Study Reveals Impact of Albumin Levels on Maxillofacial Space Infection Severity

Posted: January 3, 2025
This retrospective cohort study investigated the association between albumin levels and the severity of maxillofacial space infections (MSI). Lower albumin levels were linked to increased risk of prolonged hospital stay and higher severity of MSI. Patients with albumin levels below 30 g/L had nearly 3 times higher risk of extended hospitalization compared to those with levels above 35 g/L. Additionally, factors like multiple space infections and descending necrotizing mediastinitis were identified as risk factors for severe MSI.
