Risk factors for the development of aspiration pneumonia in elderly patients with femoral neck and trochanteric fractures: A retrospective study of a patient cohort.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Aspiration pneumonia (AP) has been recognized as one of the most common postoperative complications after hip surgery in elderly. The objective of the present study was to evaluate risk for postoperative complications of AP in elderly patients with femoral neck fractures.We recruited 426 patients (age 84.9 ± 7.4 years) with a history of hip surgery carried out at Toyama Municipal Hospital. AP occurred in 18 out of 426 cases (4.23%). Statistical test has found significant differences in age, gender, serum albumin level, and cognitive impairment, between AP and non-AP groups. Subsequently multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted to investigate the risk factors for AP, including age, gender, serum albumin, cognitive impairment, and activities of daily living (ADL). Adjusted odds ratio showed significant differences in age, gender, and serum albumin, whereas no significant differences were found in cognitive impairment and ADL.This study suggested that serum albumin seemed to be a risk factor for AP but were necessary to assess under adjustment of confounding factors, including age and gender. Monitoring serum albumin level seemed to be important for the postoperative management of AP, especially in elderly patients receiving surgery of femoral neck and trochanteric fractures.
