Abstract
Objective: To assess lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) risk factors after artificial femoral head replacement for elderly femoral neck fractures. A nomogram model was constructed to predict its risk.
Methods: In analyzing 144 participants who underwent artificial femoral head replacement for elderly femoral neck fractures, researchers collected clinical data to identify factors associated with lower extremity DVT. The study collected numerous variables ranging from age and sex to history of lower extremity DVT and use of anticoagulant drugs after surgery. The patients were in two groups: those who developed DVT (n = 62) and those who did not (n = 82). Multivariate logistic regression analysis helped to identify factors influencing the occurrence of DVT after artificial femoral head replacement. The software packages used were R 4.1.0 and RMS.
Results: Univariate and multivariate regression analysis identified age, ASA level, D-dimer of lower limb DVT, ALB, and PLT as predictive risk factors of lower extremity DVT after artificial femoral head replacement for elderly femoral neck fractures. Those risk factors were used to construct a clinical predictive nomogram. The calibration curves for hypertension in patients with OSAHS risk revealed excellent accuracy of the predictive nomogram model. The unadjusted concordance index (C-index) for the model was 0.877 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.805-0.942]. The AUC was 0.8375002. Decision curve analysis showed that the predictive model could be applied clinically when the threshold probability was 20 to 80%.
Conclusions: The researchers constructed and validated a clinical nomogram to predict the occurrence of lower extremity DVT after artificial femoral head replacement in elderly patients with femoral neck fractures. Age, ASA level, D-dimer, and history of lower limb DVT, ALB, and PLT were demonstrated to be predictive risk factors of lower extremity DVT in this circumstance. This practical prognostic nomogram may help improve clinical decision-making.
期刊介绍:
Launched in 1995, Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine has a mission to promote the art and science of integrative medicine and a responsibility to improve public health. We strive to maintain the highest standards of ethical medical journalism independent of special interests that is timely, accurate, and a pleasure to read. We publish original, peer-reviewed scientific articles that provide health care providers with continuing education to promote health, prevent illness, and treat disease. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine was the first journal in this field to be indexed in the National Library of Medicine. In 2006, 2007, and 2008, ATHM had the highest impact factor ranking of any independently published peer-reviewed CAM journal in the United States—meaning that its research articles were cited more frequently than any other journal’s in the field.
Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine does not endorse any particular system or method but promotes the evaluation and appropriate use of all effective therapeutic approaches. Each issue contains a variety of disciplined inquiry methods, from case reports to original scientific research to systematic reviews. The editors encourage the integration of evidence-based emerging therapies with conventional medical practices by licensed health care providers in a way that promotes a comprehensive approach to health care that is focused on wellness, prevention, and healing. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine hopes to inform all licensed health care practitioners about developments in fields other than their own and to foster an ongoing debate about the scientific, clinical, historical, legal, political, and cultural issues that affect all of health care.
