Abstract

To investigate the relationship between admission blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels and postoperative length of stay (LOS) in hip fracture (HF) patients. This retrospective study retrieved related data from the MIMIC-IV database, of which the laboratory variables were taken preoperatively. The patients were divided into 4 groups according to the BUN quartile levels. After exploring the nonlinear relationship between BUN and LOS by generalized additive model, their connection was further analyzed using the generalized linear models, quantile regression models, and interaction analysis. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and decision curve analysis were performed to evaluate its value in predicting first intensive care unit admission and in-hospital mortality. Totally 1274 patients with HF were enrolled in the study. There was a nonlinear relationship between BUN and LOS (P < .05). Besides, BUN was an independent predictor for LOS after adjusting different covariates in 3 models (P < .05). Age served as a significant interactor in this relationship (P < .05). Moreover, receiver operating characteristic curve and decision curve analysis revealed the predictive value of BUN for intensive care unit admission and in-hospital mortality in HF. Admission BUN level as a cost-effective and easy-to-collect biomarker is significantly related to LOS in patients with HF. It helps clinicians to identify potential high-risk populations and take effective preventions before surgery to reduce postoperative LOS.
