Emergent procedure
Emergent procedure has been studied in 2 papers since 2021: 2 observational studies in people; 1 in the past year. The newest paper, Nov 5, 2025: “Low-energy vertebral fractures requiring a fusion in the elderly associate higher mortality than high-energy injuries”.

“smoking cessation was also associated with undergoing an emergent procedure (30-day odds ratio [OR], 1.52; 95% CI, 1.16-1.99; 1-year OR, 1.41; 95% CI, 1.01-1.97)”
None of its findings points the other way.

Emergent procedure raises the risk of mortality in humans.
“Multivariable analysis identified low-energy mechanism, Charlson comorbidity index score, and emergent procedures as independent risk factors for mortality.”
