For adults with cerebral palsy (CP), fragility fractures may be a risk factor for pneumonia, a leading cause of death for this population; yet, the timing and complications are unknown. The objectives were to determine the 30-day pneumonia rate post-fracture and its association with mortality and incident cardiovascular events among adults with CP.
This retrospective cohort study used nationwide administrative claims data from 01/01/2012-12/31/2017 from a random 20% sample of the Medicare fee-for-service and Optum Clinformatics® Data Mart. Cohorts included ≥18 years of age with CP with an incident fragility fracture (CP + Fx) and comparison cohorts: CP without fractures (CPw/oFx) and without CP with an incident fragility fracture (w/oCP + Fx). Incidence rate (IR) of pneumonia 30-days post-fracture and IR ratios were estimated by age group: 18-40, 41-64, and ≥ 65 years. For CP + Fx, Cox regression examined the association between time-varying pneumonia (within 30-days post-fracture) with mortality and incidence of cardiovascular events 0-30-days and 31-365-days post-fracture.
There were 3688 CP + Fx (mean [SD] age, 58.2 [14.9]; 56.4% women), 29,429 CPw/oFx (50.3 [15.8]; 45.9% women), and 363,995 w/oCP + Fx (65.9 [18.3]; 65.5% women). The IR of 30-day pneumonia for CP + Fx was similar across age groups (IR per 100 person-months, 8.4-11.0) and 1.77-16.18-fold higher (all P < 0.05) than comparison cohorts. Peri/post-fracture pneumonia was associated with an increased rate of mortality (30-day-adjusted HR [aHR] = 5.89, 95%CI = 3.54-9.81; 31-365-day aHR = 2.89, 95%CI = 2.13-3.92), congestive heart failure 0-30-days (aHR = 3.64, 95%CI = 2.01-6.57) and 31-365-days (time-dependent), myocardial infarction 31-365-days (aHR = 2.03, 95%CI = 1.11-3.71), and cerebrovascular disease 0-30-days (time-dependent), without evidence of effect modification by age, sex, or fracture site.
Adults with CP are particularly vulnerable to 30-day risk of post-fracture pneumonia and its complications across the adult lifespan and not just in the elderly years.
对于患有脑瘫(CP)的成年人来说,脆性骨折可能是肺炎的一个风险因素,肺炎是该人群的主要死亡原因;然而,其发病时间和并发症尚不清楚。本研究的目的是确定骨折后 30 天内肺炎的发生率及其与 CP 成年人死亡率和心血管事件发生率的关系。
本回顾性队列研究使用了来自 Medicare 按服务收费和 Optum Clinformatics®Data Mart 的 20%随机样本中 2012 年 1 月 1 日至 2017 年 12 月 31 日期间的全国性行政索赔数据。队列纳入了≥18 岁的伴有脆性骨折的 CP 患者(CP+Fx)和对照队列:无骨折的 CP(CPw/oFx)和无 CP 但伴有脆性骨折的患者(w/oCP+Fx)。通过年龄组(18-40 岁、41-64 岁和≥65 岁)估计骨折后 30 天内肺炎的发生率(IR)和 IR 比值。对于 CP+Fx,Cox 回归分析了骨折后 30 天内肺炎(时间依赖性)与骨折后 0-30 天和 31-365 天内死亡率和心血管事件发生率之间的关系。
CP+Fx 组共 3688 例(平均[标准差]年龄 58.2[14.9]岁,56.4%为女性),CPw/oFx 组 29429 例(50.3[15.8]岁,45.9%为女性),w/oCP+Fx 组 363995 例(65.9[18.3]岁,65.5%为女性)。CP+Fx 组的 30 天肺炎发生率在各年龄组间相似(每 100 人-月的发生率为 8.4-11.0),与对照队列相比,其比值比为 1.77-16.18 倍(均 P<0.05)。骨折后和围手术期肺炎与死亡率增加相关(30 天校正 HR[aHR]为 5.89,95%CI 为 3.54-9.81;31-365 天 aHR 为 2.89,95%CI 为 2.13-3.92),30 天内充血性心力衰竭(aHR 为 3.64,95%CI 为 2.01-6.57)和 31-365 天内(时间依赖性)、心肌梗死 31-365 天内(aHR 为 2.03,95%CI 为 1.11-3.71)和 30 天内脑血管疾病(时间依赖性),且无年龄、性别或骨折部位的效应修饰作用。
CP 成年人在整个成年期,而不仅仅是在老年期,骨折后 30 天内发生肺炎及其并发症的风险特别高。
