Difference in Mortality Rate by Type of Anticoagulant in Elderly Patients with Cardiovascular Disease after Hip Fractures.

Conclusions: CVD increases short-term mortality within 30 days, 60 days, and 3 months in elderly hip fracture patients. The use of anticoagulants in CVD patients increases the rate of surgical delay and short-term mortality within 30 days, 60 days, and 3 months. PMID: 30838103 [PubMed - in process]
