Patients and Methods

We identified patients aged 18 years and older who underwent THA between 2006 and 2016 from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database. We identified 131 361 patients, with a mean age of 65 years (sd 12), who underwent THA. We used multivariable regression to determine if the rate of complications and re-admissions was related to the operating time, while adjusting for relevant covariables.
