Summary

This study looks at whether doing hip fracture surgery within 6 hours, instead of waiting longer, can reduce deaths in patients who also have a recent heart injury. About 1100 adults aged 45 and older with a hip fracture and elevated troponin (a sign of heart damage) will be randomly assigned to either accelerated surgery or standard care. The main goal is to see if faster treatment lowers the chance of dying within 90 days.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
accelerated medical clearance and surgery
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that faster surgery after a hip fracture lowers the risk of death for patients who also have a heart injury.
What could go wrong
This is a mid-stage trial, so results are not yet proven. The benefit may be small or not apply to all patients, and rushing surgery could increase risks.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 1,100 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. age ≥45 years; 2. diagnosis of hip fracture during working hours with a low-energy mechanism requiring surgery; 3. troponin elevation ( at least one troponin measurement above the upper limit of normal occurring from the time of hip fracture to the time of randomization); and 4. informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: 1. taking a therapeutic dose of an anticoagulant for which no reversing agent is available and the anesthesiologist or surgeon believe surgery within 6 hours of eligibility criteria met would not be safe; 2. patients on a therapeutic vitamin K antagonist with a history of heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT); 3. patients with peri-prosthetic fracture, open fracture or bilateral fractures; 4. patients requiring an emergency surgery for another reason (e.g., subdural hematoma); 5. patients with acute myocardial infarction deemed to be clinically unstable, with a mechanical complication (i.e., acute papillary muscle rupture, ventricular septal defect), ST elevation myocardial infarction, or cardiogenic shock; 6. patients refusing consent; or 7. patients previously enrolled in HIP ATTACK-2.
