Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the relationship between postoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and the risk of early periprosthetic joint infections following primary hip arthroplasty.
- It analyzes data from 708 patients to assess CRP and white blood cell counts over 20 days post-surgery, finding a total of eight acute infections.
- The findings highlight that using a multinominal logistic regression model allows for an effective early prediction of infections, achieving 87.5% sensitivity and 78.9% specificity by day 5 post-surgery.
Introduction: Transgender women have been reported to have a high burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and risk factors based largely on surveys. Our aim was to describe the prevalence of CVD and associated comorbidities among a cohort of older transgender women referred to cardiology as part of their gender-affirming care.
Methods: This was a retrospective, cross-sectional study of transgender women at a single institution from 2017 to 2019.
