Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of nutritional intervention in elderly subjects after hip fracture.
Get PDFMalnutrition often occurs in the elderly. The department of Epidemiology of Maastricht University, in collaboration with the departments of Surgery, Orthopaedics and Dietetics of the Maastricht University Hospital, the Atrium Medical Centre and the Orbis Medical Centre, investigated the effects and costs of extra nutritional care in elderly with a hip fracture. During 3 months, the patients received intensive coaching by a dietician (10 contact moments), if necessary combined with fluid nutrition. This appeared to lead to an improvement of nutritional intake and nutritional state of the patients, but it had no effect on the duration of hospitalization or recovery care, nor on the number of complications or the functioning of the participants. The costs of this intensive nutritional care turned out remarkably low: average €600 per patient, which is only 3% of the total care costs per patient with a hip fracture (appr. € 23.000)
Model-theoretic properties of the m-c.e. degrees
Get PDFIn this article, we investigate model-theoretic properties of various Turing degree structures in the hierarchy of Δ 0 2-sets which is well known in the literature as Ershov Hierarchy. In particular, questions of definability of m-c.e. degrees in the structure of n-c.e. degrees, where m<n, elementary equivalences, extendability of partial order extensions are considered. © 2010 The Author.

Improved Detection of Scaphoid Fractures with High-Resolution Peripheral Quantitative CT Compared with Conventional CT
No full textBackground: Computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging, and bone scintigraphy are second-line imaging techniques that are frequently used for the evaluation of patients with a clinically suspected scaphoid fracture. However, as a result of varying diagnostic performance results, no true reference standard exists for scaphoid fracture diagnosis. We hypothesized that the use of high-resolution peripheral quantitative CT (HR-pQCT) in patients with a clinically suspected scaphoid fracture could improve scaphoid fracture detection compared with conventional CT in the clinical setting. Methods: The present study included 91 consecutive patients (>= 18 years of age) who presented to the emergency department with a clinically suspected scaphoid fracture between December 2017 and October 2018. All patients were clinically reassessed within 14 days after first presentation, followed by CT and HR-pQCT. If a scaphoid fracture was present, the fracture type was determined according to the Herbert classification system and correlation between CT and HR-pQCT was estimated with use of the Kendall W statistic or coefficient of concordance (W) (the closer to 1, the higher the correlation). Results: The cohort included 45 men and 46 women with a median age of 52 years (interquartile range, 29 to 67 years). HR-pQCT revealed a scaphoid fracture in 24 patients (26%), whereas CT revealed a scaphoid fracture in 15 patients (16%). Patients with a scaphoid fracture were younger and more often male. The correlation between CT and HR-pQCT was high for scaphoid fracture type according to the Herbert classification system (W = 0.793; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.57 to 0.91; p < 0.001) and very high for scaphoid fracture location (W = 0.955; 95%, CI 0.90 to 0.98; p < 0.001). Conclusions: In the present study, the number of patients diagnosed with a scaphoid fracture was 60% higher when using HR-pQCT as compared with CT. These findings imply that a substantial proportion of fractures-in this study, more than one-third-will be missed by the current application of CT scanning in patients with a clinically suspected scaphoid fracture.Daniels, AM (corresponding author), VieCuri Med Ctr, Dept Surg, Venlo, Netherlands ; Maastricht Univ, NUTRIM Sch Nutr & Translat Res Metab, Maastricht, Netherlands.

Trends in oral anti-osteoporosis drug prescription in the United Kingdom between 1990 and 2012: variation by age, sex, geographic location and ethnicity
No full textIntroduction: Given the expected increase in the number of patients with osteoporosis and fragility fractures it is important to have concise information on trends in prescription rates of anti-osteoporosis drugs (AOD).Methods: We undertook a retrospective observational study using the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) in the UK between 1990 and 2012 in subjects 50 years or older, stratified by age, sex, geographic region and ethnicity. Yearly prescription incidence rates of any AOD and of each specific AOD were calculated as the number of patients first prescribed these AODs per 10,000 person-years (py).Results: In women, yearly rates of first prescription of any AOD increased from 1990 to 2006 (from 2.3 to 169.7 per 10,000 py), followed by a plateau and a 12% decrease in the last three years. In men, a less steep increase from 1990 to 2007 (from 1.4 to 45.3 per 10,000 py) was followed by a plateau from 2008 onwards. Yearly rates of first prescription of any AOD increased up to the age of 85–89 years (248.9 per 10,000 py in women and 119.3 in men). There were marked differences between ethnic groups and regions. Bisphosphonates were the most frequently prescribed AODs: etidronate till 2000, and then subsequently alendronate.Conclusion: We have demonstrated marked secular changes in rates of anti-osteoporosis drug prescription over the last two decades. The plateau (and decrease amongst women) in rates in recent years, set against an ever ageing population is worrying, suggesting that the well-documented care gap in osteoporosis treatment persists. The differences in prescription rates by geographic location and ethnicity raise intriguing questions in relation to underlying fracture rates, provision of care and health behaviour.Summary: We studied the prescription incidence of anti-osteoporosis drugs (AOD) from 1990 to 2012 in the UK CPRD. Overall AOD prescription incidence showed a strong increase from 1990 to 2006, followed by a plateau in both sexes and a decrease amongst women in the last three years
