Hip fracture (HF) remains a main issue in the elderly patient. About 1.6 million patients a year worldwide are victims of a Hf. their incidence is expected to rise with the aging of the world's population. identifying risk factors is mandatory in order to reduce mortality and morbidity. the aim of the study was to identify risk factors of 1-year mortality after HF surgery. We performed an observational, prospective, single-center study at Amiens University Hospital (Amiens, france). After ethical approval, we consecutively included all patients with a HF who underwent surgery between June 2016 and June 2017. Perioperative data were collected from medical charts and by interviews. Mortality rate at 12 months was recorded. Univariate analysis was performed and mortality risk factors were investigated using a Cox model. 309 patients were analyzed during this follow-up. Mortality at 1 year was 23.9%. Time to surgery over 48 hours involved 181 patients (58.6%) while 128 patients (41.4%) had surgery within the 48 hours following the hospital admission. Independent factors associated with 1-year mortality were: age (HR at 1.059 (95%CI [1.005-1.116], p = 0,032), Lee score ≥ 3 (HR at 1,52 (95% CI [1,052-2,198], p = 0.026) and time to surgery over 48 hours (HR of 1.057 (95% CI [1.007-1.108], p = 0.024). Age, delayed surgical (over 48 hours) management and medical history are important risk factors of 1-year mortality in this French cohort Hip fracture (HF) remains a main issue in the elderly patient. As bone loss tends to decreases in association with osteoporosis and osteopenia, the risk of hip fracture increases 1. HF represents a health care concern as the incidence and the mortality rate remains high 2,3. The world estimation of patients with HF is around 1.6 million a year 4. In France, 150 000 patients each year suffer HF. The mortality rate varies from 8 to 36% depending on the country 5-7. Only 50% patients will have independent living preservation following HF management 8. Recognized risk factors for HF are old age, reduced activity, female gender and osteoporosis. Though, in every day anesthesia practice, HF represents a surgery all practitioners have to deal with. However, data on perioperative management are lacking or rely on small sample size. Evidence is of low quality or even non-existent. Besides HF management mainly depends on each country healthcare system. Literature is abundant on national observational cohort 9,10. However, data are rarely comparable from one country to another depending on its healthcare system. Moreover, the management requires a multidisciplinary approach including geriatrician, surgeon and anesthetist. It seems that a care organization within a dedicated orthogeriatric ward can reduce long-term mortality 11-13. A recent meta-analysis revealed residential status, pulmonary disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and time to surgery increased the risk of mortality after HF surgery 14. It also seems that surgery delay counts for the poor prognosis as reported in another meta-anal...
Background The mortality rate for a patient with a refractory cardiogenic shock on venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) remains high, and hyperoxia might worsen this prognosis. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the association between hyperoxia and 28-day mortality in this setting. Methods We conducted a retrospective bicenter study in two French academic centers. The study population comprised adult patients admitted for refractory cardiogenic shock. The following arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) variables were recorded for 48 h following admission: the absolute peak PaO2 (the single highest value measured during the 48 h), the mean daily peak PaO2 (the mean of each day’s peak values), the overall mean PaO2 (the mean of all values over 48 h), and the severity of hyperoxia (mild: PaO2 < 200 mmHg, moderate: PaO2 = 200–299 mmHg, severe: PaO2 ≥ 300 mmHg). The main outcome was the 28-day all-cause mortality. Inverse probability weighting (IPW) derived from propensity scores was used to reduce imbalances in baseline characteristics. Results From January 2013 to January 2020, 430 patients were included and assessed. The 28-day mortality rate was 43%. The mean daily peak, absolute peak, and overall mean PaO2 values were significantly higher in non-survivors than in survivors. In a multivariate logistic regression analysis, the mean daily peak PaO2, absolute peak PaO2, and overall mean PaO2 were independent predictors of 28-day mortality (adjusted odds ratio [95% confidence interval per 10 mmHg increment: 2.65 [1.79–6.07], 2.36 [1.67–4.82], and 2.85 [1.12–7.37], respectively). After IPW, high level of oxygen remained significantly associated with 28-day mortality (OR = 1.41 [1.01–2.08]; P = 0.041). Conclusions High oxygen levels were associated with 28-day mortality in patients on VA-ECMO support for refractory cardiogenic shock. Our results confirm the need for large randomized controlled trials on this topic.
BackgroundThe aim of the present study was to evaluate the ability of the ratios of central venous to arterial carbon dioxide content and tension to arteriovenous oxygen content to predict an increase in oxygen consumption (VO2) upon fluid challenge (FC).Methods and results110 patients admitted to cardiothoracic ICU and in whom the physician had decided to perform an FC (with 500 ml of Ringer's lactate solution) were included. The arterial pressure, cardiac index (Ci), and arterial and venous blood gas levels were measured before and after FC. VO2 and CO2-O2 derived variables were calculated. VO2 responders were defined as patients showing more than a 15% increase in VO2. Of the 92 FC responders, 43 (46%) were VO2 responders. At baseline, pCO2 gap, C(a-v)O2 were lower in VO2 responders than in VO2 non-responders, and central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) was higher in VO2 responders. FC was associated with an increase in MAP, SV, and CI in both groups. With regard to ScvO2, FC was associated with an increase in VO2 non-responders and a decrease in VO2 responders. FC was associated with a decrease in pvCO2 and pCO2 gap in VO2 non-responders only. The pCO2 gap/C(a-v)O2 ratio and C(a-v)CO2 content /C(a-v)O2 content ratio did not change with FC. The CO2 gap content/C(a-v)O2 content ratio and the C(a-v)CO2 content /C(a-v)O2 content ratio did not predict fluid-induced VO2 changes (area under the curve (AUC) [95% confidence interval (CI)] = 0.52 [0.39‒0.64] and 0.53 [0.4–0.65], respectively; p = 0.757 and 0.71, respectively). ScvO2 predicted an increase of more than 15% in the VO2 (AUC [95%CI] = 0.67 [0.55‒0.78]; p<0.0001).ConclusionsOur results showed that the ratios of central venous to arterial carbon dioxide content and tension to arteriovenous oxygen content were not predictive of VO2 changes following fluid challenge in postoperative cardiac surgery patients.
