Abstract
Introduction Elective surgeries were postponed during the COVID-19 pandemic to alleviate healthcare strains, affecting majority of elective orthopaedic surgeries such as total knee arthroplasties (TKAs). The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact on knee function and quality of life of patients who had their planned TKA postponed due to the pandemic. Methods This is a retrospective analysis of data collected in a tertiary hospital. Patients included were diagnosed with primary knee osteoarthritis and they were initially scheduled for primary TKA between January to April 2020 but surgery was postponed by at least 6 months from the initial operative date. 160 patients were included in this study (53 males and 107 females, mean age 68.0 ± 8.1). Patients were assessed prior to initial surgery date and assessed again, prior to the postponed surgery date. Clinical scores included Knee Society Function Score (KSFS), Knee Society Knee Score (KSKS), Oxford Knee scores (OKS) and Short-Form 36 Physical and Mental Component Scores. (SF36 PCS and MCS). Paired T-test was performed for parametric data whereas Wilcoxon signed-rank analysis was performed for non-parametric data. Results Comparing initial preoperative versus postponement preoperative scores, the cohort had significantly poorer KSKS (38.4 ± 15.4 and 36.5 ± 15.4, p = 0.034), SF36 PCS (34.3 ± 9.2 and 32.7 ± 8.6, p = 0.02) and OKS (34.9 ± 0.77 and 35.8 ± 8.6, p = 0.02) scores respectively. Conclusion The postponement of elective TKAs has resulted in a significant deterioration of knee scores and physical quality of live scores of patients in a short span of 6 months. Further studies can evaluate if there are repercussions on long term TKAs outcomes. Level of evidence Retrospective study, Level III.

Comparison of Patients Based on Their Self-Selected Discharge Pathway after Total Knee Arthroplasty at an Ambulatory Surgical Center. J Knee Surg 2024.

Abstract
Outpatient total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is being performed more frequently in ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) to decrease the cost of care. Discharge pathways include 23-hour observation (OBSERVATION) or same-day discharge home (HOME), which differ in postoperative medical supervision. Few studies allow patients to self-select their discharge pathway. This study compared patient variables between self-selected OBSERVATION or HOME discharge after TKA at an ASC. We hypothesized that age, sex, and distance lived from the ASC would differ between discharge pathways. Clinical and patient-reported outcomes were explored.A chart review identified 130 patients with TKA at an ASC between November 2017 and December 2019. Patients self-selected OBSERVATION or HOME during a preoperative physician visit. Patient variables obtained from the electronic medical record were age, sex, race/ethnicity, marital status, body mass index, diabetic status, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class, distance lived from the ASC, anesthesia type, procedure time, and time in the postanesthesia recovery unit. Clinical outcomes (knee range of motion, infection rate, and reoperation rate) and patient-reported outcomes (Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, Joint Replacement [KOOS, JR]; Oxford Knee Score [OKS]) were collected at either 6 or 12 weeks postsurgery. Variables were compared between groups.Pathway selection was n = 70 OBSERVATION and n = 60 HOME, and all patients completed their self-selected discharge pathway. Age and proportion of females were significantly higher in OBSERVATION than in HOME (61.3 ± 3.5 vs. 58.5 ± 5.4 years, 85.7 vs. 65.0%, respectively; p < 0.05). Distance lived from the ASC tended to be greater in OBSERVATION than HOME (22.1 ± 24.6 vs. 15.3 ± 10.1 miles, p = 0.056). Across groups, clinical outcomes were favorable (i.e., >88% met the 6-week knee flexion milestone, 1.9% infection rate, and 3.1% manipulation under anesthesia), and the preoperative to 12-week postoperative change in KOOS, JR and OKS scores met the minimal clinically important difference.Older age, female sex, and farther distance lived from the ASC may influence patients to select OBSERVATION over HOME discharge following TKA at an ASC. No robust differences were found in early outcomes.

Katragadda BC, Suresh A, Azeez A. Can an Enhanced Recovery Protocol Result in a Safe and Effective Outpatient Simultaneous Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty? J Arthroplasty 2024; 39:1679-1684. [PMID: 38320663 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.01.056] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 02/08/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Outpatient total knee arthroplasty (OP TKA) is found to benefit patients as well as the health care system. Studies on OP TKA have been limited to unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aimed to determine if enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols can result in performing simultaneous bilateral TKA (SBTKA) safely and effectively in the OP setting. METHODS This retrospective study compared patients who underwent SBTKA in an OP setting (OP group, n = 100) using an ERAS protocol from April 1, 2021, to June 30, 2022, and a propensity-matched historical group (inpatient group, n = 100) operated in an inpatient setting via conventional protocol from July 1, 2019, to June 30, 2020. The complication rate, readmission rate, visual analog score (VAS), range of motion (ROM), and Knee Society Score (KSS) were compared between the groups in the early postoperative and follow-up periods up to 1 year. RESULTS We found a comparable complication rate (4 versus 7%, P = .4) and readmission rate (2 versus 3%, P = .7). The VAS score was significantly lower in the OP group on day 1, day 2, day 7, and day 14 postsurgery (P < .001). The KSS and ROM were significantly better in the OP group after 14 days (P < .001). The VAS, KSS, and ROM were comparable between the groups at 1 month and later follow-up periods (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS An ERAS protocol in SBTKA patients resulted in safe same-day discharge with better early functional outcomes compared with conventional practices. The results from similar future studies can alleviate surgeon and patient concerns about OP TKA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies have focused on the safety and efficacy of performing primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in an outpatient setting. Despite being associated with greater costs, much less is known about the accompanying impact on revision TKA (rTKA). The purpose of this study was to describe the trends in costs and outcomes of patients undergoing inpatient and outpatient rTKA. METHODS An observational cohort study was conducted using commercial claims databases. Patients who underwent 1-component and 2-component rTKA in an inpatient setting, hospital outpatient department (HOPD), or ambulatory surgery center (ASC) from 2018 to 2020 were included. The primary outcome was the 30-day episode-of-care costs following rTKA. Secondary outcomes included surgical cost, 90-day readmission rate, and emergency department visit rate. Covariates for analyses included patient demographics, surgery type, and indication for revision. RESULTS There were 6,515 patients who were identified, with 17.0% of rTKAs taking place in an outpatient setting. On adjusted analysis, patients in the highest quartile of 30-day postoperative costs were more likely to be those whose rTKA was performed in an inpatient setting. One-component revisions were more common in an outpatient setting (HOPD, 50.7%; ASC, 62.0%) compared to an inpatient setting (39.6%). The 90-day readmission rates were higher (P = .003) for rTKAs performed in inpatient (+9.2%) and HOPD (+8.6%) settings compared to those in an ASC. CONCLUSIONS The ASC may be a suitable setting for simpler revisions performed for less severe indications and is associated with lower costs and 90-day readmission and emergency department visit rates.

Abstract
Unplanned readmission after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) costs an average of US $39,000 per episode and negatively impacts patient outcomes. Although predictive machine learning (ML) models show promise for risk stratification in specific populations, existing studies do not address model generalizability. This study aimed to establish the generalizability of previous institutionally developed ML models to predict 30-day readmission following primary TKA using a national database. Data from 424,354 patients from the ACS-NSQIP database was used to develop and validate four ML models to predict 30-day readmission risk after primary TKA. Individual model performance was assessed and compared based on discrimination, accuracy, calibration, and clinical utility. Length of stay (> 2.5 days), body mass index (BMI) (> 33.21 kg/m2), and operation time (> 93 min) were important determinants of 30-day readmission. All ML models demonstrated equally good accuracy, calibration, and discriminatory ability (Brier score, ANN = RF = HGB = NEPLR = 0.03; ANN, slope = 0.90, intercept = - 0.11; RF, slope = 0.93, intercept = - 0.12; HGB, slope = 0.90, intercept = - 0.12; NEPLR, slope = 0.77, intercept = 0.01; AUCANN = AUCRF = AUCHGB = AUCNEPLR = 0.78). This study validates the generalizability of four previously developed ML algorithms in predicting readmission risk in patients undergoing TKA and offers surgeons an opportunity to reduce readmissions by optimizing discharge planning, BMI, and surgical efficiency.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With rising utilization of outpatient total hip arthroplasty (THA) in older patients including Medicare beneficiaries, the objective was to compare differences in definition including (1) patient demographics; (2) lengths of stay (LOS); and (3) outcomes of "outpatient" (stated status) versus "same-day discharge" (SDD) (actual LOS = 0 days) utilizing a nationwide database. METHODS A national database from 2015 to 2019 was queried for Medicare-aged patients undergoing outpatient THA. Total outpatient THAs (N = 6,072) were defined in one of 2 ways: either "outpatient" by the hospital (N = 2,003) or LOS = 0 days (N = 4,069). Demographics, LOS, discharge destinations, and complications were compared between groups. Logistic regression models computed odds ratios (ORs) for factors leading to complications, readmissions, and nonhome discharges. P values < .008 were significant. RESULTS Women (OR: 1.19, P = .002), diabetes mellitus (OR: 1.31, P = .003), general anesthesia (OR: 1.24, P = .001), and longer operative times (≥95 minutes) (OR: 1.82, P < .001) were associated with 'outpatient' designation versus SDD. Within the hospital-defined 'outpatient' cohort, 49.1% (983 of 2,003) were discharged the same day (LOS = 0 days), and 21.8% had LOS 2 or more days. The hospital-defined 'outpatient' cohort had greater odds of nonhome discharges (6.3 versus 2.8%; OR: 1.88, P < .001) compared to SDD surgeries. The incidence was higher for any complication among hospital-defined 'outpatient' designated patients compared to SDD (5.5 versus 3.9%, P = .007). CONCLUSIONS Outpatient surgeries may be misleading and often do not correlate with SDD, as over 20% remain in the hospital 2 or more days. Investigators should quantitatively define the "outpatient" status by actual LOS to allow standardization and results comparison. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
Day-case, or outpatient, arthroplasty is growing and has been adopted in healthcare systems because of its cost-effectiveness. A number of studies that reported on day-case total hip arthroplasty, total knee arthroplasty and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty have shown that they can be performed successfully in a select group of patients. However, safety remains a concern, as a clear pathway, including discharge criteria, is not well described in the literature. This article outlines the stages of care involved in day-case hip and knee arthroplasty and gives insights from University College London Hospital's own evidence-based day-case arthroplasty pathway.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To summarize recent evidence that discusses the clinical, financial, and logistical implications of a 23 h stay postsurgical stay unit in an ambulatory surgical center (ASC). RECENT FINDINGS Twenty-three-hour stays in ambulatory surgery centers are safe, but proper patient selection and optimization are key to maintaining a high level of safety. The financial implications of overnight stays in ASCs rely heavily on payment structures and comparative costs at hospital-based outpatient surgery centers. The establishment of pathways and protocols for clinical care are key to the success of a 23 h stay at an ASC. SUMMARY A concurrent concern with the recent increase in outpatient surgery and medical complexity of cases performed in an ambulatory surgical center (ASC) is the possibility that patients may need overnight stay. Further, whether certain patients would benefit from anticipated 23 h observation rather than same-day discharge is an emerging topic. Overnight stays in ASCs may have financial advantages and decrease the risk of unanticipated admission with proper patient selection. The use of protocols and established pathways is key to the success of this model.

Abstract
As outcomes and survivorship improve, total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has expanded into broader age groups. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of age on TKA outcomes using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database from 2015 to 2020. Patients were categorized into young (40-49 years), middle (50-79 years), and elderly (80-89 years) groups. Findings reveal notable differences across age groups. The young cohort had the highest BMI, smoking incidence, and steroid use, while the elderly group exhibited a higher prevalence of comorbidities. Young patients experienced shorter hospital stays (p < 0.001) but longer operative times (p < 0.001), and outpatient surgery was most common in the middle age group. Multivariable regression demonstrated that the elderly group faced increased risks of pneumonia (p < 0.001), acute renal failure (p < 0.001), stroke (p < 0.001), cardiac arrest (p < 0.001), and transfusions (p < 0.001), while both young and elderly patients had higher 30-day reoperation risks (youngest cohort, 1.4% and elderly cohort 1.3% (p < 0.001)). In summary, elderly patients undergoing TKA are at the highest risk for medical complications, while young patients are more likely to undergo inpatient surgery, experience reoperations, and have longer operative times. This study underscores the importance of age-specific counseling for TKA patients and contributes valuable insights into the evolving landscape of knee replacement surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION As ne arly half of all total joint arthroplasty (TJA) procedures are projected to be performed in the outpatient setting by 2026, the impact of this trend on health disparities remains to be explored. This study investigated the racial/ethnic differences in the proportion of TJA performed as outpatient as well as the impact of outpatient surgery on 30-day complication and readmission rates. METHODS The ACS National Surgical Quality Improvement Program was retrospectively reviewed for all patients who underwent primary, elective total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA, TKA) between 2011 and 2018. The proportion of TJA performed as an outpatient, 30-day complications, and 30-day readmission among African American, Hispanic, Asian, Native American/Alaskan, and Hawaiian/Pacific Islander patients were each compared to White patients (control group). Analyses were performed for each racial/ethnic group separately. A general linear model (GLM) was used to calculate the odds ratios for receiving TJA in an outpatient vs. inpatient setting while adjusting for age, gender, body mass index (BMI), functional status, and comorbidities. RESULTS In total, 170,722 THAs and 285,920 TKAs were analyzed. Compared to White patients, non-White patients had higher likelihood of THA or TKA performed as an outpatient (OR 1.31 and 1.24 respectively for African American patients, OR 1.65 and 1.76 respectively for Hispanic patients, and OR 1.66 and 1.59 respectively for Asian patients, p < 0.001). Outpatient surgery did not lead to increased complications in any of the study groups compared to inpatient surgery (p > 0.05). However, readmission rates were significantly higher for outpatient TKA in all the study groups compared to inpatient TKA (OR range 2.47-10.15, p < 0.001). Complication and readmission rates were similar between inpatient and outpatient THA for all the study groups. CONCLUSION While this study demonstrated higher proportion of TJA performed as an outpatient among most non-White racial/ethnic groups, this observation should be tempered with the increased readmission rates observed in outpatient TKA, which could further the disparities gap in health outcomes.

Abstract
Introduction The development of kinesiophobia after Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) has been one of the important issues. However, the early results and the presence of kinesiophobia before surgery have not been adequately investigated. In addition, the effects of factors such as pain perception, postoperative pain level, and demographic characteristics were mentioned. However, occupational factors such as occupational expectations and occupational self-perception level have not been adequately investigated. Methods Each assessment tool was administered three times: once on the first day of the preoperative period and then again at the third and sixth weeks after the surgery. The assessment tools employed were the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, Occupational Self Assessment, and Timed Up and Go test. To analyze the differences in Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia scores, a one-way ANOVA was conducted. Subsequently, the patients were categorized into two groups based on their level of kinesiophobia: high and low. Independent sample t-tests were employed to compare continuous and normally distributed data between the two groups, while the Mann-Whitney U test was used for non-normally distributed data. The Pearson correlation coefficient was utilized to assess the relationship between continuous data, whereas the Spearman rank-order correlation was employed for non-normally distributed data. Results High levels of kinesiophobia were identified in individuals both prior to and following surgery. Significant differences were observed between the high and low kinesiophobia groups in terms of the mean OSA Competency (p < 0.05). However, no statistically significant differences were found between the groups in relation to the other evaluation scores during the follow-up periods. Furthermore, a negative correlation was observed between TSK score and OSA Competence results (p < 0.05). Conclusion Occupational self-perception levels effect the level of kinesiophobia in individuals with TKA and high rates of kinesiophobia observed before the surgery intensified after the surgery, especially in the early period. It may be necessary to focus more on factors such as individual factors, individuals' values, habits, and beliefs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative advancements have made outpatient primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) a viable option for patients. This study evaluated the feasibility of expedited discharge after revision THA and compared 30-day outcomes to patients who had prolonged inpatient hospitalizations. The authors hypothesized that expedited discharge would not result in inferior 30-day outcomes. METHODS Aseptic revision THAs in a national database were reviewed from 2013 to 2020. THAs were stratified by hospital length of stay (LOS) more or less than 24 hours. Demographics, comorbidities, preoperative laboratory values, American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) scores, operative times, components revised, 30-day readmissions, and reoperations were compared. Multivariable analyses evaluated predictors of discharge prior to 24 hours, 30-day readmissions, and reoperations. Of 17,044 aseptic revision THAs, 211 were discharged within 24 hours. RESULTS Accelerated discharge patients were younger, mean age 63 years (range, 20-92) versus 66 years (range, 18-94) (P < .01) had lower body mass index, mean 28.7 (range, 18.3-46.4) versus 29.9 (range, 17.3-52.5) (P = .01), and ASA scores (ASA, 1-2; 40.4-57.8%) (P < .01). Components revised had no association with LOS (P = .39); however, operative times were shorter and mean 100 minutes (range, 35-369) versus 139 minutes (range, 24-962) (P < .01) in accelerated discharge patients. Accelerated discharge patients had lower readmission rates (P < .01) but no difference in reoperation rates (P = .06). CONCLUSION Discharge less than 24 hours after revision THA is a feasible option for the correct patient and further efforts to decrease LOS should be evaluated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Decreased cost associated with same-day discharge (SDD) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has led to an increased interest in this topic. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether there is a population of TKA patients in which SDD has similar rates of 30-day complications compared to patients discharged on postoperative day 1 or 2. METHODS Using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database from 2012 to 2018, 6,327 TKA patients who had a SDD (length of stay [LOS] = 0) were matched to TKA patients who had an LOS of 1 or 2 days. All SDD patients were successfully matched 1:1 using the morbidity probability variable (a composite variable of demographics, comorbidities, and laboratory values). Patients were divided into quartiles based on their morbidity probability. Bivariate logistic regressions were then used to compare any complication and major complication rates in the SDD quartiles to the corresponding quartiles with an LOS of 1 or 2 days. RESULTS When comparing the 1st quartiles (healthiest), there was no difference between the cohorts in any complication (odds ratio [OR] = 0.960, 95% CI 0.552-1.670, P = .866) and major complications (OR = 0.999, 95% CI = 0.448-2.231, P = .999). The same was observed in quartile 2 (any complications: OR = 1.161, 95% CI = 0.720-1.874, P = .540). Comparing the third quartiles, there was an increase in all complications with SDD (OR = 1.784, 95% CI = 1.125-2.829, P = .014), but no difference in major complications (OR = 1.635, 95% CI = 0.874-3.061, P = .124). Comparing the fourth quartiles (least healthy), there was an increase in all complications (OR = 1.384, 95% CI = 1.013-1.892, P = .042) and major complications (OR = 1.711, 95% CI = 1.048-2.793, P = .032) with SDD. CONCLUSION The unhealthiest 50% of patients in this study who underwent SDD TKA were at an increased risk of having any complication, calling into question the current state of patient selection for SDD TKA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although previous studies evaluated postoperative outcomes of arthroplasty patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), no meta-analysis has been conducted. METHODS An electronic search was conducted on PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases to identify relevant studies published from inception to May 1, 2022. To assess the impact of COPD on postoperative outcomes, the odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated; pooled results were calculated using a random effects model. Sensitivity and subgroup analyses were carried out according to surgical type and statistical method. A total of 11 retrospective cohort studies involving patients with COPD who underwent hip or knee arthroplasties were included in the meta-analysis. There were 195,444 patients with COPD and 1,592,908 patients without COPD. RESULTS A pooled analysis showed that the COPD group was at higher risk for mortality, readmission, pneumonia, sepsis, septic shock, and surgical site infection within 30 days following hip arthroplasties than the non-COPD group. Moreover, COPD patients were more likely to experience mortality, readmission, pneumonia, sepsis, septic shock, and surgical site infection 30 days after knee arthroplasties. CONCLUSION In this study, coexisting COPD was associated with worse outcomes in patients with lower extremity joint arthroplasties. The findings highlighted the importance of preoperative optimization and proactive interventions for COPD in the perioperative period.

Abstract
Aims In the last decade, perioperative advancements have expanded the use of outpatient primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Despite this, there remains limited data on expedited discharge after revision TKA. This study compared 30-day readmissions and reoperations in patients undergoing revision TKA with a hospital stay greater or less than 24 hours. The authors hypothesized that expedited discharge in select patients would not be associated with increased 30-day readmissions and reoperations. Methods Aseptic revision TKAs in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database were reviewed from 2013 to 2020. TKAs were stratified by length of hospital stay (greater or less than 24 hours). Patient demographic details, medical comorbidities, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade, operating time, components revised, 30-day readmissions, and reoperations were compared. Multivariate analysis evaluated predictors of discharge prior to 24 hours, 30-day readmission, and reoperation. Results Of 21,610 aseptic revision TKAs evaluated, 530 were discharged within 24 hours. Short-stay patients were younger (63.1 years (49 to 78) vs 65.1 years (18 to 94)), with lower BMI (32.3 kg/m2 (17 to 47) vs 33.6 kg/m2 (19 to 54) and lower ASA grades. Diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypertension, and cancer were all associated with a hospital stay over 24 hours. Single component revisions (56.8% (n = 301) vs 32.4% (n = 6,823)), and shorter mean operating time (89.7 minutes (25 to 275) vs 130.2 minutes (30 to 517)) were associated with accelerated discharge. Accelerated discharge was not associated with 30-day readmission and reoperation. Conclusion Accelerated discharge after revision TKA did not increase short-term complications, readmissions, or reoperations. Further efforts to decrease hospital stays in this setting should be evaluated. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2022;104-B(12):1323–1328.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The volume of outpatient total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has increased with advances in perioperative protocols, patient selection, and recent policy changes regarding insurance authorization. This study analyzed 30-day outcomes from a national database to better understand risk factors for delayed discharge (length of stay [LOS] ≥1), readmission, and reoperation after outpatient TKA. METHODS The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database was utilized to collect TKA (CPT 27447) billed as outpatient surgery performed from 2013 to 2018. Patient demographics, comorbidities, and short-term outcomes were collected and compared in LOS 0 versus LOS ≥1 cohorts. Subgroup analysis was completed for TKA performed in 2018, after the Center for Medicare Services removal of TKA from the inpatient-only list. RESULTS A total of 13,669 patients had outpatient TKA performed from 2013 to 2018. Most patients had LOS ≥1 day (77.1%). The LOS 0 cohort demonstrated a lower 30-day readmission rate (1.8%) compared to LOS ≥1 (2.8%), P > .01. Both groups demonstrated a low 30-day reoperation rate, LOS 0 (0.7%) and LOS ≥1 (1.1%), P = .05. Regression analysis demonstrated risk factors for LOS ≥1 day included COPD, ASA ≥3, age >75, and BMI >35 kg/m2. Regression analysis demonstrated male gender, age >75, ASA ≥3, and albumin <3.5 g/dL were risk factors for readmission. Hypertension was a risk factor for 30-day reoperation. CONCLUSION Risk factors for LOS ≥1 day include age >75, ASA ≥3, BMI >35 kg/m2. In addition, BMI >35 kg/m2 was a risk factor for readmission and reoperation. These findings reinforce appropriate patient selection when considering outpatient TKA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION New technologies exist which may assist surgeons to better predict final intra-operative joint balance. Our objectives were to compare the impact of (1) a predictive digital joint tensioning tool on intra-operative joint balance; and (2) joint balance and flexion joint laxity on patient-reported outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two-hundred Eighty patients received posterior cruciate ligament sacrificing TKA with ultra-congruent tibial inserts using a robotic-assisted navigation platform. Patients were divided into those in which a Predictive Plan with a digital joint-tensioning device was used (PP) and those in which it was not (NPP), in all cases final post-operative joint gaps were collected immediately before final implantation. Demographics and KOOS were collected pre-operatively. KOOS, complications and satisfaction were collected at 3, 6 and 12 months post-operatively. Optimal balance difference between PP and NPP was defined and compared using area-under-the-curve analysis (AUC). Outcomes were then compared according to the results from the AUC. RESULTS AUC analysis yielded a balance threshold of 1.5 mm, in which the PP group achieved a higher rate of balance throughout flexion compared to the NPP group: extension: 83 vs 52%; Midflexion: 82 vs 55%; Flexion 89 vs 68%; Flexion to Extension 80 vs 49%; p ≤ 0.003. Higher KOOS scores were observed in knees balanced within 1.5 mm across all sub-scores at various time points, however, differences did not exceed the minimum clinically important difference (MCID). Patients with > 1.5 mm flexion laxity medially or laterally had an increased likelihood of 2.2 (1.1-4.4) and 2.5 (1.3-4.8), respectively, for failing to achieve the Patient Acceptable Symptom State for KOOS Pain at 12 months. Patient satisfaction was high in both the PP and NPP groups (97.4 and 94.7%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Use of a predictive joint tensioning tool improved the final balance in TKA. Improved outcomes were found in balanced knees; however, this improvement did not achieve the MCID, suggesting further studies may be required to define optimal balance targets. Limiting medial and lateral flexion laxity resulted in an increased likelihood of achieving the Patient Acceptable Symptom State for KOOS Pain.

Resumo
Objetivo Identificar fatores de risco para o desenvolvimento de complicações pós-operatórias locais ou clínicas ocorridas até 30 dias após a cirurgia em pacientes submetidos a artroplastia total do joelho.
Métodos Todos os pacientes submetidos a artroplastia de joelho realizada neste hospital no período do estudo foram incluídos na análise, baseada em dados dos prontuários dos pacientes, para investigar os fatores associados à ocorrência de complicações locais ou clínicas durante o internamento até 30 dias após o procedimento que necessitaram de alguma intervenção.
Resultados Dos 157 pacientes incluídos no estudo, 17,1% cursaram com alguma complicação. As mais prevalentes foram artrofibrose (6,4%), infecção profunda (4,4%) e infecção superficial (2,5%), dentre outras. A maior idade e maior número de comorbidades prévias foram relacionadas com maior risco de complicações pós-operatórias.
Conclusões A maior idade e maior número de comorbidades foram relacionados a um risco aumentado de complicações pós-operatórias. O escore Sociedade Americana de Anestesiologistas (ASA, na sigla em inglês) se mostrou insuficiente para avaliar a ocorrência de complicações pós artroplastia de joelho e novas ferramentas devem ser empregadas para este fim

Abstract
AIMS The proportion of arthroplasties performed in the ambulatory setting has increased considerably. However, there are concerns whether same-day discharge may increase the risk of complications. The aim of this study was to compare 90-day outcomes between inpatient arthroplasties and outpatient arthroplasties performed at an ambulatory surgery centre (ASC), and determine whether there is a learning curve associated with performing athroplasties in an ASC. METHODS Among a single-surgeon cohort of 970 patients who underwent arthroplasty at an ASC, 854 (88.0%) were matched one-to-one with inpatients based on age, sex, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade, BMI, and procedure (105 could not be adequately matched and 11 lacked 90-day follow-up). The cohort included 281 total hip arthroplasties (THAs) (32.9%), 267 unicompartmental knee arthroplasties (31.3%), 242 primary total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) (28.3%), 60 hip resurfacings (7.0%), two revision THAs (0.3%), and two revision TKAs (0.3%). Outcomes included readmissions, reoperations, visits to the emergency department, unplanned clinic visits, and complications. RESULTS The inpatient and outpatient groups were similar in all demographic variables, reflecting successful matching. The reoperation rate was 0.9% in both cohorts (p = 1.000). Rates of readmission (2.0% inpatient vs 1.6% outpatient), any complications (5.9% vs 5.6%), minor complications (4.2% vs 3.9%), visits to the emergency department (2.7% vs 1.4%), and unplanned clinic visits (5.7% vs 5.5%) were lower in the outpatient group but did not reach significance with the sample size studied. A learning curve may exist, as seen by significant reductions in the reoperation and overall complication rates among outpatient arthroplasties over time (p = 0.032 and p = 0.007, respectively), despite those in this group becoming significantly older and heavier (both p < 0.001) during the study period. CONCLUSION Arthroplasties performed at ASCs appear to be safe in appropriately selected patients, but may be associated with a learning curve as shown by the significant decrease in complication and reoperation rates during the study period.

Perioperative Antibiotic Prophylaxis: Single and 24-Hour Antibiotic Dosages are Equally Effective at Preventing Periprosthetic Joint Infection in Total Joint Arthroplasty. J Arthroplasty 2021; 36:S308-S313. [PMID: 33712358 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2021.02.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2020] [Revised: 02/08/2021] [Accepted: 02/11/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis is used to prevent surgical site infection and periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Secondary to a national shortage of cefazolin, patients at our institution began receiving a single preoperative prophylactic antibiotic dose for primary TJA and no 24-hour postoperative antibiotic prophylaxis. The purpose of the study was to compare the efficacy of single-dose antibiotic use versus 24-hour dosing of prophylactic antibiotics in the prevention of acute PJI and short-term complications after primary TJA. METHODS A retrospective review of 3317 patients undergoing primary TJA performed from January 2015 to December 2019 identified 554 patients who received a single dose of preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis during the antibiotic shortage and 2763 patients who received post-TJA 24-hour antibiotic prophylaxis before the shortage. Patient records were evaluated for acute PJI, superficial infection, 90-day reoperation, and 90-day complications. RESULTS There were no significant differences in patient characteristics between single-dose and 24-hour antibiotic groups. Similarly, there were no significant differences in rates of acute PJI (0.7% vs 0.2%; P = .301), superficial infection (2.4% vs 1.4%; P = .221), 90-day reoperation (2.1% vs 1.1%; P = .155), and 90-day complications (9.9% vs 7.9%; P = .169) between single and 24-hour antibiotic dose. Post hoc power analysis demonstrated adequate sample size, beta = 93%. CONCLUSION Single-dose prophylactic antibiotics did not lead to an increased risk of acute PJI or short-term complications after TJA. Our study suggests that administration of a single antibiotic dose may be safely considered in patients undergoing routine primary TJA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Identifying predictors of failed same-day discharge (SDD) is critical for patient selection. We evaluated patient factors associated with failure of SDD in patients undergoing elective total joint arthroplasty (TJA) in a hospital setting. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed consecutive patients who underwent primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) between January 31, 2018 and February 1, 2020 by one of the 3 fellowship-trained arthroplasty surgeons. Patient demographics, comorbidities, and clinical data were collected. Analysis was performed to assess risk factors for failed SDD. RESULTS In total, 2615 TJAs (1425 TKAs, 1190 THAs) were performed over the study period. Two hundred seventy-one (10.4%) were SDDs (80 TKAs, 191 THAs). There were fewer TKAs than THAs (5.6% vs 16.1%, P < .001). Forty-five patients failed SDD (16.6%). Failure rates were similar in TKA and THA (18.8%, 15.7%, P = .54). The most common reasons for failure of SDD were hypotension (11, 24.4%), delayed resolution of spinal anesthesia (11, 24.4%), and nausea (5, 11.1%). Age over 70 years (P = .007), greater than 2 self-reported allergies (P < .001), and preoperative narcotic use (P = .01) were associated with failure of SDD. Gender, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists class, and prior TJA were not significantly associated (P > .05). CONCLUSION Success of SDD was greater than 80%. Hypotension, delayed resolution of spinal anesthesia, and nausea accounted for 60% of failures of SDD. Patients >70 years, those with >2 self-reported drug allergies, or patients who used preoperative narcotics were at high risk for failure of SDD after THA or TKA.

Abstract
;Background: The Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most common surgical intervention in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Previous studies suggested a significant improvement in health status after TKA surgery. But we have little data about the Iranian population undergone TKA. In the current clinical study, we evaluated postoperatively health status using reliable tools of MOS SF-36 and WOMAC in OA and RA patients undergoing TKA. METHODS In this cohort study, patients with OA and/or RA who were candidates for TKA surgery were included. Using two reliable questionnaires, i.e., WOMAC and SF-36, the quality of life of patients was examined during a period of six months (three monthly intervals) after the surgery. All data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics. Kolmogrov-Smirnov, Kendall's tau, chi-square test and K-related Non-parametric tests were used. RESULTS Of the 2126 patients who underwent TKA, there were 2024 diagnosed osteoarthritis and 102 validated RA over one year. The mean ± SD of age and the average BMI were 68.0 ± 7.0 BMI 28.5 kg/m2, respectively. Regarding comorbidities and concurrent disorders, about 14% of cases were diabetic, 42% had cardiovascular diseases, 3% had respiratory diseases, and 12% involved with gastrointestinal diseases. The result of SF-36 dramatically increased during follow up. The central distributions of all domains in the SF-36 questionnaire indicated that most scores increased during the time after surgery. As a consequence, WOMAC and MOS FS-36 indicated statistically significant changes after TKA for those who are suffering from RA or OA. CONCLUSION TKA is an effective surgical process, which improves the quality of life in OA and/or RA. In addition, WOMAC and SF-36 examining tools are likely reliable tools with similar results to assess patients' quality of life after TKA surgery.

Abstract
Introduction: Hip and knee arthroplasty, formerly known as the “gold standard” in the treatment of articular cartilage damage, after a period of being highly popular, are changing the way they are perceived over time due to their related complications. The number of complications is directly proportional to the number of prostheses placed. This is the case of numerus arthroplasty surgeries, also involving other joints. Since there is no tissue compatibility between the metal prosthesis and the bone tissue, the former represents a negative biological element that hinders the healing of the fracture.
Objective of the study: The study aims at addressing the following questions: 1. What is the elasticity of the fixation with a locking plate depending on the number of screws in both fragments, in the case of interfractural diastasis?, 2. What is the elasticity of the fixation with a locking plate depending on the number of screws in both fragments, in the case of fracture-on-fracture compression? 3. What is the difference in elasticity of the fixation using the cable system on a fracture with prosthesis?, 4. Determining the influence of different stabilization setups with the locking plate screws on the spacing of the fracture on the static and dynamic experimental model, 5. Is it possible to achieve elasticity of the stabilization stimulating bone union in a plate-based fixation, and when?
Material and methods: The study was performed in the research laboratory of ChM. The subject of the study was the ChM 5.0 ChLP straight narrow compression locking plate with limited contact L-238, holes-15. The plate was mounted using ChM 3.5 locking screws: 5.0 ChLP 3.5 x 18T self-tapping screw and 5.0 ChLP 3.5 x 36T self-tapping screw. The test was carried out under static and dynamic conditions.
Results and Conclusions: 1. The elasticity of the fixation with a locking plate at the interfractural diastasis is inversely proportional to the number of screws (plate deflection), 2. The elasticity of the fixation with a locking plate at the fracture-on-fracture compression is inversely proportional to the number of screws (fracture-on-fracture compression), 3. Application of the “cable system” on the fracture with prosthesis and the derotation screw optimizes the elasticity of the fixation and seems to be an optimal solution (in periprosthetic fractures), 4. Studies on the experimental static and dynamic model demonstrated that placing screws in all the openings of the plate is a restrained/clinically useless fixation. 5. The elasticity of the stabilization stimulating bone union can be obtained in the plate fixation supported by the "cable system".

Abstract
INTRODUCTION As we now drive to reinitiate our full capacity elective services in an attempt to tackle an ever-growing demand for lower limb arthroplasty, this pandemic has presented rare opportunities to revise and re-engage elective arthroplasty pathways aimed at improving patient care and healthcare efficiency. AIMS We present the development of an evidence-based multidisciplinary perioperative care pathway for day-case total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in a United Kingdom National Health Service (NHS) institution, in conjunction with a review of the literature upon which the protocol is founded. METHODOLOGY We performed a review of the literature reporting complication or readmission rates at ≥30 day postoperative following day-case TKA. Electronic searches were performed using four databases from the date of inception to November 2020. Relevant studies were identified, data extracted, and qualitative synthesis performed. RESULTS 13 manuscripts with a total of 3370 day-case TKAs, defined as discharged on the same-calendar-day of surgery, were included in analysis. Mean 90-day complication rates (8.31% [range, 0-16.3%] vs 9.49% [range, 0-13.1%], respectively) and readmission rates (2.71% [range, 0-10.0%] vs 3.41% [range, 0-9.9%], respectively) were equivocal between day-case and inpatient TKA. The overall rate of successful same-calendar-day discharge was 95.8%. Our evaluation and critique of the evidence-based literature identifies day-case TKA to be safe, effective and economical, benefitting both patients and healthcare systems alike. CONCLUSION We further validate the introduction of our institutional Elective Day Surgery Arthroplasty Pathway (EDSAP) based on the evidence presented. Careful patient selection paralleled with well-defined care pathways are essential for successful introduction of day-case TKA into the NHS.

Abstract
Introduction: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services removed total hip arthroplasty (THA) from the inpatient-only (IO) list in January 2020. Given this recommendation, we analyzed Medicare-eligible patients undergoing outpatient THA to understand risk factors for nonroutine discharge, reoperations, and readmissions. Materials and Methods: The 2015-2018 American College of Surgeons–National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried using Current Procedural Terminology code 27130 for Medicare eligible patients (≥ 65 years of age) undergoing outpatient THA. Postoperative discharge destination was categorized into home and non-home. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to evaluate risk factors associated with non-home discharge disposition. Secondarily, we evaluated rates and risk factors associated with 30-day reoperations and readmissions. Results: A total of 1095 THAs were retrieved for final analysis. A total of 108 patients (9.9%) experienced a non-home discharge postoperatively. Patients were discharged to rehab (n = 47; 4.3%), a skilled care facility (n = 47; 4.3%), a facility that was “home” (n = 8; 0.7%), a separate acute care facility (n = 5; 0.5%), or an unskilled facility (n = 1; 0.1%). Independent factors for a non-home discharge were American Society of Anesthesiologists Class >II (odds ratio [OR] 2.74), operative time >80 minutes (OR 2.42), age >70 years (OR 2.20), and female gender (OR 1.67). Eighteen patients (1.6%) required an unplanned reoperation within 30 days. A total of 40 patients (3.7%) required 30-day readmissions, with 35 readmissions related to the original THA procedure. Independent risk factors for 30-day reoperation were COPD (OR 5.85) and HTN (OR 5.24). Independent risk factors for 30-day readmission were HTN (OR 4.35) and Age >70 (OR 2.48). Discussion: The current study identifies significant predictors associated with a non-home discharge, reoperation, and readmission in Medicare-aged patients undergoing outpatient THA. Conclusion: Providers should consider preoperatively risk-stratifying patients to reduce the costs associated with unplanned discharge destination, complication or reoperation.

Abstract
PURPOSE As the population ages, it is important to determine whether total knee arthroplasties (TKA)s are safe and beneficial in the octogenarian population. The aims of the present study were: (1) to assess the effect of comorbidities and age on the incidence of postoperative complications following TKA and (2) to evaluate the mid-term outcome of octogenarian patients. METHODS A retrospective matched-paired analysis by gender, BMI and duration of follow-up was conducted on 206 patients older than 80 years and younger than 75 years between 2009 and 2016, undergoing primary TKA. The mean follow-up was 5 years. Outcome measures including Oxford Knee Score (OKS), Knee Society Score (KSS), Knee Society Function Score (KSFS), postoperative complications, length of stay (LOS) and survivorship were analysed. The association between complications and comorbidities was assessed using multivariable logistic regression after adjusting for age, Deyo-Charlson Comorbidity Index (D-CCI) and the American Society of Anesthesiologist's (ASA) physical status classification. RESULTS In the multivariable models, D-CCI class is an independent predictor for postoperative cardiac complications, delirium and transfusion rate (OR ranging from 1.2 to 69.5 in respect to D-CCI reference class 0). Being ≥ 80 years old was associated with an increased risk of transfusion (OR 3.4; 95% CI 1.7-6.8) and 1.7-day increase in LOS (p < 0.001). Both groups showed significant improvement in postoperative knee scores following TKA. CONCLUSION Octogenarians experienced good clinical results when compared to their younger counterparts. Comorbidities, rather than age itself, are responsible for the increase in postoperative morbidity. Preoperative risk assessment has to be optimized in order to reduce complications.

Abstract
Background Outpatient total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is becoming more commonplace in the United States. Alternatively, the current practice in the Middle East involves an inpatient stay of 7-10 days in the hospital after TKA. This study reports the early results of the first reported series of outpatient TKA performed on patients in the Middle East and compares the clinical and functional outcomes with those of patients who underwent inpatient TKA. Methods Eighty-eight patients underwent TKA (inpatient: 44 and outpatient: 44) using the modified intervastus approach in 2 hospitals in the Middle East from 2017 to 2019. Clinical and functional outcomes were assessed by recording the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, and knee range of motion (ROM) preoperatively, on the day of surgery, and postoperatively at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months. Results Two patients undergoing outpatient TKA had complications: one patient suffered a periprosthetic fracture on postoperative day 10 after a fall, and the other patient had drainage on postoperative day 5. No complications occurred in the inpatient TKA cohort. There were no significant differences observed in the VAS scores or knee ROM numbers recorded for inpatient and outpatient TKA groups at any of the follow-up periods. Overall, the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, VAS, and ROM significantly improved 6 months after surgery compared with preoperative values for both inpatient and outpatient TKA groups. Conclusions Outpatient TKA was safely implemented when compared with inpatient TKA, with satisfactory results. A total of 2 complications were seen in this study, which we believe are unrelated to the patient’s discharge status. The concept of outpatient TKA using the modified intervastus approach was very well accepted by the patients in this study and can potentially be applied safely elsewhere in the region.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The shift toward outpatient joint arthroplasty is rapidly growing, but concerns still remain on whether certain patients should be excluded from same-day discharge arthroplasty. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether morbid obesity is a risk factor for perioperative complications after outpatient joint arthroplasty. METHODS A retrospective review was performed from 2013 to 2017 of all outpatient primary total hip, total knee, partial knee, and revision hip and knee arthroplasties, yielding a cohort of 4863 patients (5988 arthroplasty procedures). Patients were separated and analyzed based on 2 groups: nonmorbidly obese (NMO) (BMI < 40 kg/m2) and morbidly obese (MO) (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2). The NMO group consisted of 4870 arthroplasties and the MO group consisted of 1118 arthroplasties. Overnight stays, medical complications, and early perioperative complications were assessed between groups. RESULTS Overnight stays occurred in 5.4% of NMO patients and 9.1% of MO patients (P < .001), with medical reasons for the overnight stay occurring in 3.2% of NMO and 6.4% of MO patients (P < .001). Respiratory/sleep apnea was the leading medical reason leading to overnight stay occurring in 4% of MO patients and 0.8% of NMO patients (P < .001). There was no significant difference between groups in direct facility transfers, emergency room visits/admissions, or medical complications within 90 days. Wound revisions, nonrevision surgery, or revisions within 90 days were significant between groups. CONCLUSION MO patients did not have an increased risk of 90-day medical complications, readmission, or revisions after outpatient arthroplasty. However, MO patients did have a significantly higher incidence of overnight stay.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study is to review the incidence of symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients undergoing outpatient primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) who used a portable pneumatic compression device as part of their VTE prophylaxis protocol. Methods A retrospective review of all outpatient primary TKA procedures in which patients used ambulatory pneumatic compression pumps as part of their multimodal VTE prophylaxis was performed from 2016 through 2018. This yielded a cohort of 1131 patients (1453 TKAs). An aspirin (ASA)-based protocol was used in patients with standard VTE risk receiving either 81 mg or 325 mg of ASA twice daily for 6 weeks postoperatively. High-risk patients received a stronger chemoprophylaxis for 2 weeks followed by ASA for 4 weeks. Pneumatic compression pumps were worn for 23 hours/day for 14 days. Results VTE prophylaxis medication was 81-mg ASA in 56% of patients, 325-mg ASA in 10% of patients, and stronger chemoprophylaxis in 34% of patients. Patients were considered morbidly obese (body mass index >40 kg/m2) in 267 (18.4%) procedures. Ninety-seven (6.7%) patients had a preoperative history of VTE event. Forty-nine duplex ultrasounds were performed (3.3% of TKAs). Confirmed VTE events were documented in only 5 (0.3%) patients. All VTEs occurred in high-risk patients who were discharged on stronger chemoprophylaxis. The time (days) to VTE was 3, 3, 7, 45, and 88 days. Conclusion The use of portable pneumatic compression pumps as part of a multimodal VTE prophylaxis protocol aided in a very low rate of symptomatic VTE events in patients undergoing outpatient primary TKA.

Abstract
Some authors have reported that outpatient total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a successful, safe and cost-effective treatment in the management of advanced osteoarthritis. The success obtained has been attributed to the coordination of the multidisciplinary team, standardized perioperative protocols, optimal hospital discharge planning and careful selection of patients. One study has demonstrated a higher risk of perioperative surgical and medical outcomes in outpatient TKA than inpatient TKA, including component failure, surgical site infection, knee stiffness and deep vein thrombosis. There remains a lack of universal criteria for patient selection. Outpatient TKA has thus far been performed in relatively young patients with few comorbidities. It is not yet clear whether outpatient TKA is worth considering, except in very exceptional cases (young patients without associated comorbidities). Outpatient TKA should not be generally recommended at the present time.

Abstract
Background and purpose - Discharge on the day of surgery (DOS) in selected patients operated with total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been shown to be feasible, but different factors may determine whether patients are discharged on the DOS or not and setting may be one of them. We investigated the importance of the setting in which the short stay following outpatient THA or TKA takes place: was there a difference between the proportion of patients being discharged on the DOS from an ambulatory surgery center (ASC) compared with patients staying on an arthroplasty ward?Patients and methods - 50 patients (30 TKA, 20 THA) were included in the study and postoperatively randomized to either staying in the ASC or the arthroplasty ward until discharge. All patients were operated under general anesthesia by the same experienced surgeon (HH) and were discharged upon fulfillment of standardized discharge criteria.Results - 24/25 of the patients who stayed in the ASC compared with 20/25 of the patients on the arthroplasty ward were discharged on the DOS following fulfillment of discharge criteria (p = 0.08). All THA patients were discharged on the DOS and significantly more TKA patients were discharged from the ASC (15/16) vs. from the ward (9/14) (p = 0.04).Interpretation - Despite fixed discharge criteria, the logistical setting may play a role for achieving discharge on DOS and the ASC may facilitate achieving discharge criteria earlier especially in TKA.
