[Changes in age distribution and frequency of comorbidities in patients in the occupational insurance association treatment process].
Article in Der Unfallchirurg, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDue to the demographic development the proportion of older patients has increased. These show at least a higher rate of comorbidities, which affects the length of inpatient hospital stay. Until now no uniform recording exists for such comorbidities within the occupational insurance association system even if the clinical relevance is beyond dispute. Adaptations within the system with increased interdisciplinary treatment are necessary.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to analyze changes in the age distribution and the frequency of comorbidities in patients in the occupational insurance association system.
methodsThe study was a retrospective analysis of age distribution and comorbidities of all operatively treated occupational insurance association patients in 2005 (n = 631), 2010 (n = 1180) and 2015/2016 (n = 2315). A comparison of the age groups ≤29 years, 30-49 years, 50-65 years and ≥66 years was performed.
resultsThe proportion of patients aged 50-65 years showed a significant increase: 2005 (26.5%), 2010 (30.5%) and 2015/2016 (37.3%) (p < 0.001) and an increased proportion of patients with at least 1 comorbidity: 2005 (38.7%), 2010 (52.5%) and 2015/2016 (52.9%) (p = 0.01). This was statistically significant (p < 0.001, p = 0.005) within the age group 30-49 years (2005: 31.1%, 2015/2016: 49.0%) and the age group 50-65 years (2005: 55.7%, 2015/2016: 67.1%). Significant changes were found for arterial hypertension, morbid obesity, thyroid and respiratory diseases. In addition, there was an increase in multimorbid patients. DISCUSSION: A changing age distribution with a tendency to an increased number of older patients and an increased frequency of comorbidities could be determined. In the present documentation system of the occupational insurance association treatment procedure these comorbidities are insufficiently recorded and considered, even though their clinical relevance is indisputable. Adaptations with respect to intensified interdisciplinary cooperation are necessary.
