Association between preoperative persistent hyperglycemia and postoperative length of hospital in geriatric hip fracture patients
Preoperative blood glucose levels are significantly associated with prolonged LOS in elderly hip fracture patients, showing a nonlinear dose-response relationship. Each 1 mmol/L increase in glucose raises LOS risk by 12%, with stronger correlations in females and diabetics. Timely intervention is critical above 6.16 mmol/L.
