Cost analysis of staged versus simultaneous bilateral total knee and hip arthroplasty using a propensity score matching.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Total joint arthroplasty (TJA), including total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA), is required for many patients. This study aimed to evaluate the medical costs, length of stay (LOS), blood transfusion and in-hospital complications in patients undergoing simultaneous and staged TJA.

Methods

All patients who underwent primary bilateral TJA from 2013 to 2018 in our institute were included. The propensity score matching analysis was performed between simultaneous and staged TJA patients. The difference in medical costs, LOS, blood transfusion and in-hospital complications was compared between simultaneous and staged groups.

Results

Except for materials fees and general therapy fees, medical costs (bed fees, general therapy fees, nursing
