Abstract
Objective
This study investigated the association between admission neutrophil count and the risk of preoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in older patients with hip fractures.
Methods
We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients aged ≥65 years with hip fractures between January 2015 and September 2019. The primary outcome was the presence of preoperative DVT diagnosed by color Doppler ultrasonography. We used multivariable logistic regression models to assess the association. We examined nonlinearity using smooth curve fitting and threshold effect analysis.
