Correction: Dependence on Non-Tobacco Nicotine and Its Association with Postoperative Complications

Background

Understanding the impact of non-tobacco nicotine dependence on postoperative outcomes is crucial, as it has been linked to higher complication rates in various surgical settings. This topic is particularly relevant given the rising use of electronic nicotine delivery systems and their potential implications for surgical recovery.

Data Highlights

No numerical data or trial results are provided in the correction article.

Key Findings

• The author's name was corrected from Masilin Bogart to Maislin Bogart.
• Non-tobacco nicotine dependence is associated with increased complications following tibial shaft fracture fixation.
• Related studies indicate higher rates of medical and implant-related complications in patients with non-tobacco nicotine dependence.
• Guidelines emphasize the importance of identifying nicotine use and offering cessation treatment before surgery.
• Smoking cessation prior to surgery is known to reduce postoperative complications.

Clinical Implications

Healthcare providers should be aware of the risks associated with non-tobacco nicotine dependence in surgical patients.

Conclusion

The correction reaffirms the association between non-tobacco nicotine dependence and postoperative complications.
