UK poSt Arthroplasty Follow-up rEcommendations (UK SAFE): what does analysis of linked, routinely collected national datasets tell us about mid-late term revision risk after knee replacement?

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To identify patients at risk of mid-late term revision of knee replacement (KR) to inform targeted follow-up.

Design

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

Participants

Primary elective KRs aged ≥18 years.

Event of interest

Revision surgery ≥5 years (mid-late term) postprimary KR.

Statistical methods

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

Results
