Abstract
Background
Due to the multiorgan effects of liver disease, surgical patients with liver disease have an increased risk of perioperative complications. With revision total hip and knee arthroplasty surgeries increasing, it is important to determine the effects of liver disease in this patient population. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of underlying liver disease on postoperative outcomes following revision total joint arthroplasty (TJA).
Methods
The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was used to identify patients undergoing aseptic revision TJA from 2006-2019 and group them based on liver disease. The presence of liver disease was assessed by calculating the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease–Sodium score. Patients with a Model for End-Stage Liver Disease–Sodium score of > 10 were classified as having underlying liver disease. In this analysis, differences in demographics, comorbidities, and postoperative complications were assessed.
Results
Of 7102 patients undergoing revision total hip arthroplasty, 11.6% of the patients had liver disease. Of 8378 patients undergoing revision total knee arthroplasty, 8.4% of the patients had liver disease. Following adjustment on multivariable regression analysis, patients with liver disease undergoing revision total hip arthroplasty or revision total knee arthroplasty had an increased risk of major complications, wound complications, septic complications, bleeding requiring transfusion, extended length of stay, and readmission compared to those without liver disease.
Conclusions
Patients with liver disease have an increased risk of complications following revision TJA. A multidisciplinary team approach should be employed for preoperative optimization and postoperative management of these vulnerable patients to improve outcomes and decrease the incidence and severity of complications.
Level of evidence
This is retrospective cohort study and is level 3 evidence.
期刊介绍:
Arthroplasty Today is a companion journal to the Journal of Arthroplasty. The journal Arthroplasty Today brings together the clinical and scientific foundations for joint replacement of the hip and knee in an open-access, online format. Arthroplasty Today solicits manuscripts of the highest quality from all areas of scientific endeavor that relate to joint replacement or the treatment of its complications, including those dealing with patient outcomes, economic and policy issues, prosthetic design, biomechanics, biomaterials, and biologic response to arthroplasty. The journal focuses on case reports. It is the purpose of Arthroplasty Today to present material to practicing orthopaedic surgeons that will keep them abreast of developments in the field, prove useful in the care of patients, and aid in understanding the scientific foundation of this subspecialty area of joint replacement. The international members of the Editorial Board provide a worldwide perspective for the journal''s area of interest. Their participation ensures that each issue of Arthroplasty Today provides the reader with timely, peer-reviewed articles of the highest quality.
