Inflammatory Markers in Trauma Patient Outcomes
Inflammatory Response to Trauma - Does Early Cytokine Modulation Improve Patient Outcome
It is unknown whether early modulation of inflammatory cytokines is associated with improved patient outcomes, reduced narcotic requirements in orthopaedic patient population, and improved patient subjective pain after hospital discharge. Preliminary animal and clinical studies have shown correlation between elevated blood cytokine concentrations during the acute phase of trauma and the development of post-traumatic complications. Early administration of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) in animals significantly reduced inflammatory profiles, improved pulmonary edema, and enhanced arteriole vasoconstriction in response to hemorrhage. The ability to modify post-traumatic physiologic response via short-term administration of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) may lead to improved patient outcome. In addition, given the current landscape for opioid epidemic in the United States, alternative non-opioid pain management during acute trauma has the potential to reduce opioid consumption and represents a pivotal component of multimodal analgesia strategy.
By doing this study, the investigators hope to learn how to provide the best care for all patients in the state of Kentucky. Patient participation in this research will last about 1 year.

Detailed Description
Accidental trauma is the 4th leading cause of death in the United States, and it is associated with a complex inflammatory response. This response is associated with post-traumatic complications such as; multi-organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), bacterial pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), and post traumatic pain (PTP). It is unknown whether early modulation of inflammatory cytokines is associated with improved patient outcomes, reduced narcotic requirements, and improved patient subjective pain after hospital discharge.
Preliminary data has shown: (1) elevated blood cytokine concentrations during the acute phase of trauma are correlated with the development of fatal post-traumatic complications, (2) that early administration of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) resulted in decreased blood serum levels of IL-6, Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), improved pulmonary edema, and enhanced arterioles ability to vasoconstrict in response to hemorrhage in animal models, and (3) that the addition of the internal physiologic parameters (inflammatory cytokines) to New Injury Severity Score (NISS - a marker of the external anatomical insult) significantly improves the ability to predict hospital length of stay of trauma patients when compared to NISS alone. The investigator's group is the first to use an integrative approach that combines the external anatomic injury data with the internal physiologic response for accurate prediction of patient's clinical outcome. Therefore, if the investigators apply this same mindset to treatment, the investigators can improve the trauma patients' care by addressing both parameters as opposed to solely focusing on the external injury as done in the past. The ability to modify post-traumatic physiologic response via short-term administration of a NSAID may lead to improved patient outcome.
Over the last decade, clinicians remain puzzled over the safety of NSAID administration after fracture in terms of bone union. In addition, given the current landscape for opioid epidemic in the United States, alternative non-opioid pain management during acute trauma has the potential to reduce opioid consumption and represents a pivotal component of multimodal analgesia strategy.
