Deep infection

upin humans1

1 study

  1. Open fracture is associated with deep infection in humans (14.8% vs. 3.9%; P = 0.019).

    “There were higher rates of 1-year mortality (11% vs. 0%; P < 0.001), deep infection (14.8% vs. 3.9%; P = 0.019), and loss of mobility (64.7% vs. 23.0%; P < 0.001) in the open cohort.”

  1. Open fracture predicts 90-day reoperation in humans (OR: 20.6, P = 0.022).

    “Multivariate regression identified open fracture as an independent predictor of 90-day reoperation (OR: 20.6; P = 0.022) and loss of mobility (OR: 5.1; P = 0.011).”
