About this trial

The HIP ATTACK-2 trial is a multicentre, international, parallel group randomized controlled trial to determine whether accelerated surgery for hip fracture in patients with acute myocardial injury is superior to standard care in reducing death at 90 days after randomization. The trial will also assess secondary outcomes at 90 days after randomization: inability to independently walk 3 metres, time to first mobilization (first standing and first full weight bear), composite and individual assessment of major complications (e.g., mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction, acute congestive heart failure, and stroke), delirium, length of stay, pain, and quality of life.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

age ≥45 years;

diagnosis of hip fracture during working hours with a low-energy mechanism requiring surgery;

troponin elevation ( at least one troponin measurement above the upper limit of normal occurring from the time of hip fracture to the time of randomization); and

informed consent.

Disqualifiers

taking a therapeutic dose of an anticoagulant for which no reversing agent is available and the anesthesiologist or surgeon believe surgery within 6 hours of eligibility criteria met would not be safe;

patients on a therapeutic vitamin K antagonist with a history of heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT);

patients with peri-prosthetic fracture, open fracture or bilateral fractures;

patients requiring an emergency surgery for another reason (e.g., subdural hematoma);
