Abstract
Key summary points AbstractSection Aim The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between the timing of surgery and perioperative blood loss, red blood cell (RBC) transfusion rate, and RBC transfusion volume in older patients with hip fracture. AbstractSection Findings In this study, we found that older patients with hip fracture in the early surgery group had less total blood loss, less preoperative RBC transfusion rate, and less preoperative and perioperative RBC transfusion volume. AbstractSection Message Early surgery within 48 h was associated with reduced perioperative blood loss and red blood cell transfusion requirements in older patients with hip fracture.
