Xia ZH, Chen WH, Wang Q. Risk factors for venous thromboembolism following surgical treatment of fractures: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Int Wound J 2023; 20:995-1007. [PMID: 36382679 PMCID: PMC10030940 DOI: 10.1111/iwj.13949] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2022] [Accepted: 08/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to determine the risk factors for postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients treated surgically for fractures using a meta-analytic approach. Electronic searches were performed in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane library from inception until February 2022. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were applied to calculate the pooled effect estimate using the random-effects model. Sensitivity, subgroup, and publication bias tests were also performed. Forty-four studies involving 3 239 291 patients and reporting 11 768 VTE cases were selected for the meta-analysis. We found that elderly (OR: 1.72; 95% CI: 1.38-2.15; P < .001), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) ≥ 3 (OR: 1.82; 95% CI: 1.46-2.29; P < .001), blood transfusion (OR: 1.82; 95% CI: 1.14-2.92; P = .013), cardiovascular disease (CVD) (OR: 1.40; 95% CI: 1.22-1.61; P < .001), elevated D-dimer (OR: 4.55; 95% CI: 2.08-9.98; P < .001), diabetes mellitus (DM) (OR: 1.36; 95% CI: 1.19-1.54; P < .001), hypertension (OR: 1.31; 95% CI: 1.09-1.56; P = .003), immobility (OR: 3.45; 95% CI: 2.23-5.32; P < .001), lung disease (LD) (OR: 2.40; 95% CI: 1.29-4.47; P = .006), obesity (OR: 1.52; 95% CI: 1.27-1.82; P < .001), peripheral artery disease (PAD) (OR: 2.13; 95% CI: 1.21-3.73; P = .008), prior thromboembolic event (PTE) (OR: 5.17; 95% CI: 3.14-8.50; P < .001), and steroid use (OR: 2.37; 95% CI: 1.73-3.24; P < .001) were associated with an increased risk of VTE. Additionally, regional anaesthesia (OR: 0.66; 95% CI: 0.45-0.96; P = .029) was associated with a reduced risk of VTE following surgical treatment of fractures. However, alcohol intake, cancer, current smoking, deep surgical site infection, fusion surgery, heart failure, hypercholesterolemia, liver and kidney disease, sex, open fracture, operative time, preoperative anticoagulant use, rheumatoid arthritis, and stroke were not associated with the risk of VTE. Post-surgical risk factors for VTE include elderly, ASA ≥ 3, blood transfusion, CVD, elevated D-dimer, DM, hypertension, immobility, LD, obesity, PAD, PTE, and steroid use.

Development of Risk Prediction Model for Muscular Calf Vein Thrombosis with Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Int J Gen Med 2022; 15:6549-6560. [PMID: 35974801 PMCID: PMC9375990 DOI: 10.2147/ijgm.s374777] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2022] [Accepted: 07/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose This study aims to establish a risk prediction model for muscular calf vein thrombosis (MCVT) in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Methods The research sample consisted of 248 patients with AECOPD and all of them underwent vascular ultrasounds of both lower limbs in this retrospective study. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were conducted on factors with significant group differences to screen for the independent risk factors of MCVT. A nomogram to predict the risk of MCVT was constructed and validated with bootstrap resampling. Results According to the exclusion criteria, 240 patients were included for analysis, divided into the MCVT group (n = 81) and the non-MCVT group (n = 159). Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that hypertension, elevated MPV, reduced albumin (ALB), elevated D-dimer and bed rest ≥3 days were independent risk factors for MCVT in AECOPD. A nomogram model for predicting AECOPD with MCVT was established based on them. The area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for the prediction model and the simplified Wells score was 0.784 (95% CI: 0.722–0.847) and 0.659 (95% CI: 0.583–0.735), respectively. The cut-off value and Youden index of prediction model were 0.248 and 0.454, respectively. At the same time, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the prediction model were 85.9%, 59.5%, 84.6%, and 77.4%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of the simplified Wells score were 67.9% and 56.3%, respectively. Validation by the use of bootstrap resampling revealed optimal discrimination and calibration, and the decision analysis curve (DAC) suggested that this prediction model involved high clinical practicability. Conclusion We developed a nomogram that can predict the risk of MCVT for AECOPD patients. This model has the potential to assist clinicians in making treatment recommendations and formulating corresponding prevention measures.

Polysaccharide, the Active Component of Dendrobium officinale, Ameliorates Metabolic Hypertension in Rats via Regulating Intestinal Flora-SCFAs-Vascular Axis. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:935714.

Abstract
Metabolic hypertension (MH) is the most common type of hypertension worldwide because of unhealthy lifestyles, such as excessive alcohol intake and high-sugar/high-fat diets (ACHSFDs), adopted by humans. Poor diets lead to a decrease in the synthesis of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which are produced by intestinal flora and transferred by G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), resulting in impaired gastrointestinal function, disrupted metabolic processes, increased blood pressure (BP), and ultimately, MH. It is not clear whether Dendrobium officinale polysaccharide (DOPS) can mediate its effects by triggering the SCFAs-GPCR43/41 pathway. In this study, DOPS, with a content of 54.45 ± 4.23% and composition of mannose, glucose, and galacturonic acid at mass percentages of 61.28, 31.87, and 2.53%, was isolated from Dendrobium officinale. It was observed that DOPS, given to rats by intragastric administration after dissolution, could lower the BP and improve the abnormal lipid metabolic processes in ACHSFD-induced MH rats. Moreover, DOPS was found to increase the production, transportation, and utilization of SCFAs, while improving the intestinal flora and strengthening the intestinal barrier, as well as increasing the intestinal levels of SCFAs and the expression of GPCR43/41. Furthermore, DOPS improved vascular endothelial function by increasing the expression of GPCR41 and endothelial nitric oxide synthase in the aorta and the nitric oxide level in the serum. However, these effects were all reversed by antibiotic use. These findings indicate that DOPS is the active component of Dendrobium officinale, and it can reverse MH in rats by activating the intestinal SCFAs-GPCR43/41 pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral hemorrhage secondary to cerebral embolism after mechanical thrombectomy is characterized by high morbidity, disability and mortality. If the patient also has severe pulmonary embolism (PE) at the same time, the treatment becomes more complex. This report describes the treatment strategy for a patient with PE and cerebral hemorrhage secondary to cerebral embolism after mechanical thrombectomy.
CASE SUMMARY A 70-year-old woman presented to our emergency department with right-sided hemiplegia and mixed aphasia of 2.5 h duration. She was diagnosed with left cerebral embolism, left internal carotid artery occlusion, PE and left calf intramuscular vein thrombosis. Following mechanical thrombectomy, brain magnetic resonance imaging showed cerebral infarction with basal ganglia hemorrhage. We observed changes in cerebral hemorrhage on serial monitoring of brain computed tomography and adjusted the dose of anticoagulant drugs. After 3 wk of treatment, the patient’s neurological and respiratory symptoms significantly improved, and a favorable prognosis was obtained.
CONCLUSION Anticoagulation could be a potential option for PE accompanied by hemorrhagic transformation of an ischemic infarct.

Effect of an Elevated Preoperative International Normalized Ratio on Transfusion and Complications in Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty with the Enhanced Recovery after Surgery Protocol. Orthop Surg 2021; 14:18-26. [PMID: 34825494 PMCID: PMC8755872 DOI: 10.1111/os.13176] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2021] [Revised: 10/16/2021] [Accepted: 10/20/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective To verify whether an elevated preoperative international normalized ratio (INR) increases transfusion and complications independently in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) with the management of an enhanced recovery after surgery (EARS) protocol. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the database of adults who underwent primary THA between 2014 and 2018 by the same surgeon. A total of 552 patients were assigned into three groups by preoperative INR class: INR ≤ 0.9, 0.9 < INR < 1.0, and INR ≥ 1.0. We regarded transfusion within 90 days during the same hospitalization as the primary outcome. We also included perioperative blood loss, maximum Hb drop, postoperative anaemia requiring medicine, and length of hospital stay (LOS) during the same hospitalization in the study. Complications and reoperation at 90 days and mortality at 90 days and 12 months were also included in the study. Univariable analyses were utilized to compare baselines and outcomes among the three groups. Multivariate logistic regressions were used to adjust for differences at baseline among the groups. Results All patients had an INR < 1.5 preoperatively and were managed with the ERAS protocol. Among them, 93 (16.8%) patients had INR ≤ 0.9, 268 (48.6%) patients had 0.9 < INR < 1.0, and 191 (34.6%) patients had INR ≥ 1.0. In the univariable analyses, as the INR increased, the transfusion rates increased from 1.08% for INR ≤ 0.9, to 1.12% for 0.9 < INR < 1.0 and to 5.76% for INR ≥ 1.0 (P < 0.05). The overall complication rate increased from 10.8% for INR ≤ 0.9, to 16.4% for 0.9 < INR < 1.0, and to 22.5% for INR ≥ 1.0 (P < 0.05). The length of stay (LOS) in the INR ≥ 1.0 group was 5.7 ± 2.2 days, which was significantly longer than that in the INR ≤ 0.9 group (4.7 ± 1.6 days, P = 0.000) and 0.9 < INR < 1.0 group (5.1 ± 2.0 days, P = 0.007). No statistical significance was detected among the groups regarding blood loss, maximum Hb drop, or the incidence of postoperative anaemia that required medicine. There was no significant difference in reoperation or mortality among the groups. When controlling for demographic and comorbidity characteristics, there was no statistically significant difference in the odds of transfusion during the same hospitalization or overall complications at 90 days among the groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions Elevated preoperative INR cannot increase transfusion or complication rates independently in primary THA with the management of the ERAS protocol. With the improvement in the ERAS protocol and the use of tranexamic acid (TXA), an INR < 1.5 is still a conventional safe threshold for THA surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this prospective study was to investigate the pre-operative incidence of and risk factors for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in geriatric intertrochanteric fractures to help facilitate the peri-operative management of them. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data of 1515 geriatric intertrochanteric fracture patients were extracted from a prospective intertrochanteric fractures database according to the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria. The demographics, fracture characteristics, and pre-operative laboratory indicators of patients were evaluated statistically. RESULTS The incidence of pre-operative DVT was 10.2% (155 in 1360 patients) in the present study. The rates of proximal DVT, distal DVT, and mixed DVT were 18.1% (28 patients), 56.8% (88 patients), and 25.2% (39 patients), respectively. The percentages of DVT developing in the affected limb, uninjured limb, and bilateral limbs were 74.2% (115 in 55 patients), 16.8% (26 in 155 patients), and 9% (14 in 155 patients), respectively. After the multivariable analysis, the time from injury to surgery (TIS) > 4 days [odds ratio (OR) = 1.870, p = 0.001], the number of comorbidities > 2 (OR = 2.124, p = 0.014), and albumin (ALB) < 35 g/L (OR = 1.516, p = 0.043), etc. were significantly associated with the development of preoperative DVT in geriatric intertrochanteric fracture patients. CONCLUSIONS Although routine anticoagulant therapy was used to prevent the formation of DVT, the incidence of which was still high. Therefore, pre-operative ultrasound of both lower extremities was advised for pre-operatively, especially for patients with delayed surgery, hypoproteinemia, three or more comorbidities, and a D-dimer level > 1.59 mg/L.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the incidence of and risk factors for postoperative new-onset deep venous thrombosis (PNO-DVT) following intertrochanteric fracture surgery. Information on 1672 patients who underwent intertrochanteric fracture surgery at our hospital between January 2016 and December 2019 was extracted from a prospective hip fracture database. Demographic information, surgical data, and preoperative laboratory indices were analysed. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, univariate analyses and binary logistic regression analyses were performed. The incidences of postoperative deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and PNO-DVT in inpatients after intertrochanteric fracture surgery were 11.5% (202 of 1751 patients) and 7.4% (123 of 1672 patients), respectively. PNO-DVT accounted for 60.9% of postoperative DVT. Additionally, there were 20 cases of central thrombosis (16.3%), 82 cases of peripheral thrombosis (66.7%), and 21 cases of mixed thrombosis (17.1%). In addition, 82.1% of PNO-DVTs were diagnosed within 8 days after surgery. The multivariate analysis revealed that age > 70 years, duration of surgery (> 197 min), type of anaesthesia (general), and comorbidities (≥ 3) were independent risk factors for the development of PNO-DVT after intertrochanteric fracture surgery. This study demonstrated a high incidence of PNO-DVT in inpatients after intertrochanteric fracture surgery. Therefore, postoperative examination for DVT should be routinely conducted for patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of proximal femoral replacements (PFR) has been recently described for catastrophic internal fixation failures. PFR is an attractive treatment option because it is technically straightforward and allows for immediate mobilization of the patient. The aim of the study was to determine the survivorship, functional outcome and complications' rate in a group of elderly patients who underwent proximal femoral replacement as a salvage treatment after femur cephalomedullary nails' mechanical failures. METHODS We evaluated 21 patients who underwent salvage of a failed cephalomedullary nail by using a single design PFR at our institution between 2014-2017. A cemented stem was used in all cases. Radiographs were assessed for fractures, sign of loosening, presence of heterotopic ossification and leg length discrepancy. Functional evaluation was performed through Harris Hip Score (HHS), FIM™ and Time Up and Go test (TUG). Kaplan-Meier estimator was used to determine the overall implants' survival. RESULTS The average age at the time of surgery was 83years. The mean follow-up was 3.1years. We recorded 3 dislocations of which 2 required a revision. No case of septic or aseptic failure was reported. Two patients died respectively at 11 and 14 months after surgery. At the last follow-up the mean HHS, FIM™, and the TUG improved significantly (p<0.05). CONCLUSION Immediate weight bearing, good functional outcomes, low complications' and one-year mortality rate make the proximal femur replacement with megaprostheses a potential first line treatment of intertrochanteric/subtrochanteric fixations' failures among elderly, osteoporotic, frail patients. Dislocation is the most common complication to bear in mind within the first six months after surgery.

Abstract
Objective To retrospectively analyze the clinical outcomes of two intramedullary
fixation devices, the INTERTAN nail and Gamma3 nail, for treatment of AO/OTA
31-A2 trochanteric fractures in elderly patients. Methods In total, 165 elderly patients underwent treatment for AO/OTA 31-A2
trochanteric fractures in our hospital from June 2017 to June 2018 (INTERTAN
group, n = 79; Gamma3 group, n = 86). All patients underwent radiological
and clinical investigations and were followed up for an average of 12
months. Age, sex, fracture type, surgical time, intraoperative blood loss,
fracture healing time, and complications were compared between the two
groups. Results The surgical time was significantly shorter and the intraoperative blood loss
volume was significantly lower in the Gamma3 than INTERTAN group (58.2 ± 2.5
vs. 81.7 ± 14.2 minutes and 170 ± 29 vs. 220 ± 16 mL, respectively).
However, there were no significant differences in the reduction quality,
hospital stay, fracture healing time, Harris hip score, postoperative
complications, or 1-year postoperative mortality. Conclusion Both INTERTAN and Gamma3 nails may be effective for surgical treatment of
AO/OTA 31-A2 trochanteric fractures in elderly patients. However, the Gamma3
nail was superior to the INTERTAN nail in terms of surgical time and
intraoperative blood loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Among the causes of mortality in patients with lower extremity fracture following surgery, lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a leading one. To lower the morbidity and mortality, early screening and preventive anticoagulation therapy are essential in clinical study. Common screening methods, including risk prediction tools, imaging tests and D-dimer test, had various drawbacks. The study aimed to establish a new method, that is, D-dimer combined with Risk Assessment and Predictor Tool (RAPT) score, for screening the lower extremity DVT among patients with lower extremity fracture and evaluate its clinical value. MATERIALS AND METHODS The RAPT score, plasma D-dimer and lower extremity venous ultrasonography examination reports were collected from Department of Emergency Surgery & Orthopaedic Surgery from July 2019 to December 2019, and the data were analyzed retrospectively. Regarding the lower extremity venous ultrasonography examination report as the "gold standard" to determine whether DVT exists, the sensitivity, specificity and area under the curve (AUC) of RAPT score alone, plasma D-dimer alone and combination of them in screening lower extremity DVT were analyzed and evaluated. RESULTS 197 patients were enrolled in the study. There were significant differences in D-dimer level and RAPT score between DVT group and non-DVT group (P < 0.01). The sensitivity, specificity and AUC of RAPT score and D-dimer in screening lower extremity DVT were 78.12%, 56.44%, 0.723 and 97.71%, 25.74%, 0.803, respectively. The optimal diagnostic value of D-dimer decided by Youden's index was 1.125 μg/ml. The sensitivity and specificity of the method by combining RAPT score with this new D-dimer threshold were 96.88% and 42.57%, respectively, and AUC was 0.812. CONCLUSION Higher diagnostic accuracy could be achieved by combining RAPT score with new D-dimer threshold. This novel diagnostic method is potential in the clinical diagnosis of DVT among orthopedic trauma patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE The actual incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in femoral neck fractures is underestimated. This study aimed to investigate the incidence of DVT in the lower extremities after femoral neck fracture before and after operation. METHODS The clinical data of patients with femoral neck fractures treated at Xi'an Honghui Hospital between July 1, 2016, and December 31, 2018, were collected. The patients were examined with ultrasonography before and after operation and divided into thrombosis and non-thrombosis groups according to their ultrasonographic results. The incidence of DVT was reported as a percentage. RESULTS The incidence rates of preoperative and postoperative DVT were 32% and 56%, respectively. DVT on the uninjured side constituted 45% of all preoperative DVT and 43% of all postoperative DVT. Peripheral DVT constituted 90% and 84% of all preoperative and postoperative DVT, respectively. Diabetes was an independent risk factor of preoperative DVT. Blood loss was an independent risk factor of postoperative DVT, and open reduction and internal fixation surgical procedure was independent protective factor of postoperative DVT as compared with hemiarthroplasty and total hip replacement. CONCLUSIONS The incidence rates of preoperative and postoperative DVT in the patients with femoral neck fracture were high, and orthopedists should pay more attention to DVT as a complication.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the incidences of pre- and post-operative lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in hospitalized patients with intertrochanteric fractures and to analyze the relevant risk factors. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted between July 2014 and October 2016 in 218 intertrochanteric fracture patients who presented at Xi'an Honghui Hospital and underwent Doppler ultrasonography for DVT diagnosis. We divided DVT into distal, proximal, and mixed thrombosis. Patients were divided into either the thrombosis or no thrombosis group according to preoperative and postoperative ultrasonography results. All patients were evaluated for the risk factors associated with thrombosis. RESULTS A total of 37.61% of preoperative patients had DVT, and the postoperative incidence increased to 58.72%. The days between fracture and hospitalization and the days between fracture and surgery were independent risk factors for preoperative DVT. The days between fracture and hospitalization and d-dimer levels at postoperative 1 day were independent risk factors of postoperative DVT. In total 23.4% of the patients progressed from having no thrombosis preoperatively to having distal, proximal, or mixed DVT postoperatively (22.02%, 0.46%, and 0.92%, respectively). Distal DVT constituted 86.59% and 90.63% of all preoperative and postoperative DVTs, respectively. CONCLUSION Intertrochanteric fracture is a common type of hip fracture in the elderly, and the incidence of DVT after intertrochanteric fracture may be underestimated. Early intervention (early admission and early surgery) might reduce the incidence of DVT.

Abstract
Background Hip fractures usually occur in old aged patients with osteoporotic bone. Management of hip fractures in old aged patient is aimed to ambulate patient immediately and to restore the pre-operative ambulation. Proximal femur replacement is an effective treatment option in elderly patient with osteoporotic bones. It allow immediate weight bearing and early return to preoperative ambulatory status and minimizes the chances of systemic complication associated with prolong bed rest associated with internal fixation. This study is aimed to review the outcome of the patients whom underwent proximal femur replacement as primary treatment for the patient with comminuted intertrochanteric and sub trochanteric fracture. Patients and method This is a study conducted in our university hospital which is a tertiary-care level-1 trauma center. A retrospective analysis of 21 patients who underwent proximal femur replacement for comminuted intertrochanteric and sub trochanteric fracture, age more than 60 years during the period from April 2011 to March 2018 was conducted. Data collected included: age, gender, comorbidities, mechanism of injury, type of fracture, functional outcome (calculated via Harris Hip Score) and one year mortality. Results The mean age of the patients was 74.05(range 64-91) years, out of which 13 (61.8%) were female and 8 (38.0%) were male. The mean follow up was 32.6(8-91 months).Immediate post-operative ambulation status was full weight bearing (FWB) in 17 patients (80.9%) of the patients while three patients (19.0%) had non-weight bearing (NWB) due to associated co-morbidities. The mean preoperative Harris Hip score was 68.0, while the mean postoperative Harris Hip score was 66.5 at last follow up. Post operatively one patient (4.7%) developed pulmonary embolism, one patient developed dislocation. One patent (4.7%) died of sepsis from implant infection at 8 months after surgery. Conclusion Primary Proximal femoral replacement in a viable option in old aged patients with poor bone quality who developed intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fracture. According to our study, with mortality rate comparable to that of primary fixation, yet with the added advantage of immediate post op ambulation and reduced incidences of decubitus ulcers, atelectasis and DVT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate risk factors for perioperative death in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture. METHODS Clinical data from 1051 cases with intertrochanteric fracture from March 2005 to March 2015 were reviewed and analyzed, and causes of death during the perioperative period were statistically analyzed. Various indicators were compared by t test and χ2 test. Multivariate analysis was performed using non-conditional logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Chronic diseases of major organs (heart, brain, and lung), postoperative complications, and various indicators within 24 h after admission (albumin, hemoglobin, brain natriuretic peptide [BNP], glucose, creatinine, arterial blood pH, PaO2, and APACHE II) were statistically significantly different between patients who survived and those who died. Logistic regression analysis indicated that postoperative complications, APACHE II score, BNP, and chronic diseases of major organs were the risk factors for perioperative mortality in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture. CONCLUSION BNP and APACHE II score could be used as important reference indexes for predicting possible perioperative mortality in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture and chronic diseases of major organs. Complications after fracture may be also risk factors.
