HIP ATTACK: Accelerated hip fracture surgery only saves lives in subgroup with elevated troponins .
This report has been verified

original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Accelerated surgery versus standard care in hip fracture (HIP ATTACK): an international, randomised, controlled trial
Lancet.20202970 patients with hip fractures were randomized to receive either accelerated surgery (n=1487) or standard of care (n=1483). The co-primary outcomes of interest included mortality and a composite outcome of major complications (i.e., mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction, stroke, venous thromboembolism, sepsis, pneumonia, life-threatening bleeding, and major bleeding) after 90 days. Secondary outcomes of interest included incidence of pressure ulcers, pneumonia, infection, sepsis, residential status, delirium, and length of stay. Rapid treatment leads to notable decreases in delirium, non-sepsis infections, and hospitalization duration without a rise in medical complications or death rates. Furthermore, patients with high baseline troponin levels experienced a marked reduction in mortality when receiving accelerated care.
