Affected patients often require antiplatelet therapy (APT) due to cardiovascular diseases. Guidelines recommend 5-7 days APT interruption for elective surgery. Early osteosynthetic surgery of proximal femoral fractures despite of APT should be considered. Aim of the study: To evaluate whether early osteosynthetic surgery despite of APT is associated with increased blood loss, complications and mortality. Methods: Data of patients with proximal femoral fractures, who were treated by osteosynthesis at the Department of Trauma Surgery at the Medical University of Vienna were collected retrospectively. Study groups were formed by time to surgery and APT interruption. The primary endpoint of the study was the perioperative blood loss. Secondary endpoints were complications, 30-day and 1-year mortality, time to surgery, and the total length of hospital stay. Results: The osteosynthetic treatment of proximal femoral fractures despite of APT resulted in a shorter time to surgery (13.8 vs. 66.0 h; p &lt; 0.01). In patients on APT, the TBL (total perioperative blood loss) was higher without need for revision or an increase in the need for packed red blood cells if surgery was performed within 24 h after admission. APT had no significant influence on mortality. Patients who underwent surgery within 24 h after admission had a lower mortality. The complication rate was higher in patients who underwent surgery later than 24 h after admission. Conclusions: Surgery within 24 h after admission, regardless of APT, resulted in a shorter hospitalization length and was associated with less common complications and a lower mortality.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm8122176","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,9]],"date-time":"2019-12-09T11:22:51Z","timestamp":1575890571000},"page":"2176","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Impact of Antiplatelet Therapies on Patients Outcome in Osteosynthetic Surgery of Proximal Femoral Fractures"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6902-126X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael","family":"Humenberger","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Trauma Surgery, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna 1090, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matthias","family":"Stockinger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Trauma Surgery, Tauernklinikum Zell am See, Zell am See 5700, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephan","family":"Kettner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesia, Intensive Care Medicine and Pain Medicine, Krankenhaus Hietzing, Vienna 1130, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jolanta","family":"Siller-Matula","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna 1090, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stefan","family":"Hajdu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Trauma Surgery, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna 1090, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"288","DOI":"10.1007\/s001320050446","article-title":"Femoral neck fracture.
