Conclusion: Surgical delay does not change the need for transfusion of hip fracture patients on DAPT, but it is associated with increased probabilities of major complications and 30-day mortality.

The primary outcome, 30-day mortality, occurred in 16 (14%) patients with secondary outcomes of SAEs in 25 (22%) patients and transfusion in 30 (27%) patients. Ts (days) did not significantly affect 30-day mortality (odds ratio (OR): 1.37, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.80–2.33; p = 0.248), SAE (hazard ratio (HR): 1.03, 95% CI: 0.70–1.52; p = 0.885), transfusion (OR: 0.72 95% CI: 0.45 to 1.16; p = 0.177) or POD 1 Hb (OR: 1.99, 95% CI: −0.59 to 4.57; p = 0.129). Timing of surgery does not influence common surgical outcomes such as 30-day mortality, SAE, transfusion, and POD1 Hb in patients taking DOACs on admission.]]> Fri 17 Jun 2022 13:19:06 AEST ]]>
