Reduced Risk of Recurrent Fragility Fractures After a Primary Care–Based Fracture Prevention Intervention: A 20-Year Non-Randomized Controlled Follow-Up Study in Women Aged 70–100

Scandinavian Journal of Primary Health Care
Background In Sweden 70,000 people suffer fragility fractures annually, including 16,000 hip fractures with one-year mortality of up to 25%. Strategies to prevent falls, improve physical function, and enhance bone strength have shown mixed results.Aim To

Serum Uric Acid Levels in Older Adults: Associations With Clinical Outcomes and Implications for Reference Intervals in Those Aged 70 Years and Over

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Reports have linked both high and low serum uric acid (SUA) levels to adverse health outcomes. This study aimed to establish a reference interval for SUA in older adults and assessed its association with clinically relevant outcomes in relatively healthy, community‐dwelling individuals aged ≥70 years old.

Machine learning outperforms clinical experts in classification of hip fractures

Scientific Reports, 2022
Hip fractures are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly, and incur high health and social care costs. Given projected population ageing, the number of incident hip fractures is predicted to increase globally.

Effects of hospital funding reform on wait times for hip fracture surgery: a population-based interrupted time-series analysis

BMC Health Services Research, 2021
Background Health care funding reforms are being used worldwide to improve system performance but may invoke unintended consequences. We assessed the effects of introducing a targeted hospital funding model, based on fixed price and volume, for hip ...

Diffusion‐Weighted Imaging for the Evaluation of the Sacroiliac Joint in Pediatric Patients

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Maturational signal in the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) of skeletally immature youth is often misinterpreted as inflammation. Diagnostic tools that improve specificity are greatly needed. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values from diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI), when used with standard imaging, may enhance diagnostic accuracy.
