Liver Disease Increases the Risk of Postoperative Complications in Patients Undergoing Aseptic Revision Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Due to the multiorgan effects of liver disease, surgical patients with liver disease have an increased risk of perioperative complications. With revision total hip and knee arthroplasty surgeries increasing, it is important to determine the effects of liver disease in this patient population. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of underlying liver disease on postoperative outcomes following revision total joint arthroplasty (TJA).

Methods

The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was used to identify patients undergoing aseptic revision TJA from 2006-2019 and group them based on liver disease. The presence of liver disease was assessed by calculating the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease-Sodium score. Patients with a Model for End
