Abstract :
To validate Serum proteins and Quetelet’s index as
predictors of postoperative complications in elective
major surgeries in Tertiary care centre.
Objective:
By using serum proteins to predict the postoperative
complications in elective major surgeries.
By calculating the Quetelet’s index/ BMI to predict
the postoperative outcomes in elective major
surgeries.
To assess the postoperative complications due to
decrease in serum proteins and above and below
average range of BMI
Methodology:
From December 2019 to December 2021, this
prospective observational study was carried out at the
government Villupuram medical college's department
of general surgery. Total 100 patients were included in
the study. The study includes all patients above the age
of 12 and those who have been admitted for any major
elective surgery through the department of surgery.
Children younger than 12 years old, patients with
diabetes mellitus, chronic renal illness, icterus, severe
anaemia less than 7 gm/dl, chronic liver disease, and
patients receiving steroids or chemotherapy are all
disqualified from participating in the study. On
admission, the eligible adult patients will undergo
screening for enrolment in the trial. Case details,
including the history and clinical examination, were
recorded. Anthropometry: Measurements of height and
weight. Serum proteins (Albumin and Globulin) were
estimated during the investigation. Case details,
including the history and clinical examination, were
recorded. Follow up was done and discharged from the
hospital. The collected information was analysed by
using SPSS 23.
Results:
100 patients in total were enrolled. There were 28
women and 72 men among these patients. Most
incidents affected people between the ages of 40 and
59 (35 percent). Out of 100 cases, 13 were determined to
be cancerous. Complications were present in 38 out of
100 patients.Among the 38 cases with complication, 28
were male and 10 were female. Most instances have
BMIs that are within the normal range. But
complications are more common in the overweight
population. The majority of the individuals with serum
albumin levels between 2.5 and 3.0 g/dl had
complications (25 cases).
Conclusion:
Many other preoperative patient parameters fall
short when compared to serum albumin concentration
in terms of predicting surgical outcomes. This
affordable test should be used more frequently to
identify malnutrition and the possibility of adverse
surgical outcomes.
