Influencia de los parámetros nutricionalesen cirugía de cadera
1997
A prospective observation was conducted with the hypothesis that the nutritional
situation has influence in postoperative development of hip surgery [n = 100; age 76 years
(55-95)]. A nutritional evaluation was performed before surgery through the evolution of height,
body weight, skin fold and braquial and muscular circunference. Serie proteins and lymphocytes
levels were measured during hospital admission, in postoperative and each seven days. A 51% of patients
showed protein-energy malnutrition (PEM). Transfusional haematic requirements were 600 c c .
in malnutrition patients and 350 c.c. in the rest (p < 0.05). Complications appeared in PEM patients
in 73% cases. The hospital stay was longer in those patients who presented PEM upon admittance
(p < 0.01). Postoperatively, the prealbumin was the protein whose serie level had faster changes.
