Spinal Anesthesia in Total Hip Arthroplasty is Associated With Improved Outcomes in the American Joint Replacement Registry Population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite previous studies showing benefits of spinal anesthesia (SA) for patients undergoing elective total hip arthroplasty (THA), most THA procedures throughout the United States still utilize general anesthesia (GA). Using the American Joint Replacement Registry data, our study explored outcome difference for patients undergoing THA administered SA vs GA.

Methods

All available THAs were identified using American Joint Replacement Registry data from 2017 to 2020. THA patients were categorized into 2 cohorts by anesthesia type. Demographics, hospital characteristics, and comorbidities were documented for each patient. Outcomes included operative time, length of stay, 30- and 90-day readmission, and 90-day all-cause revision. Chi-square analysis was used to
