Propensity Score–Matched Comparison of Postoperative Adverse Outcomes Between Geriatric Patients Given a General or a Neuraxial Anesthetic for Hip Surgery: A Population-Based Study

Background:The effects of the mode of anesthesia on major adverse postoperative outcomes in geriatric patients are still inconclusive. The authors hypothesized that a neuraxial anesthetic (NA) rather than a general anesthetic (GA) would yield better in-hospital postoperative outcomes for geriatric p
