Implication

Prospective cohort study assessed surgical delay effects on 30-day mortality and complications in elderly hip fracture patients, highlighting urgent intervention needs.

Key Points

Surgical delay greater than 24 hours increases 30-day mortality risk in hip fracture patients.
Patients with delayed surgery experienced a significantly higher complication rate of 27.3% compared to 14.9%.
Mean hospital stay for delayed surgery patients was 10.8 days versus 7.2 days for those with early surgery.
Cox regression analysis indicated that surgical delay is an independent predictor of short-term mortality.
