New femoral fracture study results reported from Ruhr University.(Clinical report)
According to recent research from Bochum, Germany, "Whether reducing time-to-surgery for elderly patients suffering from hip fracture results in better outcomes remains subject to controversial debates. As part of a prospective observational study conducted between January 2002 and September 2003 on hip-fracture patients from 268 acute-care hospitals all over Germany, we investigated the relationship of time-to-surgery with frequency of post-operative complications and one-year mortality in elderly patients ( age >= 65) with isolated proximal femoral fracture ( femoral neck fracture or pertrochanteric femoral fracture)."
"Patients with short ( 12 h to 36 h) times-to-surgery, counting from the time of the fracture event, were compared for patient characteristics, operative procedures, post-operative complications and one-year mortality. Hospital data were available for 2916 hip-fracture patients ( mean age (SD) in years: 82.1 (7.4), median age: 82; 79.7% women). Comparison of groups with short (n = 802), medium ( n = 1191) and long ( n = 923) time-to-surgery revealed statistically significant differences in a few patient characteristics ( age, American Society of Anesthesiologists ratings classification and type of admission) and in operative procedures ( total hip endoprosthesis, hemi-endoprosthetic implants, other osteosynthetic procedures). However, comparison of these same groups for frequency of postoperative complications revealed only some non-significant associations with certain complications such as post-operative bleeding requiring treatment ( early surgery patients) and urinary tract infections (delayed surgery patients). Both unadjusted rates of one-year all-cause ...
