IMPACT OF STRESS RELATED HYPERGLYCEMIA ON THE RECOVERY OF PATIENT WITH FEMORAL NECK FRACTURE

Summary: The growing epidemic of type 2 diabetes and the preceding metabolic conditions play an important role in the perioperative period in trauma patients. Aim: The aim of this research is to follow-up patients with stress related hyperglycemia and femoral neck fracture and to propose effective strategies for optimization of medical and health care. Materials and methods: The methods employed in the study were analyses of medical documentation and para clinical studies. Retrospective research was performed in the period of September 2023 - January 2024, based on clinical data of twenty patients (n=20) with fractures of coli femoris and stress-related hyperglycemia, before and after surgical intervention for the fracture at the Clinic of Orthopedics and Traumatology in the General Hospital for Active Treatment “St. Anna” - Varna. Conclusion and Results: The study clearly demonstrates the significant impact of stress-related hyperglycemia on patients with femoral neck fracture, particularly those with pre-diabetic conditions and undiagnosed type 2 diabetes. The implementation of these strategies has the potential to improve the clinical outcomes and quality of life for patients by reducing the risk of complications and the length of hospital stay.
