The aim of the study was to examine the serum albumin levels of patients admitted with hip fractures to see whether there was any relationship between serum albumin and subsequent mortality.
A group of 39 consecutive patients with hip fractures was followed for a period of 12 months. The serum albumin was determined preoperatively. No patient was lost to follow up.
Ten patients died at 12 months. Those who died had a significantly lower serum albumin level than those alive at the end of the follow up period.
The results of this study show that preoperative serum albumin determination in patients with hip fractures is a useful guide to postfracture mortality.
本研究旨在检测髋部骨折入院患者的血清白蛋白水平，以观察血清白蛋白与随后死亡率之间是否存在任何关联。
连续选取39例髋部骨折患者，随访12个月。术前测定血清白蛋白水平。无患者失访。
12个月时10例患者死亡。死亡患者的血清白蛋白水平显著低于随访期末存活患者。
本研究结果表明，髋部骨折患者术前测定血清白蛋白水平对骨折后死亡率有一定的指导作用。
