Evaluation of influence on mortality, life expectancy and related costs in the Russian Federation of methodical changes in the organizing surgical treatment of proximal femur fracture (PFF).Material and methods. The mathematical modeling methods were applied for evaluation of impacts, related to methodical changes in the organizing surgical treatment of PFF, including the calculation of life expectancy. It is assumed, that 95% of all patients over 60 years old with PFF would receive a surgical treatment. Calculations were perform in 3 stages: calculation of death causes, related to PFF, calculation of life expectancy change in population and calculation of direct and indirect medical and non-medical costs and social assistance for patients with PFF.Results. Mortality rate from PFF in model is decreased by 51%, which is equal to 55 648 saved lives. Life expectancy indicator increases by 0.3 annually during the transition to new methods of surgical treatment for the patients with PFF. Number of disabled patients is decreasing by 74 179 people annually. Taking into account all the effects, revealed in the modeling, the financial savings are estimated at 12.3 billion rubles or 32% of current expenditures from all funding sources on treatment and social assistance of patients with PFF.Conclusion. Implementation of this new approach to surgical treatment of patients over 60 years old with PFF shows a positive influence on dynamic of demographical indicators of population in general. Despite changes in structure of expenses and increase direct medical costs, new approach in surgical care will lead to a major cost reduction as well as significant improvement of treatment results for geriatric patients with PFF.","PeriodicalId":256357,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Geriatric Medicine","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121592668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To analyze the factors associated with the development of chronic heart failure (CHF) in older age and to evaluate possible approaches to managing outpatients.Material and methods. The search for domestic and foreign publications in Russian and international systems (PubMed, eLibrary, Medscape, etc.) for the last 0.5–15 years has been carried out. The analysis includes articles from the peer-reviewed literature.Results. During aging, a number of structural changes and changes at the cellular level occur in the cardiovascular system, predisposing to the development of myocardial dysfunction, which explains the variety of manifestations of heart failure and the prevalence of preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Involutional functional and morphological changes in organs and systems form multimorbidity and nonspecificity of clinical symptoms and signs. «Cross symptoms» of frailty and CHF often complicate the timely diagnosis of the heart failure. Medications used for the treatment of CHF in older and younger patients are similar, but when choosing a specific drug, caution should be exercised in the group of the most vulnerable patients: over the age of 85, in the first two weeks after discharge from the hospital and in the presence of frailty.Conclusion. Based on the available results of studies, it is necessary to be alert of primary care physicians regarding the presence of CHF with preserved LVEF in older persons with multimorbidity and geriatric syndromes.
