Surgical delay, length of hospital stay, type of anaesthesia, perioperative complications and mortality reported among hip fracture with DOAC or no anticoagulation prior to the fracture (n = 314)
| Antithrombotic medication | ||||

| General anaesthesia (%) | 32 (10%) | 10 (3.8%) | 22 (47%) | 0.001 |
| Perioperative complications | p value | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mean blood loss during surgery (SD) | 219 mL (208) | 218 mL (209) | 223 mL (204) | 0.9 |
| Mean fall in haemoglobin (SD) | 1.90 (1.30) | 1.89 (1.25) | 1.95 (1.63) | 0.8 |

| Number of patients transfused (%) | 134 (43%) | 113 (42%) | 21 (45%) | 1.10 (0.59–2.01) |
| Reported wound ooze (%) | 27 (8.6%) | 15 (5.6%) | 12 (26%) | 5.8 (2.49–13.3) |
| Mortality | OR (95% CI) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| In-hospital mortality | 11 (3.5%) | 9 (3.4%) | 2 (4.3%) | 1.27 (0.27–6.09) |
| 30-day mortality | 39 (12.4%) | 34 (12.7%) | 5 (10.6%) | 1.23 (0.45–3.31) |
| 6-month mortality | 70 (22.3%) | 59 (22.1%) | 11 (23.4%) | 0.93 (0.45–1.94) |
Bold values indicate more frequent use of general anaesthesia and higher risk of wound ooze in DOAC-users compared to non-users
