Thirty-Day Outcomes After Bilateral Total Hip Arthroplasty in a Nationwide Cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Approximately 42% of patients with end-stage osteoarthritis have bilateral disease. Although bilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) is physiologically demanding, certain patients may benefit from simultaneous rather than staged bilateral procedures. This study examines the intraoperative differences and 30-day outcomes in patients receiving bilateral THA compared with those who underwent unilateral THA.

Methods

Patients undergoing THA were selected from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database from 2008 to 2015. Patients were selected according to those with primary and concurrent coding for Current Procedural Terminology 27130. Thirty-day complications were recorded, and multivariate analyses were performed to determine whether concurrent THA was a risk factor for poor outcomes.

Results

A total of 97,804 patients and 587 patients who underwent unilateral and bilateral THA, respectively, were identified. Patients who underwent bilateral procedures were younger (57.3 vs 64.6 years, P < .001), were of lower body mass index (29.2 vs 30.2, P < .001), and had fewer comorbidities than patients who underwent unilateral procedures. Length of stay was not increased for bilateral recipients (3.13 vs 2.93 days, P = .308), although fewer were discharged to home (62.8% vs 77.6%, P < .001). The bilateral recipients required postoperative transfusions at a higher rate (29.8% vs 10.9%, P < .001) and had an increased incidence of deep wound infections on univariate analysis (1.2% vs 0.3%, P = .002). There was no increased risk of superficial infection, medical complications, or thromboembolic events for the bilateral cohort.

Conclusions

Although bilateral THA recipients are younger with fewer preoperative comorbidities, bilateral THA is associated with an increased rate of transfusion in a nationwide setting. With this knowledge, specific interventions should be instituted to target these procedure-specific risks.

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.
