Development of prediction models for complications after primary total hip and knee arthroplasty: a single-centre retrospective cohort study in the Netherlands.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The aim of this study was to develop prediction models for patients with total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to predict the risk for surgical complications based on personal factors, comorbidities and medication use.

Design

Retrospective cohort study.

Setting

Tertiary care in outpatient clinic of university medical centre.

Participants

3776 patients with a primary THA or TKA between 2004 and 2018.

Primary and secondary outcome measures

Multivariable logistic regression models were developed for primary outcome surgical site infection (SSI), and secondary outcomes venous thromboembolism (VTE), postoperative bleeding (POB), luxation, delirium and nerve damage (NER).

Results

For SSI, age, smoking status, body mass
