“… 13 Interestingly, 30- and 90-day readmission rates were no different in both groups and are within reported ranges of readmission rates following operative distal radius fractures. 14 , 15 , 16 Patients with CKD are shown to have higher readmission rates and mortality following lower extremity fracture care compared with patients without kidney disease. 17 The additional impact of kidney disease on frailty scores in patients with CKD could be a contributing factor to the observed higher mortality rate and should perhaps be taken into account when managing these injuries.…”
