Controlling Nutritional Status as a Superior Predictor of Fixation Failure in Intertrochanteric Fractures: Development and Validation of a Multicentre Nomogram

China1,296 participantsStarted 2020-01-01

Plain-language summary

A multicentre retrospective cohort study was conducted within the Department of Orthopaedics at the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University. This study reviewed 1,296 patients who underwent internal fixation treatment with ITF at the institution between 2020 and 2024. This study employed three distinct nutritional assessment tools for preoperative nutritional evaluation: CONUT, PNI, and NPS. By comparing the prevalence of malnutrition across these three scales and their relationship with FIF-ITF, an optimal predictive model combining INST with clinical factors was established.
