Objective:To explore the risk factors for adverse cardiac events within 30 postoperative days in the aged patients with hip fracture.Methods:We retrospectively evaluated the clinical data of 1, 004 aged patients who had been admitted to Department of Orthopaedics, The 7th Medical Center, PLA General Hospital for hip fractures from January 2012 to December 2016. According to whether cardiac complications occurred within 30 days after operation, they were divided into 2 groups: a group with adverse cardiac events and a group free from adverse cardiac events. The 2 groups were compared in terms of age, gender, concomitant disease, timing of surgery, type of surgery and anesthesia mode. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors of adverse cardiac events 30 days after operation. In addition, the 2 groups were also compared in 30-day mortality, 1-year mortality, and total mortality postoperation.Results:Adverse cardiac events occurred in 45 patients (4.5%) within 30 days after operation. The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that advanced age ( OR=1.085, 95% CI: 1.033-1.139), chronic renal insufficiency ( OR=5.296, 95% CI: 2.172-12.910), cardiac insufficiency ( OR=2.938, 95% CI: 1.283-6.729), delayed operation ( OR=3.682, 95% CI: 1.110-12.220) were independent risk factors for cardiac adverse events 30 days after operation. The 30-day mortality, 1-year mortality, and total mortality postoperation were respectively 17.8% (8/45), 26.7% (12/45) and 46.7% (21/45) for the group with adverse cardiac events, and respectively 3.6% (35/959), 9.1% (87/959) and 28.5%(273/959) for the group free from adverse cardiac events, showing significant differences between the2 groups (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Advanced age, cardiac insufficiency, chronic renal insufficiency and delayed surgery may be independent risk factors for adverse cardiac events within 30 days after surgery in the elderly patients with hip fracture who show a significantly higher mortality than those free from adverse cardiac events.

【Objective】 To investigate the preoperative anemia and perioperative blood transfusion in patients with duodenal papillary carcinoma who underwent Whipple surgery. 【Methods】 The clinical data of 1 959 cases with duodenal papillary carcinoma, subjected to Whipple surgery, were retrospectively analyzed. 【Results】 The rate of anemia in preoperative patients with duodenal papillary carcinoma was 54.87%(1 075/1 959). The incidence rate of anemia in the three age groups from low to high was 44.92% (≤50 years old, 190/423), 52.82% (51~64 years old, 506/958), and 65.57% (≥65 years old, 379/578) (P<0.05), and the highest rate of anemia occurred in patients aged above 65. There was a significant statistical difference among patients with different body mass index (BMI)(P<0.05). Patients with moderate or severe anemia received more red blood cells than patients with mild anemia during the perioperative period (P<0.05). The average hospitalization time of the blood transfusion patients was 27.25 days, and that of non-transfusion patients was 22.22 days (P<0.05). The amount of blood loss and hospitalization time of patients underwent laparoscopic and robotic surgery were significantly lower than those underwent open surgery patients (P <0.05). There were only 24.09%(186/772) treated with drugs for anemia intervention and the majority of patients (75.91%, 586/772) were treated with blood transfusions to interfere with anemia during hospitalization. 【Conclusion】 There are significant differences in the incidence rate of preoperative anemia among patients with duodenal papillary carcinoma who undergone Whipple surgery. Low BMI, abnormal WBC, and perioperative blood transfusion are high-risk factors for prolonged hospital stay, whereas anemia is not associated with prolonged hospital stay.
