Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To explore the related factors of fever of unknown causes before operation of intertrochanteric fracture of femur in the elderly.
METHODS:From August 2015 to August 2018, 156 cases of intertrochanteric fracture of femur were treated by intramedullary nail fixation. According to the preoperative measurement, whether there was fever was divided into fever group and non fever group. There were 80 cases in fever group, 26 males and 54 females, aged 60 to 93 (75.063±13.082) years; 76 cases in non fever group, 39 males and 37 females, aged 60 to 96 (74.763±13.692) years. All patients' sex, age, basic diseases, WBC, NE%, Hb, CRP, D dimer and ALB were observed for single factor analysisand multi factor analysis.
RESULTS:Single factor analysis showed that gender, Hb, CRP had influence on preoperative fever, but other indexes had no influence; multi factor analysis showed that gender and CRP might have influence on fever. The probability of fever increased by 1.2%(=0.050) for every increase of CRP, and there was no significant difference between female and male in the probability of fever (=0.061).
CONCLUSION:CRP is an independent risk factor of preoperative fever in the elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture of femur. The abnormality of CRP indicates that patients are more likely to have preoperative fever. Perioperative management should pay attention to the monitoring of CRP and early intervention.
