Abstract: (2404 Views) |
Background and Objectives: Patients with bone fractures usually experience extensive metabolic stresses that can lead to chronic inflammation and post-traumatic complications. Colostrum, as a rich source of bioactive substances, is effective in boosting the immune system, increasing body strength, and controlling chronic inflammation. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of colostrum supplementation on quality of life and complications after trauma in pelvic fracture patients.
Materials and Methods: In this clinical trial, 75 pelvic fracture patients were randomly divided into two groups: colostrum and control groups. The intervention group received 40 g of colostrum powder, and the control group received 15 g of whey protein powder. The occurrence of post-trauma complications, including local complications, systemic complications, and quality of life decline, was investigated for six months.
Results: In the colostrum group, the risk of wound infection, venous embolism, malnutrition, urinary tract infection, and quality of life impairment were significantly lower than those in the control group (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Colostrum supplementation can decrease complications after trauma in pelvic fracture patients. |
