Core Tip
Core Tip: This is a retrospective cohort study. We used the propensity score matching to compare the preoperative data of retrospectively selected patients between groups. A total of 309 patients were selected to evaluate whether different anesthesia methods affect the incidence of postoperative complications of hip surgery in elderly patients. The current results showed no difference in postoperative complications between elderly patients undergoing hip surgery under spinal anesthesia and general anesthesia.
