• Effect of early surgery after hip fracture on mortality and complications: systematic review and meta-analysis (2010, background): “Proponents of early treatment argue that this approach minimizes the length of time a patient is confined to bed rest, thereby reducing the risk of associated complications, such as pressure sores, deep vein thrombosis and urinary tract infections.(8) However, those favouring a delay believe it prov”
• Excess mortality following hip fracture: a systematic epidemiological review (2009, result): “Two studies found an increased risk of death, including death due to infection, among patients whose surgery was delayed beyond 72 h after admission [71, 72] but other studies have failed to find any significant benefit of early surgery (<24 h post-fracture) in terms of subsequent mortality [73, 74]”
• Timing Matters in Hip Fracture Surgery: Patients Operated within 48 Hours Have Better Outcomes. A Meta-Analysis and Meta-Regression of over 190,000 Patients (2012, methodology): “Fourteen studies, seven of low quality [32,34,35,36,44,46,57] and eight of high quality [37,40,43,45,50,53,54], reported prospective adjusted measures of effect.”
