Abstract
Background
Older adults with hip fractures of the femur have a higher probability of developing dysphagia after surgery. Dysphagia affects older patients with hip fractures in multiple ways, thus clinicians need to understand the impact of dysphagia on the effectiveness of treatment.
Aims
The aim of this study is to clarify the impact of dysphagia on dependence in activities of daily living in older adults with hip fractures.
Methods
This retrospective observational study utilized a nationwide inpatient database, encompassing acute inpatient care from 2017 to 2022. Older adults (≥60 years) with hip fractures who underwent surgery and survived to discharge were included. Dysphagia was analyzed as a factor affecting dependence in activities of daily living at discharge using binomial logistic regression and the inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) method, which was based on propensity scores.
Results
The analysis included 88,809 older adults with hip fractures. Binomial logistic regression analysis showed that dysphagia was significantly associated with dependence in activities of daily living, with an odds ratio of 3.24 (95 % confidence interval [CI], 2.72–3.85; p < 0.01). Furthermore, sensitivity analysis confirmed these findings. After adjusting for IPTW, dysphagia remained a significant factor for dependence in activities of daily living at discharge, with an odds ratio of 2.55 (95 % CI, 2.45–2.64; p < 0.01).
Conclusions
In older adults with hip fractures, dysphagia negatively affects the activities of daily living at discharge. These results are useful for clinicians for understanding the significance of preventing dysphagia development.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Nutrition ESPEN is an electronic-only journal and is an official publication of the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN). Nutrition and nutritional care have gained wide clinical and scientific interest during the past decades. The increasing knowledge of metabolic disturbances and nutritional assessment in chronic and acute diseases has stimulated rapid advances in design, development and clinical application of nutritional support. The aims of ESPEN are to encourage the rapid diffusion of knowledge and its application in the field of clinical nutrition and metabolism. Published bimonthly, Clinical Nutrition ESPEN focuses on publishing articles on the relationship between nutrition and disease in the setting of basic science and clinical practice. Clinical Nutrition ESPEN is available to all members of ESPEN and to all subscribers of Clinical Nutrition.
