Gender and Total Joint Arthroplasty: Variable Outcomes by Procedure Type.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recent reports on the influence of gender on the outcomes of total joint arthroplasty were limited by either lack of longitudinal data or absent stratification by total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA). As a result, there remains a lack of clarity on this topic.

Methods

The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program was queried for all primary, elective THAs and TKAs performed between 2011 and 2017. Differences in demographics, comorbidity profiles, operative time, hospital length of stay (LOS), and 30-day outcomes were compared between male and female patients. Multivariate analyses were performed separately for THA and TKA.

Results

A total of 418,885 patients were analyzed; 59.1% were females. Compare
