Givens J, Schmidt CM, Patel R, Kucharik M, Grayson W, Chase C, Davis CM, Christmas KN, Simon P, Frankle MA. Factors affecting risk of recurrence with periprosthetic infection in shoulder arthroplasty. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2024; 33:S80-S85. [PMID: 38182021 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2023.11.013] [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: 06/28/2023] [Revised: 11/01/2023] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The goal of treating periprosthetic infection, besides its eradication, is to avoid recurrence. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of increasing Infection Severity (IS) score (based on the 2018 International Consensus Meeting on Orthopedic Infections statement), single-stage revision, and pathogenicity of the infective organism on the risk of infection recurrence. METHODS A database of 790 revisions performed by a single surgeon from 2004-2020 was reviewed for patients with minimum 2-year follow-up and ≥1 positive culture finding and/or pathology result from the revision surgical procedure. In total, 157 cases performed in 144 patients met the inclusion criteria. These cases were then categorized by infection probability (IS score) according to the 2018 consensus statement. Of 157 cases, 46 (29%) were classified as definitely or probably infected; 25 (16%), possibly infected; and 86 (55%), unlikely to be infected. Additionally, patients were grouped by single-stage surgery and pathogenicity of the infective organism. RESULTS A recurrence in this study was classified as the growth of the same organism in any patient requiring revision surgery. The 86 cases in the group with unlikely infection showed a recurrence rate of 2.3%. The 25 cases in the group with possible infection showed a recurrence rate of 12%. The 46 cases in the group with definite or probable infection showed a recurrence rate of 17.4%. Patients in the definite/probable infection group had a higher rate of recurrence than those in the groups with possible infection and unlikely infection (P = .009). The IS score was higher in the recurrence group than the non-recurrence group (7.5 ± 4.3 vs. 3.9 ± 3.4, P < .001). Overall, patients who underwent 1-stage revision had a 5.0% recurrence rate, but among the 34 patients with an infection classification of definite or probable who underwent 1-stage revision, the recurrence rate was 5.9%. Cases of highly virulent methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus also showed a recurrence rate of 30.8% compared with 4.0% and 5.9% for Cutibacterium acnes and coagulase-negative staphylococci, respectively (P = .005). CONCLUSION Recurrent infection after treatment of a periprosthetic infection is associated with increasing severity scores, as defined in the 2018 consensus statement, and more aggressive microorganisms. However, a single-stage surgical procedure, even in patients with higher IS scores, did not impart a significantly increased risk of recurrence.

Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2024:103881. [PMID: 38582223 DOI: 10.1016/j.otsr.2024.103881] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2023] [Revised: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 12/22/2023] [Indexed: 04/08/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Similar to the management of periprosthetic joint infections of the lower limb, one-stage revision in total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) infections is an option that has been highlighted in scientific publications since the early 2010s. However, there are only a few studies which validate this treatment and determine its scope of application in relation to two-stage treatment. HYPOTHESIS Single-stage revision for infected TSA is a reliable treatment allowing good infection control and satisfactory functional results. METHODS This single-center retrospective series of 34 consecutive patients operated on between 2014 and 2020 for a one-stage prosthetic revision was evaluated at a minimum of 2 years of follow-up. All of the patients included underwent revision shoulder arthroplasty during this period with the diagnosis of infection confirmed by microbiological analysis of surgical samples. Patients who did not benefit from a bipolar revision were excluded. All patients were followed at least 2 years after the intervention. Clinically suspected recurrence of infection was confirmed by a periprosthetic sample under radiographic guidance. Functional clinical outcomes as well as mechanical complications were also reported. RESULTS The average follow-up was 40.4 months (24-102±21.6). A septic recurrence was observed in three patients (8.8%). A mechanical complication was present in four patients (14.7%), and three (11.8%) required at least one surgical revision. The mean Constant-Murley score at the last follow-up was 49 (42-57±21.83). DISCUSSION Single-stage revision for shoulder periprosthetic joint infection results in a success rate of 91.2% with satisfactory functional results after more than 2 years of follow-up. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV; retrospective study.

Abstract
Background We conducted a review of current literature to examine the effects of smoking and smoking cessation on shoulder arthroplasty surgery. Methods A literature search was performed using the search terms "shoulder arthroplasty AND [smoke OR smoking OR tobacco OR nicotine]." Studies included English-language clinical outcomes studies on anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), reverse TSA, and partial shoulder arthroplasty with evidence levels 1 through 4. Descriptive statistics calculated in the included studies were used during the analysis. Categorical variables were reported as proportions, while continuous variables were reported as means with minimum to maximum absolute ranges. Results Twenty-four studies were included and analyzed. Following TSA, patients who quit smoking at least 1 month preoperatively had improved outcomes compared to current smokers. Current smokers had statistically significant higher pain scores or opioid use. Five studies found increased rates of revision surgery in smokers. Smokers were significantly (p < 0.05) more likely to have increased rates of surgical, wound, superficial, and deep surgical site complications. Discussion Former smokers had lower complication rates and visual analog scale scores when compared to current users. A period of four weeks or more of preoperative smoking cessation is recommended. Level of Evidence Level III, Systematic Review.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The occurrence of prosthesis-related complications after total shoulder arthroplasty is devastating and costly. The purpose was to determine the incidence and risk of in-hospital prosthesis-related complications after total shoulder arthroplasty utilizing a large-scale sample database. METHODS A retrospective database analysis was performed based on Nationwide Inpatient Sample from 2010 to 2014. Patients who underwent total shoulder arthroplasty were included. Patient demographics, hospital characteristics, length of stay, economic indicators, in-hospital mortality, comorbidities, and peri-operative complications were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 34,198 cases were capture from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database. There were 343 cases of in-hospital prosthesis-related complications after total shoulder arthroplasty and the overall incidence was 1%, with a more than 2.5-fold decrease from 2010 to 2014. Dislocation was the most common category among prosthesis-related complications (0.1%). The occurrence of in-hospital prosthesis-related complications was associated with significantly more total charges and slightly longer length of stay while less usage of Medicare. Risk factors of prosthesis-related complications were identified including younger age (<64 years), female, the native American, hospital in the South, alcohol abuse, depression, uncomplicated diabetes, diabetes with chronic complications, fluid and electrolyte disorders, metastatic cancer, neurological disorders, and renal failure. Interestingly, advanced age (≥65 years) and proprietary hospital were found as protective factors. Furthermore, prosthesis-related complications were associated with aseptic necrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, rotator cuff tear arthropathy, Parkinson's disease, prior shoulder arthroscopy, and blood transfusion. CONCLUSIONS It is of benefit to study risk factors of prosthesis-related complications following total shoulder arthroplasty to ensure the appropriate management and optimize consequences although a relatively low incidence was identified.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Compared with the overall incidence of shoulder arthroplasty (SA), the relative risk and burden of revision may vary among patients specifically 40-50 years of age and less than 40 years of age. Our aim was to investigate the incidence of primary anatomic total SA and reverse SA, rate of revision within 1 year, and determine the associated economic burden in patients younger than 50 years. METHODS A total of 509 patients less than 50 years old who underwent SA were included, using a national private insurance database. Costs were based on the grossed covered payment. Multivariate analyses were performed to identify risk factors associated with revisions within 1 year of the index procedure. RESULTS SA incidence in patients less than 50 years old increased from 2.21 to 2.5 per 100,000 patients from 2017 to 2018. The overall revision rate was 3.9% with a mean time to revision of 96.3 days. Diabetes was a significant risk factor for revision (P = .043). Surgeries performed in patients less than 40 years old cost more than those performed in patients aged 40-50 years for both primary ($41,943 ± $23,842 vs. $39,477 ± $20,874) and revision cases ($40,370 ± $21,385 vs. $31,669 ± $10,430). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that the incidence of SA in patients less than 50 years old is higher than previously reported in the literature and most commonly reported for primary osteoarthritis. Given the high incidence of SA and subsequent high early revision rate in this subset population, our data portend a large associated socioeconomic burden. Policymakers and surgeons should use these data for implementing training programs focused on joint sparing techniques.

Abstract
Ream-and-run arthroplasty can improve pain and function in patients with glenohumeral arthritis while avoiding the complications and activity restrictions associated with a prosthetic glenoid component. However, stiffness is a known complication after ream-and-run arthroplasty and can lead to repeat procedures such as a manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) or open surgical revision. The objective of this study was to determine risk factors associated with repeat procedures indicated for postoperative stiffness after ream-and-run arthroplasty. Methods We conducted a retrospective review of our shoulder arthroplasty database to identify patients who underwent ream-and-run arthroplasty and determined which patients underwent subsequent repeat procedures (MUA and/or open revision) indicated for postoperative stiffness. The minimum follow-up was 2 years. We collected baseline demographic information and preoperative and 2-year patient-reported outcome scores and analyzed preoperative radiographs. Univariate and multivariate analyses determined the factors significantly associated with repeat procedures to treat postoperative stiffness. Results There were 340 patients who underwent ream-and-run arthroplasty. The mean Simple Shoulder Test (SST) scores for all patients improved from 5.0 ± 2.4 preoperatively to 10.2 ± 2.6 postoperatively (p < 0.001). Twenty-six patients (7.6%) underwent open revision for stiffness. An additional 35 patients (10.3%) underwent MUA. Univariate analysis found younger age (p = 0.001), female sex (p = 0.034), lower American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class (p = 0.045), posterior decentering on preoperative radiographs (p = 0.010), and less passive forward elevation at the time of discharge after ream-and-run arthroplasty (p < 0.001) to be significant risk factors for repeat procedures. Multivariate analysis found younger age (p = 0.040), ASA class 1 compared with class 3 (p = 0.020), and less passive forward elevation at discharge (p < 0.001) to be independent risk factors for repeat procedures. Of the patients who underwent open revision for stiffness, 69.2% had multiple positive cultures for Cutibacterium. Conclusions Younger age, ASA class 1 compared with class 3, and less passive forward elevation in the immediate postoperative period were independent risk factors for repeat procedures to treat postoperative stiffness after ream-and-run arthroplasty. Level of Evidence Prognostic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Abstract
Background The recent increasing popularity of shoulder arthroplasty has been paralleled by a rise in prevalence of diabetes in the United States. We aimed to evaluate the impact of diabetes status on readmission and short-term complications among patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty. Methods We analyzed the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project National Readmissions Database (NRD) between the years 2016-2018. Patients were included in the study if they underwent anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) or reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) according to ICD-10 procedure codes. Postoperative complications including surgical site/joint infection, dislocation, prosthetic complications, hardware-related complications, non-infectious wound complications, 30-day, and 90-day readmission were collected. Results A total of 113,713 shoulder arthroplasty patients were included. 23,749 (20.9%) had a diagnosis of diabetes and 89,964 (79.1%) did not. On multivariate analysis, a diagnosis of diabetes led to an increased risk of 30-day (OR: 1.24; 95% CI: [1.14, 1.34]; p < 0.001) and 90-day (OR: 1.18; 95% CI: [1.12, 1.25]; p < 0.001) readmission, surgical site/joint infection (OR: 1.21; 95% CI: [1.06, 1.38]; p = 0.005), respiratory complication (OR: 1.34; 95% CI: [1.09, 1.64]; p = 0.005), postoperative infection (OR: 1.22; 95% CI [1.07, 1.39]; p = 0.003), and deep vein thrombosis (OR: 1.38; 95% CI: [1.09, 1.74]; p = 0.007). Conclusions Our findings suggest that patients with diabetes may be at an increased risk of readmission, infection, respiratory complication, and deep vein thrombosis following shoulder arthroplasty. Shoulder surgeons should consider these potential adverse events when planning postoperative care for patients with diabetes.

Predictors of success following single-stage revision shoulder arthroplasty: results at a mean of five year follow-up in one hundred and twelve patients. INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS 2023; 47:831-838. [PMID: 36547701 DOI: 10.1007/s00264-022-05653-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 12/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The objective was to determine factors associated with a successful outcome at a minimum of two years after revision of a failed shoulder arthroplasty. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of revision shoulder arthroplasties performed over a ten year period and collected patient-reported outcome data and re-revision data. A successful outcome was defined by improvement greater than the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for the Simple Shoulder Test (SST). RESULTS One hundred twelve patients with average follow-up of five years were included. Improvement of VAS pain scores (6.6 ± 2.3 to 2.9 ± 2.6) and SST scores (2.7 ± 2.6 to 6.6 ± 3.3) were significant (p < 0.001). Males were more likely to have a successful outcome than females (p = 0.01). CONCLUSION Two-thirds of patients experienced clinically significant improvement at a minimum of two years after revision shoulder arthroplasty. Male sex was the strongest independent predictor of a successful outcome.

The reliability of revision rates following primary shoulder arthroplasty as a quality indicator to rank hospital performance: a national registry analysis including 13,104 shoulders and 87 hospitals. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2023; 32:59-67. [PMID: 35872169 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2022.06.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2022] [Revised: 05/27/2022] [Accepted: 06/05/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To assess the extent of between-hospital variation in revision following primary shoulder arthroplasty (SA), both overall and for specific revision indications to guide quality improvement initiatives, and to assess whether revision rates are suitable as quality indicators to reliably rank hospital performance. METHODS All primary SAs performed between 2014 and 2018 were included from the Dutch Arthroplasty Register to examine 1-year revision and all primary SAs performed between 2014 and 2016 for 1- and 3-year revisions. For each hospital, the observed number (O) of revisions was compared with that expected (E) based on case-mix and depicted in funnel plots with 95% control limits to identify outlier hospitals. The rankability (ie, the reliability of ranking hospitals) was calculated as the percentage of total hospital variation due to true between-hospital differences rather than chance and categorized as low (<50%), moderate (50%-75%), and high (>75%). RESULTS A total of 13,104 primary SAs (87 hospitals) in 2014-2018 were included, of which 7213 were performed between 2014 and 2016. Considerable between-hospital variation was found in 1-year revision in 2014-2016 (median 1.6%, interquartile range 0.0%-3.1%), identifying 3 outlier hospitals having overall significantly more revisions than expected (O/E range 1.9-2.3) and for specific indications (cuff pathology and infection). Results for 2014-2018 were similar. For 3-year revision, 3 outlier hospitals were identified (O/E range 1.7-3.3). Rankabilities for all outcomes were low. CONCLUSIONS Considerable between-hospital variation was observed for 1- and 3-year revision rates following primary SA, where outlier hospitals could be identified based on large differences in revision for specific indications to direct quality improvement initiatives. However, rankabilities were low, meaning that much of the other (smaller) variation in performance could not be detected, rendering revisions unsuitable to rank hospital performances following primary SA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Complications and revisions following anatomic (aTSA) and reverse (rTSA) total shoulder arthroplasty have deleterious effects on patient function and satisfaction. The purpose of this study is to evaluate patient-specific, implant-specific and technique-specific risk factors for intraoperative complications, postoperative complications, and the occurrence of revisions after aTSA and rTSA. METHODS A total of 2964 aTSA and 5616 rTSA patients were enrolled in an international database of primary shoulder arthroplasty. Intra- and postoperative complications, as well as revisions, were reported and evaluated. Multivariate analyses were performed to quantify the risk factors associated with complications and revisions. RESULTS aTSA patients had a significantly higher complication rate (P = .0026) and a significantly higher revision rate (P < .0001) than rTSA patients, but aTSA patients also had a significantly longer average follow-up (P < .0001) than rTSA patients. No difference (P = .2712) in the intraoperative complication rate was observed between aTSA and rTSA patients. Regarding intraoperative complications, female sex (odds ratio [OR] 2.0, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.17-3.68) and previous shoulder surgery (OR 2.9, 95% CI 1.73-4.90) were identified as significant risk factors. In regard to postoperative complications, younger age (OR 0.987, 95% CI 0.977-0.996), diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (OR 1.76, 95% 1.12-2.65), and previous shoulder surgery (OR 1.42, 95% CI 1.16-1.72) were noted to be risks factors. Finally, in regard to revision surgery, younger age (OR 0.964, 95% CI 0.933-0.998), more glenoid retroversion (OR 1.03, 95% CI 1.001-1.058), larger humeral stem size (OR 1.09, 95% CI 1.01-1.19), larger humeral liner thickness or offset (OR 1.50, 95% CI 1.18-1.96), larger glenosphere diameter (OR 1.16, 95% CI 1.07-1.26), and more intraoperative blood loss (OR 1.002, 95% CI 1.001-1.004) were noted to be risk factors. CONCLUSIONS Studying the impact of numerous patient- and implant-specific risk factors and determining their impact on complications and revision shoulder arthroplasty can assist surgeons in counseling patients and guide patient expectations following aTSA or rTSA. Care should be taken in patients with a history of previous shoulder surgery, who are at increased risk of both intra- and postoperative complications.

Abstract
Post-surgical infections arise due to various contributing factors. Most important is the presence of potential pathogenic microorganisms in the skin complemented by the patient´s health status. Cutibacterium acnes is commonly present in the pilosebaceous glands and hair follicle funnels in human skin. After surgical intervention, these highly prevalent, slow-growing bacteria can be found in the deeper tissues and in proximity of implants. C. acnes is frequently implicated in post-surgical infections, often resulting in the need for revision surgery. This review summarizes the current understanding of microbial dynamics in shoulder surgical infections. In particular, we shed light on the contribution of C. acnes to post-surgical shoulder infections as well as their colonization and immune-modulatory potential. Despite being persistently found in post-surgical tissues, C. acnes is often underestimated as a causative organism due to its slow growth and the inefficient detection methods. We discuss the role of the skin environment constituted by microbial composition and host cellular status in influencing C. acnes recolonization potential. Future mapping of the individual skin microbiome in shoulder surgery patients using advanced molecular methods would be a useful approach for determining the risk of post-operative infections.

Does the retention of osseointegrated prosthetic implants during the surgical management of chronic infections following reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) influence functional outcomes without impacting the efficacy of the infection treatment? Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2021; 107:102906. [PMID: 33789197 DOI: 10.1016/j.otsr.2021.102906] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2020] [Revised: 10/22/2020] [Accepted: 11/23/2020] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The gold standard (GS) for treating chronic infections following reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) is a complete exchange of the prosthesis carried out in one or two stages. This surgical procedure, which may damage the bone stock, can result in poor functional outcomes due to intraoperative complications. The purpose of this study was to compare the GS to a surgical technique that retained osseointegrated implants: the partial one-stage exchange. HYPOTHESIS Partial one-stage exchange was effective in treating chronic infections after RTSA (no recurrent infection) and resulted in better functional outcomes than the GS. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective single-center study included 18 patients with chronic infection after a primary RTSA. Two treatments were compared in a non-randomized fashion. The first included 11 patients who underwent a partial one-stage exchange with implant retention in case of macroscopic osseointegration. The second included seven patients who were treated with the GS: six patients with a complete one-stage exchange and one patient with a two-stage surgical approach. The absence of recurrent infection and functional outcomes were assessed after a minimum of two years. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in treatment efficacy between the two strategies: 91% vs. 100%, respectively. The partial one-stage exchange resulted in a significantly improved shoulder function compared to the GS with postoperative Constant scores of 55±14.58 vs. 44±14.45, respectively (p=.03). In the partial one-stage exchange group, there was a significantly improved shoulder function with a preoperative Constant score of 40 [28-55]±9.04 preoperatively vs. 55 [25-75]±14.58 postoperatively (p=.01). The GS treatment did not significantly improve the postoperative function (p=.09). DISCUSSION Partial one-stage exchange does not compromise treatment efficacy of chronic infections after RTSA. This technique resulted in better shoulder function than a conventional GS-type management. A study with greater statistical power is required. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III; clinical series, retrospective, single-center.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the impact of the Charlson and Elixhauser comorbidity indices on patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) following shoulder arthroplasty. METHODS Patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA), or hemiarthroplasty (HA) from 2016 to 2018 were identified, along with the Charlson and Elixhauser comorbidities listed as their secondary diagnoses in the electronic medical records. Patients were matched to our institution's registry to obtain their PROMs, including shoulder-specific (American Shoulder and Elbow Society (ASES) and Shoulder Activity Scale (SAS)) and general health scales (12-Item Short Form Survey (SF-12) and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-Pain Interference). Linear regression models adjusting for age and sex were used to evaluate the association between increasing number of comorbidities and PROM scores. A total of 1,817 shoulder arthroplasties were performed: 1,017 (56%) TSA, 726 (40%) RSA, and 74 (4%) HA. The mean age was 67 years (SD 10), and 936 (52%) of the patients were female. RESULTS The most common comorbidities were obesity (1,256, 69%) and hypertension (990, 55%). Patients with more comorbidities had lower ASES and SAS scores at baseline (p < 0.001). Elixhauser comorbidities continued to negatively impact ASES and SAS scores at one year (p = 0.002) and two-year follow-up (p = 0.002). Patients with more comorbidities reported greater pain interference on PROMIS at baseline (p = 0.007), but not at two years. Higher number of Charlson comorbidities were associated with lower scores on the SF-12 mental component at baseline (p < 0.001) and two years (p = 0.020). Higher number of Elixhauser comorbidities were associated with lower SF-12 physical component scores at baseline (p < 0.001) and two years (p = 0.004). CONCLUSION Higher number of comorbidities was associated with lower baseline scores and worse outcomes on both shoulder-specific and general health PROMs. The presence of specific comorbidities may be used during shared decision-making to manage expectations for patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty.

Abstract
Background Few studies have evaluated the effect of hepatitis C (HCV) on primary total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). Our purpose was to determine if HCV infection is associated with increased complication rates after TSA in United States (US) veterans and, secondarily, to determine if preoperative HCV treatment with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) affects postoperative complication rates. Methods US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) data sets were used to retrospectively identify patients without HCV, patients with untreated HCV, and patients with HCV treated with DAAs who underwent TSA from 2014 to 2019. Medical and surgical complications were assessed using International Classification of Diseases codes. Complication rates between patients with HCV (treated and untreated) and patients without HCV and between HCV-treated patients and HCV-untreated patients were compared at 90 days and 1 year after surgery. Results We identified 5774 primary TSAs that were performed at VA hospitals between 2014 and 2019. A minority (9.5%) of TSA patients had HCV, 23.4% of whom were treated preoperatively with DAAs. On multivariate analysis, HCV patients had increased odds of 1-year medical complications (odds ratio, 1.39; 95% confidence interval, 1.06-1.81, P = .016), when compared with patients without HCV. No statistically significant difference in complication rates was observed between HCV-treated and HCV-untreated patients. Discussion US veterans with a history of HCV are at an increased risk of developing medical but not surgical complications within the first year after TSA. Larger studies are necessary to evaluate the effects of DAA treatment on complication rates.
