BACKGROUND: Worldwide, 1.3 million patients sustain a hip fracture every year. In Canada, 23 621 patients over 60 have been admitted with a hip fracture in 2003. Few authors have yet investigated the full postoperative trajectory of patients admitted for a hip fracture, in terms of orientation. HYPOTHESIS: Most geriatric patients undergoing surgery for a hip fracture will not be able to return to their original residence at one-year of follow-up. OBJECTIVE: To characterize the full one-year postoperative trajectory of patients admitted for a hip fracture, in terms of orientation...

G Banfi, A Leoni, G Moroni
Approximately 10% of patients with lupus nephritis develop end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In some cases with a rapidly progressive course, treatment may result in partial recovery of renal function. The choice of aggressive treatment should be balanced against the risk of enhanced morbidity due to side effects in patients with renal insufficiency; one should therefore desist from preventing ESRD at any cost. Renal replacement therapy (both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis) may offer lupus patients with ESRD good chances of survival...

COMPARATIVE STUDY
D H Jakobsen, E Sonne, J Andreasen, H Kehlet
OBJECTIVE: To compare convalescence after colonic surgery with a fast-track rehabilitation programme vs conventional care. BACKGROUND: Introduction of a multimodal rehabilitation programme (fast-track) with focus on epidural anaesthesia, minimal invasive surgical techniques, optimal pain control, and early nutrition and mobilization together with detailed patient information have led to a shorter hospital stay after colonic surgery. There are not much data on convalescence after discharge...
