BACKGROUND:The number of hip fracture patients with dementia is increasing with an aging population,posing challenges for surgical treatment. OBJECTIVE:To determine the effect of dementia on postoperative complications in older patients with hip fractures. METHODS:Patients aged over 60 years old with hip fractures from 2000 to 2019 at Chinese PLA General Hospital were included.Dementia patients with a preexisting diagnosis of dementia at admission were identified.Each dementia patient was matched,for age±5 years,gender,and fracture type with 10 non-dementia patients.The differences in postoperative complications were compared between the two groups,including pneumonia,respiratory failure,gastrointestinal bleeding,urinary tract infection,surgical site infection,deep venous thrombosis,pulmonary embolism,angina pectoris,arrhythmia,heart failure,myocardial infarction,stroke,and death.The impact of dementia on major complications was evaluated using multivariate conditional logistic regression. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 2 887 patients were included,of whom 125(4.3%)were dementia patients and matched with 1 243 non-dementia patients.The average age of dementia patients was(80.6±7.4)years;64.8%were female;53.6%were intertrochanteric fractures,and 46.4%were femoral neck fractures.Major complications occurred in 25(20.0%)patients with dementia and 123(9.9%)patients without dementia(P<0.01).The risk of major complications was 200.0 per 1 000 persons(95%CI,139.3-278.6)in dementia patients and 99.0 per 1 000 persons(95%CI,83.6-116.9)in non-dementia patients.Multivariate conditional logistic regression showed that a 2-fold risk of major postoperative complications after hip fracture surgery was found in dementia patients than in those without dementia(adjusted OR,2.11;95%CI,1.08-4.10).The results show that dementia is an independent risk factor for postoperative complications in elderly patients with hip fractures.Appropriate preoperative risk assessment and corresponding preventive and therapeutic measures should be given to this vulnerable population to mitigate postoperative complications.

OBJECTIVE To provide a reference for the standardized treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and the adjustment of therapeutic drugs for COPD in the national essential medicine list. METHODS Relevant clinical experts, pharmaceutical experts and medical insurance experts were invited to sort out the COPD treatment drugs involved in the domestic and foreign COPD clinical guidelines, the national essential medicine list, the WHO standard list of essential medicine, the national medical insurance catalogue, and comparatively analyzed the COPD treatment drugs. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS Compared with domestic clinical guidelines, foreign clinical guidelines included an additional COPD triple preparation, while involving fewer types of expectorants and antioxidants; there were only 12 kinds of COPD treatment drugs included in the WHO standard list of essential medicine, while there were 18 kinds in the national essential medicine list in China, and more theophylline drugs, expectorants and antioxidants were included. In addition, 15 kinds of COPD treatment drugs were found in both the national clinical guidelines and the national medical insurance catalogue, but not in the national essential medicine list, including terbutaline, levalbuterol hydrochloride, salmeterol, formoterol, indacaterol, beclometasone, mometasone furoate, salbutamol ipratropium, glycopyrronium formoterol, umeclidinium vilanterol, indacaterol glycopyrronium, beclometasone formoterol, budesonide/glycopyrrolate/formoterol fumarate, fluticasone furoate/vilanterol/umeclidinium, and fudosteine, which were mainly long-acting beta 2-agonists and COPD triple preparations. These drugs had certain evidence-based medicine evidence, their efficacy and economy had certain advantages, and their impact on the budget of the medical insurance fund was controllable. Therefore, it is suggested that the aforementioned drugs should be included in the essential medicines list in the subsequent update.
