Demographics of Nonagenarians and Centenarians with a Hip Fracture

The Effects of Comorbidities on Intensive Care Admission in Elderly Patients Undergoing Hip Surgerious

“…Age is a distinctive risk factor in terms of complications and mortality (1,2). However, it is possible to operate on patients suffering from hip fractures regardless of age (3,4). As the large part of these patients are ASA III group patients experiencing comorbidities, hip replacement surgeries may result in high mortality rates due to the characteristics of patients and surgery.…”

Anaemia and transfusion in nonagenarians undergoing emergency, non‐traumatic surgery: a prospective observational study

“…Our TR was 0·35, which – as stated above – is difficult to compare with other series, because of the scarcity of studies addressing this type of patient. The amount of blood transfused in the study group (TI 0·99 RBCU/pt) was less compared to a similar population of traumatic nonagenarians (TI 1·96 RBCU/pt) (Pelavski et al ., ), and to a prospective cohort of elective fourth‐aged patients (TI 1·75 RBCU/pt); all of which were operated on in our centre.…”

“…On the one hand, nonagenarians need urgent and emergency surgery proportionally more often than the rest of the population, and their prevalence of anaemia is higher (Steensma & Tefferi, ). Nevertheless, very few studies have addressed perioperative anaemia and transfusion in nonagenarians within the non‐elective setting (Wu et al ., ): except for traumatic cases, predominantly comprised of hip fracture repairs (Hosking et al ., ; Adunsky et al ., ; Pelavski et al ., ; Alfonso et al ., ). Most studies on these topics are based on elective surgery (Beattie et al ., ).…”

Demographic and medical characteristics of hospitalised oldest old

“…11 Studies in other countries have also found that the majority of nonagenarians are female and community-dwelling. 5,8,9,12,[22][23][24][25]…”

“…11 Other published studies relating to nonagenarians have tended to focus on specific patient groups or medical problems. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Some focused on emergency department visits; 4,5 patients on rehabilitation units; 21 or institutionalised patients. 22 Most were community or population based.…”
