A recent study shows that immediate admission to a surgical hospital for older patients with hip fractures leads to:
✅ Shorter time to surgery
✅ Reduced hospital stay
✅ Fewer postoperative complications
✅ Lower mortality rates
The United States has a chance to do something that should have been done DECADES AGO. Don’t be Weak! Don’t be Stupid! Don’t be a PANICAN (A new party based on Weak and Stupid people!). Be Strong, Courageous, and Patient, and GREATNESS will be the result!
The incidence of postoperative acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in elderly hip fracture patients combined with coronary heart disease was 11.1% in a recent study. The mortality rate of these patients is higher than that of non AMI patients in the follow up of 2 years.
