Multivariate analysis showed that 7 variables were associated with the risk of respiratory failure in patients with hip fracture (Table 3), including age (OR: 0.98, 95%CI:0.97–0.99), height (OR: 0.94, 95%CI: 0.91–0.97), albumin (OR: 0.80, 95%CI: 0.65–0.99), chloride (OR: 0.97, 95%CI: 0.94–0.99), pneumonia (reference: without pneumonia, OR: 2.18, 95% CI: 1.53–3.12), AKI (reference: without AKI, OR: 2.89, 95% CI: 2.10–4.02), and heparin (reference: without heparin, OR: 2.54, 95%CI: 1.54–4.20). This evidence concerns the gene ALB and acute kidney injury.
