Segarra B, Ballesteros Heras N, Viadel Ortiz M, et al. - Via this longitudinal prospective cohort study, researchers aimed to delineate clinical characteristics of fracture patients, including a closer look to hip fracture patients. In addition, they examined the possible influence of epidemiological variables on a higher vulnerability to SARS-CoV-2 infection, as the basis for the considerations required to reintroduce elective surgery during the pandemic. One hundred forty-four consecutive fracture patients 18 years or older admitted for surgery were interviewed; of these, 137 (95.7%) were tested. Of these 137 tested patients, three were SARS-CoV-2 positive (2.1%). Observations revealed no association when individual testing in crowding above 50 people was done. Findings suggest safety of undertaking treatment at hospitals if strict recommendations are followed. Similar outcomes, including 30-day mortality, were observed when comparison between the 2020 and 2019 hip fracture cohorts was performed.
