Project description:BackgroundPostoperative urinary retention (POUR) is a significant problem in total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Although risk factors for POUR have been well documented, they are ubiquitous in an aging total joint population, which makes risk stratification difficult. The purpose of this study was to determine if a high preoperative post-void bladder scan identifies patients at risk for POUR.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on all TJAs performed at a high-volume orthopedic center between December 2019 and February 2020. A total of 585 elective TJA patients received post-void bladder scans before surgery. Bladder scan volumes were correlated with catheterization via Chi-squared tests.ResultsA high post-void residual volume (PVRV > 50 ml) was associated with an increased risk of catheterization (23% vs 34%, chi-squared statistic = 6.2638, P value = .013), as was intravenous fluid volume (>1000 ml in knee, >2000 ml in hip). Catheterization rates were higher among total knee arthroplasty patients younger than 60 years (37% vs 24%, chi-squared statistic = 4.284, P value = .0385) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients older than 65 years (30% vs 18%, chi-squared statistic = 3.292, P value = .0695). Multiple risk factors were additive.ConclusionsHigher PVRV and intravenous fluids were independently associated with catheterization after TJA. Younger age was associated with greater risk in total knee arthroplasty, while older age increased risk in THA. We propose that a preoperative bladder scan to detect a high PVRV may provide clinical utility to identify patients likely to develop POUR.

Project description:BackgroundPostoperative delirium (PD), as an acute brain failure, is widely reported as a very common postoperative complication, and it is closely associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Recently, malnutrition is reported as one of the risk factors for PD. The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is a simple method for nutritional evaluation. However, few studies have discussed the effectiveness of PNI as a nutritional assessment in predicting PD after primary total joint arthroplasty (TJA). The aim of this study is to investigate potential risk factors including PNI for PD following primary TJA.MethodsA retrospective analysis of 994 patients was performed to identify risk factors associated with PD after primary TJA by using univariate and multivariate analyses. A receiver operating characteristic curve and the area under the curve were applied to evaluate the significant results of the multivariate analysis and the optimal cutoff value (CV).ResultsPostoperatively, sixty-seven patients (67/994, 6.7 %) experienced PD. Univariate analysis demonstrated that operative time, duration of anesthesia, age, hypertension, serum albumin, and PNI differed between the PD and non-PD groups (P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the preoperative PNI (odds ratio [OR]: 0.908; 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 0.840-0.983; CV: 47.05), age of patients (OR: 1.055; 95 % CI: 1.024-1.087; CV: 73.5 years), and hypertension (OR: 1.798; 95 % CI: 1.047-3.086), were independently associated with PD (P < 0.05).ConclusionsA low preoperative PNI associated with malnutrition was demonstrated to be an independent risk factor for PD following primary TJA. Patients with preoperative low PNI should be cautioned and provided with adequate nutritional intervention to reduce postoperative PD.

Project description:BackgroundPatient satisfaction with total joint arthroplasty (TJA) remains a challenge, with up to 20% of patients expressing dissatisfaction despite good clinical outcomes. This study aims to assess patient expectations and experiences prior to and after undergoing a primary TJA.MethodsA 13-question survey assessing patient expectations around surgical risks, logistics, physical therapy (PT), and pain was distributed in the clinics of multiple surgeons at an academic center. Each patient was categorized as either preoperative or postoperative, with similar questions for both groups. No identifying information was collected.ResultsOne hundred eight preoperative and 344 postoperative responses were collected. Preoperatively, 91.3% of patients felt they had enough time to ask questions compared to 98.5% (P = .01) postoperatively. Preoperative patients named risks of TJA more accurately (P < .00001). Expectations of long-term pain differed: 48.3% of preoperative patients expected no pain and 1.7% expected to be unable to move; postoperatively, 7.3% (P < .0001) reported no pain and 10.3% (P = .03) were unable to move; 17.3% of patients finished PT within 2 weeks, compared to 1.7% who believed this was possible (P =.0027). A total of 73.1% of postoperative patients requested additional weeks of PT. Only 52.1% or patients had a long-term follow-up plan in place.ConclusionsExpectations vary in patients undergoing TJA. Preoperative patients may have unrealistic expectations regarding postoperative pain and mobility. The need for more PT and the lack of a long-term follow-up plan highlight the importance of comprehensive perioperative communication to align expectations and potentially improve satisfaction and follow-up compliance.

Project description:The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recently released their 2017 Guideline for the Prevention of Surgical Site Infection. One of their recommendations is the ordering of a single dose of preoperative prophylactic antibiotics with no subsequent postoperative dosing; this recommendation includes perioperative antibiotics for patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty. At this time, the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS) does not agree with this recommendation vis-a-vis total joint arthroplasty because it contradicts current international standards of care with limited evidence and study. AAHKS still recommends postoperative antibiotics and recommends further research. Both the Board of Counselors and Board of Specialty Societies of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons have endorsed this AAHKS recommendation through an advisory opinion; the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Board of Directors adopted that advisory opinion in June 2017. A 2017 Foundation for Arthroplasty Research and Education prospective, randomized study is being undertaken to provide level I evidence for or against single-dose vs 24-hour antibiotic prophylaxis in primary total knee arthroplasty.

Project description:BackgroundRisk-factor identification related to chronic opioid use after surgery may facilitate interventions mitigating postoperative opioid consumption. We evaluated the relationship between opioid use preceding total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and chronic use postoperatively, and the risk of chronic opioid use after total joint arthroplasty.MethodsAll primary THAs and TKAs performed during a 6-month period were identified. Opioid prescription and utilization data (in oxycodone equivalents) were determined via survey and electronic records. Relationship between preoperative opioid use and continued use >90 days after surgery was assessed via Chi-square, with significance set at P < .05.ResultsA total of 415 patients met inclusion criteria (240 THAs and 175 TKAs). Of the 240 THAs, 199 (82.9%) patients and of the 175 TKAs, 144 (82.3%) patients agreed to participate. Forty-three of 199 (21.6%) THA patients and 22 of 144 (15.3%) TKA patients used opioids within 30 days preoperatively. Nine of 199 (4.5%) THA and 10 of 144 (6.9%) TKA patients had continued use of opioids for >90 days postoperatively. Preoperative opioid consumption was significantly associated with chronic use postoperatively for THA (P = .011) and TKA (P = .024). Five of 43 (11.6%) THA and 4 of 22 (18.2%) TKA patients with preoperative opioid use had continued use for >90 days postoperatively. For opioid naïve patients, 2.6% (4/156) of THA and 4.9% (6/122) of TKA patients had chronic use postoperatively.ConclusionsPreoperative opioid use was associated with nearly 5-fold and 4-fold increase in percentage of patients with chronic opioid use after THA and TKA, respectively. Surgeons should counsel patients regarding this risk and consider strategies to eliminate preoperative opioid use.

Project description:BackgroundDuplex ultrasound is routinely used to evaluate suspected deep venous thrombosis after total joint arthroplasty. When there is a clinical suspicion for a pulmonary embolism, a chest angiogram (chest CTA) is concomitantly obtained.Questions/purposesTwo questions were addressed: First, for the population of patients who receive duplex ultrasound after total joint arthroplasty, what is the rate of positive results? Second, for these patients, how many of these also undergo chest CTA for clinical suspicion of pulmonary embolus and how many of these tests are positive? Furthermore, what is the correlation between duplex ultrasound results and chest CTA results?MethodsA retrospective chart review was conducted of total joint replacement patients in 2011 at a single institution. Inclusion criteria were adult patients who underwent a postoperative duplex ultrasonography for clinical suspicion of deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Demographic data, result of duplex scan, clinical indications for obtaining the duplex scan, and DVT prophylaxis used were recorded. Additionally, if a chest CTA was obtained for clinical suspicion for pulmonary embolus, results and clinical indication for obtaining the test were recorded. The rate of positive results for duplex ultrasonography and chest CTA was computed and correlated based on clinical indications.ResultsTwo hundred ninety-five patients underwent duplex ultrasonography of which only 0.7% were positive for a DVT. One hundred three patients underwent a chest CTA for clinical suspicion of a pulmonary embolism (PE) of which 26 revealed a pulmonary embolus, none of which had a positive duplex ultrasound.ConclusionPostoperative duplex scans have a low rate of positive results. A substantial number of patients with negative duplex results subsequently underwent chest CTA for clinical suspicion for which a pulmonary embolus was found, presumably resulting from a DVT despite negative duplex ultrasound result. A negative duplex ultrasonography should not rule out the presence of a DVT which can embolize to the lungs and thus should not preclude further workup when clinical suspicion exists for a pulmonary embolus.

Project description:BackgroundPostoperative urinary retention (POUR) in total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is common. However, risk factors for POUR and its consequences, specifically on postoperative renal function, have not been well defined.MethodsWe performed a review of prospectively collected data on consecutive adult patients undergoing primary total joint arthroplasty from August 2014 to December 2015. Catheters were placed preoperatively and removed on the first or second postoperative day. The exclusion criterion was traumatic catheter insertion or the presence of fracture or neoplasm. Univariate and multiple logistic regression identified associations with POUR and its invasive therapies. Subgroup analysis of renal function by incidence of preoperative bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and POUR was performed with nonparametric testing.ResultsA total of 591 operations met inclusion criteria. The incidence of POUR was 6.4% and was directly related to a positive history of BOO (odds ratio [OR]: 4.15) and increased the duration of urinary catheterization (OR: 1.04). These factors, in addition to preoperative incontinence (OR: 8.36, 28.69) and lengthier hospitalizations (OR: 1.37, 1.30), were significantly associated with intermittent straight catheterization and reinsertion of an indwelling catheter to treat POUR. Serum creatinine increased with combined preoperative BOO and POUR (+0.22 mg/dL) but was preserved in others (+0.02-0.04 mg/dL) (P < 0.01).ConclusionsPreoperative BOO and longer catheterization increased the risk of POUR and were associated with the use of invasive modalities to treat POUR. POUR was associated with a longer hospitalization and impaired renal function in those with preoperative BOO; therefore, renal function should be monitored closely and nephrotoxic medications used cautiously when using urinary catheters in this patient population.Level of evidenceRetrospective Analysis, Level IV.

Project description:ObjectivesA key predictor for developing chronic residual pain after total knee or hip arthroplasty (TKA/THA) is sensitisation. Sensitisation can be defined as an 'increased responsiveness of nociceptive neurons in the nervous system'. Aim of this study is to investigate the effects of preoperative treatment with duloxetine in sensitised knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA) patients on postoperative chronic residual pain up to 1 year after arthroplasty.SettingA multicentre, pragmatic, prospective, randomised clinical trial was conducted in three secondary care hospitals in the Netherlands.ParticipantsPatients with primary knee/hip OA who were planned for TKA/THA were screened using the modified painDETECT Questionnaire. Patients whose painDETECT score indicated that sensitisation may be present were eligible for participation. 111 participants were included and randomly assigned 1:1 to an intervention or control group. The intervention group received additional duloxetine treatment, the control group did not receive any additional treatment but was allowed to continue with any pain medication they were already taking.InterventionsPreoperative oral treatment for 7 weeks with 60 mg/day of duloxetine was compared with usual care.Primary and secondary outcome measuresPrimary outcome measure was pain at 6 months after arthroplasty, assessed with the Pain Subscale of the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) or the Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) with a 0-100 scale. Secondary outcome measures were Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and neuropathic-like pain measured using the modified PainDETECT Questionnaire. Longitudinal data collection included time points directly after duloxetine treatment, 1-day preoperatively, and 6 weeks, 6 months and 12 months postoperatively.ResultsMean improvement in the KOOS/HOOS pain subscale at 6 months postoperatively was 37 (SD 28.1) in the intervention group and 43 (SD 26.5) in the control group. No statistically significant difference was found in change score 6 months postoperatively between the two groups (p=0.280). 12 patients from the intervention group (21%) discontinued duloxetine due to adverse effects.ConclusionsPreoperative targeted treatment with duloxetine in end-stage knee and hip OA patients with sensitisation does not influence postoperative chronic residual pain after TKA/THA.Trial registration numberNTR4744.
