Risk factors for perioperative complications in orthopedic aged patients
Objective To investigate the risk factors of perioperative complications in elderly patients in orthopedic department. Methods A total of 1 024 aged patients receiving orthopedic surgery in our department from January 2008 to August 2012 were enrolled and retrospectively analyzed in this study. They were 388 males and 636 females
with an age ranging from 60 to 96 years old
mean 72.82±8.37. There were 436 cases of joint replacement
229 cases of fracture surgery
158 cases of spinal surgery
112 cases of operation of bone and soft tissue in
fection
and 89 cases of other surgeries. Their clinical data
complications
preoperative
intra-operative and perioperative variables were analyzed. Binary-Logistic regression analysis was carried out to identify the risk factors for incidence of preoperative complications. Results There were 214 cases found having perioperative complications during hospitalization (20.9%). After adjustment for multiple risk factors
the risk factors for perioperative complications were hypertension
cerebrovascular diseases
heart functional class Ⅱ or above
increased heart rate
