Why the study?
Does perioperative myocardial damage (PMD) predict major cardiac complications and mortality in patients undergoing hip fracture repair?

PMD may stratify 6-month risk after hip fracture repair; leaves open whether troponin-guided interventions improve outcomes.
Does perioperative myocardial damage (PMD) predict major cardiac complications and mortality in patients undergoing hip fracture repair?
Perioperative myocardial damage with troponin Ic release is frequent after hip fracture repair and is strongly associated with a significant increase in 6-month major cardiac complications and all-cause mortality.
Ausset et al. (2009) studied this question.
