The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in 30-day outcomes between patients undergoing revision for an infected total hip arthroplasty (THA) compared with an aseptic revision THA. This was a retrospective review of prospectively collected data from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP) database, between 2012 and 2017, using Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes for patients undergoing a revision THA (27134, 27137, 27138). International Classification of Diseases Ninth Revision/Tenth Revision (ICD-9-CM, ICD-10-CM) diagnosis codes for infection of an implant or device were used to identify patients undergoing an infected revision THA. CPT-27132 coupled with ICD-9-CM/ICD-10-CM codes for infection were used to identify patients undergoing a two-stage revision. A total of 13 556 patients were included; 1606 (11.8%) underwent a revision THA due to infection and there were 11 951 (88.2%) aseptic revisions.Aims
Patients and Methods
The aim of this study was to compare the rate of perioperative
complications following aseptic revision total hip arthroplasty
(THA) in patients aged ≥ 80 years with that in those aged <
80
years, and to identify risk factors for the incidence of serious
adverse events in those aged ≥ 80 years using a large validated
national database. Patients who underwent aseptic revision THA were identified in
the 2005 to 2015 National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP)
database and stratified into two age groups: those aged <
80
years and those aged ≥ 80 years. Preoperative and procedural characteristics
were compared. Multivariate regression analysis was used to compare
the risk of postoperative complications and readmission. Risk factors
for the development of a serious adverse event in those aged ≥ 80
years were characterized.Aims
