Abstract:Objectives To retrospectively analyze the value of blood nutrition indexes in predicting the oneyear mortality rate after operation of elderly intertrochanteric fracture. Method A total of 99 patients over 65 years old who underwent intramedullary nailing with intertrochanteric fracture were selected from January 2012 to January 2016. Factors including gender, age, admission serum albumin, total protein, globulin, prealbumin, lymphocyte count (TLC), hemoglobin, serum potassium and calcium were analyzed. Survival of the patients were followed up one year after operation. Result Thirty-five of them were dead within one year after operation.There were no differences in gender (P > 0.05) and in blood parameters and lymphocyte count between male and female patients (P > 0.05). There were statistical differences in age, albumin and hemoglobin between male and female patients (P < 0.05). Further multivariate linear regression analysis was used to determine age (Ol ^ R: 0.911, 95% CI: 0.850, 0.977, P < 0.05) and hemoglobin (Ol ^ R: 1.030, 95% CI: 1.005, 1.056, P < 0.05) as factors in predicting one-year mortality after operation. Conclusion Nutritional indicators have predictive value for one-year mortality after intertrochanteric fracture; age, hemoglobin and albumin are significant to mortality rate.
