After systematic application of GeriNOT and data collection in the admission process with integration into the Hospital Information System (HIS), it is possible to identify potential risks in geriatric patients with other diagnoses as well.With the integration of GeriNOT into the acute inpatient admission process, it was examined whether vulnerable geriatric patients with other diagnoses could benefit from the early initiation of risk identification.The data base for the present study was a retrospective bicentric collection of electronic case records (May 2014 to April 2015, n = 3,443). From this primary data set, the subgroup of inpatient acute admissions (n = 821) in the orthopaedic/trauma surgery of a study centre was analysed and evaluated with respect to the endpoints \"utilisation of needs-based post-inpatient care services\" and \"new admission to inpatient permanent/short-term care\". The predictive power and classification accuracy of GeriNOT of these patients who were 70 years and older to the endpoints were assessed for several groups: total acute admissions, total fractures, hip fracture, and spinal disorders including spinal fractures.A total of 821 patients were admitted as acute inpatients during the study period. The mean age of the patients was 81.4 ± 6.8 years (n = 821; 68.1% women, 31.9% men). The following subgroups were formed and analysed: total fractures (n = 490), spinal disorders (n = 265) including spinal fractures (n = 174), and hip fracture (n = 108). Both in the overall group (n = 821; M = 4.279; SD = 2.180) and in the subgroups, the mean GeriNOT score was above the threshold ≥ 4. The highest score was found in the hip fracture group (M = 4.852; SD = 2.022), and the lowest in the spine fracture group (M = 4.177; SD = 2.171). At admission, if the terms of variables for requiring treatment were \"polypharmacy\" and \"nursing services already used as needed\", there were only slight differences in the diagnostic groups. Admissions from short-term and long-term care occurred in the total group in 16.44% of cases, most frequently with 31.48% in the group of hip fractures, compared to spinal diseases with 6.79%. For this group, GeriNOT detected an elevated risk with respect to the defined endpoints. However, only 4.26% of all patients with identified geriatric risk potential received further geriatric care.The results showed increased geriatric risk in all analysed groups, but most pronouncedly within the group of spinal diseases. The HIS-supported use of GeriNOT offers the possibility of systematic risk identification in acute inpatient admission management. The continuous visualisation of results at HIS workstations throughout the workflow could be used as a starting point fo","PeriodicalId":94274,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift fur Orthopadie und Unfallchirurgie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142402615","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}

The OF Pelvis Score as a decision aid between non-surgical and surgical treatment was developed by expert consensus after analysis of numerous geriatric sacral and pelvic ring fractures from several hospitals. Subsequently, retrospective evaluation of the score was performed on consecutive patients from three hospitals.The following parameters were considered relevant to decision making between non-surgical and surgical treatment and were incorporated into the score: fracture morphology using the OF Pelvis Classification, pain status, level of mobilisation, fracture-related neurological deficits, health status, and the modifiers already integrated into the OF Pelvis classification. If the score is < 8, non-surgical therapy is recommended; if the score is > 8, surgical therapy is recommended; if the score is 8, there is a relative indication for surgery. The OF Pelvis Score was then evaluated retrospectively in a total of 107 patients, according to records. The OF Pelvis Score was 8 points in 4 patients (3.7%), all of whom received surgical treatment. Of the remaining 103 patients, 93 received score-compliant therapy (90.3%). Among these, 4 of the patients who did not receive score-compliant care refused the recommended surgery, so the actual therapy recommendation was score-compliant in 94.2%.The OF Pelvis Score can be used to derive a therapy recommendation in many patients in clinical practice. Because of the possible change of clinical parameters during the course of the disease, the score has a dynamic character.

Individual preventive training can lower the fall risk. To detect the need for training, a systematic assessment of the individual fall risk is needed. The aim of this study was thus to assess whether a fall risk score based on free field insole measurements can distinguish between an at-risk group of senior home residents and a healthy young control group. A published fall risk score was used in senior home residents over the age of 75 and a young (< 40 years) control group to determine the individual fall risk. In addition, the fall events over 12 months were assessed. Statistical analysis including ROC analysis was performed to determine the ability of the score to detect participants at heightened fall risk. In total, 18 nursing home residents and 9 young control participants were included. Of the nursing home residents, 15 had at least one fall, with a total of 37 falls recorded over 12 months. In the control group, no falls were recorded. The fall risk score was significantly different between nursing home residents and the control group (9.2 + 3.2 vs. 5.7 ± 2.2). Furthermore, the score significantly differentiated fallers from non-fallers (10.3 ± 1.8 vs. 5.2 ± 2.5), with a cut-off > 7.5 (AUC: 0.95) and a sensitivity of 86.7% (specificity 83.3%). The fall risk score is able to detect the difference between senior nursing home residents and young, healthy controls, as well as between fallers and non-fallers.
