Age- and Sex-Specific Risks of Major Cardiovascular Complications and All-Cause Mortality Following Elective Hip and Knee Arthroplasty in the Netherlands: A Dutch Hospital Data Registry Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Age and sex are well-known risk factors for cardiovascular complications and mortality following total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Yet, stratified up-to-date absolute risk estimates, which are needed to optimize prevention, are lacking.

Methods

All Dutch patients who had a first primary THA and TKA for osteoarthritis between 2015 and 2021 were included. Data on baseline characteristics, procedures, and outcomes were obtained from the Dutch Hospital Data and Population registries, after linkage. Overall risks for venous thromboembolism, arterial thromboembolism, bleeding, and all-cause mortality were estimated at 30 and 90 days following surgery. Time trends were assessed by plotting 90-day risks by year. Lastly, 90-day risks were stra
