Aims

An increasing number of patients with hip fracture are taking oral anticoagulation medication including direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC). The management of these patients regarding the timing of surgery and occurrence of complications remains contentious. The aim of this study was to compare treatment and outcomes for hip fracture patients taking anticoagulation.

Methods

Data from a consecutive series of 3,707 hip fracture patients admitted to a single centre was collected over a seven-year period.

Results

The proportion of patients taking warfarin fell slightly over the study period (6.1 % to 4.7 %) whilst the proportion taking DOAC increased greatly (1.4 % to 11.4 %). Patients on oral anticoagulation were slight older (mean age 83 years for warfarin, 85 years for DOAC versus 80 years for those not on anticoagulation), more likely to have atrial fibrillation, less likely to take anti-platelet medication and less likely to have spinal anaesthesia. Patients taking oral anticoagulant had an increased delay to theatre (mean hours admission to theatre 37.9 for warfarin, 39.5 for DOAC, 31.1 for no anticoagulation). There was no difference in the number of patients transfused, wound complications, post-operative haemoglobin or 30 -day mortality between groups.

Conclusion

Current policies on the timing of surgery and anticoagulation are safe.
目的:越来越多的髋部骨折患者正在服用口服抗凝药物,包括直接口服抗凝剂(DOAC)。这些患者的手术时机和并发症的发生管理仍然存在争议。本研究的目的是比较髋部骨折患者使用抗凝治疗的治疗和结果。方法:在7年的时间里,从一个中心连续收集了3707例髋部骨折患者的数据。结果:服用华法林的患者比例在研究期间略有下降(6.1%至4.7%),而服用DOAC的患者比例则大幅上升(1.4%至11.4%)。口服抗凝治疗的患者年龄稍大(华法林组平均年龄83岁,DOAC组平均年龄85岁,未使用抗凝治疗的患者平均年龄80岁),更容易发生心房颤动,服用抗血小板药物的可能性更小,脊柱麻醉的可能性更小。服用口服抗凝剂的患者入院时间延迟增加(华法林组平均入院时间37.9小时,DOAC组平均入院时间39.5小时,未服用抗凝剂组平均入院时间31.1小时)。两组患者输血数量、伤口并发症、术后血红蛋白和30天死亡率均无差异。结论:目前的手术时机和抗凝政策是安全的。

Purpose

One of the primary causes of heat-induced compartment syndrome is the loss of elasticity of the body surface eschar itself, we have recently replaced escharotomy with conservative tangential excision in the treatment of compartment syndrome caused by heat and achieved good results.

Methods

Since 2019, our burn center has applied conservative tangential excision and heterogeneous dermal coverage technology for decompression treatment of 16 patients with thermal-induced compartment syndrome, involving 19 parts of the limbs and 5 parts of the chest and abdomen. All cases were treated with decompression under general anesthesia within 12–48 h after burn.

Results

All patients were treated with conservative tangential excision for decompression. After limb decompression, the peripheral blood supply was restored, and the obvious pulse could be touched. No further fasciotomy was performed, and no secondary damage of deep muscle, nerve and vascular tissue was found in the follow-up treatment; After thoracic and abdominal decompression, there was no respiratory restriction and circulatory disorder.

Conclusion

Conservative tangential excision represents an effective method for both the prevention and treatment of heat-induced compartment syndrome, it can be used as an alternative method for escharotomy.
目的:热致筋膜室综合征的主要原因之一是体表结痂本身失去弹性,我们最近用保守切向切除替代结痂切开术治疗热致筋膜室综合征,取得了良好的效果。方法:2019年以来,我烧伤中心应用保守切向切除及异质真皮覆盖技术对16例热致室综合征患者进行减压治疗,涉及肢体19处、胸腹5处。所有病例均于烧伤后12 ~ 48 h全麻减压治疗。结果:所有患者均行保守切向切除减压术。肢体减压后外周血供应恢复,可触见明显脉搏。未再行筋膜切开术,随访未见深部肌肉、神经及血管组织继发损伤;经胸腹减压后,无呼吸限制和循环障碍。结论:保守切向切除是预防和治疗热致筋膜间室综合征的有效方法,可作为巩膜切开术的替代方法。

Introduction

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a prevalent type of disabling and fatal injury in infants/toddlers, which is usually caused by falls or traffic accidents. Considering that it is difficult to collect realistic material properties and validation data of child heads due to ethical reasons, experiments on the piglet heads and the finite element (FE) models are generally used as a substitute for the investigations of child TBI.

Methods

In this study, first, a high-quality FE model of a 4-week-old piglet head, including brain (cerebrum, cerebellum, brainstem), skull, soft tissue, cerebrospinal fluid, dura matter, pia matter and mandible, is developed. Then, test for the material properties of the piglet head and that for the global validation data are conducted. For the former, the mechanical properties of the brain, overlying soft tissue and skull of the 4-week-old piglet head are tested, and the constitutive models and corresponding parameters are further defined. For the latter, the quasi-static compression test and dynamic impact test (free-fall drop impact test, drop-hammer impact test) are performed on the piglet head. Finally, the piglet head FE model was validated against tests in terms of the contact force and intracranial pressure (ICP) under eight conditions (one for the compression condition, four for the free-fall impact condition, and three for the drop-hammer impact condition).

Results

The trends of simulated curves are consistent with the experimental results under all conditions. For the contact force, the average error of the peak values between simulations and tests is about 12.9 %, and the average error of time durations is about 6.8 %. For the ICP, the average errors of peak values and time durations between simulations and tests are about 8.9 % and 9.9 %.

Conclusions

The results show that the piglet head model has high bio-fidelity, which can be used to predict the head global response and the ICP, and further to assist the investigation of child TBI. The model provides another effective way to evaluate the modeling strategies and material constitute models suitable for child head FE model, and can better to understand the inducement and mechanism of child TBI under different external loading conditions.
外伤性脑损伤(TBI)是婴幼儿致残和致命伤害的一种常见类型,通常由跌倒或交通事故引起。考虑到由于伦理原因,难以收集到真实的儿童头部材料特性和验证数据,因此通常采用仔猪头部实验和有限元模型作为儿童TBI研究的替代方法。方法:本研究首先建立4周龄仔猪头部的高质量有限元模型,包括脑(大脑、小脑、脑干)、颅骨、软组织、脑脊液、硬脑膜、硬脑膜和下颌骨。然后对猪头材料性能进行测试,并对整体验证数据进行测试。前者测试了4周龄仔猪头的大脑、上覆软组织和颅骨的力学性能,并进一步定义了本构模型和相应的参数。后者对仔猪头部进行准静态压缩试验和动态冲击试验(自由落体冲击试验、落锤冲击试验)。最后,通过8种条件(1种压缩条件、4种自由落体冲击条件和3种落锤冲击条件)下的接触力和颅内压(ICP)试验对仔猪头有限元模型进行验证。结果:模拟曲线在各工况下的变化趋势与实验结果基本一致。对于接触力的峰值,仿真值与试验值的平均误差约为12.9%,持续时间的平均误差约为6.8%。对于ICP,模拟和测试的峰值和持续时间的平均误差分别为8.9%和9.9%。结论:该模型具有较高的生物保真度,可用于预测仔猪头部整体反应和颅内压,为儿童脑外伤的研究提供辅助。该模型为评估适合儿童头部有限元模型的建模策略和材料构成模型提供了另一种有效途径,可以更好地理解不同外载荷条件下儿童脑损伤的诱发因素和机理。

Background

Prior research suggests that plasma may improve outcomes in traumatic brain injury (TBI). We examined the association between plasma administration and mortality in moderate-severe TBI in a large retrospective cohort, hypothesizing plasma is associated with decreased mortality after accounting for confounding covariates.

Materials and Methods

Patients from the 2017–2020 Trauma Quality Improvement Program (TQIP) dataset ≥18 years with moderate-severe TBI were included. We excluded patients with comorbidities associated with bleeding or sensitivity to volume (antiplatelet or anticoagulation medications, bleeding disorders, cirrhosis, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Multivariable logistic regression examined the association between plasma volume transfused in the first four hours and hospital mortality, adjusting for sociodemographics, severity of injury/illness, neurologic status, and volume of other blood products. We also adjusted for and included interactions with hemorrhage markers (shock; need for hemorrhage control).

Results

Of 63,918 patients included, hospital mortality was 37.0 %. 82.8 % received no plasma. Each unit of plasma was associated with greater unadjusted mortality, with odds ratio (OR): 1.13 (95 % confidence interval: 1.12–1.14), but after confounder adjustment, plasma units were not associated with greater mortality, with OR: 1.01 (0.99–1.03). While the overall adjusted effect of plasma was not significant, significant interactions between hemorrhage markers and plasma were present (p < 0.001).

Conclusions

Administration of plasma within the first four hours after hospital presentation was not associated with decreased or increased mortality in adult patients with moderate to severe TBI after confounder adjustment. Interaction analysis suggests the presence of hemorrhage improves the effect of plasma on mortality in TBI. This important clinical question should be answered with a prospective randomized study of plasma for nonbleeding patients with TBI.
背景:先前的研究表明血浆可以改善创伤性脑损伤(TBI)的预后。我们在一个大型回顾性队列中研究了血浆给药与中重度TBI患者死亡率之间的关系,假设在考虑混杂协变量后,血浆与死亡率降低有关。材料和方法:纳入2017-2020年创伤质量改善计划(TQIP)数据集≥18年的中重度TBI患者。我们排除了伴有出血或对容量敏感的合并症患者(抗血小板或抗凝药物、出血性疾病、肝硬化、充血性心力衰竭、慢性阻塞性肺疾病)。多变量logistic回归检验了前四小时血浆输注量与住院死亡率之间的关系,调整了社会人口统计学、损伤/疾病严重程度、神经系统状态和其他血液制品的容量。我们还调整并纳入了与出血标志物(休克;需要控制出血)。结果:63918例患者住院死亡率为37.0%。82.8%未接受血浆。每单位血浆与更高的未校正死亡率相关,比值比(OR): 1.13(95%可信区间:1.12-1.14),但经过混杂校正后,血浆单位与更高的死亡率无关,OR: 1.01(0.99-1.03)。虽然血浆的整体调节作用不显著,但出血标志物和血浆之间存在显著的相互作用(p < 0.001)。结论:在混杂校正后,入院后4小时内给予血浆与中重度TBI成人患者死亡率的降低或增加无关。相互作用分析表明,出血的存在改善了血浆对TBI死亡率的影响。这个重要的临床问题应该通过对非出血TBI患者血浆的前瞻性随机研究来回答。

Background

Traumatic injury poses significant physical and psychological challenges, often resulting in psychological distress, encompassing symptoms of anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress. Despite the recognised need for psychological care in trauma rehabilitation, there is limited empirical evidence of effective interventions tailored specifically for individuals with traumatic injuries, leading to a practice-evidence gap.

Objectives

This review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of psychological and behavioural interventions for reducing psychological distress in adults following traumatic injury.

Methods

This systematic review followed a published protocol (CRD4202342946) and adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist and the Synthesis Without Meta-analysis (SWiM) in systematic reviews reporting items. Peer-reviewed studies were identified through searches of MEDLINE, APA PsycInfo, CINAHL and Embase databases. Eligible studies involved adults aged 18 and older who had experienced physical trauma requiring immediate medical attention. Studies involving participants with neurological injuries and/or military personnel were not included. Both English- and non-English-language articles were considered. Effect direction was employed as the method of synthesis and risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Effective Practice and Organisation of Care (EPOC 9) nine-item assessment tool.

Results

A total of six studies met the review eligibility criteria. There was considerable heterogeneity across the interventions in terms of their nature, timing and duration, however all interventions were delivered within 3-months post-injury. Most studies reported positive intervention effects, with no adverse effects reported. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) was the most reported intervention across the studies.

Conclusions

The review findings highlight the preliminary evidence supporting CBT as a viable option for reducing psychological distress following traumatic injury. However, this may be explained by the dominance of CBT in the literature due to its structured nature, availability and suitability for research, potentially limiting the visibility of alternative therapeutic approaches. Further, these findings are constrained by study limitations, including small sample sizes, heterogeneity of injury types and severity, reliance on self-reported outcomes, and limited follow-up data. Future research should aim to include longitudinal follow-up assessments and explore alternative therapeutic approaches to contribute to our understanding of meaningful trauma rehabilitation methods.
背景:创伤性损伤对身体和心理造成重大挑战,往往导致心理困扰,包括焦虑、抑郁和创伤后应激症状。尽管人们认识到创伤康复需要心理护理,但专门针对创伤性损伤患者的有效干预措施的经验证据有限,导致实践与证据之间存在差距。目的:本综述旨在评估心理和行为干预对减少创伤后成人心理困扰的有效性。方法:本系统评价遵循已发表的方案(CRD4202342946),并遵循系统评价和荟萃分析首选报告项目(PRISMA)清单和系统评价报告项目的无荟萃分析综合(SWiM)。同行评议的研究通过MEDLINE、APA PsycInfo、CINAHL和Embase数据库进行检索。符合条件的研究涉及18岁及以上经历过身体创伤需要立即就医的成年人。没有纳入涉及神经损伤和/或军事人员的研究。英语和非英语文章都被考虑。采用效应方向作为综合方法,偏倚风险采用Cochrane有效实践与护理组织(EPOC 9)九项评估工具进行评估。结果:共有6项研究符合审查资格标准。在干预的性质、时间和持续时间方面存在相当大的异质性,但所有干预都是在损伤后3个月内进行的。大多数研究报告了积极的干预效果,没有不良反应的报道。认知行为疗法(CBT)是所有研究中报道最多的干预措施。结论:回顾结果强调了初步证据支持CBT作为减少创伤后心理困扰的可行选择。然而,这可以解释为CBT在文献中的主导地位,因为它的结构化性质,可用性和研究适用性,潜在地限制了替代治疗方法的可见性。此外,这些发现受到研究局限性的限制,包括样本量小、损伤类型和严重程度的异质性、依赖于自我报告的结果以及有限的随访数据。未来的研究应包括纵向随访评估和探索替代治疗方法,以促进我们对有意义的创伤康复方法的理解。

Introduction

Injuries and violence are among the most prominent public health problems in the world. As well as being a leading cause of mortality – particularly among children and young adults – many of the millions of non-fatal injuries result in life-long disabilities and health consequences. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of unintentional injuries and violence, and their associated factors among high school students.

Methods

This cross-sectional study included a total of 1218 high-school students in Turkey. Data were collected through a facilitated self-administered questionnaire with questions adapted from the Global School-based Student Health Survey instrument. Data were analyzed in IBM SPSS Statistics 28.0 using chi-square test to find statistical significance if any. The significant variables from the chi-square test were selected for multiple logistic regression analysis.

Results

The overall prevalence of physical attack, physical fighting, and serious injuries were 8.3 %, 14.8 %, and 11.7 %, respectively. In a multiple regression analysis, student truancy and lateness, worry, suicide attempts, and not having close friends were found to be associated with physically attacked, physical fight, and serious injuries.

Conclusion

This study demonstrated that the prevalence of unintentional injuries and violence among high school students is a major public health problem in Turkey. This study results can have important implications for school administration, parents, and policymakers alike to plan appropriate anti-violence strategies and interventions.

Introduction

During revision surgery for the management of patients presenting with long-bone upper extremity nonunion, it is crucial to rule out fracture-related infection (FRI). This is especially true if there are clinical signs suggestive of FRI, or if there is a history of prior FRI, open wound fracture, or surgery. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of frozen section analysis (FSA) in providing real-time diagnosis of FRI in patients with upper-limb long-bone nonunion undergoing revision surgery.

Patients and Methods

We included previously surgically treated patients who underwent revision surgery for chronic/late-onset nonunion of the long bones of the upper limbs over a 9-year period. We retrospectively applied the FRI criteria to identify eligible patients and recorded their clinical features and demographic characteristics. In all included patients, samples for microbiological analysis and FSA were collected simultaneously during revision surgery. Patients were categorized according to intraoperative culture results as having aseptic or infected nonunion. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and accuracy of FSA test were calculated and compared using microbiological analysis as the reference standard test. The concordance rate between FSA and definitive histopathology was also determined.

Results

Sixty-two patients who were surgically treated for nonunion of the arm or forearm were included in this study. Septic nonunion was diagnosed intraoperatively in 9 patients based on FSA findings, while microbiological analysis confirmed septic nonunion in 8 patients. The sensitivity and specificity of FSA were 88 % (95 % confidence interval [CI] [47, 100]) and 96 % (95 % CI [87, 100]), respectively. Positive and negative predictive values were 78 % (95 % CI [47, 93]) and 98 % (95 % CI [89, 100]), respectively, with an overall test accuracy of 95 % (95 % CI [87, 99]). Cohen's Kappa coefficient between FSA and definitive histopathology was 0.74 (95 % CI [0.5, 1]).

Conclusions

FSA showed high sensitivity and specificity for the detection of active infection during revision surgery for nonunion of the upper limb. Owing to its high negative predictive value, it can reliably rule out active infections during revision surgery. Since the results are obtained immediately during revision surgery, this approach offers the significant advantage of enabling real-time decision-making.
在对上肢长骨不愈合患者进行翻修手术时,排除骨折相关感染(FRI)是至关重要的。如果有提示FRI的临床症状,或者有FRI、开放性伤口骨折或手术史,这一点尤其正确。本研究旨在确定冷冻切片分析(FSA)对接受翻修手术的上肢长骨不连患者FRI的实时诊断效果。患者和方法:我们纳入了既往手术治疗的9年以上上肢长骨慢性/晚发型不连翻修手术的患者。我们回顾性地应用FRI标准来确定符合条件的患者,并记录他们的临床特征和人口统计学特征。在所有纳入的患者中,在翻修手术期间同时收集微生物分析和FSA样本。根据术中培养结果将患者分为无菌性或感染性骨不连。以微生物学分析作为参考标准试验,计算比较FSA检测的敏感性、特异性、阳性预测值和阴性预测值以及准确性。同时测定了FSA与最终组织病理学的符合率。结果:本研究纳入了62例因手臂或前臂骨不连而接受手术治疗的患者。9例患者术中根据FSA检查结果诊断为脓毒性骨不连,8例患者经微生物学分析证实为脓毒性骨不连。FSA的敏感性为88%(95%可信区间[CI][47, 100]),特异性为96% (95% CI[87, 100])。阳性和阴性预测值分别为78% (95% CI[47, 93])和98% (95% CI[89, 100]),总体测试准确率为95% (95% CI[87, 99])。FSA与最终组织病理学之间的Cohen’s Kappa系数为0.74 (95% CI[0.5, 1])。结论:FSA对上肢骨不连翻修手术中活动性感染的检测具有较高的敏感性和特异性。由于其较高的阴性预测值,可以可靠地排除翻修手术中的活动性感染。由于在翻修手术中可以立即获得结果,因此该方法具有实现实时决策的显著优势。

Introduction

Pelvic fractures (PF) occur in up to 9 % of trauma cases, primarily from high-impact events, and are associated with increased morbidity and mortality due to frequent concomitant injuries. Thoracolumbar (TL) spinal fractures, particularly at the T10-L2 junction, are also common in high-energy trauma but are less frequently examined in association with PF. Missed TL fractures can lead to serious neurological deficits. Although Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) recommends screening for TL fractures in trauma patients, no standardized guidelines exist. This study aims to explore the relationship between PF and TL fractures in trauma patients and to identify key variables associated with these injuries.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from the 2021 National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB), focusing on patients with PF resulting from high-impact blunt trauma. Patients were identified using ICD-9 codes for pelvic fractures, and those under 18 years of age or with penetrating trauma were excluded. We collected demographic data, injury grading (Injury Severity Score [ISS], Abbreviated Injury Scale [AIS]), and patient outcomes, comparing those with isolated pelvic fractures (IPF) to those with concomitant pelvic and TL fractures (PTLF).

Results

Of the 37,987 patients with PF, 32.4 % (n = 12,318) had concomitant TL fractures. PTLF patients were older (mean age 44.12 vs. 40.12 years, p < 0.001) and exhibited higher ISS and AIS scores compared to IPF patients. The PTLF group had longer hospital stays (14.51 days vs. 9.4 days, p < 0.001) and higher rates of ICU admission (41.4 % vs. 24.0 %, p < 0.001) and mortality (9.5 % vs. 4.3 %, p < 0.001). PTLF patients were less likely to be discharged home (29.5 % vs. 43.5 %, p < 0.001) and more likely to be transferred to rehabilitation or long-term care facilities. Motor vehicle collisions were the most common mechanism of injury, but auto-pedestrian accidents were more frequent in the PTLF group (17.3 % vs. 11.1 %, p < 0.001). Lumbar spine fractures accounted for 70.2 % of TL injuries.

Conclusion

Pelvic fractures from high-impact trauma are strongly associated with concomitant TL fractures, which lead to worse clinical outcomes. Routine TL spine screening in these patients is recommended to ensure timely diagnosis and treatment
导读:骨盆骨折(PF)发生在高达9%的创伤病例中,主要来自高冲击事件,并且由于频繁的伴随损伤而增加发病率和死亡率。胸腰段(TL)脊柱骨折,尤其是在T10-L2连接处,在高能创伤中也很常见,但与PF相关的检查较少。遗漏的TL骨折可导致严重的神经功能障碍。虽然高级创伤生命支持(ATLS)建议对创伤患者进行TL骨折筛查,但没有标准化的指南。本研究旨在探讨创伤患者PF和TL骨折之间的关系,并确定与这些损伤相关的关键变量。方法:本回顾性队列研究分析了来自2021年国家创伤数据库(NTDB)的数据,重点关注高冲击钝性创伤导致的PF患者。使用ICD-9编码识别骨盆骨折患者,排除年龄在18岁以下或有穿透性创伤的患者。我们收集了人口统计学数据、损伤分级(损伤严重程度评分[ISS]、简易损伤量表[AIS])和患者结局,比较了孤立性骨盆骨折(IPF)和伴发骨盆和髋部骨折(PTLF)的患者。结果:在37,987例PF患者中,32.4% (n = 12,318)合并TL骨折。与IPF患者相比,PTLF患者年龄更大(平均年龄44.12岁比40.12岁,p < 0.001), ISS和AIS评分更高。PTLF组住院时间较长(14.51天比9.4天,p < 0.001), ICU住院率(41.4%比24.0%,p < 0.001)和死亡率(9.5%比4.3%,p < 0.001)较高。PTLF患者出院回家的可能性较小(29.5%比43.5%,p < 0.001),更有可能转移到康复或长期护理机构。机动车碰撞是最常见的伤害机制,但汽车行人事故在PTLF组更频繁(17.3%比11.1%,p < 0.001)。腰椎骨折占TL损伤的70.2%。结论:高冲击性骨盆骨折与伴发胫韧带骨折密切相关,胫韧带骨折会导致较差的临床预后。建议对这些患者进行常规TL脊柱筛查,以确保及时诊断和治疗。

Introduction

In the United States, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) ranked high in terms of possibly preventable hospital deaths. Victims of trauma were at a higher risk of developing thromboembolic complications, and thus various agents were used for prophylaxis. Multiple studies recommended holding these agents in the perioperative period to decrease the potential complications of additional bleeding, wound issues, hematoma etc. However, the data regarding the timing and duration of withholding these agents was not consistent and at times surgeon specific. The aim of this study was to compare the incidence of DVT/PE in trauma patients before and after a June 2022 policy intervention to operate through prophylactic anticoagulation at an academic trauma center.

Methods

We compared DVT/PE rates in trauma patients requiring surgery prior to and following policy change at our institution. The query included charts from January 1, 2018, through December 31, 2023. Clinical information relating to trauma date, surgery date, injury type, anticoagulant administration, DVT/PE development, and death, if applicable, was obtained from patient charts. We conducted a chi-square post hoc analysis to evaluate the incidence of DVT or PE before and after a policy change. The analysis focused on two categories: the presence or absence of DVT/PE.

Results

DVT/PE development was 14.553 times more likely pre-policy change when anticoagulation was held prior to surgery compared to post-policy change when anticoagulation was administered before surgery (X2 (3, N = 374) =14.553, p=.002). Mortality related to DVT/PE showed no significant difference between pre-policy and post-policy groups (X2 (1, N = 374) = 0.130, p = .718). After excluding patients over age 65, analysis of MVA blunt trauma charts showed no statistical difference in blood transfusions pre policy v. post policy (X2 (1, N = 174) = 0.2198, p = .639).

Conclusion

Findings suggested that DVT/PE rates have significantly decreased post policy change without a significant increase in mortality and bleeding risk.
在美国,深静脉血栓形成(DVT)和肺栓塞(PE)在可能预防的医院死亡中排名靠前。创伤患者发生血栓栓塞并发症的风险较高,因此使用各种药物进行预防。多项研究建议在围手术期使用这些药物,以减少额外出血、伤口问题、血肿等潜在并发症。然而,关于保留这些药物的时间和持续时间的数据是不一致的,有时是针对外科医生的。本研究的目的是比较2022年6月在学术创伤中心通过预防性抗凝手术进行政策干预前后创伤患者DVT/PE的发生率。方法:我们比较了我院政策改变前后需要手术的创伤患者的DVT/PE率。该查询包括从2018年1月1日到2023年12月31日的图表。从患者图表中获得与创伤日期、手术日期、损伤类型、抗凝剂给药、DVT/PE发展和死亡(如果适用)相关的临床信息。我们进行了卡方事后分析来评估政策改变前后DVT或PE的发生率。分析集中在两类:有无DVT/PE。结果:术前抗凝治疗后DVT/PE发生改变的可能性是术前抗凝治疗后政策改变的14.553倍(X2 (3, N = 374) =14.553, p= 0.002)。手术前后DVT/PE相关死亡率差异无统计学意义(X2 (1, N = 374) = 0.130, p = .718)。在排除65岁以上患者后,对MVA钝性创伤图表进行分析,结果显示政策前与政策后输血量无统计学差异(X2 (1, N = 174) = 0.2198, p = 0.639)。结论:研究结果表明,政策改变后DVT/PE率显著降低,但死亡率和出血风险未显著增加。

<div><div>Treatment algorithms for fracture nonunion depend on the presence or absence of bacterial infection. However, it is often impossible to identify infection preoperatively. While some infections may present with clinical signs of infection, low-grade infections lack infection signs and have a clinical presentation similar to aseptic nonunion. The clinical relevance of low-grade infection in nonunion is not entirely clear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the role of low-grade infection in the development and management of lower extremity nonunion.</div><div>A prospective multicenter clinical study enrolled patients with femoral or tibial shaft nonunion and regular healed fractures, scheduled for nonunion revision and routine implant removal, respectively. Preoperatively, serum markers including C-reactive protein (CRP), leukocytes, and procalcitonin were determined, clinical infection signs were recorded, and a suspected septic or aseptic diagnosis was made prior to surgery and further diagnostics. Tissue samples were collected for microbiology and histopathology, and osteosynthesis material for sonication. Nonunion patients were followed for twelve months, during which the definitive diagnosis of “septic” or “aseptic” nonunion was made according to diagnostic criteria for fracture-related infection.</div><div>One hundred and ten patients with nonunion and 34 patients with regular healed fractures were included. Sixty-two nonunion patients were diagnosed as aseptic, 22 with expected and confirmed infection, and 23 with unexpected low-grade infection. Three patients had an unclear diagnosis. Low-grade infection was detected in 28 % of presumed aseptic nonunion patients. Sensitivity and specificity for the suspected diagnosis were 49 % and 95 %, respectively. The suspected diagnosis had a significant impact on revision strategy. All medians of the preoperative blood values were within the reference ranges except for CRP, which was slightly elevated in the expected and confirmed infected nonunion group. Expected and confirmed septic nonunion and unexpected low-grade infected nonunion demonstrated a similar bacterial spectrum. While 10 % of patients with aseptic nonunion required follow-up surgeries, re-operation rates were higher in patients with low-grade infection and expected and confirmed infection at 30 % and 64 %, respectively. Patients with low-grade infections were treated less frequently with systemic antibiotics and for a shorter duration than patients with expected and confirmed infections, with no significant difference in healing rate which was 83 % in low-grade and 62 % in expected and confirmed infections. The healing rate of aseptic nonunion was 90 %. A limitation of this study is the limited number of tissue samples for microbiological and histopathological diagnostics in the suspected aseptic nonunion cohort, which may have led to an underestimation of the low-grade infection rate.</div><div>Our findings sug
骨折不愈合的治疗方法取决于是否存在细菌感染。然而,术前往往无法确定是否存在感染。有些感染可能会出现感染的临床症状,而低度感染则没有感染症状,临床表现与无菌性骨折不愈合相似。低度感染与无菌性骨折的临床相关性尚不完全清楚。因此,本研究旨在评估低度感染在下肢骨不连的发生和治疗中的作用。这项前瞻性多中心临床研究招募了股骨干或胫骨干不愈合患者以及常规愈合骨折患者,分别计划进行不愈合翻修和常规植入物取出。术前测定血清标志物,包括C反应蛋白(CRP)、白细胞和降钙素原,记录临床感染征兆,在手术和进一步诊断前做出疑似化脓性或无菌性诊断。采集组织样本进行微生物学和组织病理学检查,并采集骨合成材料进行超声检查。在此期间,根据骨折相关感染的诊断标准,对 "化脓性 "或 "无菌性 "骨不连患者进行明确诊断。其中包括 110 名骨折未愈合患者和 34 名正常愈合的骨折患者。62名骨折不愈合患者被诊断为无菌性感染,22名患者被确诊为预期感染,23名患者被确诊为意外低度感染。有 3 名患者诊断不明确。在 28% 的推定无菌性骨折患者中发现了低度感染。疑似诊断的敏感性和特异性分别为 49% 和 95%。疑似诊断对翻修策略有重大影响。除 CRP 略有升高外,所有术前血值的中位数都在参考范围内。预期和确诊的化脓性 nonunion 与意外的低度感染性 nonunion 表现出相似的细菌谱。虽然 10% 的无菌性骨折患者需要进行后续手术,但低度感染和预期及确诊感染患者的再次手术率较高,分别为 30% 和 64%。与预期感染和确诊感染患者相比,低度感染患者接受全身抗生素治疗的频率较低,持续时间也较短,但愈合率没有明显差异,低度感染患者的愈合率为 83%,预期感染和确诊感染患者的愈合率为 62%。无菌性骨折的愈合率为 90%。这项研究的局限性在于,在疑似无菌性骨髁脱位患者中,用于微生物学和组织病理学诊断的组织样本数量有限,这可能会导致低级别感染率被低估。我们的研究结果表明,意外的低度感染经常与无趾骨畸形有关。虽然预期的和确诊的感染性非椎体终结与无菌性非椎体终结有很大不同,但低度感染性非椎体终结与无菌性非椎体终结非常相似,只是术中细菌检测除外。除抗生素治疗外,通过植入物交换和清创术进行非愈合翻修手术似乎对巩固低度感染性非愈合非常有效。

However, it is often impossible to identify infection preoperatively. While some infections may present with clinical signs of infection, low-grade infections lack infection signs and have a clinical presentation similar to aseptic nonunion. The clinical relevance of low-grade infection in nonunion is not entirely clear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the role of low-grade infection in the development and management of lower extremity nonunion.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A prospective multicenter clinical study enrolled patients with femoral or tibial shaft nonunion and regular healed fractures, scheduled for nonunion revision and routine implant removal, respectively. Preoperatively, serum markers including C-reactive protein (CRP), leukocytes, and procalcitonin were determined, clinical infection signs were recorded, and a suspected septic or aseptic diagnosis was made prior to surgery and further diagnostics. Tissue samples were collected for microbiology and histopathology, and osteosynthesis material for sonication. Nonunion patients were followed for twelve months, during which the definitive diagnosis of “septic” or “aseptic” nonunion was made according to diagnostic criteria for fracture-related infection.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;One hundred and ten patients with nonunion and 34 patients with regular healed fractures were included. Sixty-two nonunion patients were diagnosed as aseptic, 22 with expected and confirmed infection, and 23 with unexpected low-grade infection. Three patients had an unclear diagnosis. Low-grade infection was detected in 28 % of presumed aseptic nonunion patients. Sensitivity and specificity for the suspected diagnosis were 49 % and 95 %, respectively. The suspected diagnosis had a significant impact on revision strategy. All medians of the preoperative blood values were within the reference ranges except for CRP, which was slightly elevated in the expected and confirmed infected nonunion group.
