Myocardial Injury in Patients with Hip Fracture .
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.
Myocardial Injury in Patients with Hip Fracture: A HIP ATTACK Randomized Trial Substudy.
J Bone Joint Surg Am . 2024 Dec 18;106(24):2303-2312.One thousand three hundred ninety-two patients with hip fracture who had a baseline troponin measurement were included in this post-hoc analysis of the HIP ATTACK trial. Of these, 322 (23%) presented with myocardial injury, defined by an elevated troponin level. These patients were randomized to receive either accelerated surgery (n=163) or standard care (n=159). The primary outcome was 90-day all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes included a composite of all-cause mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction, stroke, and congestive heart failure. Outcomes were assessed at 90 days post-randomization. Overall, the results revealed that patients with troponin elevation had significantly lower 90-day mortality with accelerated surgery (10%) compared to standard care (23%), along with fewer major cardiovascular complications. These findings suggest that accelerated surgery may be beneficial for hip fracture patients presenting with myocardial injury.
