Risk factors for adverse cardiac events in hip fracture patients: an analysis of NSQIP data
Conclusion
Orthopaedic trauma surgeons should be aware of cardiac disease history and atherosclerotic conditions (PVD, stroke) in risk stratifying patients to prevent cardiac complications. Our recommendations to reduce cardiac events include simple pre-operative lab-work to full-fledged cardiac work-up and referrals to specific medicine disciplines based on the specific risk factors present.
