Comparison of outpatient vs. inpatient anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty: a propensity score–matched analysis of 20,035 procedures

ABSTRACT:

Background

As the proportion of anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) operations performed at outpatient surgical sites continues to increase, it is important to evaluate the clinical implications of this evolution in care.

Methods

Patients who underwent TSA for glenohumeral osteoarthritis from 2007 to 2019 were identified in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program registry. Demographic data and 30-day outcomes were collected, and patients were separated into inpatient and outpatient (defined as same day discharge) groups. To control for confounding variables, a propensity score–matching algorithm was utilized. Outcomes included 30-day adverse events, readmission, and operative time.

Results

A total of 20,035 patients
