8% the same and 11% worse. 21% of patients considered their GHS

better than age-matched subjects, 9% the same and 22% worse.

Considering the principal role of dentition 57% mentioned

mastication, 7% aesthetics and 20% weren’t able to mention any

function.

Conclusions:

Despite poor OHS, few patients considered their

OHS worse than other age-matched subjects, while the double

considered that GHS was worse. A significant proportion of elderly

failed to recognize any function to denture, possibly explaining

poor OHS.

Objective:

Patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) are at risk of

falling and have an increased risk of complications and prolonged

recovery during hospitalization. The aim of this study is to

investigate the rate of complications and recovery related to a

hip fracture.

Methods:

All patients with PD and Dementia with Lewy bodies

(DLB) admitted to the department of orthopedics, Copenhagen

University Hospital, Herlev with a hip fracture 18 months

from January 2013 were evaluated. Data regarding duration

of admission, complications, timing of administration of anti-

parkinson medication, and level of mobility at discharge were

obtained from patient files. Data were compared to patients

admitted with a hip fracture and COPD.

Results:

27 patients with PD or DLB, and 46 patients with COPD

were registered. Mean age of PD/DLB 77.7 years, COPD 80.7 years

(p

<

0.05). Comorbidity score using Charlson index was for PD/LBD

0.9, and COPD 2.6 (p

<

0.05). PD/LBD were admitted for 12.2 days;

COPD for 10.2 days (ns). 31% of PD/DLB were treated for delirium,

13% of COPD (ns). Infections were treated in 55% of PD/LPD, and

in 69% with COPD (ns). 66.7% of PD/DLB were discharged without

being ambulatory, 58% of COPD (ns).

<

50% of anti-PD medication

were given within

±

1 hour of schedule.

Conclusions:

Patients with PD/LBD are at high risk of developing

complications during admission for hip fracture, and their course

and recovery after surgery is equivalent to that of patients with

COPD, even though PD/LBD are significantly younger and have a

significant lower degree of comorbidity.

Objectives:

1. To quantify of comorbidity in inpatients in our unit.

2. To evaluate the typology of the associated factors.

3. To analyse the relationship between dependency and

comorbidity in our patients.

Methods:

This is a descriptive, prospective, transversal study.

Patients with inpatient care from June to November 2014. Analysed

variables: sociodemographic, medical background (MB), ufunctional

assessment (Barthel index, IB), comorbidity (Charlson Index, IC),

biochemical parameters, and inpatient death. Statistical analysis:

SPSS.

Results:

318 patients. 68.2% female. Admission from emergencies:

84%. Programmed admission: 16%. Mean age 85.89 (89.6% over 80

years old). Charlson Index in admission (median 3): IC 0 13.5%.

IC 1–2 39.6%, IC 3–4 28.3% and IC ≥5 18.6%. SPMSQ: 5.22. BI in

admission: median50; BI in discharge: median 25. BI in admission

<

45 (53.1); BI in discharge

<

45 53.3%. Mortality: 16%.

We found significant differences between CI and origin (emergency/

programmed)

Conclusions:

The comorbidity among the elderly inpatients in our

service is high in an elevated proportion of the sample. There

is significant association between high comorbidity and a worse

functional situation. The Charlson Index in our patients predicts an

early mortality. High morbidity is associated with other fragility

predictors such as functional loss and anaemia.

Objectives:

The aim of this study is to examine the ten year fracture

risk in patients aged 70 years and older with a T value

>

−2.5 on

the dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scan.

Methods:

A comprehensive literature search in Medline via PubMed

and Embase was conducted using synonyms for domain, i.e. elderly,

determinant, i.e. DXA, and outcome, i.e. fracture risk. Absolute risks

(AR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated for all

included studies for both the group with osteoporosis and the group

without osteoporosis.

Results:

566 articles were identified. After full-text screening, nine

studies were critically appraised. Five studies were included in the

final results. The absolute risk of fracture for patients with a DXA

T value

>

−2.5 ranged from 8.7 (95% CI 7.8–9.5) to 19.8 (17.9–21.7)

in three to ten years. For patients with osteoporosis the absolute

risk of fracture ranged from 18.6 (95% CI 16.3–21.0) to 44.0 (95% CI

39.6–48.4).

Conclusions:

Although the risk of fracture is higher in patients

with osteoporosis, the risk of fracture in patients with normal or

osteopenic bone mineral density should not be ignored.

Age is one of the risk factors for development of

Clostridium difficile

enterocolitis (CE). In year 2008 92.86% pacients with positive

antigen and toxin and 86.36% in 2014 were in geriatric age.

We compared the incidence of (CE) at the Department of long term

ill in the years 2008 and 2014. We tested the stool specimens for

CD antigen and toxin in every patient with diarrhea.

From 275 hospitalised patients in 2008 in 28 (10.2%) the

toxin of CD was positive and the diagnosis CE was confirmed.

Bronchopneumonia and urinary tract infections were the most

frequent reasons for antibiotic therapy. Ciprofloxacin was the most

used first line antibiotic in patients with afterwards determined

CE. Combined antibiotic therapy was a risk factor for resistance

to metronidazol. From 258 patients hospitalized in 2014, 58

had diarrhea. In 22 patients (8.5%) were antigen (GDH) and
