UK poSt Arthroplasty Follow-up rEcommendations (UK SAFE): what does analysis of linked, routinely collected national data sets tell us about mid-late term revision risk after hip replacement? Retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To identify patients at risk of mid-late term revision of hip replacement to inform targeted follow-up.

Design

Analysis of linked national data sets from primary and secondary care (Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD-GOLD); National Joint Registry (NJR); English Hospital Episode Statistics (HES); Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs)).

Participants

Primary elective total hip replacement (THR) aged≥18.

Event of interest

Revision surgery≥5 years (mid-late term) after primary THR.

Statistical methods

Cox regression modelling to ascertain risk factors of mid-late term revision. HR and 95% CI assessed association of sociodemographic factors, comorbidities, medication, surgical variables and PROMs with mid-late term revision.
