This complaint is from a literature source.The following literature cite has been reviewed: pankratz c, cintean r, boitin d, hofmann m, dehner c, gebhard f, schuetze k.Early surgical care of anticoagulated hip fracture patients is feasible-a retrospective chart review of hip fracture patients treated with hip arthroplasty within 24 hours.J clin med.2022 nov 5;11(21):6570.Doi: 10.3390/jcm11216570.Pmid: 36362798; pmcid: pmc9659252.Objective and methods: authors sought to determine the effect of oral anticoagulation in patients receiving early endoprosthetic treatment within 24 hours after their hospital admission.A retrospective chart review of 221 patients from 2016 to 2020, who were treated either with hemi- (n = 209) or total hip arthroplasty (n = 12) within 24 hours after their admission, was performed.Of the 221, authors identified 68 patients who took platelet aggregation inhibitors (pai), 34 who took direct oral anticoagulants (doac) and 9 who took vitamin-k-antagonist (vka) medications.The primary outcome measures were the transfusion rate and the pre- and postoperative hemoglobin (hb) difference.The secondary outcome measures were the in-patient mortality and the rate of postoperative hematomas that needed operative treatment.All patients received depuy corail femoral stems paired with either depuy self-centering bipolar heads (209) or depuy pinnacle acetabular cups liners, and femoral heads (12).Results: overall, 62 patients (28%) needed blood transfusions during the in-patient stay with an asa classification, but the type of anticoagulative medication was not a significant predictor in the logistic regression.Anticoagulation with doac and grouped surgery times were positive predictors for a higher hb difference in the patients who did not undergo an intraoperative blood transfusion (n = 159).Postoperative hematomas only occurred in patients taking anticoagulative medication (four cases in pai group, and three cases in doac group), but the logistic regression showed that the anticoagulative medication had no effect.The in-patient mortality was significantly influenced by a high asa grading, but not by the type of anticoagulative medication in patients who were treated within 24 hours of admission.!7 patients died during their hospital stays, 9 from the non-anticoagulation subset, and 5 from the pau group, 2 from the doac group, and 1 from the vka group.Logistic regression showed that high asa classification was significantly associated with higher mortality risk, as was increased age of the patient.Conclusion: early endoprosthetic treatment of the anticoagulated hip fracture patient is safe, and a delayed surgical treatment to address anticoagulation is no longer justifiable.Complications: 7 patients: required revision surgery to address post-op hematoma 62 patients: required a blood transfusion.
