ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT

Objective:

To identify the epidemiological profile of older patients with proximal femoral fractures treated at the Hospital Regional de Cotia, SP - Brazil, and describe the nutritional status of these patients.

Methods:

Data were obtained from the electronic patient medical records from August 2020 to April 2021. The variables studied were age, gender, ethnicity, weight and height (for BMI calculation), and presence of comorbidities. Fracture circumstances were also assessed, including trauma mechanism, anatomical location, and treatment. Moreover, the nutritional profile of patients was assessed using the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MAN).

Results:

Most patients were white women, with a mean age of 80 years and an average BMI of 23.55 kg/m2. Almost all patients suffered the fracture at home and the most common comorbidities were systemic arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and Alzheimer's disease. Most patients were considered to be malnourished or at risk of malnutrition.

Conclusion:

The nutritional status of older adults seems to be directly related to the risk of proximal fractures of the femur. Level of Evidence II, Retrospective Study.
RESUMO
RESUMO

Objetivo:

Traçar o perfil epidemiológico dos pacientes idosos com fratura de fêmur proximal atendidos no Hospital Regional de Cotia - SP, além de descrever o estado nutricional desses pacientes.

Método:

As informações para confecção deste trabalho foram obtidas a partir dos prontuários eletrônicos dos pacientes atendidos no período agosto de 2020 a abril de 2021. As variáveis estudadas foram idade, sexo, etnia, peso e altura (para cálculo do índice de massa corporal - IMC) e presença de comorbidades. Também foram avaliadas as circunstâncias da fratura, tais como mecanismo do trauma, localização anatômica e tratamento instituído. Ainda, avaliou-se o perfil nutricional dos pacientes por meio da Mini Avaliação Nutricional (Mini-MAN).

Resultados:

Predominaram pacientes do sexo feminino, brancas, com média de 80 anos de idade e IMC médio de 23,55 kg/m 2 . Quase todos os pacientes se acidentaram em casa, e as comorbidades mais observadas foram hipertensão arterial sistêmica, diabetes mellitus e doença de Alzheimer. A grande maioria dos pacientes foi considerada desnutrida ou em risco de desnutrição.

Conclusão:

O estado nutricional dos idosos parece estar diretamente relacionado ao risco de fraturas proximais do fêmur. Nível de Evidência II, Estudo Retrospectivo.
