Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the preoperative nutritional status of various orthopedic patients, particularly focusing on the elderly in Jeju, where there is a lack of relevant data.
- A total of 331 patients across different orthopedic conditions were assessed for malnutrition using specific criteria like BMI, albumin levels, and lymphocyte counts, finding no cases of malnutrition among elective and arthroplasty patients.
- In contrast, infection patients showed lower albumin levels and altered lymphocyte ratios, indicating some nutritional concerns as they age, particularly for those over 70 years.
