Mortality increased to 17.1% (1 year), 24.5% (2 years), and 30.1% (3 years). Increased age, male ***, higher CCI score, primary insurance status-Medicare/Medicaid, and lower BMI were associated with increased mortality. The objective of this study was to evaluate mortality and factors associated with mortality of osteoporotic hip fracture patients at community hospitals within a large healthcare system in Hawai'i. A retrospective chart review was conducted of 428 patients, ≥50years, and hospitalized for a osteoporotic hip fracture from January 2015 to May 2016 within a large healthcare system in Hawai'i. Patient demographics, comorbidities, and treatment were collected from retrospective chart review. We determined the date of death by review of medical records and online public obituary records. We calculated 30-day, 90-day, 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year mortality after discharge for hip fracower body mass index were associated with increased mortality. After admission for osteoporotic hip fracture, the 30-day mortality was 4.2%. At 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years, mortality increased to 17.1%, 24.5%, and 30.1%, respectively. Increased age, male ***, higher Charlson comorbidity index score, primary insurance status-Medicare/Medicaid, and lower body mass index were associated with increased mortality. We aimed to compare the efficacy of ultrasound-guided core-needle biopsy (CNB) with repeat fine-needle aspiration (rFNA) cytology in thyroid nodules with inconclusive results in initial fine-needle aspiration cytology. We studied 402 patients who required a repeat biopsy of thyroid nodules using ultrasound-guided CNB (n = 192) or rFNA (n = 210) because of inconclusive results in initial FNA, corresponding to categories I, III, and IV of the Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology.
