Mortality rates are high. As early surgery is propagated to lower mortality and reduce complication rates, a 24-h target for surgery is requested. It was our aim to determine the cut-off for the time to surgery from admission and therefore establish a threshold at which the in-house mortality rate changes.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A retrospective single-center cohort study was conducted including 1796 patients with an average age of 82.03\u00a0years treated operatively for a proximal femoral fracture between January 2016 and June 2020. A single treatment protocol was performed based on the type of anticoagulant, surgery, and renal function. Patient data, surgical procedure, time to surgery, complications, and mortality were assessed.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>In-house mortality rate was 3.95%, and the overall complication rate was 22.7%. A prolonged length of hospital stay was linked to patient age and occurrence of complications. Mortality is influenced by age, number of comorbidities BMI, and postoperative complications of which the most relevant is pneumonia. The mean time to surgery for the entire cohort was 26.4\u00a0h. The investigation showed no significant difference in mortality rate among the two groups treated within 24\u00a0h and 24 to 48\u00a0h while comparing all patients treated within 48\u00a0h and after 48\u00a0h revealed a significant difference in mortality.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Age and number of comorbidities significantly influence mortality rates. Time to surgery is not the main factor influencing outcome after proximal femur fractures, and mortality rates do not differ for surgery up to 48\u00a0h after admission. Our data suggest that a 24-h target is not necessary, and the first 48\u00a0h may be used for optimizing preoperative patient status if necessary.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s40520-023-02406-x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,4]],"date-time":"2023-05-04T03:28:26Z","timestamp":1683170906000},"page":"1231-1239","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Early surgery?
