Comparative Analysis of Frailty Indices on Complication Risk Following Septic Revision Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Frailty is an established risk factor for adverse outcomes following total joint arthroplasty, including higher rates of prosthetic joint infection (PJI), reoperation rates, and readmission, which may be greater in the setting of revision. The purpose of this study is to compare the association of frailty indices with mortality and complications following septic revision arthroplasty.

Methods

A query from The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) was performed for adult patients undergoing revision total knee or hip arthroplasty between 2015 and 2020, which records perioperative data (30 days postoperatively) for over 700 centers nationwide. PJI cases without revision arthroplasty were excluded. The RAI-rev and mFI-5 fr
