Abstract

Aim: In this study, we aimed to determine the risk factors for hip fractures in elderly patients in order to contribute to efforts to reduce the incidence of hip fractures.Methods: We evaluated 54 patients aged 79.12±8.83 (range: 5595) years, who presented to our emergency department due to hip fractures (Group 1) and 52 hospitalized patients aged 69.04±7.66 years, without a hip fracture (Group 2). We compare the groups in terms of neuropathy symptom score (NSS), neurological impairment score (NIS), accompanying diseases, foot deformities, dermal and nail problems, body mass index (BMI), osteoporosis, and use of walking aid devices. Results: The mean BMI score was 24.81±3.67 and 27.67±4.86 in Group 1 and in Group 2, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (p=0.001). The mean NSS and NIS in Group 1 was 2.87±2.89 and 2.06±1.17, respectively, while the mean NSS was 1.83±2.84 and NIS was 0.6±0.82 in group 2. The two scores were higher in group 1 than in Group 2, however, the difference in NISs between the groups was statistically significant (p<0.001). In Group 1, the number of patients smoking or drinking alcohol was higher than in Group 2, but the difference was not significant (p=0.37, p=0.324). There were no significant relationship between foot deformities and hip fractures. The number of patients with osteoporosis and those using walking aid devices was significantly higher in Group 1 than in Group 2 (p=0.007, p<0.001). Conclusion: In this study including a limited number of patients, we determined that a low BMI score, osteoporosis, and use of walking aid device are the risk factors for hip fractures.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada yaşlı nüfusta görülen kalça kırığı insidansını azaltabilmek adına önleyici tedbirlerin alınabilmesi için risk faktörlerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.Yöntemler: 2011-2012 yılları arasında acil polikliniğimize başvuran ve kalça kırığı tespit edilen ortalama yaşı 79,12±8,83 (dağılım 5595) olan 54 hasta ve hastanemizde kalça kırığı dışındaki sebeplerle yatmakta olan ve kalça kırığı öyküsü olmayan yaş ortalaması 69,04±7,66 olan 52 hasta tarandı. Hastalar nöropatik semptom skoru, nöropatik sakatlık skoru, ek hastalık varlığı, ayak deformiteleri, cilt ve tırnak bozuklukları, vücut kitle endeksleri, osteoporoz varlığı, yürümeye yardımcı cihaz kullanımı açısından karşılaştırıldı.Bulgular: Vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ) kalça kırığı olan hasta grubunda 24,81±3,67 ve kalça kırığı olmayan hasta grubunda 27,67±4,86 idi ve bu fark istatiksel olarak anlamlı idi (p=0,001). Kalça kırığı grubunda nöropatik semptom skoru 2,87±2,89 ve nöropatik sakatlık skoru 2,06±1,17 iken kalça kırığı olmayan hasta grubunda nöropatik semptom skoru 1,83±2,84 ve nöropatik sakatlık skoru 0,6±0,82 idi. Kalça kırığında her iki skorda yüksek bulunurken yalnızca nöropatik sakatlık skorundaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı idi (p<0,001). Kalça kırığı olan hasta grubunda sigara ve alkol kullanan hasta sayısı fazla olsa da bu fark istatiksel olarak anlamlı değildi (p=0,37, p=0,324). Ayak deformitesi ve kalça kırığı arasında anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmedi (p=0,065). Osteoporoz ve yürümeye yardımcı cihaz kullanımı kalça kırığı olan hasta grubunda anlamlı derecede yüksekti (p=0,007, p<0,001).Sonuç: Sonuç olarak kısıtlı hasta grubumuzda yaptığımız çalışmamızda osteoproz varlığı, düşük vücut kitle endeksi ve yürümeye yardımcı cihaz kullanımı ile kalça kırığı arasında anlamlı ilişki bulundu.
