Abstract
Aim:Femoral neck fractures (FNF) occur in the intracapsular region of the proximal femur. The incidence of fractures in the proximal femur increases with age. FNF's cause high mortality and morbidity. Malnutrition is also one of the problems of these patients. In this study, it was aimed to reveal the importance of necessary nutritional follow-up in patients hospitalized in our hospital for FNF.
Methods:XXXX Health Sciences University XXXXX Training and Research Hospital data of hospitalized patients with a diagnosis of FNF between 2017-2018 were retrospectively scanned from the patient file and the hospital automation system. 229 patients with a diagnosis of FNF were included in the study. Hospitalization diagnosis, age and gender, albumin, C-reactive protein (crp), and lymphocyte values of the patients were measured. The nutritional risk score (NRS-2002) made for each patient in the automation system of our hospital was checked. For nutritional support, it was checked whether a consultation was requested from the nutrition support team (NST).
Results:The mean age of the patients included in the study was found to be 74 years. 79.3% were over 65 years old, while 20.97% were under 65. Albumin, lymphocyte and CRP values of the patients were examined and found that 65.1% albumin, 24.5% lymphocyte and 88.2% CRP values outside the normal range. There was a statistically significant negative correlation of 41% between the patients' albumin and age variable. (p
