UNASSIGNED: We describe the trends in cementing prevalence in hemiarthroplasty for hip fractures in Canada for patients ≥55 years old between April 2017 and March 2022.
UNASSIGNED: The national prevalence of cemented fixation increased from 43% in 2017/18 to 58% in 2021/22, but there was a large variety of both the baseline prevalence and the trends across the country and between individual hospitals. The proportion of surgeons only performing cementless fixation fell from 30% to 21% between 2018/19 and 2021/22.
UNASSIGNED: As cemented fixation is now universally recommended, more coordination is needed to track these trends and to help drive implementation of this evidence-based practice across Canada.
■我们描述了2017年4月至2022年3月期间,加拿大55岁以上患者半髋关节置换术治疗髋部骨折的骨水泥患病率趋势。
■骨水泥固定的全国患病率从2017/18年的43%增加到2021/22年的58%,但在全国范围内和各个医院之间,基线患病率和趋势都存在很大差异。在2018/19年至2021/22年期间,仅进行无骨水泥固定的外科医生比例从30%下降到21%。
■由于骨水泥固定现在被普遍推荐,需要更多的协调来跟踪这些趋势,并帮助推动这一循证实践在加拿大的实施。
