Independent predictors of systemic inflammatory response syndrome for intramedullary nailing of femoral shaft fractures: Analysis of national inpatient sample database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is a clinical reaction that can occur due to a variety of stimuli. Reamed intramedullary femoral nailing is a common orthopedic surgery that has been shown to induce SIRS. To date, no nationwide analyses have been performed to evaluate the incidence, risk factors, and economic burdens of SIRS following intramedullary femoral nailing for femoral shaft fractures. The objective of this study is to investigate the independent predictors, incidence, post-operative, and economic burden of SIRS among patients treated with intramedullary nailing for femoral shaft fractures.

Methods

We utilized the 2016-2019 National Inpatient Sample (NIS) to identify patients who underwent intramedullary femoral nailing and were diagnosed
