“…P roximal humerus fractures (PHFs) are among the most common fractures in adults and the third most frequent nonvertebral fracture among patients aged 65 years and older. [1][2][3] PHFs often occur in older adults, constituting 50% of all humerus fractures in this group, commonly due to low-energy mechanisms. 2 As the elderly population in the United States continues to rise, the prevalence of PHF will likely increase in the years ahead.…”

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.
