Background: Geriatric comanagement has been shown to improve outcomes of older surgical inpatients. Furthermore, the choice of discharge location, that is, continuity of care, can have a fundamental impact on convalescence. These challenges and demands have led to the SURGE-Ahead project that aims to develop a clinical decision support system (CDSS) for geriatric comanagement in surgical clinics including a decision support for the best continuity of care option, supported by artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms.

Indications: Nondisplaced or only minimally displaced fractures of the acetabulum.
Contraindications: Comminuted and highly displaced fractures of the acetabulum, protrusion of the femoral head into the pelvis with the need for open reduction, lack of possibility of intraoperative navigation.
With advances in techniques, arthroscopic repair of isolated subscapularis tendon tears has become increasingly popular in recent years. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical and structural results of arthroscopic repair versus the gold standard of open repair. It is a prospective cohort study with a control group; evidence level III.

- Hip fractures continue to have high morbidity and mortality rates, and delays in surgery often occur for patients on long-term antithrombotic therapy, but urgent surgery may not lead to severe bleeding complications.
- A study reviewed 1142 patients who underwent surgery within 24 hours for hip fractures, with 51.1% on antithrombotics; it focused on transfusion rates, hemoglobin changes, mortality, and hematoma occurrences post-surgery.
- The findings revealed a 10.3-hour mean surgery wait, a 25.9% blood transfusion rate influenced by surgery duration and anticoagulants, a 5.3% mortality rate primarily linked to ASA classification and surgery timing, and 3
