Methods: 1098 patients were followed as part of a prospective risk stratification program at a tertiary, high-volume arthroplasty center. Chronic malnutrition was defined as preoperative albumin Results: The overall incidence of malnutrition was 16.9% (primary and revision arthroplasty patients). Average BMI was highest for patients in albumin category 3.0-3.5 (BMI 35.7). Preoperative albumin postoperative ICU admission. Conclusion: Patients with poor nutritional status must be counseled on the risks of adverse medical complications.       UR - https://abjs.mums.ac.ir/article_5272.html L1 - https://abjs.mums.ac.ir/article_5272_01b35fc5d24aaf11fb7a1dc27545e1a0.pdf ER -
