Are Process Changes Measurable? An Analysis of 4136 Proximal Femur Fractures over 16 Year
Z Orthop Unfall. 2024 Apr 15. doi: 10.1055/a-2276-6440. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTProzessänderungen im perioperativen Setting werden selten analysiert, weil ihre Ergebnisse nicht unmittelbar fassbar sind und es einer hohen Fallzahl bedarf. Primäres Ziel war es, Prozessänderungen retrospektiv anhand proximaler Femurfrakturen (PF) zu evaluieren und deren Effekt mit verschiedenen Zielkriterien zu überprüfen. Sekundäres Ziel war die Definition möglicher Qualitätskriterien für die Versorgung von PF.Retrospektive Analyse der Datenbank eines Level-1-Traumazentrums zu PF. Eingeschlossen wurden alle osteosynthetisch un...

A 10-Year Study of the Trend of Accidental Falls in the Elderly in a Japanese Hospital
This study compared the trend of in-hospital falls in the elderly in two time periods (2008/9 and 2018/9) and determined the effects of FPWG-implemented measures. Using medical records, we counted the monthly number of falls suffered by patients during hospitalization in April 2008-March 2009 and April 2018-March 2019. We also categorized the falls according to the severity of fall-related complications.A total of 3609 hospital falls were recorded during the 2008-2019 period (2008/9: n = 433, 2018/9: n = 324). Falls were more common in patients aged 70-79 in 2008/9 but were noted in those aged ≥ 80 in 2018/9. The mean nu...
