Interaction Between Multimorbidity and Hip Fracture Surgery Leads to Excess Risk of Infection: A Danish Registry-Based Cohort Study of 92,599 Patients With Hip Fracture
Multimorbidity and HF surgery interact synergistically, which substantially increases the infection risk. The interaction effect increased with multimorbidity level. Our findings highlight the potential benefits of implementing more targeted and personalized preventive initiatives for multimorbid patients.
