The relationship between albumin levels with outcome of patients with abdominal and chest trauma

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigation of the relationship between albumin levels with outcome of patients with abdominal and chest trauma. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 111 patients in year 97 were equal to Patients with chest trauma and patients with abdominal trauma that they referred to Imam Reza Hospital in Tabriz was examined. The sampling method for this design was readily available. Immediately after the patient's admission to the emergency department, a blood sample and a biography (from the patient himself or her companion) was taken. The same blood sample of patients was used to evaluate routine laboratory factors was used to measure albumin. All patients was used to assess the severity of trauma from the ISS (Injury Severity Scale). Serum albumin levels for patients was measured by a same laboratory method at the central laboratory of Imam Reza Hospital in Tabriz. Results: In this study, 111 patients with abdominal trauma (59 cases) and thoracic trauma (52 cases) were examined that in the group of patients with abdominal trauma, there was a significant relationship between primary albumin level and OD intensity and the prognosis of the disease with (P-value = 0.017) and (P-value = 0.020), respectively; However, the initial albumin level was not significantly associated with RTS (P-value> 0.05). Also, secondary albumin, there was a significant relationship with OD intensity (P-value <0.001), the prognosis of the disease (P-value <0.001), and RTS (P-value = 0.001). There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups of patients who survived and died with both OD intensity and RTS (P-value <0.001). In the group of patients with chest trauma, there was a significant relationship between the initial albumin level and OD intensity and the prognosis of the disease with (P-value = 0.015) and (P-value = 0.002), respectively; However, the initial albumin level was not significantly associated with RTS (P-value> 0.05). Also, secondary albumin, there was a significant relationship with OD intensity and the prognosis of the disease with (P-value = 0.035) and (P-value <0.001), respectively; However, this level was not significantly associated with RTS (P-value> 0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups of patients who survived and died with OD intensity (P-value = 0.001) and RTS (P-value <0.001).
