ABSTRACT In this international study, we examined the incidence of hip fractures, postfracture treatment, and all‐cause mortality following based on demographics, geography, calendar year. We used patient‐level healthcare data from 19 countries regions to identify patients aged 50 years older hospitalized with a fracture 2005 2018. The age‐ sex‐standardized rates post‐hip treatment (defined as proportion receiving anti‐osteoporosis medication various mechanisms action [bisphosphonates,...
This study evaluated the effectiveness of a national transitional care program for elderly adults with complex needs and limited social support. The Aged Care Transition (ACTION) Program was designed to improve coordination continuity reduce rehospitalizations visits emergency departments (EDs). Dedicated coordinators provided coaching help individuals families understand individuals' conditions, effectively articulate their preferences, enable self-management planning. Participants were...
<h3>Importance</h3> Examining trends in mortality following hip fracture and its associated factors is important for population health surveillance developing preventive interventions. <h3>Objective</h3> To examine temporal in, risk with, over 18 years Singapore. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This retrospective, population-based cohort study included men women aged 50 older admitted to Singapore hospitals first identified followed up from 2000 2017.

Introduction Hip fractures are associated with a high burden of morbidity and mortality. Globally, there is wide variation in the incidence hip fracture people aged 50 years older. Longitudinal cross-geographical comparisons health data can provide insights on aetiology, risk factors, healthcare practices. However, systematic reviews studies that use different methods study periods do not permit direct comparison across geographical regions. Thus, objective this to investigate global secular...
Objectives Chronic wounds are common, costly and impair quality of life, yet epidemiological data scarce. We aimed to estimate the incidence trend a multiethnic Asian population.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of FRAX® intervention thresholds (ITs) in Singaporean women > 50 years age showed that generic alendronate was cost-effective at age-dependent major osteoporotic fracture (MOF) IT from the ages 65 for both full and real-world adherence whilst hip (HF) ITs were 60 years. Alendronate irrespective only fixed MOF 14% HF 3.5%. FRAX®-based recently identified osteoporosis management Singapore. This study aimed to assess cost-effectiveness over A validated Markov...
Though hip fractures are associated with significant mortality and morbidity, increasing life expectancy in developed countries necessitates an analysis of trends factors predicting long term survival. The aim this study is to identify the predictors 10-year as well assess correlation Age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (ACCI) a surgically treated Asian geriatric fracture population.From January 1, 2007 December 31, 2009, 766 patients who underwent surgery for minimum follow up 10-years...

Abstract Background It is pertinent to focus on chronic medical condition (CMC) comorbidity with mental health conditions (MHC) as their co-occurrence has significant cost and implications. However, current evidence of MHC CMC mixed mostly from Western settings. Therefore, our study aimed (i) describe the association between total healthcare expenditure, (ii) examine expenditure (iii) determinants different types in respondents without an Asian setting. Methods The data Singapore Mental...
