Incidence, Risk Factors, and Subsequent Complications of Postoperative Hematomas Requiring Reoperation After Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Studies analyzing the incidence and clinical implications of postoperative hematomas after total hip arthroplasty (THA) remain limited. The purpose of the present study was to use the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) dataset to determine rates, risk factors, and subsequent complications of postoperative hematomas requiring reoperation after primary THA.

Methods

Study population included patients who underwent primary THA (CPT code: 27130) from 2012-2016 recorded in NSQIP. Patients who developed a hematoma requiring reoperation in the 30-day postoperative period were identified. Multivariate regressions were created to identify patient characteristics, operative variables, and subsequent complications that were associated with a postoperative h
