Abstract Background The incidence of adverse perioperative outcomes in surgery for femoral fractures is quite high and is associated with malnutrition. This study aimed to identify independent factors and assess the predictive value of the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) for perioperative adverse outcomes in patients with femoral fractures. Methods This retrospective study included 343 patients who underwent surgery for a single femur fracture. Demographic characteristics, surgery and anaesthesia records, and blood test results at admission, 1 day postoperatively, and before discharge were evaluated using logistic regression analysis. The discriminatory ability of the independent factors was assessed using the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, and DeLong's test was used to compare the area under the curve (AUC). Results Overall, 159 patients (46.4%) experienced adverse perioperative outcomes. Among these, 123 (35.9%) had lower limb vein thrombus, 68 (19.8%) had hospital-acquired pneumonia, 6 (1.7%) were transferred to the postoperative intensive care unit, 4 (1.2%) had pulmonary embolism, 3 (0.9%) died during hospitalisation, and 9 (2.6%) had other adverse outcomes, including incision disunion, renal and liver function impairment, acute heart failure, acute cerebral infarction, and stress gastroenteritis. The PNI at admission, age, postoperative hospital stay, time to admission, hypertension, combined injures, and surgery type were independent factors for adverse perioperative outcomes. Based on the AUC (PNI at admission: 0.772 (0.723–0.821), P < 0.001; age: 0.678 (0.622–0.734), P < 0.001; postoperative hospital stay: 0.608 (0.548–0.668), P = 0.001; time to admission: 0.585 (0.525–0.646), P = 0.006), the PNI at admission had optimal discrimination ability, indicating its superiority over other independent factors (age vs. PNI at admission, P = 0.002; postoperative hospital stay vs. PNI at admission, P < 0.001; time to admission vs. PNI at admission, P < 0.001). Conclusions Nutritional assessment and appropriate intervention strategies on admission are necessary for patients with femoral fractures, and the PNI at admission may be a good nutritional assessment indicator.

Abstract Background: With the rapid development of surgical technics and instruments, more and more bladder cancer patients are being treated by laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) and robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) .The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the perioperative and long-term outcomes of patients who underwent cystectomy by these two surgical approaches. Methods: We performed a retrospective review of the prospectively collected database of our hospital to identify patients with clinical stage Ta/T1/Tis to T3 who underwent RARC and LRC. Perioperative outcomes, recurrence, and overall survival (OS) were analyzed. Results: From March 2010 to December 2019, there were total of 218 patients, which including 82(38%) patients with LRC and 136(62%) patients with RARC. No perioperative death was observed in both groups. Tumor recurrence, death from any causes, and cancer-specific death occurred in 77, 55, and 39 patients respectively. The 5-year DFS, OS, and CSS rates for all included patients were 55.4%, 62.4%, and 66.4%, respectively. There were no significantly statistically differences between the RARC group and the LRC group for number of lymph nodes harvested, positive lymph node rate, positive margin rate and postoperative pathological stage (all P>0.05). Patients undergoing RARC had lower median estimated blood loss (180mL vs. 250 mL; P 0.015) and 90-days postoperative complications (30.8% vs. 46.3%; P 0.013) than LRC.Conclusions: For selected patients with RARC and LRC, both were safe and effective with a low complication rate and similar long-term outcome compared two groups. Moreover, the robotic approach resulted in lower median estimated blood loss and better outcome in postoperative complications.
