Abstract
This study assesses if post-operative outcomes following THA vary by racial groups. A review of the ACS-NSQIP database was performed to compare THA patient outcomes from 2008 to 2016 according to race. During the study period, 117,389 THA patients were identified. Blacks were at significantly increased risk of peri-operative complications in comparison to non-Hispanic Whites, including serious medical morbidity (+27%), and prolonged length of stay (+53%). Despite multivariate control and propensity-matched analysis of important risk factors, race independently predicts longer operative times and higher rates of discharge to non-home facilities.
