Application study of multidisciplinary collaboration (MDT) integrated management model in perioperative management of patients with infectious nonunion.

Objective: To explore the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary treatment (MDT) integrated intervention model in the perioperative management of patients with infectious nonunion.

Methods: 80 patients with infectious bone defects treated in our hospital from January 2020 to January 2023 were selected. They were classified into MDT-integrated perioperative group (study group) and conventional control group according to the different management patterns, with 40 cases each.

Risk factors for perioperative acute heart failure in older hip fracture patients and establishment of a nomogram predictive model.

Aim: This study aims to explore the risk factors for perioperative acute heart failure in older patients with hip fracture and establish a nomogram prediction model.

Methods: The present study was a retrospective study. From January 2020 to December 2021, patients who underwent surgical treatment for hip fracture at the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University were included.

Incidence, Causes, and Risk Factors of Unplanned Readmissions in Elderly Patients Undergoing Hip Fracture Surgery: An Observational Study.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to examine the incidence and cause of unplanned readmission after Surgically Treated Hip Fractures in Elderly Patients and identify the associated risk factors.

Methods: This study retrospectively collected the data on elderly patients who underwent hip fracture surgery at two institutions from January 2020 to December 2021, and identified those who were readmitted within 12 months postoperatively. Based on the presence or not of postoperative readmission, they were divided into readmission and non-readmission groups.

Incidence and Risk Factors for Surgical Site Infection after Femoral Neck Fracture Surgery: An Observational Cohort Study of 2218 Patients.

Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) was a formidable challenge for surgical management of femoral neck fractures; however, there was a lack of studies with comprehensive variables. We conducted this study to investigate the incidence and risk factors of SSI in elderly patients with femoral neck fractures.

Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients who presented with femoral neck fractures and underwent surgery in our institution between January 2016 and April 2020.

Relationship Between Preoperative Hypoalbuminemia and Postoperative Pneumonia Following Geriatric Hip Fracture Surgery: A Propensity-Score Matched and Conditional Logistic Regression Analysis.

Background: Pneumonia is a devastating complication following geriatric hip fracture surgery, and preoperative hypoalbuminemia may be a potentially modifiable factor leading to improved outcome. This study aimed to quantify the relationship between preoperative hypoalbuminemia and postoperative pneumonia.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of elderly patients (≥60 years) who underwent surgeries for hip fracture in a tertiary referral center between 2016 and 2020.

Incidence and risk factors for postoperative pneumonia following surgically treated hip fracture in geriatric patients: a retrospective cohort study.

Objective: Large sample investigations for risk factors for pneumonia in elderly patients after hip fracture surgeries are lacking. The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence and risk factors for postoperative pneumonia in geriatric patients following hip fracture operations.

Methods: A retrospective study of incidence and risk factors in a tertiary referral center between 2016 and 2020 was conducted.

Role of a new age-adjusted D-dimer cutoff value for preoperative deep venous thrombosis exclusion in elderly patients with hip fractures.

Objective: This study aimed to describe the characteristics of plasma D-dimer level with increasing age and establish a new age-adjusted D-dimer cutoff value for excluding preoperative lower limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in elderly patients with hip fractures.

Methods: This was a retrospective study of elderly patients who presented with acute hip fracture in our institution between June 2016 and June 2019. All patients underwent D-dimer test and duplex ultrasound.
