Short summary
We studied patients with infected hip replacements to determine whether delays between hospital admission and  surgery affected recovery. By reviewing patient records from a specialty center, we found that longer delays were linked to a higher risk of death within 90 d. Older age, poorer overall health, and low blood levels also increased the chance of complications or repeat surgery. These results suggest that prompt treatment and careful health preparation can improve outcomes.
