Why the study?
The study aimed to explore risk factors associated with blood transfusion after intramedullary nail fixation for femoral intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients and establish a predictive nomogram model.
What are the risk factors for postoperative blood transfusion in elderly patients undergoing intramedullary nail fixation for femoral intertrochanteric fractures, and can a nomogram accurately predict this risk?
What are the risk factors for postoperative blood transfusion in elderly patients undergoing intramedullary nail fixation for femoral intertrochanteric fractures, and can a nomogram accurately predict this risk?
A nomogram incorporating sex, preoperative Hb, ASA score, anesthesia type, and intraoperative blood loss accurately predicts the risk of postoperative blood transfusion in elderly patients with femoral intertrochanteric fractures.
Offers a preliminary risk stratification tool for perioperative blood management; leaves open whether prospective use of this nom.
