Preoperative LCR can predict mortality and complications in displaced displaced femoral neck facture
The low level of preoperative Lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein (CRP) ratio (LCR) can effectively predict 1-year mortality and 30-day total complications after surgery in elderly patients with displaced femoral neck facture undergoing hemiarthroplasty suggests a recent study published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
Results:
A total of 47 patients (12.9%) died within 1-year follow-up after surgery.
The optimal cutoff value for LCR was 30,560
Low-LCR (≤ 30,560) group had a higher mortality rate than high-LCR group
In multivariate analysis, low LCR, hypoalbuminemia, and Age-Adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index ≥ 6 were identified as independent predictors for 1-year mortality. Moreover, low level of LCR was associated with high rate of total complications perioperative transfusions, and longer hospital stay
The low level of preoperative LCR can effectively predict 1-year mortality and 30-day total complications after surgery in elderly patients with displaced FNF undergoing hemiarthroplasty.
