Key result
Lower eGFR linked to ~1% higher preoperative DVT risk in hip fracture patients.
Why the study?
Does chronic kidney disease increase the risk of preoperative deep vein thrombosis in middle-aged and elderly patients with hip fractures?
Cohort (n=248)
No
Does chronic kidney disease increase the risk of preoperative deep vein thrombosis in middle-aged and elderly patients with hip fractures?
Odds Ratio: 0.99
p-value: p=0.046
Alerts clinicians to factor eGFR into preoperative DVT risk assessment for hip fractures; extends observational data but leaves causality and intervention effects open.

Wang et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in Hip fractures (n=248). Lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) / Chronic kidney disease vs. Higher eGFR / Normal kidney function was evaluated on Preoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) (OR 0.99, p=0.046). Lower estimated glomerular filtration rate was an independent risk factor for preoperative deep vein thrombosis in middle-aged and elderly patients with hip fractures (OR 0.99, p=0.046).
