Article Synopsis
- Hip fractures significantly increase health risks in older adults, and the timing of surgery after admission is critical for reducing these risks.
- The study reviewed the relationship between the use of oral anticoagulants (OAC) and the delay in surgery for hip fracture patients over 65 at Sheba Medical Center from 2014-2018.
- Results showed that patients on OAC experienced longer delays in surgery (24.6% had delays over 48 hours) compared to those not on these medications, with OAC therapy identified as the main factor contributing to surgical delay.
