Purpose
Fracture healing relies on the body to coordinate an inflammatory and anabolic reaction to re-establish osseous union. Although many factors affect this process or even disrupt it, the role of the body's nutritional reserves is not well understood. The purposes of this study were to describe the weight changes and to identify trends in laboratory values commonly used in nutritional assessment during mandibular fracture treatment.
Materials and Methods
A prospective cohort study was designed. The study cohort included patients who sustained a mandibular fracture from September 1, 2017, to March 31, 2018. The primary outcome variable was the percentage weight change from baseline. Secondary outcome variables included serum albumin and serum prealbumin levels. Weight change was analyzed using a linear mixed model. Paired Wilcoxon tests were used to compare laboratory values with baseline …
