Öztürk B, et al. - Researchers investigated whether surgery delay is associated with mortality in hip fracture patients with and without known comorbidity. Analyzing 36,552 patients with a first-time hip fracture diagnosis who were operated on between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2015, they identified no association between surgery delay, regardless of the threshold, and 30-day mortality among patients with high level of comorbidity, while there was one between surgery delay and 30-days mortality in hip fracture surgery patients with none and medium level of comorbidity. They identified a higher one-year mortality risk in correlation with surgery delay in both patients with and without comorbidity prior surgery.
