The purpose was to investigate the association between proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy and nutritional status in elderly hospitalized patients. Participants were 190 elderly patients admitted to the long-term care wards, convalescence rehabilitation wards, and community integrated care wards in January 2015. Nutritional status was assessed using the mini nutritional assessment short-form (MNA-SF). The PPI use group was compared with the PPI non-use group regarding nutrition status. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine whether the period of PPI therapy was associated independently with malnutrition following adjustment for covariates including gender, age, and serum albumin level. Forty-one patients were male (22%) and 149 patients were female (78%), with a mean age of 85.4±8.4. Fifty-three patients (28%) took PPIs (with a median prescription period of 91 d, ranging from 51 to 227). With a MNA-SF score of 7 points or lower designated as malnutrition, there was no significant difference in nutritional status between the PPI and non-PPI groups (p=0.172). The median MNA-SF scores in the PPI and non-PPI groups were 9 vs 7 points, respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that long-term PPI therapy (odds ratio, 0.994; 95% confidence interval 0.990-0.999) was significantly associated with improved nutritional status. The presence or absence of PPI therapy is not associated with malnutrition in elderly hospitalized patients. Longer-term PPI therapy may improve nutritional status.

BACKGROUNDThe Comorbidity Polypharmacy Score (CPS) is calculated by the number of drugs carried plus the number of comorbidities on admission and divided into three categories (minor, 0–7; moderate, 8–14; and severe, 15+). This study investigates whether CPS can predict the clinical outcomes in older patients with hip fractures undergoing surgery.METHODSThis retrospective longitudinal study used a multicenter hospital-based database containing the Diagnosis Procedure Combination. Consecutive patients with hip fractures (ICD-10 codes S720 and S721) who were aged ≥65 years between April 2014 and August 2020 were included. We evaluated the predictive association between the CPS and Barthel Index (BI) efficiency. The primary outcome was defined as the BI efficiency, and the secondary outcome was the length of hospital stay.RESULTSWe enrolled 11,564 patients, and 80.5% of them were female. The mean age was 83.9 ± 6.5 years. The BI efficiency was the lowest in the CPS severe group with a median [interquartile range] of 0.67 [0.10, 1.43]. The length of hospital stay was the highest in the CPS severe group, with a median of 35 [21, 58]. Additionally, multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the CPS was independently associated with the BI efficiency (β = −0.100, 95% CI: −0.040, −0.029; P < 0.001) and the length of hospital stay (β = 0.047, 95% CI: 0.199, 0.366; P < 0.001).CONCLUSIONSAn increased CPS score is associated with low BI efficiency and longer length of hospital stay in patients with hip fractures.
