Total Hip Arthroplasty for Developmental Dysplasia of Hip vs Osteoarthritis: A Propensity Matched Pair Analysis.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Background:The purpose of this study was to use the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program to compare the perioperative and postoperative outcomes after total hip arthroplasty (THA) for DDH and primary OA via a propensity-matched pair analysis and the valuation of THA between both groups. Material and Methods:All patients who underwent THA between 2008 and 2016 were identified from National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database via the current procedural terminology (CPT) code. Patients were further identified and stratified based on International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems-9/International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems-10 diagnosis codes for primary OA (n = 115,166) and DDH (n = 603), which included codes for congenital hip dislocation, hip dysplasia, or juvenile osteochondrosis. Demographic variables were used to create 557 propensity-matched pairs. Results:The DDH group was associated with a significantly longer operative time (120.3 vs 95.9 min), higher postoperative transfusion rate (12% vs 6.6%), and longer hospital length of stay (2.8 vs 2.5 days) compared with the primary OA group (P < .001, P < .001, and P = .002, respectively). There were no statistically significant differences found between the two groups with respect to inpatient complications, discharge disposition (P = .123), readmissions (P = .615), or reoperations (P = .404). Conclusions:Health policy makers should be cognizant of the higher complexity of THA for DDH when determining whether DDH and primary OA should be in the same bundle. Owing to the limitations of our data set, all the observed associations are likely an underestimate of the true risk posed to patients with severe DDH, as these patients were unable to be stratified in the present analysis.
