Safety of expedited-surgery protocols in anticoagulant-treated patients with hip fracture: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Perioperative management of patients with hip fracture patients receiving oral anticoagulants requires navigating the risks associated with surgical delay and perioperative hemostasis. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the effect of expedited-surgery protocols on time to surgery and perioperative outcomes in anticoagulant-treated patients with hip fracture.

Methods

We searched MEDLINE, Embase and CENTRAL from inception to May 5, 2020, to identify English-language studies reporting outcomes after expedited hip fracture surgery in patients receiving vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) or direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) before hospital admission. We performed a meta-analysis using Mantel-Haenszel weighting for dichotomous variables and i
