リンショーピン大学とロンドン大学クイーン・メアリー校の研究チームは、大腿骨近位部骨折(股関節骨折)後の死亡率と社会経済的要因の関係を、スウェーデンの約5万8,000人の患者データを用いて解析した。教育水準、居住地域、所得、在宅介護・介護施設利用の4要因を比較した結果、教育水準が死亡率と最も強く関連する社会経済的要因であることが明らかになった。80~84歳の患者では、手術後2年経過しても同年齢の一般人口に比べ死亡率が約3倍高かった。所得との関連は教育水準より弱く、居住地域は大きな影響を示さなかった。研究者は、教育水準そのものが死亡原因になるという意味ではなく、医療情報を理解・活用する「ヘルスリテラシー」や、家族・社会的支援などを反映する指標である可能性を指摘している。今後、教育水準を患者支援の必要性を把握する指標として活用し、個別化した情報提供、リハビリテーション、退院後フォローアップにつなげることが期待される。

教育水準が股関節骨折後の生存率と最も強く関連(Level of education most strongly linked to survival after hip fracture)

Abstract

Background
The relationship between socioeconomic status and outcomes after hip fracture surgery remains unclear. We aimed to assess the association between individual-level socioeconomic status indicators and mortality after acute hip fracture surgery in Sweden.

Methods
Cross-linked registry-based cohort study of patients undergoing acute hip fracture surgery in Sweden 2015–20. Co-primary outcomes were 30-day and 2-yr all-cause mortality. Socioeconomic status was defined using four indicators: level of education, income, residential area, and receipt of social services. Attributable fractions were calculated to illustrate the potential population-level distribution of mortality differences across SES categories.

Results
There were 58 641 patients included (median age 83 [interquartile range 75–89] yr, 66.1% women). Crude 30-day and 2-yr mortalities were 7.9% (95% confidence interval [CI] 7.7–8.1) and 35.3% (95% CI 34.9–35.7). Level of education showed the strongest association, with a stepwise gradient most pronounced for 2-yr mortality: adjusted odds ratio 1.16 (95% CI 1.08–1.24) for 10–12 yr, 1.20 (95% CI 1.09–1.32) for 9 yr, and 1.25 (95% CI 1.16–1.34) for <9 yr vs >12 yr (all P<0.001). The attributal fraction for 2-yr mortality was 14.0% (standard error 0.022), with an increase in absolute risk of 6.3% (95% CI 4.3–8.2) for >12 yr vs <9 yr of education. Other socioeconomic status factors, except residential area, were also associated with mortality, although less substantially.

Conclusions
Individual socioeconomic status was associated with short- and long-term death after acute hip fracture surgery in Sweden, with education showing the strongest relationship. These findings support consideration of individual-level socioeconomic factors in perioperative hip fracture care at the population level.
