Blood Transfusion Incidence, Risk Factors, and Associated Complications in Surgical Treatment of Hip Dysplasia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Perioperative bleeding requiring blood transfusion is a known complication of hip dysplasia (HD) surgery. Here we examine rates of, risk factors for, and postoperative complications associated with transfusion during HD surgery.

Methods

The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) Pediatric database was queried for patients treated by an orthopaedist from 2012 to 2013. HD cases were categorized by Current Procedural Terminology codes into femoral osteotomies, acetabular osteotomies, combined femoral/acetabular osteotomies, and open reductions. Patients were grouped by comorbidities: neuromuscular (NM) disease (eg, cerebral palsy) group, non-NM with other comorbidity (Other) group, and no known comorbidity (NL) group. Patients were stratified by weight
