Clinical outcomes in elderly patients on direct oral anticoagulant drugs undergoing surgery for acute hip fracture (AHF)
Surgically treated acute hip fracture patients on DOACs had higher 360-day mortality, adjusted for age, sex, comorbidity and frailty. Additionally, these patients experienced longer time to surgery and higher transfusion rates. This study provides important insights into the perioperative outcomes of elderly AHF patients using DOACs and highlights the need for further research.
