Abstract
Background: Optimizing operating room (OR) scheduling accuracy is important for improving OR efficiency and maximizing value of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, data on factors that may impact TKA OR scheduling accuracy are limited.
Materials and methods: A retrospective review of 7655 knee arthroplasties (6999 primary TKAs and 656 revision TKAs) performed between January 2020 and May 2023 was conducted. Patient baseline characteristics, surgeon experience (years in practice), as well as actual vs scheduled OR times were collected. Actual OR times that were at least 15% shorter or longer than scheduled OR times were considered to be clinically important. Logistic regression analyses were employed to assess the influence of specific patient and surgeon factors on OR scheduling inaccuracies.
Results: Using adjusted odds ratio, patients with primary TKA who had a lower body mass index (P<.001) were independently associated with overestimation of scheduled surgical time. Conversely, younger age (P<.001), afternoon procedure start time (P<.001), surgeons with less than 10 years of experience (P=.037), and higher patient body mass index (P<.001) were associated with underestimation of scheduled surgical time. For revision TKA, female sex (P=.021) and morning procedure start time (P=.038) were associated with overestimation of scheduled surgical time, while surgeons with less than 10 years of experience (P=.014) and patients who underwent spinal/epidural/block anesthesia (P=.038) were associated with underestimation of scheduled surgical time.
Conclusion: This study highlights patient, surgeon, and intraoperative variables that impact the accuracy of scheduling for TKA procedures. Health systems should take these variables into consideration when creating OR schedules to fully optimize resources and available space. [Orthopedics. 2024;47(5):313-319.].
期刊介绍：
For over 40 years, Orthopedics, a bimonthly peer-reviewed journal, has been the preferred choice of orthopedic surgeons for clinically relevant information on all aspects of adult and pediatric orthopedic surgery and treatment. Edited by Robert D''Ambrosia, MD, Chairman of the Department of Orthopedics at the University of Colorado, Denver, and former President of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, as well as an Editorial Board of over 100 international orthopedists, Orthopedics is the source to turn to for guidance in your practice.
The journal offers access to current articles, as well as several years of archived content. Highlights also include Blue Ribbon articles published full text in print and online, as well as Tips & Techniques posted with every issue.
