Correlation between C-reactive protein and postoperative mortality in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hip fracture is a common but devastating disease with a high mortality rate in the older adult population. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a predictor of the prognosis in many diseases, but its correlations with patient outcomes following hip fracture surgery remain unclear. In this meta-analysis, we investigated the correlation between perioperative CRP level and postoperative mortality in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.

Methods

PubMed, Embase, and Scopus were searched for relevant studies published before September 2022. Observational studies investigating the correlation between perioperative CRP level and postoperative mortality in patients with hip fracture were included. The differences in CRP levels between the survivors and nonsurvivors following hip fracture surgery were measured with mean differences (MDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Results

Fourteen prospective and retrospective cohort studies comprising 3986 patients with hip fracture were included in the meta-analysis. Both the preoperative and postoperative CRP levels were significantly higher in the death group than in the survival group when the follow-up duration was ≥ 6 months (MD: 0.67, 95% CI: 0.37-0.98, P < 0.0001; MD: 1.26, 95% CI: 0.87-1.65, P < 0.00001, respectively). Preoperative CRP levels were significantly higher in the death group than in the survival group when the follow-up duration was ≤ 30 days (MD: 1.49, 95% CI: 0.29-2.68; P = 0.01).

Conclusions

Both higher preoperative and postoperative CRP levels were correlated with higher risk of mortality following hip fracture surgery, suggesting the prognostic role of CRP. Further studies are warranted to confirm the ability of CRP to predict postoperative mortality in patients with hip fracture.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough the incidence of postoperative delirium (POD) in the elderly after surgery are rising as individuals are living longer, the pathogenesis of POD remains poorly understood. It has been suggested that miRNA-320 may play a role in POD based on animal study and human study.MethodsWe first carried out an animal study, and designed and conducted a human study based on the result of animal study. The aged rats were randomly assigned to five groups: the control (C), anesthesia and surgery (AS), saline (NS), agomir-320 (AG), and antagomir-320 (AT) groups. Postoperative spatial learning and memory in rats were analyzed by the Morris water maze and the open field tests. The plasma levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), amyloid precursor protein (APP) proteins, miRNA320 and IGF-1mRNA were measured by ELISA and qRT-PCR, respectively. A total of 240 Chinese Han patients over 65 years who underwent tibial fracture internal fixation were included in the PNDABLE study. POD cases and non-POD controls (1:1 matched) were selected by an anesthesiologist using Confusion Assessment Method.ResultsFor Group AS, the escape latency was significantly longer and the ratio of time spent in the target quadrant was significantly reduced, APP and miR-320 were upregulated and IGF-1mRNA was downregulated compared with Group C. For Group AG, the escape latency was significantly longer and the ratio of time spent in the target quadrant was significantly reduced, APP and miR-320 were upregulated and IGF-1mRNA was downregulated compared with Group AS. For Group AT, the escape latency was significantly reduced and the ratio of time spent in the target quadrant was significantly longer, APP and miR-320 were downregulated and IGF-1mRNAwas upregulated compared with Group AS. Compared with NPOD patients, the expressions of plasma miR-320 and APP protein were increased and the expression of plasma IGF-1 mRNA was decreased in POD patients after surgery.ConclusionsMiRNA-320 might play a role in up-regulating the levels of IGF-1mRNA and APP protein, which offered a new target for POD treatment.Trial registrationCorrelation of perioperative neurocognitive disorders with lifestyle and biomarkers.

Project description:Importance:Although wait times for hip fracture surgery have been linked to mortality and are being used as quality-of-care indicators worldwide, controversy exists about the duration of the wait that leads to complications. Objective:To use population-based wait-time data to identify the optimal time window in which to conduct hip fracture surgery before the risk of complications increases. Design, Setting, and Participants:Population-based, retrospective cohort study of adults undergoing hip fracture surgery between April 1, 2009, and March 31, 2014, at 72 hospitals in Ontario, Canada. Risk-adjusted restricted cubic splines modeled the probability of each complication according to wait time. The inflection point (in hours) when complications began to increase was used to define early and delayed surgery. To evaluate the robustness of this definition, outcomes among propensity-score matched early and delayed surgical patients were compared using percent absolute risk differences (RDs, with 95% CIs). Exposure:Time elapsed from hospital arrival to surgery (in hours). Main Outcomes and Measures:Mortality within 30 days. Secondary outcomes included a composite of mortality or other medical complications (myocardial infarction, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and pneumonia). Results:Among 42 230 patients with hip fracture (mean [SD] age, 80.1 years [10.7], 70.5% women) who met study entry criteria, overall mortality at 30 days was 7.0%. The risk of complications increased when wait times were greater than 24 hours, irrespective of the complication considered. Compared with 13 731 propensity-score matched patients who received surgery earlier, 13 731 patients who received surgery after 24 hours had a significantly higher risk of 30-day mortality (898 [6.5%] vs 790 [5.8%]; % absolute RD, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.23-1.35) and the composite outcome (1680 [12.2%]) vs 1383 [10.1%]; % absolute RD, 2.16; 95% CI, 1.43-2.89). Conclusions and Relevance:Among adults undergoing hip fracture surgery, increased wait time was associated with a greater risk of 30-day mortality and other complications. A wait time of 24 hours may represent a threshold defining higher risk.

Project description:The association between admission hyperglycemia and postoperative pneumonia is unclear in hip fracture patients. We investigated the relationship between admission hyperglycemia and postoperative pneumonia after hip fracture surgery. This retrospective study analyzed data from 1,267 geriatric patients admitted for hip fractures. Patients were categorized into normoglycemic (< 6.10 mmol/L) and hyperglycemic (≥ 6.10 mmol/L) groups based on admission blood glucose levels. Multivariable logistic regression and propensity score matching (PSM) were used to control for potential confounding variables and estimate adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for postoperative pneumonia (POP). We also examined the dose-dependent link between admission blood glucose and the likelihood of developing POP. Further analyses evaluated whether admission hyperglycemia has differing impacts on POP outcomes among hip fracture patients without diabetes (NDM) versus those with diabetes (DM). Additionally, subgroup analyses were conducted to assess the influence of other factors on the relationship between admission blood glucose and POP occurrence. Patients with admission hyperglycemia had significantly higher rates of POP compared to normoglycemic patients, both before (13.2% vs. 4.8%) and after (10.1% vs. 5.8%) PSM. Admission hyperglycemia is an independent risk factor of POP (OR = 2.64, 95% CI: 1.42-4.92, p = 0.002). The association persisted after PSM(OR = 2.90, 95% CI: 1.35-3.86, p = 0.016). Additionally, higher blood glucose levels correlated with a greater likelihood of developing POP. A dose-response relationship was observed between blood glucose levels and the risk of POP. Non-diabetic group patients with hyperglycemia were at higher risk of POP than diabetic group patients with hyperglycemia. Finally, the relationship between hyperglycemia and increased POP risk is modulated and influenced by the ASA classification of the patient. Admission hyperglycemia is an independent risk factor for POP after hip fracture surgery in the elderly. There is a dose-response relationship between admission blood glucose and the occurrence of POP, which is more significant in non-diabetic patients than diabetic patients.

Project description:PurposeThe 30-day mortality rate after hip fracture surgery has been considered as an indirect indicator of the quality of care. The aim of this work is to analyse preoperative and postoperative factors potentially related to early 30-day mortality in patients over 65 undergoing hip fracture surgery.MethodsProspective cohort study including all consecutive primary hip fracture patients over 65 admitted to Trauma and Orthopaedics department from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019. Bed-ridden, non- surgically treated patients, and high energy trauma or tumoral aetiology fractures were excluded. A total of 943 patients were eligible (attrition rate: 2.1%). Follow-up included 30-days after discharge. We noted the 30-day mortality after hip fracture surgery, analysing 130 potentially related variables including biodemographic, fracture-related, preoperative, and postoperative clinical factors. Qualitative variables were assessed by χ2, and quantitative variables by non-parametric tests. Odds ratio determined by binary logistic regression. We selected preventable candidate variables for multivariate risk assessment by logistic regression.ResultsA total of 923 patients were enrolled (mean age 86.22±6.8, 72.9% women). The 30-day mortality rate was 6.0%. We noted significant increased mortality on men (OR = 2.381[1.371-4.136], p = 0.002), ageing patients (ORyear = 1.073[1.025-1.122], p = 0.002), and longer time to surgery (ORday = 1.183[1.039-1146], p<0.001), on other 20 preoperative clinical variables, like lymphopenia (lymphocyte count <103/μl, OR = 1.842[1.063-3.191], p = 0.029), hypoalbuminemia (≤3.5g/dl, OR = 2.474[1.316-4.643], p = 0.005), and oral anticoagulant intake (OR = 2.499[1.415-4.415], p = 0.002), and on 25 postoperative clinical variables, like arrhythmia (OR = 13.937[6.263-31.017], p<0.001), respiratory insufficiency (OR = 7.002[3.947-12.419], p<0.001), hyperkalaemia (OR = 10.378[3.909-27.555], p<0.001), nutritional supply requirement (OR = 3.576[1.894-6.752], p = 0.021), or early arthroplasty dislocation (OR = 6.557[1.206-35.640], p = 0.029). We developed a predictive model for early mortality after hip fracture surgery based on postoperative factors with 96.0% sensitivity and 60.7% specificity (AUC = 0.863).ConclusionWe revealed that not only preoperative, but also postoperative factors have a great impact after hip fracture surgery. The influence of post-operative factors on 30-day mortality has a logical basis, albeit so far they have not been identified or quantified before. Our results provide an advantageous picture of the 30-day mortality after hip fracture surgery.

Project description:IntroductionPostoperative delirium is a common complication of patients undergoing hip fracture surgery or arthroplasty and is related to decreased survival time and physical function. In this study, we aim to build and validate a prediction score of postoperative delirium in geriatric patients undergoing hip fracture surgery or hip arthroplasty.MethodsA retrospective cohort of geriatric patients undergoing hip fracture surgery or hip arthroplasty was established. Variables of included patients were collected as candidate predictors of postoperative delirium. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and logistic regression were used to derive a predictive score for postoperative delirium. The accuracy of the score was evaluated by the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating curve (ROC). We used bootstrapping resamples for model calibration. The prediction score was validated in an extra cohort.ResultsThere were 1,312 patients in the derivation cohort, and the incidence of postoperative delirium was 14.33%. Of 40 variables, 9 were identified as predictors, including preoperative delirium, cerebrovascular accident (CVA) with the modified Rankin scale, diabetes with a random glucose level, Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), age, application of benzodiazepines in surgery, surgical delay ≥2 days, creatine ≥90 μmol/L, and active smoker. The prediction score achieved a mean AUC of 0.848 in the derivation cohort. In the validation cohort, the mean AUC was 0.833. The prediction model was well-calibrated in the two cohorts.ConclusionBased on retrospective data, a prediction score for postoperative delirium in geriatric patients undergoing hip fracture surgery or hip arthroplasty was derived and validated. The performance of the scoring system outperformed the models from previous studies. Although the generalization ability of the score needs to be tested in similar populations, the scoring system will enable delirium risk stratification for hip fracture patients and facilitate the development of strategies for delirium prevention.

Project description:BackgroundAnemia is common among ortho-geriatric hip fracture patients and is associated with prolonged recovery and increased postoperative mortality rate. Intravenous iron seems to increase hemoglobin recovery and reduce the mortality rate in patients undergoing orthopedic surgeries. This study investigated the association between short-term mortality risk and intravenous iron therapy in older patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.MethodsThis observational study included 210 patients undergoing hip fracture surgery from July 2018 to May 2020. These 210 patients were alive and had a hemoglobin ≤ 6.5 mmol/L on the 3rd postoperative day. In May 2019, a local intravenous iron therapy protocol was implemented and recommended intravenous iron (Monofer©) if hemoglobin on the 3rd postoperative day was ≤ 6.5 mmol/L. According to the treatment of postoperative anemia between the 1st and 3rd day post-surgery, the patients were divided into four groups: no treatment (n=52), blood transfusion (n=38), IV Monofer (n=80), and blood transfusion and IV Monofer (n=40). Primary outcome was 30-day mortality post-surgery. The secondary outcome was the impact on hemoglobin level 14-30 days postoperatively. Multivariable Cox regression was used to estimate the 30-day mortality standardized for covariates.ResultsOf 210 patients, 17 (8.1%) died within 30 days after surgery. There was a significantly lower mortality among the patients who received IV Monofer compared to those who received no treatment (HR 0.17, 95% CI [0.03-0.93], P = 0.041). Among the 86 patients with available hemoglobin measurements within 14 to 30 days post-surgery, there was no significant difference in hemoglobin level between the various treatment groups (mean 6.6 mmol/L, P = 0.1165).ConclusionIV Monofer on the 3rd postoperative day in older hip fracture patients seemed to reduce 30-day mortality compared with no treatment. No significant differences in hemoglobin levels between 14 and 30 days post-surgery across treatment groups were found, although this was assessed in a subset of patients with available hemoglobin levels warranting further study.
