Preoperative direct oral anticoagulants treatment and all-cause mortality in elderly patients with hip fracture: A retrospective cohort study

摘要

Introduction: Hip fracture is common among the elderly and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, particularly when surgery is delayed. Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) use might increase bleeding and postpone hip repair surgery. We aimed to assess the association between preoperative DOACs use and adverse outcomes in elderly patients with hip fracture.
