Impact of preoperative analytical values on post-operative mortality rate of intertrochanteric fractures.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:Intertrochanteric fractures incidence has been increasing over the past few years and therefore so have all the problems associated with it. It is important to search for possible ways to reduce comorbidities as well as postoperative mortality. We decided to assess the impact of some routine pre-operative analytical values on post-operative mortality of patients with inter-trochanteric fractures 65 years or older. MATERIAL AND METHODS:From all intertrochanteric fracture admissions between January 2007 and May 2012, 160 patients were included in this study. The variables studied were age, gender, length of hospital stay, and analytical data such as hemoglobin, total leucocyte count, platelets, urea, creatinin and plasma sodium. Follow-up data on mortality were obtained from the civil registry and, considering 6 months as the cut-off point, patients were divided into 2 groups based on their survival. Mann-Whitney and Chi square statistics were used to study the association between our variables and patients survival. RESULTS:Our population showed a median age of 82 years old and a majority of women (79.4%). Within the first 6 months after surgery, 27 patients of the initial 160 (16.1%) died. Mortality was associated with low hemoglobin, high platelets, high creatinin and low plasma sodium. CONCLUSIONS:Postoperative mortality of hip surgery is high. Our findings could be used to reduce this rate by correcting some analytical values preoperatively. :Introdução: A incidência das fraturas intertrocantéricas tem aumentado ao longo dos últimos anos, bem como todos os problemas a elas associados. É importante pesquisar possíveis formas de reduzir quer co-morbilidades, quer a mortalidade pós-operatória. Decidimos avaliar o impacto de alguns valores analíticos pré-operatórios na mortalidade pós-operatória de doentes com fractura intertrocantérica, com idade igual ou superior a 65 anos.Material e Métodos: De todas as fracturas intertrocantéricas admitidas entre Janeiro de 2007 e Maio 2012, 160 doentes foram incluídos no estudo. As variáveis estudadas foram idade, género, tempo de internamento, e dados analíticos, como hemoglobina, contagem de leucócitos e plaquetas, níveis de ureia e creatinina e concentração de sódio plasmática. Informação relativa à mortalidade foi obtida através do registo civil e, considerando um ponto de corte de seis meses após a cirurgia, os doentes foram divididos em dois grupos de acordo com a sua sobrevida. Os testes de Mann-Whitney e Chi-quadrado foram utilizados para estudar a associação entre as nossas variáveis e a sobrevida dos doentes.Resultados: A nossa população apresentava uma idade mediana de 82 anos de idade e uma maioria de mulheres (79,4%). Nos primeiros 6 meses após a cirurgia, 27 doentes dos iniciais 160 (16,1%) faleceram. A mortalidade estava relacionada com valores baixos de hemoglobina, elevados de plaquetas, elevados de creatinina e baixa concentração de sódio plasmático.Conclusão: A taxa de mortalidade pos-operatória da cirurgia da anca é elevada. Os nossos resultados podem ser utilizados parareduzir esta taxa, corrigindo valores analíticos pré-operatórios.
