Summary

This study looks at 374 hip fracture patients who take blood thinners (DOACs). Doctors often delay surgery due to bleeding concerns, but waiting may cause other problems. The study compares early surgery (within 24 hours) to delayed surgery to see if early surgery increases the need for blood transfusions.
