Patients are presenting with more comorbidities. Anticoagulants create a challenge for the necessary early surgical procedure (osteosynthesis or arthroplasty). Our aim was to investigate the influence of anticoagulants on in-house mortality after surgical treatment of proximal femoral fractures.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A retrospective single-centre study was conducted including 1933 patients with an average age of 79.8\u00a0years treated operatively for a proximal femoral fracture between January 2016 and June 2020. One treatment protocol was performed based on type of anticoagulant, surgery, and renal function.

Anticoagulants were associated with the occurrence of complications. The total complication rate was 22.4%. Patients with complications showed a prolonged time to surgery in comparison to those without (28.9\u00a0h vs 24.9\u00a0h; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.00). In-house mortality rate was 4% and twice as high for patients on anticoagulants (7.7%; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.00). Whilst there was no significant difference in the mortality rate between surgery within 24 and 48\u00a0hours (2.9% vs. 3.8%; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.535), there was a significant increase in mortality of patients waiting more than 48\u00a0hours (9.8%; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Pre-existing anticoagulant therapy in patients with proximal femur fractures is associated with a higher mortality rate, risk of complications and prolonged hospital stay.
