简介：AbstractPurpose:By comparing the outcomes of total hip arthroplasty with hemiarthroplasty in elderly patients with a femoral neck fracture to investigate the one-year mortality, dislocation, infection, reoperation rate, and thromboembolic event.Methods:The PubMed, EMBASE databases, and Cochrane library were systematically searched from the inception dates to April 1, 2020 for relevant randomized controlled trials in English language using the keywords: "total hip arthroplasty" , "hemiarthroplasty" and "femoral neck fracture" to identify systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Two reviewers independently selected articles, extracted data, assessed the quality evidence and risk bias of included trials using the Cochrane Collaboration’ stools, and discussed any disagreements. The third reviewer was consulted for any doubts or uncertainty. We derived risk ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Mortality was defined as the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes were other complications, dislocation, infection, reoperation rate, and thromboembolic event.Results:This meta-analysis included 10 studies with 1419 patients, which indicated that there were no significant differences between hemiarthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty in reoperation, infection rate, and thromboembolic event. However, there was a lower mortality and dislocation rate association with total hip arthroplasty at the one-year follow-up.Conclusion:Based on our results, we found that total hip arthroplasty was better than hemiarthroplasty for a hip fracture at one-year follow-up.

简介：AbstractImportance:Cochlear implantation (CI) is an effective therapy for patients with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss. It remains controversial whether children younger than 12 months of age should undergo CI.Objective:To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of CI in children younger than 12 months of age.Methods:We performed a retrospective study of clinical data of pediatric patients younger than 12 months of age who underwent CI and were followed up for 1 to 2 years. Patients’ developmental levels were evaluated by the Gesell score before CI. Intraoperative and postoperative complications were recorded to evaluate the safety of CI. Auditory and speech abilities were scored by the LittlEARS® auditory questionnaire (LEAQ), categories of auditory performance (CAP), speech intelligibility rating (SIR), infant-toddler meaningful auditory integration scale (IT-MAIS), and meaningful use of speech scale (MUSS) at 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after CI. The associations between clinical characteristics before CI and postoperative scores at 1 year after CI were analyzed by the linear mixed-effects model.Results:Eighty-nine children (47 boys and 42 girls) were included in this study (mean age at CI, 9.2 ± 1.6 months). Sixteen patients were diagnosed with cochlear malformation and 16 underwent bilateral CI. No severe complications occurred in any patients. The mean developmental quotient of the Gesell score was 78.00 ± 10.03. The median LEAQ scores were 0, 5, 10, 16, 22, 26 and 30 before and at 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after CI, respectively. These findings implied that the LEAQ score greatly improved in the first year after CI. The overall CAP, SIR, IT-MAIS, and MUSS scores also increased with increasing duration after CI. No significant associations were detected between clinical characteristics (age, sex, implant number, pre-CI Gesell score, and inner ear malformation) and LEAQ outcomes at 12 months after CI.Interpretation:With increasing duration after CI, auditory and speech behavior dramatically improve in young children. Our findings indicate that CI is feasible for children younger than 12 months of age.
