P2. Abstract Title: Delayed Time to Emergency Hip Surgery in Patients Taking Oral Anticoagulants

Surgical intervention within 48 hours of admission in patients with acute hip fractures has been associated to lower morbidity and mortality. Patients anticoagulated with Vitamin K Antagonists (VKAs) have longer time to corrective surgery than those not anticoagulated. Sparse data exists on time to surgery (TTS) in patients taking direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). The aim of this study is to establish TTS among non-anticoagulated and anticoagulated patients taking either VKA or DOAC.
