Introduction: currently there are very few published studies concerning the effect of implantations with stem cells in post-surgical aseptic pseudoarthrosis. In addition, the traditional methods of adjuvant treatment in order to improve efficacy (anabolic steroids and bisphosphonates) represent high risks, rejection and even treatment abandonment by patients.
Objective: hierarchalising the most influential variables for treatment with stem cells in post-surgical aseptic pseudoarthrosis in the Orthopedics and Traumatology service of the Hospital General Docente “Dr. Agostinho Neto”, Guantánamo, from January 2022 to January 2023, with the application of the TOPSIS fuzzy method.
Method: a descriptive study was applied, with the application of Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy process methods (Fuzzy AHP) and the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (fuzzy TOPSIS), with information gathered from the Orthopedics and Traumatology department of the aforementioned hospital. The universe of study consisted of 50 patients. The study sample included n꓿44.
Results: it was possible to obtain the main variables involved in the stem cell treatment for pseudarthrosis, variables with great contribution in the success of implementation of such treatment, which were as follow: fracture trace, cause of pseudarthrosis, type of therapy used, time of bone consolidation and degree in bone consolidation.
Conclusions: the hierarchization of the variables obtained will constitute a guide where the Orthopedics and Traumatology services of the Hospital General Docente “Dr. Agostinho Neto”, in Guantánamo municipality, will be able to influence in the efficacy of stem cell treatment for pseudarthrosis.
