Abstract:Objective To study the factors influencing the functional recovery of hip joint and the predictive value of femoral neck strength index (FSI) and bone marrow lipid fraction (LF) in elderly patients with hip fracture after operation.Methods Totally 176 elderly patients with hip fracture were selected from October 2016 to February 2019. According to Harris hip score, 90 patients with good recovery were in good recovery group, and 86 patients with poor recovery were in poor recovery group. A retrospective study was conducted to observe the related data of two groups of patients after operation, to monitor the changes of FSI and LF levels, and to analyze the influencing factors of hip function recovery in elderly patients with hip fracture by logistic analysis. The ROC curve was drawn to determine the early predictive value of FSI and LF for hip function recovery in elderly patients with hip fracture after operation.Results There were significant differences in age, fracture site, basic disease, Basel evaluation, postoperative complications, and types of joint rehabilitation training between patients with good recovery and those with poor recovery (P < 0.05). The difference value of FSI and LF levels in patients with good recovery after 3 months and before operation were higher than those in patients with poor recovery (P < 0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showedthat basic diseases [O^R = 4.259 (95% CI: 1.712, 10.595) ], Basel assessment [O^R = 3.736 (95% CI:1.159, 12.039) ], post-operative complications [O^R = 6.297 (95% CI: 1.866, 21.225) ], FSI [O^R = 5.894 (95% CI: 1.567, 22.175) ], and LF levels changed [O^R = 5.749 (95% CI: 1.679, 19.685) ] at 3 months after surgery were risk factors affecting the recovery of hip function in elderly patients with hip fracture (P <0.05), and post-operative rehabilitation training [O^R = 0.103 (95% CI: 0.025, 0.422) ] was its protective factor (P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis results showed that the AUC of FSI difference value predicted in the early stage was 0.790. When the cutoff value was 1.01, the sensitivity and specificity were 70.0% (95% CI: 0.593, 0.790) and 69.8%(95% CI: 0.588, 0.790). The AUC of LF level difference value predicted in the early stage was 0.739. When the truncation value was 26.18%, the sensitivity and specificity were 70.0% (95% CI: 0.593, 0.790) and 67.4% (95% CI: 0.564, 0.769). The combined predicted AUC was 0.833, sensitivity and specificity were 76.7% (95% CI: 0.663, 0.847) and 72.1% (95% CI: 0.612, 0.810).Conclusion Strengthening the monitoring of risk factors and observing the changes of FSI and LF levels are helpful for early prediction of hip function recovery in elderly patients with hip fracture after operation, so as to formulate corresponding prevention and control measures and promote early recovery of patients.
