Multicenter Study
Prognostic factors and long-term outcomes of eye-globe perforation: Eye injury vitrectomy study.
To delineate anatomic and visual outcomes of injured eye globes with perforating, and to develop the prognostic indicators for perforating eyes. ⋯ The injured eyes with perforation can be saved through vitreoretinal surgery, the PVR-C, retinectomy more than 2 times of optic disk, and macular damage were independent risk factors for poor long-term prognosis.

Multicenter Study
The prevalence and prognostic factors of psychological distress in older patients with a hip fracture: A longitudinal cohort study.
A hip fracture can be experienced as a traumatic event that can induce psychological distress. The aim of this study is to give more insight into the prevalence of symptoms of psychological distress in older patients following the first year after a hip fracture. In addition, prognostic factors were determined for psychological distress after hip fracture. ⋯ The prevalence of psychological distress is high in the first year after a hip fracture. Frailty at onset of a hip fracture is the most important prognostic factor of symptoms of depression and anxiety. These findings have important implications for strategies with early identification of frail patients with a hip fracture at high risk of psychological distress.

Multicenter Study
Health related quality of life and mortality 10 years after a femoral neck fracture in patients younger than 70 years.
A femoral neck fracture (FNF) may have long term effects on the patient's health related quality of life (HRQoL) and mortality, especially in patients younger than 70 years. These long-term effects are unknown since most studies have a short follow-up. The aim of this study was to investigate self-assessed hip function, HRQoL and factors associated with 10-years mortality after a FNF. ⋯ Those patients who had survived 10 years after a FNF treated with CRIF had a HRQoL and hip function equivalent to age and sex matched general population of Sweden. However, a third of these relatively young patients had deceased 10 years after the hip fracture and they were more compromised than the general population.
