Tóm tắt

Objective: To assess the quality of life (QoL) of elderly patients with closed humeral shaft fractures treated with internal fixation at Thai Binh Provincial General Hospital. 
Method: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 55 elderly patients with closed humeral shaft fractures, who underwent internal fixation with plate and screws at Thai Binh Provincial General Hospital from January 2020 to March 2024. The EQ-5D-5L scale was used to assess the quality of life of elderly patients. 
Results: The quality of life index of the study group was 0.71±0.18 (ranging from 0.26 to 0.94), lower than the quality of life of the elderly population in the community. The quality of life increased in correlation with the level of functional recovery of the patients (p=0.000). Factors associated with poorer quality of life included advanced age (p=0.000), low educational level (p=0.018), no longer working (p=0.035), multiple chronic diseases (p=0.002), and associated injuries at the time of fracture (p=0.009). 
Conclusions: The quality of life of patients after treatment for humeral shaft fractures using plate fixation was lower than that of the general elderly population. Factors negatively impacting quality of life, as recorded in this study, included advanced age, low educational attainment, lack of employment, multiple chronic diseases, and associated injuries at the time of the fracture.
