Abstract

Goals of this study were (1) to determine the 30-day complications after aseptic revision hip arthroplasty (RHA) and aseptic revision knee arthroplasty (RKA) and (2) to identify patient-related risk factors predicting major complications and prolonged hospital stay beyond 7 days. The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database was used to identify patients with RHA (n=2643) or RKA (n=2425) from 2011 to 2012. The 30-day mortality rates for RHA and RKA were 1.0% and 0.1% (P<0.001) and the overall complication rates were 7.4% and 4.7% (P<0.001) for RHA and RKA, respectively. Multivariable analysis showed that preoperative anemia is the most important modifiable independent predictor for both major complications and prolonged hospital stay after RHA and RKA.
