Perioperative complications in patients with sleep apnea following primary total shoulder arthroplasty: An analysis of 33,366 patients.

ABSTRACT: Introduction:The study evaluated whether sleep apnea (SA) patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) are at greater odds of: 1) medical complications; 2) implant-related complications; 3) readmission rates; and 4) costs. Methods:Complications and readmissions were assessed using logistic regression analysis. Welch's t-test was used to compare CCI and cost between cohorts. Results:33,366 patients equally distributed in both cohorts. SA increased the odds of medical [Odds-ratio (OR)]: 2.52, p?

Project description:Background:With an increasing volume of primary total shoulder arthroplasties (TSA), the number of revision TSA cases is expected to increase as well. However, the postoperative medical morbidity of revision TSA has not been clearly described. Questions/Purposes:The purpose of this study was to determine the rate of postoperative complications following revision TSA, relative to primary TSA. In addition, we sought to identify independent predictors of complications, as well as to compare operative time and postoperative length of stay between primary and revision TSA. Methods:Patients who underwent primary/revision TSA between 2005 and 2015 were identified in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program. Differences in complications, readmission rates, operative time, length of stay, and predictors of complications were evaluated using bivariate and multivariate analyses. Results:A total of 10,371 primary TSA (95.4%) and 496 revision TSA cases (4.6%) were identified. The overall complication rate was 6.5% in primary and 10.7% in revision TSA patients (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis identified an increased risk of any complication (odds ratio 1.73, p < 0.001), major complication (2.08, p = 0.001), and wound infection (3.45, p = 0.001) in revision TSA patients, relative to primary cases. Operative time was increased in revision cases (mean ± standard deviation, 125 ± 62.5), relative to primary (115 ± 47.7, p < 0.001). Age > 75, female sex, history of diabetes or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and American Society of Anesthesiologists classification ? 3 were associated with increased risk of any complication. Smoking history was the only significant predictor of wound infection. Conclusion:Revision TSA, in comparison to primary, poses an increased risk of postoperative complications, particularly wound infections. A history of smoking was an independent predictor of wound infections.

Project description:BackgroundPrior studies have suggested that preoperative dehydration increases odds of perioperative complications in several areas of orthopedic surgery. This study aimed to evaluate whether preoperative hydration status is associated with the incidence of short-term complications after primary total joint arthroplasty.MethodsThe 2012-2019 National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database was used to explore the relationship between preoperative dehydration (ratio of preoperative BUN divided by preoperative Creatinine (BUN/Creatinine) > 20) and perioperative outcomes of total hip (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients. Univariate comparisons and multivariate regression analyses were conducted to identify specific complications that occurred more often in patients with preoperative dehydration.ResultsOf 188,629 THA and 332,485 TKA patients, 46.3 and 47.0% had preoperative dehydration, respectively. After controlling for demographics and comorbidities, dehydrated THA patients were no more likely to experience a complication compared to their non-dehydrated counterparts (relative risk [RR] = 0.97, 99.7% Confidence Interval [CI]: 0.92-1.03, P = 0.138) nor increased risk of blood transfusion (RR = 1.02, CI = 0.96-1.08, P = 0.408). Similar to THA patients, dehydrated TKA patients were not more likely to have a complication after surgery (RR = 0.97, CI = 0.92-1.03, P = 0.138) and were at no greater risk of transfusion (RR = 1.02, CI = 0.96-1.07, P = 0.408). A sub-analysis covering only patients with BUN and Cr values determined within 24 h after surgery was performed and similarly found no significant increase in perioperative complications or transfusion.ConclusionOverall, preoperative dehydration in patients undergoing THA/TKA did not appear to increase risk of transfusion or other perioperative complications. Further research is needed to characterize the role of hydration prior to elective total joint arthroplasty.

Project description:BackgroundRecent studies show an increase in the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) worldwide and a concomitant rise in the number of revision total knee arthroplasty (RTKA). The literature evaluating the association between IDA and perioperative outcomes following RTKA are limited. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine whether IDA patients undergoing RTKA have higher rates of (1) in-hospital lengths of stay (LOS), (2) complications; and (3) costs.MethodsUsing International Classification of Disease, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) and Current Procedural Terminology (CPT), a retrospective query was performed from January 1st, 2005 to March 31st, 2014. The inclusion criteria consisted of those patients who have IDA undergoing RTKA. Study group patients were 1:5 ratio matched to a comparison cohort by age, sex, and various comorbidities: coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, obesity, and tobacco use, yielding a total of 106,534 patients within the study (n = 17,784) and control (n = 88,750) cohorts. Outcomes assessed included: in-hospital LOS, costs of care, and medical complications. Multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to calculate the odds-ratios (OR) and respective 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). Welch's t-tests were used to compare in-hospital LOS and costs of care. Following Bonferroni-correction, a P-value less than 0.001 was considered statistically significant.ResultsIDA patients undergoing RTKA were found to have significantly higher in-hospital LOS (4-days vs. 3-days, P < 0.0001). Additionally, IDA patients were found to have significantly higher odds (OR) of medical complications (OR: 5.29, P < 0.0001) such as: pneumonia (OR: 6.86, P < 0.0001), respiratory failures (OR: 5.95, P < 0.0001), myocardial infarctions (OR: 4.31, P < 0.0001) and other complications. Furthermore, IDA patients incurred significantly higher day of surgery ($16,976.01 vs. $14,515.81, P < 0.0001) and 90-day costs ($22,548.71 vs. $16,819.15, P < 0.0001).ConclusionThe study demonstrated IDA patients undergoing RTKA have higher rates of in-hospital LOS, costs of care, and medical complications. Orthopedic surgeons and other healthcare professionals can use this information to adequately educate these patients of the potential complications following their procedure.
