Prolonged pre-operative hospital stay as a predictive factor for early outcomes and mortality after geriatric hip fracture surgery: a single institution open prospective cohort study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionThe aim of this open prospective cohort study was to determine if a prolonged pre-operative hospital stay is a true predictor of higher morbidity or mortality in geriatric patients with hip fractures. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe analysed early outcome parameters, such as functional independence measure (FIM), at discharge and four months post-operatively, peri-operative nonsurgical complications, intra-hospital and one year mortality compared with prolonged pre-operative hospital stay in 308 patients from a continuous cohort of 344.
resultsAverage pre-operative stay was 8.39 ± 5.80 days. Delaying surgery for > 72 hours was independently predictive for general complications and lower motor FIM gain at four months. All findings worsen progressively after the fifth day of delay. Pre-operative period was not found to be an independent predictor of mortality.
conclusionIn all observed outcome parameters except mortality, pre-operative delay > 72 hours was shown to be a true predictive factor.
