Systemic Inflammatory Responses and Lung Injury following Hip Fracture Surgery Increases Susceptibility to Infection in Aged Rats
Figure 6
Lung pathology scores. Pathology scores were based on the degree of cellular infiltration, pulmonary edema, congestion, and intra-alveolar hemorrhage graded on a scale from 0 = normal, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, to 3 = severe injury, with a maximum score of 12. Sections were graded by a pathologist blinded to the study protocol ( per group). Results are expressed as the mean ± SD. Analysis was done using one-way ANOVA with the Tukey post hoc test. * when compared to other groups.
