Prognostic value of PCR IL-6 and IL-10 serum levels in determining postoperative complications after geriatric surgery in diabetic patients

摘要

class="head no_bottom_margin" id="__sec2title">BackgroundThe onset of postoperative septic complications has been associated to serum levels of interleukin (IL) IL-6 and IL-10. [,]. We have extrapolated a diabetic group from a previous study to evaluate pre and postoperative profiles of some inflammatory markers (IL-6 , IL-10 and CRP). We related the data obtained to the onset of postoperative complications. Diabetic patients have been selected because of their high rate of post-operative complications, especially surgical wound infection.
