Association between preoperative persistent hyperglycemia and postoperative length of hospital in geriatric hip fracture patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Metabolic disorders play a significant role in determining the length of hospital stay following hip fracture surgery in elderly patients. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct an in-depth investigation into the relationship between stress-induced hyperglycemia-one of the manifestations of metabolic disorders-and hospitalization duration in this patient population.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study analyzed medical records of patients who underwent hip fracture surgery at a tertiary medical institution between January 2017 and November 2024. LASSO regression identified covariates for multivariate logistic regression. Propensity score matching minimized bias. Standardized mean differences assessed group balance. Logistic regression, restricted cubic splines, an
