Résumé

Early hip fracture surgery is recommended to decrease mortality, however the impact of a delay in surgery due to previous treatment with direct oral anticoagulants (DOA) is unknown. Our objective was to determine if early surgery, defined as surgery within 48 h of hospital admission is associated with decreased postoperative mortality. We tested the hypothesis that early surgery was beneficial with regard for mortality in patients treated with direct oral anticoagulants.
