“…However, freed up hospital resources through an expansion of community care activity enables other individuals in need of health care to use hospital services, which may result in a reduction in competing demands for the same hospital bed. This could lead to a potential spill over effect of reduction in waiting times for other patients and may be observed in reduction of symptom duration and benefit of surgery [ 40 ].…”

Policymakers often suggest that expansion of care in community settings may ease increasing pressures on hospital services. Substitution may lower overall health system costs, but complementarity due to previously unidentified needs might raise them. We used new national data on community and primary medical care services in England to undertake system-level analyses of whether activity in the community acts as a complement or a substitute for activity provided in hospitals. We used two-way fixed effects regression to relate monthly counts of community care and primary medical care contacts to emergency department attendances, outpatient visits and admissions for 242 hospitals between November 2017 and September 2019. We then used national unit costs to estimate the effects of increasing community activity on overall system expenditure. The findings show community care contacts to be weak substitutes with all types of hospital activity and primary care contacts are weak substitutes for emergency hospital attendances and admissions. Our estimates ranged from 28 [95% CI 21, 45] to 517 [95% CI 291, 7265] community care contacts and from 34 [95% CI 17, 1283] to 1655 [95% CI − 1995, 70,145] GP appointments to reduce one hospital service visit. Primary care and planned hospital services are complements. Increases in community services and primary care activity are both associated with increased overall system expenditure of £34 [95% CI £156, £54] per visit for community care and £41 [95% CI £78, £74] per appointment in general practice. Expansion of community-based services may not generate reductions in hospital activity and expenditure.

“…Hip replacement can effectively relieve the joint pain, correct the deformity and recover and improve the joint motor function of patients, thus it is the most effective surgical intervention for elderly patients with hip diseases [ 1 , 2 ]. According to statistics, the incidence rate of postoperative cognitive dysfunction in elderly surgical patients is as high as 38% [ 3 ], posing a serious threat to the surgical effects and prognosis of patients.…”

Objective To explore the anesthetic and analgesic effects of remimazolam and propofol in elderly patients undergoing hip replacement and their effects on respiratory and circulatory systems, stress and cognitive function. Methods Sixty elderly patients undergoing elective hip replacement in the hospital were selected as the research subjects, and they were divided into the remimazolam group and the propofol group according to the admission sequence of patients. The remimazolam group was anesthetized with remimazolam, and the propofol group was anesthetized with propofol. The anesthesia-related indicators, perioperative pain degree [Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)], circulatory indicators [heart rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP)] before anesthesia (T0), immediately before laryngeal mask insertion (T1), at 5 min after laryngeal mask insertion (T2), at 30 min after laryngeal mask insertion (T3) and at 5 min after laryngeal mask removal (T4), stress response indicators (plasma epinephrine, norepinephrine, cortisol) before anesthesia induction and at 24 h and 72 h after surgery, cognitive function [Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)] and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results Among the 60 enrolled patients, only 1 case was excluded due to withdrawal, thus 30 cases in the remimazolam group and 29 cases in the propofol group were included. There were statistically significant differences in the heart rate, MAP, plasma epinephrine, norepinephrine, cortisol and VAS score in the two groups from the aspects of interaction effect and time-point effect (P < 0.05). The heart rate and MAP at T1, T2 and T3 in the two groups were significantly decreased compared with those at T0, but the heart rate and MAP in the remimazolam group at T1, T2 and T3 were significantly higher than those in the propofol group (P < 0.05). There were no statistical differences in the anesthesia time, awakening time and extubation time between the remimazolam group and the propofol group (P > 0.05). The levels of plasma epinephrine, norepinephrine and cortisol in the two groups were significantly higher at 24 h and 72 h after surgery than those before anesthesia induction, and the above levels were significantly lower in the remimazolam group than those in the propofol group (P < 0.05). The VAS scores at each time point in the two groups were significantly reduced compared to before surgery, but there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups after surgery (P > 0.05). The MMSE scores of the two groups were significantly lower at 1 d and 3 d after surgery compared with those before anesthesia induction, but the score in the remimazolam group was significantly higher than that in the propofol group (P < 0.05). In addition, the incidence rates of adverse reactions were significantly lower in the remimazolam group compared to the propofol group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Compared with propofol, remimazolam can achieve equivalent anesthetic and analgesic effects in elderly patients undergoing hip replacement. However, the latter one can significantly relieve respiratory and circulatory suppression, stress response and cognitive dysfunction, with good safety. Trial registration This single-center, prospective, RCT has completed the registration of the Chinese Clinical Trial Center at 31/12/2021 with the registration number ChiCTR2100055039.

“…Previous studies have reported that this may be due to the lack of clarity of the question that was used to elicit information about symptom duration [29]. Nevertheless, increasing symptom duration has recently been reported to be a significant predictor of poorer outcome after surgery [30].…”

Background: An increasing number of patients undergoing hip or knee replacement have chronic diseases. It has been suggested that the presence of chronic diseases may affect access to this type of surgery in the English National Health Service (NHS). We examined the access to hip and knee replacement surgery in patients with and without chronic diseases according to preoperative patient-reported pain, functional status and symptom duration. Methods: We analysed data of 640,832 patients who had hip or knee surgery between 2009 and 2016 in England. Multivariable regression was used to estimate the impact of 11 chronic diseases on severity of joint problems as measured on a scale from 0 to 48 by Oxford Hip (OHS) and Knee Scores (OKS) just before surgery and on likelihood of long-standing joint problems (> 5 years pre-operatively). Results: Patients with chronic diseases reported more severe joint problems than patients without (OHS differences ranged from 1.1 [95% CI 0.93, 1.2] to 2.5 [95% CI 2.3, 2.7] and OKS differences from 0.5 [95% CI 0.3, 0.7] to 2.6 [95% CI 2.4, 2.7] for the 11 chronic diseases) but the differences remain small. When analysed separately, patients with chronic diseases reported both more severe pain and poorer functional status. Six chronic diseases in hip patients and two in knee patients increased the likelihood that they had long-standing joint problems. The severity of joint problems just before surgery increased with the number of chronic diseases (OHS differences; one chronic disease (1.5 [95% CI 1.4, 1.5]) to four or more (5.8 [95% CI 5.6, 6.0])). Conclusions: Patients with chronic diseases reported more severe joint problems immediately before hip or knee replacement surgery suggesting they have hip or knee replacement later in the course of their joint disease.
