| Popis: | Category: Ankle, Diabetes, Trauma Introduction/Purpose: Factors predicting complications after surgical treatment of geriatric ankle fractures include presence of various comorbidities such as diabetes, chronic renal disease. However, beyond the binary definition of presence or absence, further speci? c information of these comorbidities such as their chronicity, severity and/or perioperative laboratories have not been studied as risk factors for postoperative complications. The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between the measurements of comorbidities and complications within the? rst 30 days following surgical treatment of geriatric ankle fracture. Methods: A retrospective cohort study. From 2000 to 2015, we collected patient demographics, comorbidities-related data including laboratory values and complications within 30 days following open reduction and internal fixation of low energy ankle fractures in patients older than 65 years. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to determine factors affecting minor (super? cial wound infection, delayed wound healing, urinary tract infection, pneumonia), major complications (deep wound infection, loss of? xation, deep venous thrombosis, organ/space failure). Results: In total, 1,358 patients were included for analysis. The average age was 70.54 years (SD, 7.40). There were 895 (66%) females and 463 (34%) males. Baseline glucose concentrations >200 mg/dL (p < 0.001) and the mean 48 hour postoperative serum glucose concentrations >150 mg/dL (p < 0.001), history of taking wound compromising medications (p = 0.003) were signi? cantly associated with minor complications. Preoperative glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) >6.5% (p < 0.001), estimated glomerular? ltration rate (eGFR) |
