Abstract
BackgroundThis study aims to discern the significance of common hematological and biochemical parameters for predicting urinary tract infections in geriatric patients with hip fractures.MethodsMultivariable logistic regression and propensity score-matched analyses were conducted to calculate adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for UTIs. The abilities of these parameters to predict UTIs were evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Dose–response relationships were assessed by categorizing hematological and biochemical parameters into quartiles. Subgroup analyses were further explored to investigate the relationship between these parameters and urinary tract infections.ResultsOut of the 1,231 participants, 23.2% were diagnosed with UTIs. Hyperglycemia, hypoproteinemia and hyperglobulinemia were risk factors for UTIs in multivariate analysis. After propensity score matching, hyperglycemia (OR 2.14, 95% CI 1.50–3.05, p
