Summary

This trial will compare accelerated surgery for hip fracture in patients with acute myocardial injury to standard care, in order to determine if it is superior in reducing death.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 45 or older who have a hip fracture from a low-energy event and need surgery, with elevated troponin levels indicating heart muscle injury. It's not for those with certain types of severe heart attacks, on specific anticoagulants without reversal options, refusing consent, previously enrolled in the same trial, needing emergency surgeries for other reasons, or with particular fracture types.
What is being tested?
The HIP ATTACK-2 trial is testing if getting surgery faster than usual for a hip fracture in patients who also have acute myocardial injury leads to better outcomes like lower death rates at 90 days post-surgery. It will also look at mobility recovery time, complications such as heart failure and stroke, delirium occurrence, pain levels and overall quality of life.
What are the potential side effects?
While the study doesn't list specific side effects related to accelerated medical clearance and surgery itself beyond typical surgical risks (like infection or bleeding), it will monitor major complications including new heart attacks, congestive heart failure events and strokes.
