The Interaction Between Per-admission β-Blocker Therapy, The Revised Cardiac Risk Index, and Mortality in Geriatric Hip Fracture Patients.
An association between β-blocker (BB) therapy and a reduced risk of major cardiac events and mortality in patients undergoing surgery for hip fractures has previously been demonstrated. Furthermore, a relationship between an increased Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI) score and a higher risk of postoperative mortality has also been detected. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the interaction between BB therapy and RCRI in relation to 30-day postoperative mortality in geriatric patients after hip fracture surgery. ⋯ Therapeutic/care management, level II.
