Right ventricular global longitudinal strain (RV GLS), which correlates with pulmonary hemodynamics, indicates the subclinical function of the right ventricle (RV). This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of RV GLS for the risk of adverse clinical composite outcomes in patients with femoral fractures. Methods: Data were obtained from a prospective single-center cohort of patients hospitalized for femoral fractures and followed up for at least 1 year between March 2021 and October 2022. The primary outcome was the development of an adverse composite clinical event, which included pneumonia, pulmonary oedema or effusion, pulmonary thromboembolism, and all-cause mortality within the 1-year period following surgery. Results: Among the 163 patients, 36 (22.09%) experienced adverse composite clinical events during 1-year follow-up. The adverse outcome group demonstrated poorer RV GLS and RV free wall strain values than the non-adverse outcome group. The optimal cut-off value of RV GLS for predicting composite adverse clinical events was \u221212.55%. The cumulative composite event-free survival rate was significantly lower in the RV GLS \u2265 \u221212.55% group (log-rank p-value = 0.003). After adjusting for confounding factors, multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses showed that RV GLS \u2265 \u221212.55% independently increased the risk of composite adverse clinical events by 2.65-fold. Conclusions: Poor RV GLS is a significant predictor of adverse clinical outcomes in patients with femoral fractures. Specifically, an RV GLS value of \u2265 \u221212.55% indicated a substantially increased risk of adverse events.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jpm14070673","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,24]],"date-time":"2024-06-24T08:42:03Z","timestamp":1719218523000},"page":"673","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Right Ventricular Subclinical Dysfunction as a Predictor of Postoperative Adverse Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Femoral Fracture"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7885-1695","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hyun-Jin","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, Hanyang University College of Medicine, Hanyang University Guri Hospital, 153 Gyeongchun-ro, Guri 11923, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hyun-Sun","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing, College of Nursing, Eulji University, 712 Dongil-ro, Uijeongbu 11759, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeong-Heon","family":"Heo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, Hanyang University College of Medicine, Hanyang University Guri Hospital, 153 Gyeongchun-ro, Guri 11923, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2132","DOI":"10.1111\/os.13410","article-title":"Effect of Age on the Patterns of Traumatic Femoral Fractures: Seven Years of Experience at a Regional Tertiary Hospital","volume":"14","author":"Yuan","year":"2022","journal-title":"Orthop.
