| 1 | PURPOSE: To clarify pre- and postoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in patients with facial fractures and to investigate the influence of perioperatively administered dexamethasone on postoperative CRP levels. | Dexamethasone | C-reactive protein | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | However, postoperative CRP rise was significantly impeded by dexamethasone (p < 0.001), regardless of gender, age, treatment delay, site of fracture, surgical approach, and duration of surgery. | Dexamethasone | C-reactive protein | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | CRP rise halved on the 1st postoperative day when dexamethasone was used. | Dexamethasone | C-reactive protein | Homo sapiens |
| 4 | In addition, dexamethasone resulted in a CRP decrease on the 2nd postoperative day, whereas the CRP rise continued in the control group. | Dexamethasone | C-reactive protein | Homo sapiens |
| 5 | CONCLUSIONS: CRP rise is a normal body response after facial fracture and surgery that can be markedly reduced with dexamethasone. | Dexamethasone | C-reactive protein | Homo sapiens |
| 6 | CRP changes should be considered with caution if perioperative dexamethasone is used. | Dexamethasone | C-reactive protein | Homo sapiens |
