Key result
This review evaluates the relationship between atrial fibrillation and hip fracture risk, perioperative anticoagulant management, and long-term prognostic value on survival and rehabilitation.
Why the study?
Most hip fracture patients are elderly, a population with a high prevalence of atrial fibrillation, raising questions about AF risk, perioperative anticoagulation, long-term prognosis, and postoperative AF incidence.
What is the relationship between atrial fibrillation and hip fracture risk, perioperative anticoagulant management, and long-term prognosis after hip fracture surgery?
What is the relationship between atrial fibrillation and hip fracture risk, perioperative anticoagulant management, and long-term prognosis after hip fracture surgery?
This review discusses the relationship between atrial fibrillation and hip fracture, including perioperative anticoagulation and long-term prognosis.

AF may heighten hip fracture risks and perioperative challenges; leaves optimal anticoagulation and prognosis open for prospective trials.
More than 90% of hip fracture patients are older than 70 years and in most studies mean age is close to 85 years. Increasing age is also associated with a higher prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF). In present review we will try to answer 3 main questions about the effect of atrial fibrillation in patients with hip fracture: (a) Is there a relationship between AF and risk of hip fracture? (b) Which should be perioperative management of anticoagulant treatment? (c) has AF a long term prognostic value on survival after hip fracture surgery and is there a relationship between AF and the results of rehabilitative treatment? Moreover we evaluated the few reports about incidence and prognostic value of new onset postoperative atrial fibrillation.

Carlo Rostagno (2019) conducted a review in Atrial fibrillation and hip fracture. Atrial fibrillation was evaluated. This review evaluates the relationship between atrial fibrillation and hip fracture risk, perioperative anticoagulant management, and long-term prognostic value on survival and rehabilitation.
