Association of hemoglobin levels at admission with postoperative pneumonia in elderly patients with hip fracture: A retrospective cohort study

Abstract: Previous studies have suggested a correlation between low preoperative hemoglobin (Hb) levels and postoperative pneumonia (POP) in elderly patients with hip fractures. However, the exact inflection point of Hb level that increases the risk of POP remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the quantitative relationship between preoperative Hb levels and the incidence of POP in this patient population. This retrospective study included 1417 elderly patients with hip fractures who were admitted to the Depar… Show more

“…Furthermore, an elevation in the body’s metabolic rate may result in heightened dietary requirements. Anemia, which lowers hemoglobin levels, can result from the body not getting enough nutrition to satisfy its needs [ 36 ]. As result, while diagnosing pyonephrosis, hemoglobin level has a reference value.…”
