Objectives

Narrative objectives1

This study aims to prospectively investigate the characteristics, treatments, and outcomes of older adults with multiple rib fractures. Specifically, it examines whether high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy as a respiratory support intervention can improve outcomes such as the incidence of pneumonia, mortality rates, ventilator use, length of hospital stay, duration of ICU stay, and severity of dyspnea.

Study Type
This study is a multicenter prospective observational study led by the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine (JAAM), targeting acute care hospitals across Japan. The study will involve patients receiving treatment for multiple rib fractures as part of standard care, utilizing only information obtained within the scope of usual clinical practice.

Data Collection Items
If the patient has already been discharged at the time of data collection, follow-up will be conducted by phone to the subsequent location (e.g., transfer destination or home) to obtain as much information as possible. Data collection will not include information beyond 30 days after admission.

1. Patient Basic Information
2. Information on Multiple Rib Fractures
3. Mechanical Support Information
4. Procedures and Surgeries
5. Pain Management
6. Physical Therapy Information
7. Medication Information

Target Sample Size and Rationale
Target Sample Size: 1,000 cases

Study Period
Total duration: Approximately 5 years (April 1, 2025-March 31, 2030, planned)
Enrollment period: Approximately 3 years (April 1, 2025-March 31, 2028, planned)
