Aim: To determine the frequency of in hospital mortality and to compare this frequency of mortality with CRP/Albumin ration in patients with surgical abdomen and/or chest trauma. Study Design: Cross-sectional study Place and Duration of Study: Surgical Unit IV, Civil Hospital Karachi from 26th June 2019 to 25th December 2019. Methodology: One hundred and thirty one patients with abdominal and/or chest surgical trauma were enrolled within 24 hours of trauma. Serum CRP level and serum albumin level were done through hospital hematology laboratory and CRP/albumin ration was calculated and relation with in hospital mortality was found. Results: The mean age of patients was 34.24±15.5 years with 74 male and 57 females. Mean height was 167.5±13.9 cm, mean weight was 62.6±8.6 kg and mean BMI was22.4±5.3kg/m2. Mean CRP was 14.3±9.6 mg/dl, mean albumin was 3.76±0.98 g/dl and mean CRP/Albumin ratio was 3.74±2.3.In CRP/Albumin cluster there were 32.1% patients in 0.01-2 cluster, 43.5% in 2.01-4 cluster and 32.1% in 4.01-9 cluster. 12.2% patients were expired among them there were 7.1% expiry rate in 0.01-2 cluster, 10.6% in 2.01-4 cluster and 19% patients expired in 4.01-9. Increased CRP/Albumin cluster was associated with increased mortality rate. Conclusion: An elevated CRP/Albumin ratio in traumatized patient was associated with an increased risk of mortality. Keywords: Surgical trauma, Prognostic marker, CRP/albumin ratio
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
