Summary
This study reviewed records of 610 older adults (over 65) on blood thinners who had hip fracture surgery. Researchers wanted to see how long surgery was delayed to avoid bleeding risks and whether that delay affected survival. The goal is to find the safest approach to schedule surgery for these patients.
