Influenza illness and hip fracture hospitalizations in nursing home residents: are they related?
In this retrospective cohort study, the investigators evaluated the association between influenza and hip fracture hospitalizations in long-stay (LS) nursing home (NH) residents. The study authors found that influenza like illness (ILI) hospitalizations were associated with a 13% average increase in hip fracture hospitalization risk. In a given NH week, an increase in the number ILI hospitalizations from none to two was associated with an approximate one percentage point increase in hip fracture hospitalization risk.

Randomized, controlled trial of high-dose influenza vaccine among frail residents of long-term care facilities.
The researchers compared high-dose to standard-dose inactivated influenza vaccine in residents of long-term-care facilities (LTCFs) during the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 influenza seasons. They found that, among frail, elderly residents of LTCFs, high-dose influenza vaccine produced superior responses for all strains except influenza A(H1N1) in 2012-2013.
