Proximal femoral fractures (femoral neck fracture and trochanteric fracture) are one of the most common fractures observed in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), resulting in high rates of complications and morbidities including prolonged length of stay and mortality. The usefulness of rehabilitation in patients with CKD has been reported, but the comparison between dialysis-dependent and non-dependent patients has not been well documented. The study aimed at the efficacy of rehabilitation in hospitalized patients on maintenance hemodialysis compared with those without advanced CKD.
The patients who were hospitalized in our hospital for surgical treatment of proximal femoral fracture between 2022-2024 were enrolled, and those who could walk by oneself without assistance before fracture were included in the study. Study items were 1) days from fracture to discharge, 2) length of rehabilitation ward stay, 3) rehabilitation volume per day, 4) days from fracture to independent walking, 5) functional independence measure (FIM), 6) rehabilitation performance index, and 7) clinical outcomes. The data were compared between the patients on hemodialysis (n = 6, M/F = 2/4, mean age of 79.5 years) and those without advanced CKD (n = 16, M/F = 3/13, mean age of 80.3 years) as control.
Patients on maintenance hemodialysis showed a significantly longer period from fracture to discharge and a longer length of rehabilitation ward stay than control. In patients on hemodialysis, the time until independent walking tended to be longer, and rehabilitation performance index tended to be lower, but there were no statistically significant differences as compared to control. Also, there were no significant differences in rehabilitation volume per day or functional recovery between the groups.
Rehabilitation is important to facilitate functional recovery and to inhibit adverse outcomes after proximal femoral fracture. This notion is especially important in patients with high risk of frailty and mortality. Our study suggests that, even in elderly dialysis-dependent patients, it is crucial to provide an appropriate rehabilitation program, aiming at early functional recovery and reducing complications and morbidities such as frailty and early mortality.
