<h4>Background</h4>Trapeziometacarpal (TMC) osteoarthritis can be painful and cause disability for patients. Total joint replacement of the TMC joint provides a pseudo arthrosis with good restoration of the thumb motion and pain relief in most patients. But there is also a risk of no improvement following the operation. The purpose of this study was to identify patients at risk of no clinically important improvement following operative treatment of osteoarthritis of the TMC joint.<h4>Methods</h4 ...[more]

Project description:Background and purpose - Revision surgery after trapeziometacarpal arthroplasty is sometimes required. Varying revision rates and outcomes have been reported in rather small patient series. Data on risk factors for revision surgery, on the final outcome of revision, and possible factors affecting the outcome of revision are also limited. We evaluated these factors in 50 patients. Patients and methods - From 1,142 trapeziometacarpal arthroplasties performed during a 10-year period, 50 patients with 65 revision surgeries were retrospectively identified and invited to participate in a follow-up study involving subjective, objective, and radiologic evaluation. The revision rate, risk factors for revision, and factors affecting the outcome of revision were analyzed. Results - The revision rate was 5%. Scaphometacarpal impingement was the most common reason for revision surgery. Patient age ≤ 55 years was a risk factor with a revision rate of 9% in this age group, whereas an operation on both thumbs during the follow-up period was a negative risk factor for revision surgery. There was no difference in revision risk between ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition with or without a bone tunnel. 9 patients had multiple revision procedures and their final outcome did not differ significantly from patients revised only once. Most of the patients felt subjectively that they had benefited from revision surgery and the subjective outcome measures (QuickDash and pain VAS) and the Conolly score were in the same range as previously described for revision trapeziometacarpal arthroplasty. Interpretation - Age ≤ 55 years is a risk factor for revision surgery. The type of primary surgery does not affect the risk of revision surgery and multiple revision procedures do not result in worse outcomes than cases revised only once. Mechanical pain caused by contact between the metacarpal and scaphoid is the most common indication for revision surgery. In general, patients seem to benefit from revision surgery for trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis.

Project description:BackgroundTrapeziometacarpal (TMC) arthritis is an expected part of ageing to which most patients adapt well. Patients who do not adapt to TMC arthritis may be offered operative treatment. The factors associated with reoperation after TMC arthroplasty are incompletely understood. The purpose of this study was to determine the rate of, the underlying reasons for, and the factors associated with unplanned reoperation after TMC arthroplasty.MethodsIn this retrospective study, we included all adult patients who had TMC arthroplasty for TMC arthritis at 1 of 3 large urban area hospitals between January 2000 and December 2009. Variables were inserted into a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model to determine factors associated with unplanned reoperation, and the Kaplan-Meier curve was used to estimate and describe the probability of unplanned reoperation over time.ResultsAmong 458 TMC arthroplasties, 19 (4%) had an unplanned reoperation; 16 of 19 (84%) for persistent pain and two-thirds within the first year. The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that unplanned reoperation was independently associated with younger age, surgeon inexperience, and index procedure type.ConclusionsSurgeons should be aware as well as patients should be informed that as many as 4% are offered or request a second surgery, usually for persistent pain and often within the 1-year window when additional improvement is anticipated.

Project description:BackgroundThe purpose of this study is to evaluate and redefine patients at high risk for increased resource utilization and complications after total joint arthroplasty (TJA), so interventions may focus on patients standing to receive the most benefit.Material and methodsThis is a retrospective study of 787 patients undergoing primary unilateral TJA from September 1, 2020, to September 31, 2021. Patients were deemed to be at "high risk" based on criteria derived from published literature and triaged to an enhanced preoperative education program. Patients that were discharged to a skilled nursing facility, had a length of stay ≥ 2 days, returned to the emergency department, or readmitted within 30 days were classified as having a composite outcome. A univariate analysis compared patients who did and did not experience the composite outcome, and multivariate regression was performed to evaluate predictors of this endpoint.ResultsDifferences in rates of 5 of the 28 risk factors were present between patients who did and did not experience composite outcomes. After controlling for other factors, African American race, planned discharge to skilled nursing facility, mental health conditions or drug use, cardiac, and neurologic conditions were predictive of the composite outcome. Patients who were reclassified as "high risk" with 1 or more of these characteristics, experienced longer length of stay and lower rates of home discharge than the rest of the population.ConclusionThis study presents a profile of high-risk TJA patients that can be incorporated into clinical practice for risk stratification and targeted intervention.

Project description:PurposeThe purpose of this hospital-based case-control study was to evaluate the risk factors for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in Chinese patients.MethodFrom January 2000 to December 2012, 45 patients undergoing THA and TKA who developed PJI were recruited for case subjects; controls were 252 without PJI, matched by year of index for surgery and type of surgery. Conditional logistic regressions were run to compute odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).ResultsDemographic factors and comorbid conditions associated with an increased adjusted risk of PJI (in decreasing order of significance) were diabetes (OR?=?5.47, 95% CI: 1.77-16.97; p?=?0.003), age (65-75 vs. 45-65 years) (OR?=?3.36, 95% CI: 1.30-8.69; p?=?0.013), BMI (?28 vs. 18.5-28 kg/m2) (OR?=?2.77, 95% CI: 1.20-6.40; p?=?0.017), place of residence (rural) (OR?=?2.63, 95% CI: 1.13-6.10; p?=?0.025) and alcohol abuse (OR?=?2.95, 95% CI: 1.06-8.23; p?=?0.039).ConclusionPatients with diabetes, older age, BMI of ?28 kg/m2 and alcohol abuse or living in rural areas, had increased PJI risk. Additional systematic large-scale studies are needed to verify these results.

Project description:BackgroundPeriprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are dreaded complications of total joint arthroplasties. The risk of developing PJIs is likely to be influenced by several patient factors such as sociodemographic characteristics, body mass index (BMI), and medical and surgical histories. However, the nature and magnitude of the long-term longitudinal associations between these patient-related factors and risk of developing PJIs are uncertain.ObjectiveTo conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the associations between several patient-related factors and PJI.Data sourcesMEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and reference lists of relevant studies from inception to September 2015.Study selectionLongitudinal studies with at least one-year of follow-up for PJIs after total joint arthroplasty.Data extraction and synthesisTwo investigators extracted data on study characteristics, methods, and outcomes. A consensus was reached with involvement of a third. The relative risk (RR) with 95% confidence intervals was used as the summary measure of association across studies. Study-specific RRs with 95% confidence intervals were meta-analysed using random effect models and were grouped by study-level characteristics.ResultsSixty-six observational (23 prospective cohort and 43 retrospective cohort or case-control) studies with data on 512,508 participants were included. Comparing males to females and smokers to non-smokers, the pooled RRs for PJI were 1.36 (1.18-1.57) and 1.83 (1.24-2.70) respectively. There was no evidence of any significant associations of PJI with age and high alcohol intake. Comparing BMI ≥ 30 versus < 30 kg/m(2); ≥ 35 versus < 35 kg/m(2); and ≥ 40 versus < 40 kg/m(2); the pooled RRs were 1.60 (1.29-1.99); 1.53 (1.22-1.92); and 3.68 (2.25-6.01) respectively. Histories of diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, depression, steroid use, and previous joint surgery were also associated with increased risk of PJI. The results remained similar when grouped by relevant study level characteristics.ConclusionsSeveral potentially modifiable patient-related factors are associated with the risk of developing PJIs. Identifying patients with these risk factors who are due to have arthroplasty surgery and modulating these risk factors might be essential in reducing the incidence of PJI. Further research is however warranted to assess the potential clinical utility of these risk factors as risk assessment tools for PJI.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO 2015: CRD42015023485.

Project description:BackgroundThe validated Arthroplasty Risk Score (ARS) predicts the need for postoperative triage to an intensive care setting. We hypothesized that the ARS may also predict hospital length of stay (LOS), discharge disposition, and episode-of-care cost (EOCC).MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed a series of 704 patients undergoing primary total hip and knee arthroplasty over 17 months. Patient characteristics, 90-day EOCC, LOS, and readmission rates were compared before and after ARS implementation.ResultsARS implementation was associated with fewer patients going to a skilled nursing or rehabilitation facility after discharge (63% vs 74%, P = .002). There was no difference in LOS, EOCC, readmission rates, or complications. While the adoption of the ARS did not change the mean EOCC, ARS >3 was predictive of high EOCC outlier (odds ratio 2.65, 95% confidence interval 1.40-5.01, P = .003). Increased ARS correlated with increased EOCC (P = .003).ConclusionsImplementation of the ARS was associated with increased disposition to home. It was predictive of high EOCC and should be considered in risk adjustment variables in alternative payment models.

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:BackgroundEnhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program advocates implementation of perioperative goal-directed fluid therapy and reduced application of colloidal fluids. It should be used reasonably selectively in high-risk patients despite the clear efficacy of human albumin (HA). Therefore, it is vital to identify the risk factors for the use of HA. This study aims to determine the incidence and risk factors of HA administration in patients undergoing total hip or knee arthroplasty (THA, TKA).MethodsWe identified patients undergoing THA or TKA in multiple institutions from 2014 to 2016 and collected patient demographics and perioperative variables. The criterion of HA administration was defined as a postoperative albumin level < 32 g/L or 32 to 35 g/L for at-risk patients. We compared 14 variables between patients who received HA administration and those who did not after stratification by the preoperative albumin (pre-ALB) level. Multivariable regressions identified the independent risk factors associated with HA administration.ResultsIn total, 958 (20.3%) of 4713 patients undergoing THA and 410 (9.7%) of 4248 patients undergoing TKA received HA administration. In addition to pre-ALB < 35 g/L, preoperative anemia (odds ratio [OR] 2.12, P = 0.001; OR 1.39, P < 0.001) and drain use (OR 3.33, P = 0.001; OR 4.25, P < 0.001) were also independent risk factors for HA administration after THA regardless pre-ALB < 35 g/L or not, and patients undergoing TKA diagnosed of rheumatoid arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis tended to receive HA administration regardless pre-ALB < 35 g/L or not (OR 3.67, P = 0.002; OR 2.06, P < 0.001).ConclusionsThe incidence of HA administration was high in patients undergoing THA or TKA, and several variables were risk factors for HA administration. This finding may aid surgeons in preoperatively identifying patients requiring HA administration and optimizing perioperative managements.

Project description:BackgroundCardiac complication represents a major cause of morbidity and mortality after total joint arthroplasty, thus necessitating investigation into the associated risks in total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty. There remains a lack of clarity for many risk factors in the current literature. The aim of this systematic review is to assess the most recent published literature and identify the risk factors associated with cardiac complication in total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty.MethodsScopus, PubMed, CINHAL, and Cochrane were searched to identify studies published since 2008 reporting on risk factors associated with cardiac complication in elective primary in total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty in patients ?18?years old with osteoarthritis. Reported odds ratios, hazard ratios, and relative risk were the principal summary measures collected. The included studies were too heterogeneous to enable meta-analysis.ResultsFifteen studies were included in this systematic review. Increasing age and history of cardiac disease were found by most studies to be positively associated with risk of cardiac complication. There was no strong association found between obesity and cardiac complication. The evidence for other risk factors was less clear in the examined literature, although there is suggestive evidence for male gender and cerebrovascular disease increasing risk.ConclusionsIncreasing age and history of cardiac disease increases the risk of cardiac complication after total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty. Other risk factors commonly attributed to increased risk in non-cardiac surgery including hypertension and obesity require further evaluation in arthroplasty.Systematic review registrationA detailed protocol was published in the PROSPERO database (registration number CRD42018095887 ) for this systematic review.

Project description:BackgroundPeriprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a catastrophic complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Our meta-analysis aimed to identify the individual-related risk factors that predispose patients to PJI following primary THA.MethodsComprehensive literature retrieval from Pubmed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library was performed from inception to Feb 20th, 2021. Patient-related risk factors were compared as per the modifiable factors (BMI, smoke and alcohol abuse), non-modifiable factors (gender, age), and medical history characteristics, such as diabetes mellitus (DM), avascular necrosis (AVN) of femoral head, femoral neck fracture, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), cardiovascular disease (CVD), and osteoarthritis (OA) etc. The meta-analysis was applied by using risk ratios with 95% corresponding intervals. Sensitivity analysis and publication bias were performed to further assess the credibility of the results.ResultsOverall, 40 studies with 3,561,446 hips were enrolled in our study. By implementing cumulative meta-analysis, higher BMI was found associated with markedly increased PJI risk after primary THA [2.40 (2.01-2.85)]. Meanwhile, medical characteristics including DM [1.64 (1.25-2.21)], AVN [1.65 (1.07-2.56)], femoral neck fracture [1.75 (1.39-2.20)], RA [1.37 (1.23-1.54)], CVD [1.34 (1.03-1.74)], chronic pulmonary disease (CPD) [1.22 (1.08-1.37)], neurological disease [1.19 (1.05-1.35)], opioid use [1.53 (1.35-1.73)] and iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) [1.15 (1.13-1.17)] were also significantly correlated with higher rate of PJI. Conversely, dysplasia or dislocation [0.65 (0.45-0.93)], and OA [0.70 (0.62-0.79)] were protective factors. Of Note, female gender was protective for PJI only after longer follow-up. Besides, age, smoking, alcohol abuse, previous joint surgery, renal disease, hypertension, cancer, steroid use and liver disease were not closely related with PJI risk.ConclusionOur finding suggested that the individual-related risk factors for PJI after primary THA included high BMI, DM, AVN, femoral neck fracture, RA, CVD, CPD, neurological disease, opioid use and IDA, while protective factors were female gender, dysplasia/ dislocation and OA.
