Project description:OBJECTIVE:To compare the risks of complications of primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) between patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and those without AS. METHODS:In this population-based study, we examined data from 1999 to 2013 of US Medicare beneficiaries (ages <75 years old) with AS and a comparison group without AS who had undergone primary THA. Complications were based on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services 2013 THA Complication Measure, which included myocardial infarction, pneumonia, or sepsis within 7 days; surgical site bleeding, pulmonary embolus, or venous thrombosis within 30 days; or mechanical complications or local infection within 90 days. Mortality within 90 days, revision arthroplasty within 1 year, long length of stay, discharge to a care facility, and readmission within 90 days were also examined. RESULTS:The study included 2,773 patients with AS and 107,341 patients without AS who had THA. Perioperative complications, 30-day complications, and local infections were rare in both groups (<1%). Mechanical complications and revision arthroplasty were uncommon in both groups. Ninety-day mortality was lower among patients with AS than those without AS (0.36% versus 0.7%). Patients with AS were more likely to be discharged to a care facility, and slightly more likely to have a long length of stay. Likelihood of a long stay was lower at hospitals that performed ?100 THAs per year, but other complications were not associated with hospital volume. CONCLUSION:Complications after primary THA are uncommon in patients with AS and similar in frequency to those without AS. Ninety-day mortality was lower among patients with AS.

Project description:To determine the effects of ankylosing spondylitis (AS)-associated hip damages on the outcome measurements after total hip arthroplasty (THA).The medical records of 122 patients with AS (181 hips) who underwent THA were retrospectively reviewed. The mean follow-up was 43.9 (32-129) months. The types and degrees of hip damages were evaluated by preoperative hip X-rays. The patients were grouped according to the satisfaction degree after the operation. Univariable and multivariable statistical analyses were conducted.The intraclass correlation coefficients for the assessment between the 2 reviewers in the study were 0.86 to 0.97. Cox regression showed that femoral head erosion severity had an effect on the recovery time of independent walking without crutches postoperatively (odds ratio = 1.467, 95% confidence interval: 1.050-2.409, P = .025). The mean time to recover independent walking in the severe femoral head erosion group was 7.3 ± 0.9 weeks, which was 4.6 ± 0.4 weeks longer than in the non-severe femoral head erosion group, as confirmed by the log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test (Chi-squared = 11.684, P = .001). The multivariable analysis showed that higher acetabular sclerosis scores correlated with lower postoperative dissatisfaction risk (odds ratio = 0.322, 95% confidence interval: 0.136-0.764). The multiple linear regression analysis showed that postoperative range of motion (ROM) improvement was affected by preoperative ROM of the hip, space narrowing degree, and ceramic-ceramic material for the weight-bearing surface (F = 179.81, P < .001), with preoperative ROM of the hip having the greatest impact.Severe femoral head erosion prolongs the recovery time of independent walking after THA. Acetabular sclerosis is not associated with poor outcomes in patients with AS-associated hip damage undergoing THA.

Project description:BackgroundFused hips with spine stiffness in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) reduce spinopelvic mobility. We aimed to assess spinopelvic mobility pattern and acetabular anteversion in AS after total hip arthroplasty (THA).Material and methodsNinety-four stiff hips in 58 AS individuals (mean age: 37.05) who underwent THA between 2012 and 2018 with a modified lateral approach were included. Twenty-three hips were fused, and 71 hips had mean flexion of 37.67°. Pelvic tilt, pelvic inclination, sacral slope (SS), and lumbar lordosis were correlated with THA, and functional outcomes were assessed at 34.6-month mean follow-up.ResultsThirty-seven had a stuck sitting pattern with stuck standing seen in 4 individuals. SS standing before and after THA were 25.08° and 27.30°. SS sitting was 8.99° compared to 16.80°. SS from sitting to standing was reduced (17.7°) in 17 individuals. Spine stiffness in extension was seen in 4 out of 37. Mean acetabular inclination after THA was 42.67°, and acetabular anteversion was 17.48°. Flexion after THA improved to mean 98.47°. Changes in SS from sitting to standing were correlated with THA (r-value: 0.93, P-value: .0001). The Harris Hip Score improved from 25.31 to 82.39 (P-value <.05), and the mean 12-item Short Form Survey at review was 52.18 and 59.55 (physical and mental components). The mean Western Ontario and Mc Master Universities Arthritis Index score was 17.56.ConclusionsSpinopelvic mobility change was <10° after THA in AS, stuck sitting was seen in 37 of 58 (63.8%), and stuck standing was seen in 4 of 58 (6.9%), including spine stiffness in flexion or extension. Acetabular anteversion assessed was 17.48° (standard deviation: 4.41), with significant functional improvement.Level of evidenceLevel 4.

Project description:Background Limited information exists comparing the perioperative complications of the different inflammatory arthropathies (IAs) after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Our study was aimed to (1) compare perioperative complications and (2) determine the most common complications between the different IA subtypes compared with patients with primary osteoarthritis (OA) undergoing primary THA and (3) find whether the difference in postoperative complications also exists between different IA after THA. Methods The Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) was used to identify patients with Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and primary OA undergoing unilateral THA between 2005 and 2014. Preoperative diagnosis, comorbidities, and postoperative complications were determined using the International Classification of Disease Clinical Modification version 9 codes. The prevalence of perioperative complications was compared between patients with IA and primary OA and between patients with different IA. Results When compared with patients with primary OA, patients with RA had significantly more postoperative surgical and medical complications. Yet there are just several medical complications differences exist between PA and primary OA or AS and primary OA, including stroke and acute renal failure for psoriatic arthritis and urinary tract infection and pneumonia for AS. What is more, there were also several differences in perioperative medical complications seen in patients with different IA. Conclusion Except for patients with RA, the differences in perioperative complications was small between patients with IA and primary OA and between patients with different types of IA.

Project description:ObjectiveAnkylosing spondylitis (AS) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) often affect the hip and/or knee. If effective, treatments might reduce risk of total hip or total knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA). We evaluated risk of THA/TKA related to use of medical therapies in AS/PsA.MethodsWe conducted a nested case-control study using 1994-2018 data from the OptumLabs Data Warehouse, which includes deidentified medical and pharmacy claims, laboratory results, and enrollment records for commercial and Medicare Advantage enrollees. Among those with AS/PsA, THA/TKA cases were matched up to 4 controls by sex, age, AS/PsA diagnosis, diagnosis year, insurance type, obesity, and prior THA/TKA. We assessed AS/PsA treatment 6 months prior to THA/TKA, including disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi), alone or in combination, stratified by nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) use. We evaluated the relation of treatment to risk of THA/TKA using conditional logistical regression with adjustment for confounders.ResultsAmong 16,748 adults with AS, there were 444 THA/TKA cases and 1613 matched controls. Among 34,512 adults with PsA, there were 1003 cases and 3793 controls. Adjusted ORs for treatment category and THA/TKA ranged from 0.60 to 1.92; however, none were statistically significant. Results were similarly null in several sensitivity analyses.ConclusionOdds of THA/TKA were not reduced with any combinations of NSAIDs, DMARDs, or TNFi among persons with AS or PsA. Given current utilization patterns in this population of US adults with AS and PsA, these medical therapies did not appear to be associated with less end-stage peripheral joint damage.

Project description:IntroductionThe outcome following major arthroplasty surgeries in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) has tremendously improved over the past decades, due to substantial amelioration in the medical therapies and sophistication of available surgical modalities. Although various studies have already demonstrated the complication rates and challenges faced in AS patients undergoing THA, there is a substantial paucity of data on the actual healthcare burden associated with this disease, and the diverse factors which may affect it.MethodsUsing the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database (on the basis of ICD-10 CMP codes), patients undergoing THA between the years 2016 and 2019 were identified. These patients were then classified into two categories: group A: patients with a known diagnosis of AS; and group N: those without. The details regarding demographical information, associated co-morbidities, data pertaining to patients' hospital admissions including expenditure incurred, length of stay and complications encountered, were compared. In addition, propensity-score matching was performed to identify a 1:1 matched sample of THA patients without AS.ResultsOverall, 367,890 patients underwent THA; among whom, 501 (0.14%) were known AS patients (group A). Group A included a substantially higher proportion of patients belonging to younger age group (58.6 ± 13.4 versus 65.9 ± 11.4 years; p < 0.001), male sex (67.1% in group A vs 44.1% in group N; p < 0.001), and Asian ethnicity (p < 0.001). Group A patients had a substantially higher risk for longer duration of hospital stay (p < 0.03) and higher overall healthcare expenditure incurred (p < 0.001). As compared to group N, AS patients had a significantly higher risk for developing post-operative anemia [21.8% (group A) vs 11.8% (group N); p < 0.02]; and higher rate of periprosthetic infections [2.4% (group A) vs 1.0% (group N); p < 0.007].ConclusionPatients with AS require a significantly longer duration of hospital stay and higher admission-related expenditure following THA, as compared to the general population. These enhanced early health care-associated costs can be attributed to higher complication rates in AS patients. AS patients are prone to higher rates of anemia and peri-prosthetic infections during the early post-THA period.

Project description:BACKGROUND:C-reactive protein (CRP) level is one of the most widely used parameters to assess ankylosing spondylitis (AS), since CRP is associated with poor radiographic progression of AS patients. Recent studies have investigated the association between CRP gene variants and AS risk, but with conflicting findings. MATERIAL AND METHODS:We enrolled 232 AS cases and 314 controls in this case-control study. Next, we assessed the association of CRP gene rs3091244 polymorphism with the efficacy of etanercept for AS. Genotyping was done using a custom-by-design 48-Plex SNP scanTM Kit. RESULTS:CRP gene rs3091244 polymorphism was associated with an increased risk of AS in this Chinese population. Clinical indicators of AS patients including morning stiffness time, Bath AS function index (BASFI), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and CRP were significantly decreased after 12 weeks of etanercept treatment. Furthermore, AA genotype carriers showed higher values of VAS, BASDAI, BASFI, and CRP before etanercept treatment. AA genotype or A allele of rs3091244 polymorphism was associated with Ankylosing Spondylitis Assessment Study group response criteria 20 scores (ASAS20) and Assessment in SpondyloArthritis international Society 40 response (ASAS40) improvement. In addition, AA genotype carriers showed significantly higher CRP levels compared with genotype GG carriers (16.3 vs 8.8 mg/L). CONCLUSION:CRP gene rs3091244 polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of AS. Additionally, rs3091244 polymorphism could serve as a biomarker for good response to etanercept treatment in AS.

Project description:ObjectiveThis systematic review aims to summarise all the available evidence related to the association between pre-operative patient expectations (outcome expectations, process expectations and self efficacy expectations) and 5 different treatment outcomes (overall improvement, pain, function, stiffness and satisfaction) in patients with total knee or total hip arthroplasty at three different follow-op periods (>6 weeks; >6 weeks- ?6 months; >6 months).MethodsEnglish and Dutch language articles were identified through PubMed, EMBASE.com, PsycINFO, CINAHL and The Cochrane Library from inception to September 2012. Articles assessing the association between pre-operative patient expectations and treatment outcomes for TKA/THA in either adjusted or unadjusted analysis were included. Two reviewers, working independently, determined eligibility, rated methodological quality and extracted data on study design, population, expectation measurements, outcome measurements and strength of the associations. Methodological quality was rated by the same reviewers on a 19 item scale. The scores on the quality assessment were taken into account when drawing final conclusions.ResultsThe search strategy generated 2252 unique references, 18 articles met inclusion criteria. Scores on the methodological quality assessment ranged between 6% and 79%. Great variety was seen in definitions and measurement methods of expectations. No significant associations were found between patient expectations and overall improvement, satisfaction and stiffness. Both significant positive and non-significant associations were found for the association between expectations and pain and function.ConclusionsThere was no consistency in the association between patients' pre-operative expectations and treatment outcomes for TKA and THA indentified in this systematic review. There exists a need for a sound theoretical framework underlying the construct of 'patient expectations' and consistent use of valid measurement instruments to measure that construct in order to facilitate future research synthesis.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Metal-on-metal hip resurfacing was developed for younger, active patients as an alternative to THA, but it remains controversial. Study heterogeneity, inconsistent outcome definitions, and unstandardized outcome measures challenge our ability to compare arthroplasty outcomes studies. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES:We asked how early revisions or reoperations (within 5 years of surgery) and overall revisions, adverse events, and postoperative component malalignment compare among studies of metal-on-metal hip resurfacing with THA among patients with hip osteoarthritis. Secondarily, we compared the revision frequency identified in the systematic review with revisions reported in four major joint replacement registries. METHODS:We conducted a systematic review of English language studies published after 1996. Adverse events of interest included rates of early failure, time to revision, revision, reoperation, dislocation, infection/sepsis, femoral neck fracture, mortality, and postoperative component alignment. Revision rates were compared with those from four national joint replacement registries. Results were reported as adverse event rates per 1000 person-years stratified by device market status (in use and discontinued). Comparisons between event rates of metal-on-metal hip resurfacing and THA are made using a quasilikelihood generalized linear model. We identified 7421 abstracts, screened and reviewed 384 full-text articles, and included 236. The most common study designs were prospective cohort studies (46.6%; n = 110) and retrospective studies (36%; n = 85). Few randomized controlled trials were included (7.2%; n = 17). RESULTS:The average time to revision was 3.0 years for metal-on-metal hip resurfacing (95% CI, 2.95-3.1) versus 7.8 for THA (95% CI, 7.2-8.3). For all devices, revisions and reoperations were more frequent with metal-on-metal hip resurfacing than THA based on point estimates and CIs: 10.7 (95% CI, 10.1-11.3) versus 7.1 (95% CI, 6.7-7.6; p = 0.068), and 7.9 (95% CI, 5.4-11.3) versus 1.8 (95% CI, 1.3-2.2; p = 0.084) per 1000 person-years, respectively. This difference was consistent with three of four national joint replacement registries, but overall national joint replacement registries revision rates were lower than those reported in the literature. Dislocations were more frequent with THA than metal-on-metal hip resurfacing: 4.4 (95% CI, 4.2-4.6) versus 0.9 (95% CI, 0.6-1.2; p = 0.008) per 1000 person-years, respectively. Adverse event rates change when discontinued devices were included. CONCLUSIONS:Revisions and reoperations are more frequent and occur earlier with metal-on-metal hip resurfacing, except when discontinued devices are removed from the analyses. Results from the literature may be misleading without consistent definitions, standardized outcome metrics, and accounting for device market status. This is important when clinicians are assessing and communicating patient risk and when selecting which device is most appropriate for individual patients.
