Associations Between Routine Blood-Derived Inflammatory Markers and 14-Day Readmission After Total Hip Arthroplasty: An Exploratory Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Early readmission following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is not uncommon and impacts patient outcomes and healthcare costs. However, easily accessible biomarkers for early identification of high-risk patients remain limited. This study aims to evaluate the association between various blood component-derived ratios and 14-day readmission after THA.

Methods

Data from the Chang Gung Medical Research Database (CGRD) from 2014 to 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients ≥ 20 years old who underwent primary THA by a single surgeon were included. The primary outcome was 14-day readmission. Five hematologic markers were evaluated: monocyte-to-albumin ratio (MAR), red cell distribution width (RDW)-to-albumin ratio (RAR), hemoglobin-to-albumin ratio (HAR), leukocyte-to-a
