RESUMO

PURPOSE: Various fixation techniques have been described for midshaft clavicle fractures in the literature. We hypothesized that use of the Rockwood pin for fixation of displaced midshaft clavicle fractures would result in favorable outcomes in a young active cohort. METHODS: Patients aged 10-35 years who underwent Rockwood clavicle pin fixation at a single institution were identified. Preoperative and postoperative radiographs were reviewed and assessed for fracture characteristics, postoperative alignment, and radiographic union. Postoperative outcome scores were obtained. RESULTS: A total of 39 patients (age 17.3 ± 3.9 years) with clavicle fracture treated with Rockwood pin were identified. Radiographic review demonstrated that 88% of fractures were 100%, or more, displaced, and surgery achieved near-anatomic reduction in 92% of cases. Average time to radiographic union was 2.3 ± 0.8 months, and average time to clinical union was 2.5 ± 0.3 months. One patient required revision for nonunion (3%). Complete outcome responses were obtained for 24 patients, with an average 40 ± 27.7 months of follow-up. Mean Total Clavicle Functional score was 2.75 ± 3.6 for minor patients. For adult patients, Nottingham Clavicle score was 90.7 ± 10.7, mean American Shoulder and Elbow Society score was 92.4 ± 11.2, and mean Single Assessment Numerical Evaluation score was 88.8 ± 21.5. 77% of adults reported no long-term functional limitation; 54% reported a bump at the prior fracture site, but 100% reported satisfaction with shoulder appearance. CONCLUSIONS: In our cohort of young active patients, treatment with Rockwood pin allowed for anatomic reduction, healing with a low nonunion rate, and favorable patient reported outcomes.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) are one of the most common fractures among patients aged 65 years and older, commonly due to low-energy mechanisms. It is essential to identify drivers of increased healthcare utilization in geriatric PHF patients and bring awareness to any disparities in care. Here, we identify factors associated with the likelihood of inpatient admission and prolonged hospital stay among patients aged 65 years and older who sustain PHF due to falls. METHODS: A national database was used to identify patients aged 65 years and older who suffered proximal humeral fractures due to a fall. Patient factors were analyzed for association with the likelihood of admission and odds of prolonged stay (≥5 days). RESULTS: In the study period, 75,385 PHF patients who met our inclusion criteria presented to the emergency department and 14,118 (18.7%) were admitted. Black race was significantly associated with decreased odds of admission ( P < 0.001) and increased likelihood of prolonged stay ( P = 0.007) compared with White patients. Patients aged 75 to 84 and 85+ were both more likely to be admitted ( P < 0.001) and experienced a prolonged hospital stay ( P = 0.015). Patients undergoing surgical intervention with reverse total shoulder arthroplasty were associated with admission and prolonged length of stay ( P < 0.001). Hospitals in Midwestern ( P < 0.001) and Western ( P < 0.001) regions exhibited lower rates of admission and Northeastern hospitals were associated with prolonged stays ( P = 0.001). Finally, trauma and nonmetropolitan ( P < 0.001) centers were associated with admission. CONCLUSION: Our study highlights the notable influence of age and race on the likelihood of hospital admission and prolonged hospital stay. Specifically, Black patients exhibited prolonged hospital stay, which has been associated with lower-quality care, warranting additional exploration. Understanding these demographic and hospital-related factors is essential for optimizing resource allocation and reducing healthcare disparities in the care of PHF patients, especially as the population ages and the incidence of PHF continues to rise.

RESUMO

Importance: Accurate identification of patient groups with the lowest level of protection following COVID-19 vaccination is important to better target resources and interventions for the most vulnerable populations. It is not known whether SARS-CoV-2 antibody testing has clinical utility for high-risk groups, such as people with cancer. Objective: To evaluate whether spike protein antibody vaccine response (COV-S) following COVID-19 vaccination is associated with the risk of SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infection or hospitalization among patients with cancer. Design, Setting, and Participants: This was a population-based cross-sectional study of patients with cancer from the UK as part of the National COVID Cancer Antibody Survey. Adults with a known or reported cancer diagnosis who had completed their primary SARS-CoV-2 vaccination schedule were included. This analysis ran from September 1, 2021, to March 4, 2022, a period covering the expansion of the UK's third-dose vaccination booster program. Interventions: Anti-SARS-CoV-2 COV-S antibody test (Elecsys; Roche). Main Outcomes and Measures: Odds of SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infection and COVID-19 hospitalization. Results: The evaluation comprised 4249 antibody test results from 3555 patients with cancer and 294 230 test results from 225 272 individuals in the noncancer population. The overall cohort of 228 827 individuals (patients with cancer and the noncancer population) comprised 298 479 antibody tests. The median age of the cohort was in the age band of 40 and 49 years and included 182 741 test results (61.22%) from women and 115 737 (38.78%) from men. There were 279 721 tests (93.72%) taken by individuals identifying as White or White British. Patients with cancer were more likely to have undetectable anti-S antibody responses than the general population (199 of 4249 test results [4.68%] vs 376 of 294 230 [0.13%]; P < .001). Patients with leukemia or lymphoma had the lowest antibody titers. In the cancer cohort, following multivariable correction, patients who had an undetectable antibody response were at much greater risk for SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infection (odds ratio [OR], 3.05; 95% CI, 1.96-4.72; P < .001) and SARS-CoV-2-related hospitalization (OR, 6.48; 95% CI, 3.31-12.67; P < .001) than individuals who had a positive antibody response. Conclusions and Relevance: The findings of this cross-sectional study suggest that COV-S antibody testing allows the identification of patients with cancer who have the lowest level of antibody-derived protection from COVID-19. This study supports larger evaluations of SARS-CoV-2 antibody testing. Prevention of SARS-CoV-2 transmission to patients with cancer should be prioritized to minimize impact on cancer treatments and maximize quality of life for individuals with cancer during the ongoing pandemic.
