Why the study?
Does early postoperative hypoalbuminaemia increase the risk of postoperative pneumonia in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery?
Does early postoperative hypoalbuminaemia increase the risk of postoperative pneumonia in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery?
Early postoperative hypoalbuminaemia is an independent risk factor for postoperative pneumonia following hip fracture surgery.
Supports pneumonia surveillance in hypoalbuminaemic hip fracture patients; leaves open whether repletion reduces risk in trials.
This study demonstrated that early postoperative hypoalbuminaemia is an independent risk factor for the development of postoperative pneumonia in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.
