Predictors for day case surgery in shoulder arthroplasty: a study using the National Joint Registry and Hospital Episode Statistics for England.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

As shoulder arthroplasty volume increases in the UK, capacity challenges within a stretched health service mean that day case shoulder arthroplasty offers a value based solution. Patient selection for this is crucial and there is lack of evidence that informs guidance on patient selection for day case surgery. This study aims to use a large population reflective database, The National Joint Registry (NJR), to identify independent predictors for day case shoulder arthroplasty as well as develop a statistical tool that aids patient selection.

Method

All shoulder arthroplasty procedures were requested from 1st April 2012 to 31st March 2022 from the NJR. These were then linked to the Hospital Episode Statistics for England (HES) to identify patient co-morbidities. A
