Abstract
Aim: Some studies suggest that, preoperative albumin levels are associated with delayed postoperative recovery and increased morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing elective surgery. Advance age also appears to be associated with postoperative outcomes.Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, we assessed the effects of albumin concentrations on recovery, length of hospitalization and patient's status at discharge time, in 40 geriatric patients who underwent emergent abdominal surgery under general anaesthesia. Patients were divided into two groups based on preoperative albumin concentrations Group I albumin >3.5 g dL-1; (n=20) or Group II albumin 0 05). Hypoalbuminemic patients were more likely to have delayed wound healing and more likely die.Conclusion: We conclude that hypoalbuminemia may be marker of morbiditiy and mortality in elderly patients undergoing emergent abdominal surgery.
Özet
Amaç: Bazı çalışmalar elektif cerrahi öncesi albumin düzeyinin postoperatif derlenme, morbidite ve mortaliteyi etkilediğini bildirmektedir. İleri yaş, postoperatif dönemde daha da önem kazanmaktadır. Bu retrospektif çalışmada geriyatrik yaş grubundan, genel anestezi altında acil cerrahi geçirmiş 40 olgunun preoperatif albumin düzeyinin derlenme, postoperatif hastanede yatış süresi ve taburcu edilme koşulları üzerine etkilerini araştırdık.Gereç ve Yöntem: Preoperatif albumin düzeyine göre hastalar Grup I, albumin > 3.5 g dL-1 (n=20), Grup II, albumin 0 05). Hipoalbuminemik hastalar da yara iyileşmesi ve ölüm daha fazla idi.Sonuç: Acil abdominal cerrahi geçirecek yaşlı olgularda hipoalbuminemi mortalite ve morbiditeye etki eden önemli bir belirteç olabilir.
