Impact of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease on Outcomes After Total Joint Arthroplasty: A Meta-analysis and Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Comorbid chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is increasingly common and may have an adverse impact on outcomes in patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty (TJA) of lower extremity. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to compare the postoperative complications between COPD and non-COPD patients undergoing primary TJA including total hip and knee arthroplasty.

Methods

PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were systematically searched for relevant studies published before December 2021. Postoperative outcomes were compared between patients with COPD versus those without COPD as controls. The outcomes were mortality, re-admission, pulmonary, cardiac, renal, thromboembolic complications, surgical site infection (SSI), periprosthetic joint infection (PJI),
