Management and discharge outcomes
| DISCHARGE | PATIENTS TAKING OAC (N = 65) N (%) | CONTROL PATIENTS (N = 250) N (%) | P VALUE FOR OAC VS CONTROL PATIENTS | PATIENTS TAKING OAC NEEDING SURGERY (N = 16) N (%) | CONTROL PATIENTS NEEDING SURGERY (N = 34)* N (%) | P VALUE FOR OAC PATIENTS NEEDING SURGERY VS CONTROL PATIENTS NEEDING SURGERY |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Discharged home | 8 (12.3) | 54 (21.6) | .22 | 3 (18.8) | 5 (14.7) | .12 |
| Discharged to long-term care facility | 23 (35.4) | 93 (37.2) | .22 | 3 (18.8) | 15 (44.1) | .12 |
| Died in hospital | 34 (52.3) | 103 (41.2) | .03 | 10 (62.5) | 14 (41.2) | .04 |
OAC—oral anticoagulation.
↵* P = .04 for the difference between the number of patients taking OAC needing surgery and the number of control patients needing surgery.
