  1. Dementia and CSF-biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease predict mortality after acute hip fracture

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Acta anaesthesiologica Scandinavica 2019-10-23 Biomarkers

    Cognitive impairment and altered CSF biomarker concentrations indicative of AD pathology can predict increased mortality in patients with an AHF, and so probably even before clinical dementia diagnosis by early biomarker analysis; a notion that may have substantial clinical implications by improving perioperative treatment and postoperative rehabilitation.

  2. Long-term use of thiazide diuretics and risk of hip fracture

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 55 out of 100. Lancet (London, England) 1989-04-01 Drug development

    To assess whether long-term thiazide use is associated with a decreased risk of hip fracture, a nested case-control study was done in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan between 1984 and 1985 among residents who were 65 years of age or older and who were not receiving other drugs thought to affect bone mass.
