Vitamin D deficiency linked to cataract risk in adults 50 or older

Cataract risk over up to 10 years was higher with vitamin D deficiency than with sufficient levels, with a relative-risk measure called a hazard ratio of 1.71.Cataract risk over up to 10 years was higher with vitamin D deficiency than with sufficient levels, with a relative-risk measure called a hazard ratio of 1.71.

Hip analysis assumption linked to errors in donated human bones

In younger donors, estimates of dense outer bone area had errors up to 36% compared with high-resolution scans when analysis assumed a fixed bone share.In younger donors, estimates of dense outer bone area had errors up to 36% compared with high-resolution scans when analysis assumed a fixed bone share.

Surgery delays were not linked to hip fracture deaths in Greenland

Among 262 patients, average surgical wait was 91.4 hours, but longer waits were not associated with mortality at 30 days or one year.Among 262 patients, average surgical wait was 91.4 hours, but longer waits were not associated with mortality at 30 days or one year.

Bone screening lagged behind risk after kidney transplants

Among 34,758 adults, 29.9% received bone density testing within a year of transplantation, compared with 63.8% over a median 8.4-year follow-up.Among 34,758 adults, 29.9% received bone density testing within a year of transplantation, compared with 63.8% over a median 8.4-year follow-up.

Sedative reduced delirium after hip fracture surgery

In a preprint trial, delirium occurred in 21.2% of older patients given the sedative versus 45.7% given placebo within seven days of hip fracture surgery.In a preprint trial, delirium occurred in 21.2% of older patients given the sedative versus 45.7% given placebo within seven days of hip fracture surgery.
