-3. SUBJECTS: All admissions with a principal diagnosis of aortic aneurysm, carcinoma of the colon, cervical cancer, cholecystectomy, fractured neck of femur, head injury, ischaemic heart disease, and peptic ulcer. MAIN MEASURES: In hospital mortality rates adjusted by disease severity and calculated on the basis of both admissions and episodes. RESULTS: The numbers of deaths from specific conditions were often small and the corresponding confidence intervals wide. Rankings of hospitals by death rate are sensitive to adjustment for severity of disease. There are some differences that cannot be explained using routine data. CONCLUSIONS: Comparison of crude death rates may be misleading. Some adjustment for differences in severity is possible, but current systems are unsatisfactory. Differences in death rates should be studied, but because of the scope for manipulating data, this should be undertaken in a collaborative rather than a confrontational way. Any decision to publish league tables of death rates will be on political rather than scientific grounds. (+info)

Hip fractures among infertile women. (3/1367)

A retrospective cohort study was conducted in a population-based inception cohort of 1,157 Olmsted County, Minnesota, women with infertility (failure to conceive after 1 year despite intercourse without contraception) that was first diagnosed at the Mayo Clinic (Rochester, Minnesota) between 1935 and 1964. In this relatively young cohort, 31 hip fractures were observed during 35,849 person-years of follow-up; 36.5 had been expected (standardized incidence ratio = 0.85, 95% confidence interval 0.58-1.20). Standardized incidence ratios did not differ by type or cause of infertility. The data suggested that women with consistently irregular menses may have a greater risk of hip fracture. This finding should be confirmed by additional studies with longer follow-up periods and with assessment of other fracture outcomes. (+info)

Residential status and risk of hip fracture. (4/1367)

OBJECTIVE: to examine the association between residential status and risk of hip fracture in older people. DESIGN: population-based case-control study. SETTING: Auckland, New Zealand. SUBJECTS: a random sample of all individuals > or = 60 years, hospitalized with a fracture of the proximal femur between July 1991 and February 1994. Controls were age and gender frequency-matched to the cases, randomly selected from a random sample of general practitioners. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: radiographically-confirmed fracture of the proximal femur. Fractures sustained as a result of major trauma, such as in a motor vehicle crash, and those associated with pre-existing pathological conditions were excluded. RESULTS: individuals living in institutions were almost four times more likely to sustain a hip fracture [age- and gender-adjusted odds ratio (OR)=3.8; 95% confidence interval (CI): 3.0-4.8] than those living in private homes. After adjustment for potential confounding factors, the risk of hip fracture associated with living in an institution remained significantly increased (P< 0.0001), although the magnitude of the risk was somewhat diminished (OR=2.2; 95% (CI: 1.5-3.5). CONCLUSIONS: living in an institution is associated with an increased risk of hip fracture in older people. Specific factors that place these individuals at increased risk need to be identified, in order to develop intervention strategies. (+info)

Alcohol intake, beverage preference, and risk of hip fracture in men and women. Copenhagen Centre for Prospective Population Studies. (5/1367)

The authors prospectively studied the association between quantity and type of alcohol intake and risk of hip fracture among 17,868 men and 13,917 women. Analyses were based on pooled data from three population studies conducted in 1964-1992 in Copenhagen, Denmark. During follow-up, 500 first hip fractures were identified in women and 307 in men. A low to moderate weekly alcohol intake (1-27 drinks for men and 1-13 drinks for women) was not associated with hip fracture. Among men, the relative risk of hip fracture gradually increased for those who drank 28 drinks or more per week (relative risk (RR) = 1.75, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.06-2.89 for 28-41 drinks; RR = 5.28, 95% CI 2.60-10.70 for 70 or more drinks) as compared with abstainers. Women who drank 14-27 drinks per week had an age-adjusted relative risk of hip fracture of 1.44 (95% CI 1.03-2.03), but the association weakened after adjustment for confounders (RR = 1.32, 95% CI 0.92-1.87). The risk of hip fracture differed according to the type of alcohol preferred: preferrers of beer had a higher risk of hip fracture (RR = 1.46, 95% CI 1.11-1.91) than preferrers of other types of alcoholic beverages. The corresponding relative risks for preferrers of wine and spirits were 0.77 (95% CI 0.58-1.03) and 0.82 (95% CI 0.58-1.14), respectively. In conclusion, an alcohol intake within the current European drinking limits does not influence the risk of hip fracture, whereas an alcohol intake of more than 27 drinks per week is a major risk factor for men.

Costs and outcomes of hip fracture and stroke, 1984 to 1994. (6/1367)

OBJECTIVES: This study quantified changes in Medicare payments and outcomes for hip fracture and stroke from 1984 to 1994. METHODS: We studied National Long Term Care Survey respondents who were hospitalized for hip fracture (n = 887) or stroke (n = 878) occurring between 1984 and 1994. Changes in Medicare payment and survival were primary outcomes. We also assessed changes in functional and cognitive status. RESULTS: Medicare payments within 6 months increased following hip fracture (103%) or stroke (51%). Survival improved for stroke (P < .001) and to a lesser extent for hip fracture (P = .16). Condition-specific improvements were found in functional and cognitive status. CONCLUSIONS: During the period 1984 to 1994, Medicare payments for hip fracture and stroke rose and there were some improvements in survival and other outcomes. (+info)

Mental distress and risk of hip fracture. Do broken hearts lead to broken bones? (7/1367)

OBJECTIVE: Mental distress may entail increased risk of hip fracture, but it is uncertain whether the effect consists solely of an indirect effect through use of medication, or whether it is also mediated through other mechanism. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between mental distress and risk of hip fracture in women, adjusted for medication (that is, use of tranquillisers/sedatives or hypnotics). DESIGN: A three year follow up of hip fracture was conducted on 18,612 women, consisting of 92.5% of all women aged 50 years or older in a Norwegian county. Three hundred and twenty nine suffered a hip fracture. A mental distress index was based on questions about life dissatisfaction, nervousness, loneliness, sleep disorders, troubled and uneasy feelings, depression and impairment attributable to psychological complaints. Relative risk with 95% confidence intervals (CI) of hip fracture with respect to mental distress were controlled for medication, age, body mass index (BMI), smoking, physical inactivity, and physical illness by means of Cox regression. RESULTS: The 10% of women with the highest mental distress had more than twofold increased risk of hip fracture compared with the 10% of women with the lowest mental distress, after adjustment for age and medication. The relative risk was 1.95 (95% CI 1.2, 3.3) after additional control for BMI, smoking, physical inactivity, and physical illness. The relative risk of hip fracture for daily users of medication compared with never users was 2.1 (95% CI 1.6, 2.9). After adjusting for mental distress it was 1.5 (95% CI 1.0, 2.2). CONCLUSIONS: Risk of hip fracture was positively related to mental distress, also after adjustment for medication use. The effect of tranquillisers/sedatives or hypnotics on hip fracture risk may be overestimated in studies with no adjustments for mental distress. (+info)

Massive pulmonary embolus in a 14 year old boy. (8/1367)

Pulmonary embolus in children is rare. A case of massive pulmonary embolus, after surgery, in a child of 14 years is described. Accident and emergency doctors should be aware that pulmonary embolus can occur in children and exercise a high index of suspicion for the diagnosis in those patients with risk factors for the condition who present acutely with typical symptoms such as dyspnoea, chest pain, haemoptysis, or collapse.
