Preoperative Consultations and Their Effect on Surgical Delays and Mortality in Hip Fracture Surgery
This study found that advanced age and high ASA scores were the main factors causing surgical delays in hip fracture patients. While modifiable comorbidities could reduce hospital stays, they did not significantly affect postoperative mortality. Streamlining elective consultations and reducing organizational delays could help prevent delayed surgeries and improve outcomes.
