Is a population-based analysis of the post-fracture care gap 1996-2008 : the situation improving?
Despite increased attention to gaps in osteoporosis management post-fracture in the last 10 years, the situation has not improved: in 2007/20008, fewer than 20% of untreated individuals with a low-trauma fracture received intervention. Novel strategies are required to disseminate and implement best practices at the point of care to reduce the risk of recurrent fractures.
High levels of postoperative pain and using high opioid doses increased risk for postoperative delirium for all patients. The highest incidence of delirium was among patients who had high preoperative risk for delirium and also had high postoperative pain and used high opioid doses.
