1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionMental illness in the United States is a growing problem, leading to significant implications for those effected as well as direct and indirect costs to the health care system. The association between psychiatric comorbidity and increased risk of perioperative adverse events has previously been described following elective orthopedic surgery, however, there is a paucity of literature evaluating the correlation between mental health disease and outcomes in patients in an orthopedic trauma setting.

methodsUtilizing data from the US National Hospital Discharge Survey, all patients undergoing surgery for femoral neck fracture were identified between the years 1990 and 2007. The association of depression, anxiety, dementia and schizophrenia on surgical outcomes were then analyzed using univariate regression analysis.

resultsA cohort of 2,432,931 patients was identified. All psychiatric comorbidities were associated with a lower rate of routine discharge home following surgery (p < 0.001). Schizophrenia was associated with increased odds of any adverse event (p < 0.001), acute post-operative mechanical complications (p < 0.001) and increased length of stay (p < 0.001). DISCUSSION: Patients undergoing surgery for femoral neck fracture with comorbid psychiatric illness are at increased risk for non-routine discharge. Schizophrenia is independently associated with an increased risk for post-operative complications. An awareness of these risks should optimize preoperative multidisciplinary patient care planning so as to maximize patient outcome and minimize resource utilization.
