概要:

Journal Article<br />Background: Vertebral compression fracture (VCF) is a major injury that occurs in elderly individuals.　The aim ofthis study is to predict the functional outcomes of elderly female patients with acute VCF based on … their nutritional status.　Methods: A total of 69 female patients with acute VCF were included in the present study.　The age, fracturelocation, body mass index, grasping power, the amount of the patientʼs daily nutritional intake, Mini-Mental StateExamination (MMSE) score and nutritional status (determined from laboratory findings) were evaluated at the time ofadmission.　After in-hospital rehabilitation, the patients were divided into two groups based on their motor FunctionalIndependence Measure (mFIM) scores at the time of discharge.　A multivariable logistic regression analysis was performedto identify factors that predicted the outcome.　Results: The patients were divided into the high mFIM (score ≥79, n＝36) and the low mFIM (score＜79, n＝33) groups.　The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that theamount of the patient’s nutritional intake and the MMSE score were associated with the outcome.　Conclusions: hecognitive status and the amount of the patient’s nutritional intake were associated with the prognosis of elderly womenwith acute VCF. 続きを見る
