Frequency and Timing of Postoperative Complications After Outpatient Total Hip Arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although there have been several studies describing risk factors for complications after outpatient total hip arthroplasty (THA), data describing the timing of such complications is lacking.

Methods

Patients who underwent outpatient or inpatient primary THA were identified in the 2012-2019 National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. For 9 different 30-day complications, the median postoperative day of diagnosis was determined. Multivariable regressions were used to compare the risk of each complication between outpatient vs inpatient groups. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards modeling was used to evaluate the differences in the timing of each adverse event between the groups.

Results

After outpatient THA, the median day of diagnosis for read
