Assessing The Effects of Hip Surgery on Arrhythmias in Iraqi Patients

Abstract

Background: Hip fractures are a prevalent cause of morbidity and mortality among the elderly. Advanced age correlates with higher chances of experiencing complications, including arrhythmias, after undergoing hip surgery. Objective: Our study primarily aimed to evaluate the impact of hip surgery on arrhythmias in Iraqi patients. Patients and methods: Our paper was conducted as a retrospective study aimed at investigating the impact of hip surgery on Iraqi patients with arrhythmias. We collected data from 93 cases, which were gathered from different hospitals in Iraq between 24th June 2022 and 18th May 2022. The study involved the input of clinical demographic outcomes of patients aged between 25 and 50, comprising both male and female genders. The BMI rates of patients with arrhythmias were classified into three sections: 18.5-24.9, 25-29.9, and above 30.

Clinical outcomes of the collected data were analysed using SPSS version 22.0. Results and discussion: Our study found that age has a significant impact on patients who suffer from arrhythmias. Where it was found that 43% percentage of patients with ages 40-50 years got surgery of hip and suffered to arrhythmias in comparison with patients with ages under those 40 years 32%. %). According to the BMI rate, the clinical outcomes were identified. The BMI rate of the patients that had almost of patients with a BMI above 30 got 40 (43.01%), but patients with (25-29.9) showed 30 (32.26%). Our data was identified prevalent preoperative underlying pathologies for patients, which found almost half of patients with hypertension with 43%. Conducting length of stay of patients with arrhythmias in hospital for 14 days where outcomes were enrolled length of stay was found seven patients during last 14 days while 38 patients have processed during first two days. Conclusions: our results showed that tachyarrhythmia was one of the main factors that had an impact on patients with arrhythmia. Hypertension was a major risk factor in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Mortality rate has a negative correlation with hypertension, where the rise of hypertension during surgery may lead to the loss of patients who have arrhythmias.
