Bidirectional Relationship Between Hypoalbuminemia and Postoperative Pneumonia in Elderly Hip Fracture Patients: A Retrospective Cohort Study by Wang J, Yu H, Xu X, Guo J

“…All participants’ demographics, injury-related data, surgery-related data, perioperative complications, and two-year follow-up mortality rates were collected and compared.Results: A total of 1,661 patients were included, of whom 144 developed postoperative pneumonia (8.67%). Preoperative hypoalbuminemia was identified as an independent risk factor for postoperative pneumonia (OR: 7.96, 95% CI: 4.08– 15.53, P< 0.001), while postoperative pneumonia itself was associated with an increased risk of developing hypoalbuminemia (OR: 2.34, 95% CI: 1.62– 3.38, P< 0.001). …”
