Abstract

To investigate the diagnosis value of white blood cell (WBC) count, C-reactive protein (CRP), serum procalcitonin (PCT) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) levels for early infection after posterior cervical expansive open-door laminoplasty. Discover, prevent, and treat postoperative infections promptly. The clinical data of 120 patients with early fever after posterior cervical laminoplasty from January 2010 to April 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the results of bacteriological culture of wound exudate, the patients were divided into infected group(53 cases) and non-infected group(67 cases). In infection group, there were 32 males and 21 females, aged from 48 to 63 years old, with an average of(52.28±6.36) years. In non-infected group, there were 37 males and 30 females, aged from 46 to 62 years old, with an average of(51.63±5.82) years. According to the postoperative infection types, the patients in infection group were divided into 30 cases of deep surgical site infection group and 23 cases of superficial surgical site infection group. In deep surgical site infection group, there were 19 males and 11 females, aged from 50 to 63 years old with an average of (53.16±5.62) years. In superficial surgical si...Continue Reading
