Correlation of Preoperative Inflammation/Immunity Markers With Postoperative Urinary Tract Infections in Elderly Hip Fracture Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Given the rising incidence of postoperative urinary tract infections (UTIs) in elderly patients with hip fractures and their substantial impact on mortality and functional recovery, identifying accessible predictors for early risk stratification is critical to improving perioperative management. This study aimed to investigate the association between preoperative inflammation/immune markers and the occurrence of postoperative UTIs in the vulnerable population.

Methods

This study examined elderly patients who underwent hip surgery for hip fractures at our institution from March 2014 to June 2024. Preoperative inflammation/immune markers such as the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and systemic immune inflammation index (SII)
