Abstract Purpose Knowledge about factors associated with mortality after hip fracture is important both for analytical and clinical purposes. This study aimed to assess patient risk commonly used composite scores prediction of 1-year in a large cohort. Methods Hip data were prospectively recorded local hospital database. Consecutive fractures from 2006 2020 included, 6040 5496 patients. Associations between different exposures estimated using univariate two multivariate logistic regression...
BackgroundAnkle joint arthroplasty is increasingly used in primary or secondary end-stage osteoarthritis. Initial reports on the fourth-generation Infinity total ankle system showed a high failure rate due to component loosening. The objective of this study was assess complications, reoperations, patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) and radiographic findings after 1 year.MethodsData were prospectively collected local surgery registry between January 2018 March 2023. All cases using with...
Treatment with direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) is increasing among hip-fracture patients, accompanying safety concerns regarding spinal anesthesia (SA). The aim of this study was to investigate if DOAC use associated increased waiting time before surgery, mortality, or other adverse events.
Background Alcohol consumption is a well-known risk factor for sustaining road traffic injuries worldwide. Malawi low-income country with large and increasing burden of injuries. It has generally been viewed as relatively little alcohol consumption. This study investigates the role in around capital Lilongwe.Methods All patients presenting to emergency department Kamuzu Central Hospital after being injured crashes were asked participate study. testing was done breathalyzer or saliva test....
Abstract Background Road traffic injuries are a significant cause of death and disability globally. However, in some countries the exact health burden caused by road is unknown. In Malawi, there no central reporting mechanism for so extent hard to determine. A limited number models predict incidence mortality due injury Malawi. These estimates vary greatly, owing differences assumptions, on population remains unclear. Methods We use an individual-based model combine epidemiological with...
BackgroundRoad traffic injuries are a leading cause of death and disability, especially in low- middle-income countries. Identifying injury hotspots valuable for introducing preventive measures. This is usually accomplished by using police data, but these often unreliable low-income study aimed to identify collecting geographical data the emergency room.MethodsThis was cross-sectional adult road patients presenting Casualty Department central hospital Lilongwe, capital Malawi. An electronic...
Objective Alcohol or drug impairment is a major risk factor for road traffic crashes, and studies on this issue are essential to provide evidence-based data policymakers. In low- middle-income countries (LMICs), such often conducted in partnership with one more organizations high-income (HICs). The aim of article recommendations improving project planning decision-making processes epidemiological alcohol, safety LMICs involving HICs.
Background The pattern of host defense against plasmodium is comparable to the immune response bacterial infection. Posttraumatic immunosuppression may therefore cause relapses malaria secondary trauma and surgery in asymptomatic carriers parasites endemic areas. To our knowledge this has not been validated epidemiologic studies. Methods Postinjury was registered retrospectively 342 land mine war victims from malaria-endemic areas Cambodia. incidence rate analyzed terms age, gender,...
This was a retrospective review of all children aged ≤16 who were treated in the casualty department at central hospital Lilongwe, Malawi, between 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2015. A total 4776 for road traffic injuries (RTIs) study period. There an increase incidence from 428 RTIs to maximum 834 2014. Child pedestrians represented 53.8% injuries, but 78% deaths 71% those with moderate severe head injuries. Pedestrians mostly injured by cars (36%) large trucks, buses lorries (36%)....
Summary Objective To assess the impact of post‐injury falciparum malaria on morbidity parameters in Cambodia. Method Retrospective study 227 trauma patients managed at a surgical centre Battambang, Results Within 10 days injury, 42.7% population developed symptomatic malaria. In with malaria, rate wound infection was 36.1% compared 10.0% without (95% confidence interval for difference 15.2–36.9%). The average hospital stay group 31.2 19.4 complication 7.2–16.4 days). Conclusion Symptomatic...
Oslo in Norway has had the highest incidence of hip fractures world. The been thoroughly described every decade since late 1970s. previously higher compared to rest but now decreased a level below country average. purpose this study was report 2019 and compare it with rates from previous four decades. Patients residing new fracture identified by searching hospital's patient administrative systems protocols operating theaters. diagnosis verified through medical records and/or radiographs. To...
Background: The treatment of failed ankle replacements is debated, and little published about the medium- long-term results revision implants. We wanted to examine prosthesis survival physical function at least 5 years after insertion Salto XT prosthesis. Methods: All consecutive patients operated with a underwent clinical radiologic examinations preoperatively 3, 12, 24, 60 months. Complications reoperations are described, changes in patient-reported outcome measures scores reported....
