Article Synopsis
- Surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) in patients on pre-injury antithrombotic therapy was analyzed to determine its impact on surgical outcomes and timing.
- A study of 218 patients revealed that while those on antithrombotics were older and had different injury severity scores, there were no significant delays in the timing of SSRF or differences in operative time between those on antithrombotics and those not.
- Although patients on antithrombotics had fewer ICU-free days, their overall surgical outcomes regarding complications and recovery times didn't show significant differences.
