Abstract

Background: Perioperative management of patients with hip fracture patients receiving oral anticoagulants requires navigating the risks associated with surgical delay and perioperative hemostasis. The aim of this systematic review and metaanalysis was to evaluate the effect of expedited-surgery protocols on time to surgery and perioperative outcomes in anticoagulant-treated patients with hip fracture. Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Embase and CENTRAL from inception to May 5, 2020, to identify English-language studies reporting outcomes after expedited hip fracture surgery in patients receiving vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) or direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) before hospital admission. We performed a meta-analysis using Mantel-Haenszel weighting for dichotomous variables and inverse variance weighting for continuous variables. Results: Among the 4253 citations identified, 14 studies were included. In the 6 studies eligible for meta-analysis, compared to hip fracture surgery before implementation of a VKA-reversal protocol, surgery after implementation of such a protocol was associated with a significant reduction in time to surgery (mean difference 45.31 h, 95% confidence interval [CI] 15.81 h to 74.80 h). Expedited surgery (within 48 h) in patients who received DOACs preoperatively was not associated with increased surgical duration (mean difference -7.29 min, 95% CI -22.5 min to 7.95 min) or 30-day mortality (odds ratio [OR] 1.30, 95% CI 0.49 to 3.89) compared to patients who did not receive anticoagulants (control patients). However, expedited surgery in DOAC-treated patients was associated with an increased blood transfusion risk compared to control patients (OR 0.58, 95% CI 0.36 to 0.96). Conclusion: Implementing a VKA-reversal protocol for patients with hip fracture is effective in decreasing time to surgery, without an increased bleeding risk. Performing hip fracture surgery within 48 hours in DOAC-treated patients is also safe, with a small increase in blood transfusion risk. Contexte : La prise en charge perioperatoire de patients sous anticoagulotherapie ayant subi une fracture de la hanche necessite la gestion des risques associes aux delais chirurgicaux et a l'hemostase perioperatoire. La presente revue systematique et metaanalyse a pour objectif d'evaluer les effets de protocoles chirurgicaux acceleres sur le delai d'acces a la chirurgie et les issues perioperatoires chez ces patients. Methodes : Nous avons interroge les bases MEDLINE, Embase et CENTRAL de leur creation au 5 mai 2020 pour recenser les etudes publiees en anglais qui traitaient des issues d'operations accelerees pour une fracture de la hanche chez des patients sous antivitamine K (AVK) ou anticoagulants oraux directs (AOD) avant leur hospitali sation. La meta-analyse a ete effectuee au moyen de la methode de Mantel-Haenszel pour les variables dichotomiques et de la ponderation par l'inverse de la variance pour les variables continues. Resultats : A partir des 4253 citations recensees, 14 etudes ont ete retenues. Dans les 6 etudes repondant aux criteres de la meta-analyse, l'operation pour une fracture de la hanche apres mise en oeuvre d'un protocole de desanticoagulation pour l'AVK a ete associee a une reduction significative de l'intervalle prechirurgical (difference moyenne 45,31 h, intervalle de confance [IC] de 95 % 15,81 h a 74,80 h), comparativement a la meme intervention avant la mise en place du protocole. La chirurgie acceleree (dans les 48 h) chez les patients sous AOD avant l'operation n'a pas ete associee a un allongement de la duree de l'intervention (difference moyenne -7,29 min, IC de 95 % -22,5 min a 7,95 min) ni a une augmentation de la mortalite dans les 30 jours (rapport de cotes [RC] 1,30, IC de 95 % 0,49 a 3,89), comparativement aux patients qui ne recevaient pas d'anticoagulotherapie (groupe temoin). Cependant, la chirurgie acceleree chez les patients sous AOD a ete associee a un risque accru de besoin de transfusion sanguine, comparativement au groupe temoin (RC 0,58, IC de 95 % 0,36 a 0,96). Conclusion : La mise en place d'un protocole de desanticoagulation pour l'AVK chez les patients ayant subi une fracture de la hanche reduit efficacement l'intervalle prechirurgical sans augmentation du risque de saignement. Il est egalement securitaire d'effectuer une operation pour une fracture de la hanche dans les 48 heures chez les patients sous AOD, quoique l'intervention soit associee a un risque legerement accru de transfusion sanguine., Each year, 340 000 people are admitted with acute hip fracture in the United States, accruing an estimated US$9.8 billion in health care costs.

Abstract

PURPOSE Care continuity is foundational to the clinician/patient relationship; however, little has been done to operationalize continuity of care (CoC) as a clinical quality measure. The American Board of Family Medicine developed the Primary Care CoC clinical quality measure as part of the Measures That Matter to Primary Care initiative. METHODS Using 12-month Optum Clinformatics Data Mart claims data, we calculated the Bice-Boxerman Continuity of Care Index for each patient, which we rolled up to create an aggregate, physician-level CoC score. The physician quality score is the percent of patients with a Bice-Boxerman Index [greater than or equal to] 0.7 (70%). We tested validity in 2 ways. First, we explored the validity of using 0.7 as a threshold for patient CoC within the Optum claims database to validate its use for reflecting patient-level continuity. Second, we explored the validity of the physician CoC measure by examining its association with patient outcomes. We assessed reliability using signal-to-noise methodology. RESULTS Mean performance on the measure was 27.6%; performance ranged from 0% to 100% (n = 555,213 primary care physicians). Higher levels of CoC were associated with lower levels of care utilization. The measure indicated acceptable levels of validity and reliability. CONCLUSIONS Continuity is associated with desirable health and cost outcomes as well as patient preference. The CoC clinical quality measure meets validity and reliability requirements for implementation in primary care payment and accountability. Care continuity is important and complementary to access to care, and prioritizing this measure could help shift physician and health system behavior to support continuity. https://doi.org/10.1370/afm.2880, INTRODUCTION Continuity of care (CoC) is a central tenet of primary care and is associated with fewer hospitalizations and emergency department (ED) visits, better patterns of care utilization, lower costs [...]

Abstract

Our objective was to externally validate 2 simple risk scores for mortality among a mostly inpatient population with COVID-19 in Canada (588 patients for COVID-NoLab and 479 patients for COVID-SimpleLab). The mortality rates in the low-, moderate-, and high-risk groups for COVID-NoLab were 1.1%, 9.6%, and 21.2%, respectively. The mortality rates for COVID-SimpleLab were 0.0%, 9.8%, and 20.0%, respectively. These values were similar to those in the original derivation cohort. The 2 simple risk scores, now successfully externally validated, offer clinicians a reliable way to quickly identify low-risk inpatients who could potentially be managed as outpatients in the event of a bed shortage. Both are available online (https://ebell-proiects.shinyapps.io/covid_nolab/ and https://ebell-projects.shiny apps.io/COVID-SimpleLab/). https://doi.org/10.1370/afm.2872, INTRODUCTION Accurate, easy-to-use prognostic tools may help optimize management decisions for patients with COVID-19, potentially reducing inpatient burden by identifying patients at low risk for inpatient death.

Abstract

* Context.--ABO mistransfusions are rare and potentially fatal events. Protocols are required by regulatory agencies to minimize this risk to patients, but how these are applied in the context of massive transfusion protocols (MTPs) is not specifically defined. Objective.--To evaluate the approaches used by transfusion services for switching from universally compatible to patient ABO type-specific blood components during massive hemorrhage. Design.--We added 1 supplemental multiple-choice question to address the study objective to the 2019 College of American Pathologists proficiency test J-survey (J-A 2019). We also reviewed the available literature regarding this topic. Results.--A total of 881 laboratories responded to the supplemental question. Approximately 80% (704 of 881) reported a policy for ABO-type switching during an MTP. Policies varied considerably between responding laboratories, but most (384 of 704, 55%) required 2 ABO types to match before switching from universal to recipient-specific blood components. Additional safety measures used in a minority of these protocols included reaction strength criteria (103 of 704, 15%), on-call medical director approval (41 0f 704, 5.8%), universal red cell unit number limits (12 of 704, 1.7%), or the presence of a mixed field (3 of 704, 0.4%). Conclusions.--This survey reveals that significant heterogeneity exists regarding the available approaches for ABO-type switching during an MTP. Specific expert guidance regarding this issue is very limited, and best practices have not yet been established or rigorously investigated., In the United States, many hospitals have now adopted massive transfusion protocols (MTPs) to ensure that patients with life-threatening hemorrhage receive red cells and plasma in a safe, timely, evidence-based, [...]

Abstract

Objective. The purpose of this study was to explore differences in sedentary behavior, length of hospital stay, and discharge destination of patients before and after the Ban Bedcentricity implementation at ward level. Methods. The Ban Bedcentricity innovation and implementation procedure were implemented at the cardiothoracic surgery, cardiology, and orthopedics-traumatology wards. Sedentary behavior data were collected 2 weeks before and after the implementation using behavioral observations and analyzed with Pearson chi-square. Length of hospital stay and discharge destination data were collected from all admitted patients and analyzed with multiple and logistic regression analyses. Results. Behavioral observations showed that in 52% of the observations, patients were lying in bed before implementation and 40% after implementation at the cardiothoracic surgery, 64% and 46% at the cardiology, and 53% and 57% at the orthopedics-traumatology wards, respectively. The mean length of hospital stay after implementation (compared with implementation before) was 5.1 days at the cardiothoracic surgery (n = 1923; mean = +0.13 days, 95% CI = -0.32 to 0.60), 2.6 days at the cardiology (n = 2646; mean = -0.22 days, 95% CI = -0.29 to -0.14), and 2.4 days at the orthopedicstraumatology wards (n = 1598; mean = +0.28 days, 95% CI = 0.06 to 0.50). After the implementation, more patients were discharged home from the cardiothoracic surgery (odds ratio [OR = 1.23], 95% CI = 1.07 to 1.37) and cardiology wards (OR = 1.37, 95% CI = 1.22 to 1.49), and no statistically significant difference was found at the orthopedics-traumatology ward (OR = 1.09, 95% CI = 0.88 to 1.27). Conclusion. The results indicate beneficial outcomes after the implementation with less sedentary behavior and proportionately more patients being discharged home compared with before the implementation. However, little information is available about the adoption and fidelity of Ban Bedcentricity; therefore, outcomes should be interpreted with caution. Impact. This multifaceted innovation to reduce sedentary behavior of patients during the hospital stay seems to be promising, with outcomes indicating less sedentary behavior in patients and more patients being discharged home after the implementation. Lay Summary. We introduced Ban Bedcentricity, an intervention to reduce the amount of time patients lie in the hospital bed during their hospitalization. This study shows that after the introduction of Ban Bedcentricity, patients lie in bed less and are more often discharged home. Keywords: Hospitalization, Patient Discharge, Physical Activity, Quality Improvement, Sedentary Behavior, Introduction The hospital bed plays an important role in hospital care. For example, single-bed or multi-bed rooms serve as a starting point for hospital architecture. (1) The logistics of a [...]
