Risk Factors for Readmission After Knee Arthroplasty Based on Predictive Models: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An increase in the aging yet active US population will continue to make total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures routine in the coming decades. For such joint procedures, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services introduced programs such as the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement to emphasize accountable and efficient transitions of care. Accordingly, many studies have proposed models using risk factors for predicting readmissions after the procedure. We performed a systematic review of TKA literature to identify such models and risk factors therein using a reliable appraisal tool for their quality assessment.

Methods

Five databases were searched to identify studies that examined correlations between post-TKA readmission and risk factors using multivaria
