Journal of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons Apr 17, 2020
Galivanche AR, Kebaish KJ, Adrados M, et al. - The present study was conducted to ascertain the factors predictive of postoperative pressure ulcer development by examining extensive multicenter outcomes data from the 2016 American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database. Researchers applied the 2016 NSQIP Participant Use File and Hip Fracture Procedure Targeted file to distinguish the risk factors for the development of postoperative pressure ulcers after hip fracture surgery in a geriatric cohort. They conducted multivariate regressions to distinguish preoperative comorbidities and postoperative complications that are risk factors for developing postoperative pressure ulcers. The study population consisted of a total of 8,871 geriatric hip fracture patients. The results of this study demonstrated that distinguished preoperative factors and postoperative complications should help guide quality improvement programs.
