Exploring the role of systemic inflammation in guiding clinical decision making for geriatric patients with a hip fracture
Neutrophil categories offer a feasible method to assess systemic inflammation and may assist in shared decision-making for palliative care. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that patients in category 0-1 are deemed fit for surgery, when other risk factors are absent. However, further research should investigate the quality-of-life of patients still alive after 30 days in order to determine whether immune profiling is of added clinical value in decision making regarding traumatic hip fractures in geriatric patients.
