Background: According to the CDC, at least 300,000 people older than 65 are hospitalized for hip fractures annually. Society of Hospital Medicine recognizes geriatric care as one of the core competencies, and hospitalists frequently provide care to geriatric hip fracture patients. Clearly hospitalists need to be competent providing care to such patients. Our goal was […]

Background: More than 300,000 older adults are hospitalized in the US annually for hip fracture. While operative repair is recommended in most individuals, perioperative complications account for significant morbidity and mortality. Co-management programs for hip fracture care are effective in reducing mortality, as well as in-hospital complications, length of stay (LOS), readmission rate, and cost. […]

Background: Severe aortic stenosis (SAS) had been identified as being at elevated risk for non-cardiac surgery. However, two reports demonstrated that SAS did not increase mortality of intermediate to high risk non-cardiac surgery. The European Society of Cardiology guideline states non-cardiac surgery of low to intermediate risk can be safely performed among patients with SAS. […]

Background: One year all-cause mortality rates after a fragility fracture are as high as 24%. Treatment of osteoporosis following fracture reduces mortality, recurrent fractures rates, and healthcare costs. Without endocrinology involvement, clinicians often fail to recognize and treat osteoporosis. We aimed to assess the frequency of fragility hip fractures including recurrence rates at our academic […]

Background: Hip fractures are a major health problem in the geriatric population in the United States, with estimated costs of $18B annually. Hip fractures are highly morbid in the elderly, as deconditioning and acute complications compound chronic comorbidities. To improve care for this high-risk population, hip fracture patients are preferentially admitted to our medicine hospitalist […]

Background: Increased life expectancy has raised the number of elderly patients suffering from hip fractures. This frail population and its surgical-related complications are scarcely known. We performed a single-center descriptive study involving centenarian patients to depict their management and complications. Methods: Centenarians with a hip fracture admitted to a single level I trauma center from […]

Background: In 2014, the ACC/AHA released guidelines regarding indications for preoperative transthoracic echocardiogram (pre-op TTE) in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. Studies indicate that the ordering of pre-op TTE in noncardiac surgery is not consistent with the ACC/AHA guidelines. Some studies suggest the pre-op TTE have a significant impact on management, while others have demonstrated low cardiac […]
