Cochrane NH, Kim BI, Seyler TM, Bolognesi MP, Ryan SP, Ledford CK. Timing of Renal Transplant Prior to Total Knee Arthroplasty Impacts 90-Day Postoperative Outcomes. J Arthroplasty 2024; 39:2261-2265.e1. [PMID: 38522801 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.03.037] [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: 09/26/2023] [Revised: 03/13/2024] [Accepted: 03/15/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal transplant (RT) patients are at increased risk for complications after total knee arthroplasty (TKA); however, it is unknown if the time from RT to TKA influences such risks. This study evaluated RT patients undergoing primary TKA at various time intervals after transplant. We hypothesized that increased time between RT and TKA would decrease the risk of complications after TKA. METHODS There were 499 RT patients in a national database undergoing subsequent primary TKA from 2010 to 2020. Patients were stratified by intervals of less than 1 year, between 1 and 2 years, and more than 2 years from RT to TKA. Medical complications up to 90 days, readmissions, and 2-year revisions were compared via univariable and multivariable analyses. RESULTS Patients who underwent TKA less than 1 year after RT were associated with higher 90-day medical complications when compared to those who underwent TKA 1 to 2 years after RT (odds ratio [OR] 0.4, confidence interval [CI] 0.2 to 0.8, P = .01) and more than 2 years (OR 0.3, CI 0.2 to 0.7, P < .01) after RT. Acute kidney injury and blood transfusion were the most common complications. The TKAs performed 2 years after RT were less likely to have 90-day readmissions when compared to TKAs performed less than 1 year after RT (OR 0.4, CI: 0.2 to 0.9, P < .01). However, time from RT to TKA did not increase the risk of revision at 2 years (P > .30). CONCLUSIONS Patients undergoing TKA within 1 year of RT have an increased risk of 90-day postoperative medical complications and readmissions, but the time interval from RT does not appear to affect revision risk. These findings suggest waiting 1 year after RT before proceeding with TKA may be advantageous.

Unseen Threefold Mortality After the First Ten Days in Hemodialysis Patients Following Joint Arthroplasty: A Nationwide Retrospective Cohort Study of 1,287 Arthroplasty Patients on Hemodialysis. J Arthroplasty 2024; 39:2205-2212. [PMID: 38522803 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.03.036] [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: 10/16/2023] [Revised: 03/13/2024] [Accepted: 03/15/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The study addresses the growing number of hemodialysis (HD) patients undergoing joint arthroplasty, who are at higher risk of complications and mortality. Previous research has often overlooked deaths after discharge. This study aimed to examine early outcomes in a large nationwide cohort of patients who underwent arthroplasty for elective and fracture-related reasons. METHODS Between 2016 and 2022, a study was conducted using the e-Nabız database of the Türkiye Ministry of Health, focusing on patients aged 18 years and above who underwent elective or fracture-related arthroplasty. This study included 1,287 patients reliant on dialysis who underwent total hip arthroplasty, total knee arthroplasty, or hemiarthroplasty (HA), with 7.7% of them receiving dialysis for the first time. Propensity score matching was used to create an equally sized group of non-dialysis-dependent patients, ensuring demographic balance in terms of age, sex, a comorbidity index, and surgery type. The primary objective was to compare mortality rates 10, 30, and 90 days after arthroplasty. RESULTS The first-time dialysis patients who underwent HA had significantly higher 30- and 90-day mortality rates compared to the chronic dialysis group (P = .040 and P < .001, respectively). Also, the HD patients consistently exhibited higher 90-day mortality rates across all surgery types. With total knee arthroplasty, HD patients had a mortality rate of 8.7%, in stark contrast to 0% among non-HD patients (P < .001). Similarly, with total hip arthroplasty, HD patients had a 12% mortality rate, while non-HD patients had a markedly lower rate of 2.7% (P = .008). In the case of HA, HD patients had a significantly elevated 90-day mortality rate of 31.9%, in contrast to 17.1% among non-HD patients (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Joint arthroplasty has higher rates of mortality and complications among HD patients. Surgical decisions must be based on patients' overall health, necessitating collaboration among specialists. These patients should be closely monitored.

Impact of diabetic kidney disease on post-operative complications after primary elective total hip arthroplasty: a nationwide database analysis. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2024; 25:551. [PMID: 39014378 PMCID: PMC11250941 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-024-07653-1] [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: 02/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/02/2024] [Indexed: 07/18/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The high prevalence of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in the United States necessitates further investigation into its impact on complications associated with total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study utilizes a large nationwide database to explore risk factors in DKD cases undergoing THA. METHODS This research utilized a case-control design, leveraging data from the national inpatient sample for the years 2016 to 2019. Employing propensity score matching (PSM), patients diagnosed with DKD were paired on a 1:1 basis with individuals free of DKD, ensuring equivalent age, sex, race, Elixhauser Comorbidity Index (ECI), and insurance coverage. Subsequently, comparisons were drawn between these PSM-matched cohorts, examining their characteristics and the incidence of post-THA complications. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was then employed to evaluate the risk of early complications after surgery. RESULTS DKD's prevalence in the THA cohort was 2.38%. A 7-year age gap separated DKD and non-DKD patients (74 vs. 67 years, P < 0.0001). Additionally, individuals aged above 75 exhibited a substantial 22.58% increase in DKD risk (49.16% vs. 26.58%, P < 0.0001). Notably, linear regression analysis yielded a significant association between DKD and postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI), with DKD patients demonstrating 2.274-fold greater odds of AKI in contrast with non-DKD individuals (95% CI: 2.091-2.473). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that DKD is a significant risk factor for AKI in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. Optimizing preoperative kidney function through appropriate interventions might decrease the risk of poor prognosis in this population. More prospective research is warranted to investigate the potential of targeted kidney function improvement strategies in reducing AKI rates after THA. The findings of this study hold promise for enhancing preoperative counseling by surgeons, enabling them to provide DKD patients undergoing THA with more precise information regarding the risks associated with their condition.

Staged Bi-compartmental Knee Arthroplasty for Contralateral Compartment Failure After Medial Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty in Dialysis Patients: Two Case Reports. Cureus 2024; 16:e62892. [PMID: 39040782 PMCID: PMC11262787 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.62892] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 06/22/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is a minimally invasive surgical technique with good clinical outcomes; however, its outcomes in patients undergoing hemodialysis are unknown. Herein, we report two cases of patients undergoing hemodialysis who underwent staged bi-compartmental UKA (Bi-UKA) for early contralateral compartment failure after medial UKA. We describe the case of early contralateral compartment failure after medial UKA in two women patients aged 71 and 72 years with a dialysis history of seven and 22 years, respectively. Three months after right medial UKA, she had persistent joint edema and arthralgia after minor trauma, with recurrent gait disturbance in the first case. An MRI showed a bone marrow lesion in the contralateral compartment, and a lateral UKA was added. In the second case, the knee pain worsened without any trigger three years after leaving the medial UKA. A subchondral insufficiency fracture (SIF) was diagnosed by a plain radiograph showing a radiolucent area on the lateral femoral condyle. Gait disturbance did not improve, and a lateral UKA was performed. In our hospital, medial UKA was performed on seven knees of dialysis patients in 10 years since 2011, and contralateral compartment failure was observed in two knees at an early stage. In both cases, lumbar bone density was normal and there was no postoperative overcorrection in leg alignment, but a SIF of the contralateral side occurred, suggesting that bone fragility of the contralateral compartment due to long-term dialysis was the underlying cause. Staged Bi-UKA was minimally invasive and useful as a revision surgery.

Abstract
Orthopedic surgeons treating fractures need to consider comorbidities, including chronic kidney disease (CKD), which affects millions worldwide. CKD patients are at elevated risk of fractures due to osteoporosis, especially in advanced stages. In addition, fractures in CKD patients pose challenges due to impaired bone healing and increased post-fracture complications including surgical site infection and nonunion. In this article, we will discuss factors that must be considered when treating fractures in CKD patients. Perioperative management includes careful adjustment of hemodialysis schedules, selection of anesthetic methods, and addressing bleeding tendencies. Tourniquet usage for fractures in limbs with arteriovenous fistulae should be cautious. Pain medication should be administered carefully, with opioids like hydromorphone preferred over nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Medical management after fractures should address underlying factors and include physical rehabilitation to reduce the risk of subsequent fractures. A comprehensive approach to fracture management in CKD patients can improve outcomes.

J Arthroplasty 2023; 38:2336-2341.e1. [PMID: 37236290 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2023.05.028] [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: 11/11/2022] [Revised: 05/10/2023] [Accepted: 05/17/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in end-stage renal disease is associated with complications. Controversy exists whether elective TKA should be performed while patients are on hemodialysis (HD) or following renal transplant (RT). This study compares TKA outcomes in HD versus RT patients. METHODS A national database was retrospectively reviewed using International Classification of Diseases codes to identify HD and RT patients who underwent primary TKA from 2010 to 2018. Demographics, comorbidities, and hospital factors were compared using Wald and Chi-squared tests. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortalities while secondary outcomes included quality outcomes and medical/surgical complications. Multivariate regressions were used to determine independent associations. Significance was determined with a 2-tailed P value of .05. There were 13,611 patients who underwent TKA (61.1 HD and 38.9% RT). Patients who had RT were younger, had fewer comorbidities, and more likely to have private insurance. RESULTS The RT patients had a lower rate of mortality (odds ratio (OR) 0.23, P < .01)), complications (OR 0.63, P < .01), cardiopulmonary complications (OR 0.44, P = .02), sepsis (OR 0.22, P < .001), and blood transfusion (OR 0.35, P < .001) during the index hospitalization. This cohort was also found to have decreased length of stay (-2.0 days, P < .001), non-home discharge (OR 0.57, P < .001), and hospital cost (-$5,300, P < .001). Patients who had RT had a lower rate of readmission (OR 0.54, P < .001), periprosthetic joint infection (OR 0.50, P < .01), and surgical site infection (OR 0.37, P < .001) within 90 days. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that HD patients are a high-risk population in TKA compared to RT patients and warrant stringent perioperative monitoring.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify deep infection risk factors in patients with open tibial shaft fractures and to develop a scoring algorithm to predict the baseline deep infection risk in this patient population. METHODS A retrospective cohort study conducted at a single academic trauma center identified patients with open tibial shaft fractures treated with intramedullary nail fixation from December 2006 to October 2020. The primary outcome was a deep surgical site infection requiring surgical debridement. The outcome was identified by Current Procedural Terminology codes and confirmed with a medical chart review documenting evidence of a tibial draining wound or sinus tract. RESULTS Deep surgical site infection occurred in 13% of patients (97/769). Factors that predicted deep surgical site infection were identified. Gustilo-Anderson type IIIB or IIIC was the strongest predictor with a 12-fold increase in the odds of deep infection (OR 11.8, p < 0.001). Additional factors included age >40 years (OR 1.7, p = 0.03), American Society of Anesthesiologists score ≥3 (OR 1.9, p < 0.01), Gustilo-Anderson type IIIA vs. type I or II (OR 2.8, p = 0.004), and gunshot wounds (OR 2.9, p = 0.02). The risk scoring model predicted patients who would develop an infection with an acceptable level of accuracy (AUC 0.79). The risk score categorized patients from a low probability of deep infection 2%-6% with <10 points to high risk (58%-69%) with >40 points. CONCLUSIONS This risk score model predicts deep postoperative infection in patients with open tibial shaft fractures treated with intramedullary nails. The ability to accurately estimate deep infection risk at the time of presentation might aid patient expectation management and allow clinicians to focus infection prevention strategies on the high-risk subset of this population.

J Arthroplasty 2023:S0883-5403(23)00014-1. [PMID: 36708938 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2023.01.014] [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: 06/14/2022] [Revised: 01/09/2023] [Accepted: 01/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients who have kidney failure are at higher risk of requiring total hip arthroplasty (THA) and are at higher risk of complications. This study compared the rate of revision surgery and mortality following THA between patients who have kidney failure receiving long term dialysis or who had a kidney transplant and those who did not have kidney failure. METHODS A data linkage study was performed using data from 2 national registries: a registry of dialysis and kidney transplant patients and a registry of THA procedures. Both registries had coverage of almost all procedures or treatments in Australia. Data from September 1999 to December 2016 were used. Mortality and revision surgery were compared between patients receiving dialysis, those who had a functioning kidney transplant, and patients who did not have kidney failure using Cox and Fine-Gray (competing risk) regression models. A total of 383,478 primary THA procedures were identified as people receiving dialysis (n = 490), who had a functioning kidney transplant (n = 459), or who did not have kidney failure (n = 382,529). RESULTS There was no significant difference in the overall rate of revision surgery between the groups (dialysis versus no kidney failure HR = 1.20; 95% CI 0.76, 1.88, transplant versus no kidney failure (hazard ratio) HR = 1.01; 95% (confidence interval) CI 0.66, 1.53). The risk for death after surgery was significantly higher in the dialysis group compared to both the functioning transplant group (HR = 3.44; 95%CI 1.58, 7.5), and in those without kidney failure (HR = 4.13; 95%CI 3.25, 5.25). CONCLUSION The rate of mortality after THA in patients on dialysis is higher than in patients who have a functioning transplant or those who do not have kidney failure, but there is no early excess mortality to suggest a difference in this metric due to the surgery.

Orthop Surg 2022; 15:591-605. [PMID: 36453119 PMCID: PMC9891927 DOI: 10.1111/os.13589] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2022] [Revised: 10/13/2022] [Accepted: 10/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE With the rising prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the increasing demand for joint arthroplasty, the management of CKD patients in the perioperative period of joint arthroplasty has become an issue worthy of attention for orthopedic surgeons. This study aimed to explore comprehensive perioperative period management strategies for CKD patients. METHODS From March 2017 to August 2022, 62 patients who underwent joint arthroplasty in our hospital were included in a retrospective study, including 31 CKD patients (mean age 69.8 ± 13.4 years old) and 31 non-CKD patients (mean age 69.4 ± 14.2 years old). The outcome indicators were analyzed, including serum urea, serum creatinine, blood uric acid, hematocrit, and hemoglobin. RESULTS All patients included in the retrospective study had an average preoperative preparation time of 4.3 ± 2.6 days and an average hospitalization time of 11.0 ± 7.3 days. There were no significant differences in the changes in the serum urea values between the preoperative and postoperative measurements in the CKD patients or in the serum creatinine values and blood uric acid values (P > 0.05). The hemoglobin value in postoperative measurements was lower than in preoperative measurements in the CKD patients (P < 0.05). The hematocrit value in postoperative measurements was lower than in preoperative measurements in the CKD patients (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Patients with CKD have distinct characteristics compared to non-CKD patients, and they generally have a higher risk for postoperative complications and adverse events. Recognition of risk factors, suitable timing of surgery, the undertaking of protective strategies, and proper management of complications are vital for managing CKD patients in the perioperative period of joint arthroplasty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been associated with poor outcomes following traumatic fractures, there is a scarcity of literature describing the effect on outcomes of ankle fractures. We will examine the impact of CKD on clinical outcomes following torsional ankle fracture, including complications and unplanned surgical procedures. METHODS A retrospective review of 1981 adult patients with torsional ankle fractures treated at a level 1 trauma center was performed to identify patients with CKD based on glomerular filtration rate. Demographic, injury, and treatment-related characteristics were collected. Outcomes included any unplanned procedure: implant removal, debridement, revision, arthrodesis, and amputation; in addition to complications of superficial infection, deep infection, and implant irritation. Patients with CKD were matched with patients without CKD by propensity score matching. Univariate comparisons between groups were conducted using chi-square and Mann-Whitney U tests. RESULTS 136 patients (68 with CKD and 68 without CKD) were analyzed. Of the 68 patients with CKD, the mean stage of disease was 3.7 with 24% on dialysis for a mean length of 4.1 years. Patients without CKD were more likely to undergo primary ORIF (100% vs 54%, P < .001). Thirty-five percent of patients with CKD had surgical complications vs 19% in the cohort without (P = .07). Patients with open fractures, dislocation, and chronic kidney disease were, respectively, 5.19, 3.77, and 3.91 times more likely to have any complication (P = .02, P = .05, P = .05). Patients with CKD were more likely to undergo unplanned arthrodesis (P = .01). Only dislocation was an independent predictor for unplanned procedure (odds ratio = 5.08, P = .026). CONCLUSION Following torsional ankle fracture, CKD is associated with increased likelihood of having a complication or an unplanned arthrodesis. Open fractures and dislocation at time of injury are also associated with complications. Our findings encourage caution about surgical treatment of ankle fractures in patients with CKD.

Abstract
Approximately 15% of the American adults have chronic kidney disease (CKD). Rates of CKD are higher in underserved communities: It is highest in African Americans (16%) and Hispanic individuals (14%). African Americans are more than 3 times as likely compared with their White counterparts to develop end-stage kidney disease, requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant. Rates of CKD are higher in the geriatric and socioeconomic disadvantaged populations, groups with higher rates of hip and knee osteoarthritis and with comorbidities, including obesity, diabetes mellitus, heart disease, and hypertension. CKD of any stage is associated with increased postoperative readmission, complications, and mortality. Patients on hemodialysis after total joint arthroplasty are at increased risk for complications, including periprosthetic joint infection, and given the reduction in risk after kidney transplant, there is varying opinion regarding whether patients on hemodialysis are safe arthroplasty candidates.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains a serious complication in orthopaedic surgery. C-reactive protein (CRP) is widely used as a marker to screen for inflammatory complications. The early postoperative course is well known, but knowledge about the predictive value of CRP in the first 6 postoperative days for detecting an acute postoperative PJI is lacking. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the inpatient course of CRP of all primary THA and THA with acute PJI within 28 days in our hospital from 2013 to 2021. A receiver-operating curve (ROC) analysis was performed and the best CRP threshold for detecting an acute PJI based on Youden's-index was calculated and an area-under-the curve (AUC) analysis of the threshold was performed. RESULTS 33 of 7042 patients included had an acute PJI within 28 days. Patients with acute PJI were older, had a higher BMI and longer operation time and suffered more often from diabetes mellitus. A preoperatively elevated CRP was a risk factor for PJI. CRP was significantly higher in the PJI group on postoperative days 3 and 5. Threshold values were calculated to be 152 mg/l on day 3 and 73 mg/l on day 5. However, these values had a low sensitivity (75%, 76%) and specificity (67%, 61%). CONCLUSION Especially considering the decreasing length of stay after THA, the question of the usefulness of regular inpatient CRP checks arises. AUC analysis of the ROC showed a poor diagnostic accuracy in almost all cases. Only the dynamic analysis of the maximum CRP value to the lowest CRP value with a decrease of 102.7 mg/l showed a fair accuracy. This calls into question the clinical relevance of CRP in the first postoperative week for detection of acute postoperative PJI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Arthroplasty patients with prior septic arthritis are at a high risk of developing periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). The aims of this study are to investigate the outcome and predictors of septic failure following total joint arthroplasty (TJA) for prior septic arthritis. In addition, the optimal timing of TJA is also discussed. METHODS A retrospective review of 105 TJA patients with prior septic arthritis between January 2000 and December 2019 was performed. Patient-specific and surgery-related factors, organism profiles, and other relevant variables were recorded. RESULTS At a mean follow-up of 10.3 years, the PJI rate was 16.2%. The adjusted Cox proportional hazards model showed that male gender (HR, 9.95; P < .01), end-stage renal disease (HR, 37.34; P < .01), debridement surgery ≥3 times (HR,4.75; P = .04) and polymicrobial infection in primary septic arthritis (HR, 10.02; P = .02) were independent risk factors for PJI. Neither the types of initial debridement, nor one-stage vs two-stage arthroplasty was related to the risk of PJI. While delaying the timing of TJA did not correlate with a reduction of PJI rate, there was a higher risk of PJI re-infection by the same microorganisms isolated in prior septic arthritis if TJA was performed within 6 months after septic arthritis. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated that male gender, end-stage renal disease (ESRD), multiple debridement surgeries and polymicrobial septic arthritis predisposed septic failure of TJA following prior septic arthritis. Surgeons should counsel patients with the potential complications, and be cognizant about the risk factors pertaining to septic failure when considering TJA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Total hip arthroplasty (THA) in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients is associated with increased complications. Controversy exists whether elective THA should be performed while these patients are on haemodialysis (HD) or following renal transplant (RT). This study seeks to compare THA outcomes in HD versus RT patients. METHODS A national database was retrospectively reviewed using ICD codes to identify all HD and RT patients who underwent primary THA from 2010 to 2018. Demographics, comorbidities, and hospital factors were compared between cohorts using Wald and chi-square tests. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality, while secondary outcomes included length of stay (LOS), non-home discharge, cost, readmission, and medical/surgical complications. Multivariate regression was used to determine independent associations. Significance was determined with a 2-tailed p-value of 0.05. RESULTS 11,133 patients underwent THA, 61.6% HD and 39.4% RT patients. RT patients were younger, had fewer comorbidities, and more likely to have private insurance. After adjusting for these differences, RT patients had a lower rate of mortality (OR 0.31, p = 0.01), complications (OR 0.54, p < 0.01), cardiopulmonary complications (OR 0.54, p = 0.04), sepsis (OR 0.43, p < 0.01), and blood transfusion (OR 0.39, p < 0.001) during the index hospitalisation. RT was associated with decreased LOS (-2.0 days, p < 0.001), non-home discharge (OR 0.35, p < 0.001), and hospital cost (-$6,000, p < 0.001). RT had a lower rate of readmission (OR 0.60, p < 0.001) and revision surgery (OR 0.24, p = 0.01) within 90 days. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest HD patients are a high-risk population in THA compared to RT patients and warrant stringent perioperative monitoring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a potentially debilitating condition, often requiring total hip arthroplasty (THA). Patients on hemodialysis (HD) are at increased risk for complications after THA for osteoarthritis, however there is limited information on outcomes of THA for ONFH in patients on HD. With increasing prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) requiring HD, studies are needed to characterize the risk of complications in these patients. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate HD as a potential risk factor for complication after THA in patients with ONFH on HD. METHODS Patients on HD with ONFH who underwent THA with at least 2 years of follow-up were identified using a combination of ICD-9 and CPT codes in a national insurance database. A 10:1 matched control cohort of patients with ONFH not on HD was created for comparison. A logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate rates of death, hospital readmission, emergency room (ER) visit, infection, revision, and dislocation between cohorts. Differences in hospital charges, reimbursement, and length of stay between the two groups were also assessed. RESULTS One thousand one hundred thirty-seven patients on HD who underwent THA for ONFH were compared to a matched control cohort of 11,182 non-HD patients who underwent THA for ONFH. Patients on HD experienced higher rates of death (HD 4.1%, non-HD 0.9%; odds ratio [OR] 3.35, p < 0.01), hospital readmission (HD 16.1%, non-HD 5.9%; OR 2.69, p < 0.01) and ER visit (HD 10.4%, non-HD 7.4% OR 1.5, p < 0.01). Hemodialysis was not associated with higher risk of infection, revision, or dislocation, but was associated with significantly higher charges (p < 0.01), reimbursement (p < 0.01), and hospital length of stay (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS While patients on HD do not have increased risk of implant-related complications, they are at increased risk of developing medical complications following THA for ONFH and subsequently may require more resources. Orthopedic surgeons and nephrologists should be cognizant of the increased risk in this population to provide appropriate preoperative counseling and enhanced perioperative medical management.

Abstract
UNLABELLED End stage renal disease (ESRD) is an independent risk factor for the development of hip fractures and is associated with a higher mortality and complication rates. As these patients significantly skew healthcare financing in a bundled care payment (BCP) program, a risk stratified approach to BCPs could be done to take into account the difference in resources required. INTRODUCTION End stage renal disease (ESRD) is an independent risk factor for the development of hip fractures and is associated with a higher mortality and complication rate. Hip fracture patients with ESRD may significantly skew healthcare financing in a bundled care payment (BCP) program. MATERIALS AND METHODS ESRD patients undergoing hip fracture surgery from June 2007 to June 2012 within a tertiary hospital in Singapore were identified and matched to two other controls without ESRD based on secondary features of sex, age, fracture type, and surgery performed. Data was collected for American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) score, duration of surgery (DOS), length of stay (LOS), 30-day and 1-year mortality, and the presence of 10 other comorbidities: diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HTN), hyperlipidemia (HLD), ischemic heart disease (IHD), arrhythmia (ARR), cerebrovascular disease (CVA), dementia (DEM), asthma (ASTH), peripheral vascular disease (PVD), and anemia (ANE) from electronic medical records. Costs were retrieved from the gross acute hospitalization bill. RESULTS Forty-one ESRD patients were successfully matched with 82 controls. Patients with ESRD had higher ASA scores (3 vs 2, p = 0.0001), had 75% higher LOS (21 vs 12 days, p < 0.0001), were associated with 67% higher healthcare expenditure (median $20542 vs $12236, p < 0.0001), and 1-year mortality (OR: 19.6, p < 0.0001). ESRD patients had an average of 4.1 comorbidities per patient compared to 1.84 in the control group. CONCLUSION ESRD is an outsized factor on the outcome of hip fracture patients who have markedly higher and more variable healthcare utilization.

Abstract
Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have increased risk for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) due to their predisposition for bacteremia and subsequent implant inoculation secondary to dialysis. PJI risk is also elevated in transplant patients secondary to chronic immunosuppressive therapy. The purpose of this study was to compare medical and surgical complications after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with ESRD or renal transplant (RT).

Are deep infections that present before and after 90 days from orthopaedic trauma different? An analysis of the validity of the recent change in CDC criteria for infections. Injury 2022; 53:912-918.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In 2016, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) changed the time frame for their definition of deep surgical site infection (SSI) from within 1 year to within 90 days of surgery. We hypothesized that a substantial number of infections in patients who have undergone fracture fixation present beyond 90 days and that there are patient or injury factors that can predict who is more likely to present with SSI after 90 days. METHODS A retrospective review yielded 452 deep SSI after fracture fixation. These patients were divided into two groups-those infected within 90 days of surgery and those infected beyond 90 days . Data were collected on risk factors for infection. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to compare the two groups. A randomly selected control group was used to build infection prediction models for both outcomes. The two outcomes were then modelled against each other to determine whether differences in predictors for early versus late infection exist. RESULTS Of the 452 infections, 144 occurred beyond 90 days (32% [95% CI, 28%-36%]). No statistically significant patient factors were found in multivariable analysis between the early and late infection groups. The need for flap coverage was the only injury characteristic that differed significantly between groups, with patients in the late infection group more likely to have needed a flap. When modelled against the control group and directly comparing the two models, predictors for early infection include male sex and fractures of the pelvis, acetabulum, or hip, whereas predictors of late infection include hepatitis C and/or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). CONCLUSION Use of the recent CDC definition will underestimate the rate of actual postoperative infections when applied to orthopaedic trauma patients. Hepatitis C and/or HIV and ICU admission are predictors of late infection, whereas male sex and pelvis, acetabulum, or hip fractures are predictors of early infection. Patients who receive flap coverage may be more likely to present with late infection.

BACKGROUND Electrolyte levels are commonly obtained as part of the preoperative workup for total joint arthroplasty, but limited information exists on the interplay between electrolyte abnormalities and outcomes. METHODS The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program was queried for primary, elective total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty (THA, TKA) performed between 2011 and 2017. Three patient groups were compared: normal (control), hypernatremia, and hyponatremia. The primary outcomes were length of stay (LOS) and 30-day adverse events: complications, readmissions, reoperations, and mortality. RESULTS A total of 244,538 TKAs and 145,134 THAs were analyzed. The prevalence of hyponatremia and hypernatremia was 6.9% and 1.0%, respectively. After controlling for any baseline differences, hypernatremia was an independent predictor of ventilation >48 hours (THA, odds ratio [OR] 3.53), unplanned intubation (THA, OR 3.14), cardiac arrest (THA, OR 2.42), pneumonia (THA, OR 2.16), Clostridium difficile infection (OR 4.66 and 3.25 for THA and TKA, respectively), LOS >2 days (THA, OR 1.16), and mortality (THA, OR 4.69). Similarly, hyponatremia was an independent predictor of LOS >2 days (TKA, OR 1.21), readmission (TKA, OR 1.40), reoperation (OR 1.32 and 1.47 for THA and TKA, respectively), surgical site infections (OR 1.39 and 1.54 for THA and TKA, respectively), and transfusion (OR 1.13 and 1.20 for THA and TKA, respectively). CONCLUSION As the focus of total joint arthroplasty continues to shift toward value-based payment models and outpatient surgery, caution should be exercised in patients with abnormal preoperative sodium levels, particularly hypernatremia, because of significantly increased risk of prolonged LOS and 30-day adverse events.

Preoperative and Perioperative Predictors of Length of Hospital Stay after Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty-Our Experience on 743 Cases. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10215053. [PMID: 34768573 PMCID: PMC8584853 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10215053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2021] [Revised: 10/21/2021] [Accepted: 10/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of this retrospective investigation is to evaluate the correlation between several preoperative and perioperative factors and the length of hospital stay in patients that underwent elective total hip arthroplasty with overnight admission. Medical records of patients that underwent THA from the beginning of 2016 to the end of 2018 were retrospectively screened. Demographics, comorbidities, whole blood count, intraoperative details, and length of postoperative stay were retrieved. The association between clinical, laboratory and surgical factors and the length of hospital stay was explored by means of negative binomial and logistic regression models. The median length of postoperative hospital stay was four days (Inter Quartile Range, IQR 3, 5). After univariate regression a stepwise multivariate regression showed that operative time (p = 0.001), the preoperative serum creatinine (p < 0.001), the intraoperative blood loss (p = 0.04) and the use of an anterolateral approach (p < 0.001) were found to correlate significantly with the increase of the hospitalization length, while no significant correlation was found for all the other features. Multivariable model fitted through logistic regression (LOS below or over the median value of four days) had an Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 0.748. Our analysis suggests a significant role played by different preoperative and perioperative variables in influencing the length of hospital stay.

Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE Prolonged antibiotic prophylaxis after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) may not assist in minimizing postoperative complications, however, data based on the Chinese population have been limited. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of antibiotic prophylaxis on postoperative complications after TJA in Chinese patients. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 990 patients undergoing elective primary TJA surgery from January 2016 to June 2019. Patients who received a short course (≤3 days) of antibiotic prophylaxis were compared with those who received a longer course (>3 days). Logistic regression analysis and subgroup analysis were performed to control for potential confounders. Beyond that, survival analysis was used to determine the cumulative incidence of postoperative complications. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Follow-up to 12 months after surgery, the prevalence of system complications in the longer course group and the short course group were 5.1% and 3.9%, respectively (p = 0.451). Similarly, no statistical differences in incisional complications (1.5% vs. 1.8%, p > 0.999) and periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) (1.0% vs. 1.0%, p > 0.999) were observed between the two groups. After performing logistic regression analysis and survival analysis, no potential association was found between the course of antibiotic prophylaxis and postoperative complications. In addition, prolonged antibiotic prophylaxis conferred no benefit for high-risk obese patients. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION Extended antibiotic prophylaxis did not result in a statistically significant and clinically meaningful reduction in postoperative complications. Therefore, we recommended that the duration of antibiotic prophylaxis in TJA should be shortened to 3 days or less in the Chinese population.

Effect of chronic kidney disease on outcomes following proximal humerus fragility fracture surgery in diabetic patients: A nationwide population-based cohort study. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0258393. [PMID: 34624055 PMCID: PMC8500432 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0258393] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2021] [Accepted: 09/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The proximal humerus fracture (PHF) is the third most common fragility fracture. Diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are both risks for fragility fractures; however, the interplay of DM and CKD makes treatment outcomes unpredictable. This study aimed to investigate and compare early and late outcomes following proximal humerus fracture fixation surgery in diabetic patients with different renal function conditions. METHODS DM patients receiving PHF fixation surgery during 1998-2013 were recruited from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. According to their renal function, patients were divided into three study groups: non-chronic kidney disease (CKD), non-dialysis CKD, and dialysis. Outcomes of interest were early and late perioperative outcomes. Early outcomes included in-hospital newly-onset morbidities. Late outcomes included infection, revision, readmission, and all-cause mortality. RESULTS This study included a total of 10,850 diabetic patients: 2152 had CKD (non-dialysis CKD group), 196 underwent permanent dialysis (dialysis group), and the remaining 8502 did not have CKD (non-CKD group). During a mean follow-up of 5.56 years, the dialysis group showed the highest risk of overall infection, all-cause revision, readmission, and mortality compared to the non-dialysis CKD group and non-CKD group. Furthermore, subgroup analysis showed that CKD patients had a higher risk of surgical infection following PHF surgery than non-CKD patients in cases with a traffic accident or fewer comorbidities (Charlson Comorbidity Index, CCI <3) (P for interaction: 0.086 and 0.096, respectively). Also, CKD patients had an even higher mortality risk after PHF surgery than non-CKD patients, in females, those living in higher urbanization areas, or with more comorbidities (CCI ≥3) (P for interaction: 0.011, 0.057, and 0.069, respectively). CONCLUSION CKD was associated with elevated risks for infection, revision, readmission, and mortality after PHF fixation surgery in diabetic patients. These findings should be taken into consideration when caring for diabetic patients.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this meta-analysis was to review the current evidence in the literature to find out whether the coexisting chronic kidney disease affected infection, revision, transfusion, readmission, mortality, and the length of hospital stay after total knee arthroplasty. Methods Medline, PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched from their dates of inception to June 30, 2020. The primary outcomes were postoperative infection, revision, and mortality. The secondary outcomes were transfusion, the length of hospital stay, and readmission. A P value of < 0.05 was deemed to be statistically significant. Results A total of 881 articles were identified, and 7 articles that met the inclusion criteria were identified to be eligible. The most important finding of our study was that the chronic kidney disease was associated with increased postoperative transfusion (P < 0.05) and mortality (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the patients with chronic kidney disease were associated with a higher readmission rate, compared to the patients without chronic kidney disease (P < 0.05). However, chronic kidney disease was not associated with high risks for infection (P > 0.05), revision surgeries (P > 0.05), and a prolonged hospital stay (P > 0.05). Conclusions After total knee arthroplasty, the patients with coexisting chronic kidney disease carry higher risks of transfusion, mortality, and readmission. However, the chronic kidney disease may not be associated with the risk of infection or revision, nor the duration of hospitalization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As the prevalence of hip osteoarthritis increases, the number of total hip arthroplasty (THA) procedures performed is also projected to increase. Accurately risk-stratifying patients who undergo THA would be of great utility, given the significant cost and morbidity associated with developing perioperative complications. We aim to develop a novel machine learning (ML)-based ensemble algorithm for the prediction of major complications after THA, as well as compare its performance against standard benchmark ML methods. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study of 89,986 adults who underwent primary THA at any California-licensed hospital between 2015 and 2017. The primary outcome was major complications (eg infection, venous thromboembolism, cardiac complication, pulmonary complication). We developed a model predicting complication risk using AutoPrognosis, an automated ML framework that configures the optimally performing ensemble of ML-based prognostic models. We compared our model with logistic regression and standard benchmark ML models, assessing discrimination and calibration. RESULTS There were 545 patients who had major complications (0.61%). Our novel algorithm was well-calibrated and improved risk prediction compared to logistic regression, as well as outperformed the other four standard benchmark ML algorithms. The variables most important for AutoPrognosis (eg malnutrition, dementia, cancer) differ from those that are most important for logistic regression (eg chronic atherosclerosis, renal failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). CONCLUSION We report a novel ensemble ML algorithm for the prediction of major complications after THA. It demonstrates superior risk prediction compared to logistic regression and other standard ML benchmark algorithms. By providing accurate prognostic information, this algorithm may facilitate more informed preoperative shared decision-making.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In the United States, chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects roughly 11% of the population or 19.2 million people. As the prevalence of CKD and demand for total joint arthroplasty (TJA) continue to rise, it is critical to assess the impact of CKD on postoperative clinical and economic outcomes. METHODS Discharge data from 2006 to 2011 National Inpatient Sample were used for this study. A total of 851,150 TJA patients were divided into three cohorts: group 1 included no CKD, CKD stage I, and CKD stage II; group 2 included CKD stage III and stage IV; group 3 included CKD stage V. Inverse probability of treatment weighting/propensity score weighting was used to predict outcome variables as a function of age, sex, and Elixhauser comorbidities. Patients were compared against group I for in-hospital postoperative outcomes. RESULTS Stage III/IV CKD patients undergoing primary TJA had higher odds of any complication (odds ratio (OR), 2.63; p < 0.0001), longer length of stay (LOS), and higher total charge (LOS, 4.34 vs. 3.48 days; total charge, US$56,003 vs. US$46,115; p < 0.0001) when compared to patients with no CKD/stage I or II. Similarly, stage V CKD patients undergoing primary TJA had higher odds of any complication (OR, 1.64; p < 0.0001), longer LOS, and higher total charges (LOS, 5.81 vs. 3.48 days; total charge, US$59,869 vs. US$46,115) than their counterparts with no CKD/stage I or II CKD. DISCUSSION Our results indicate that stage III, IV, or V CKD, compared with those with no CKD, stage I or II patients are at a greater risk for postoperative complications and consume more resources following TJA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic renal failure is increasing in prevalence and reported to have deleterious effects on the outcome of total hip arthroplasty (THA). AIM To investigate the clinical and functional outcomes of THA in patients receiving haemodialysis or who have previously undergone renal transplantation. METHODS Systematic review of the literature using bibliographic databases up to July 2018 to determine the functional outcome, complications and revision rates of THA in patients receiving haemodialysis for end-stage renal failure and those with a previous renal transplant. RESULTS 25 studies were identified with a total of 797 THAs. 166 patients (20.8%) were receiving haemodialysis and 631 patients (79.2%) had undergone transplantation. All studies reported a marked improvement in hip function following THA. There were 27 failures (15.7% revision rate) in the haemodialysis group and 101 failures (16.0% revision rate) in the transplant group. The revision rate for cemented implants was higher in haemodialysis versus transplant patients (23% vs. 15%), with the converse being true for uncemented implants (3.8% vs. 6.9%). The deep infection rate was higher in the haemodialysis group (10.8% vs. 2.1%). CONCLUSIONS Patients receiving haemodialysis or with a history of renal transplantation can expect good functional outcome following THA. However, the revision rate and deep infection rate are higher than would be expected in patients receiving THA for primary OA. Aseptic loosening is the most common reason for revision. Uncemented implants appear to be associated with lower failure rates both in haemodialysis patients and those who have had a transplant.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac arrest (CA) has been identified as a potential complication following Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) and Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). This retrospective, case-controlled study aims to identify risk factors in order to improve the management of patients undergoing THA or TKA with known preoperative comorbidities. METHODS CPT codes were used to investigate the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database for patients who underwent THA or TKA from 2010 to 2017. Patients were classified as having cardiac arrest (CA) by the NSQIP guidelines. Patient samples with all possible covariates were included for the multivariate logistic regression analysis and assessed for independent association. RESULTS Patients receiving perioperative transfusion, experiencing dyspnea with moderate exertion, dyspnea at rest, patients currently on dialysis, and patients aged ≥72 are all independently associated with increased rates of cardiac arrest (CA) following THA. Patients receiving perioperative transfusion, patients with anemia, bleeding disorders, dyspnea with moderate exertion, cardiac comorbidities, pulmonary comorbidities, and patients aged ≥73 are all associated with increased rates of cardiac arrest (CA) following TKA. CONCLUSION Patients with the identified risk factors are at a greater risk of suffering cardiac arrest within 30 days following THA and TKA. It is imperative that we recognize which risk factors may precipitate CA in THA and TKA recipients so that prophylactic management can be employed. Furthermore, management guidelines should be updated for patients at high risk of CA following THA and TKA to prevent this complication.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to clarify the association between types of knee arthroplasty (KA) (total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or unicompatmental knee arthroplasty (UKA)) and surgical site infection (SSI) with adjustment for various factors, using a Japanese national database. METHODS Data on 181,608 patients who underwent unilateral primary KA for osteoarthritis from 2010 to 2017 were obtained from the Japanese Diagnosis Procedure Combination database. SSI was identified based on International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision codes. Deep SSI (i.e. periprosthetic joint infection (PJI)) was identified as SSI treated with surgical procedures. Multivariable logistic regression analyses for SSI and PJI were performed, in which dependent variables included types of KA, patient backgrounds (sex, age, body mass index (BMI), smoking status, comorbidities), and seasonality. RESULTS Eight percent of analyzed patients underwent UKA, while 92% underwent TKA. The proportions of SSI and PJI after UKA were 0.9% and 0.3%, respectively, both of which were lower than those after TKA (1.9% and 0.6%) (P < 0.001). Multivariable analyses showed lower proportions of SSI for UKA (adjusted odds ratio, 0.47; 95% confidence interval, 0.37-0.60; P < 0.001) and PJI (adjusted odds ratio, 0.47; 95% confidence interval, 0.34-0.65; P < 0.001) than TKA. Other factors associated with both SSI and PJI included male sex, BMI >30 kg/m2, renal dysfunction and summer season. CONCLUSION UKA was associated with lower proportions of SSI and PJI than TKA. Surgeons should carefully consider the indication of UKA before performing TKA, especially in patients with knee unicompartmental osteoarthritis who are at a high risk for SSI or PJI.

Li J, Li M, Peng BQ, Luo R, Chen Q, Huang X. Comparison of total joint arthroplasty outcomes between renal transplant patients and dialysis patients-a meta-analysis and systematic review. J Orthop Surg Res 2020; 15:590. [PMID: 33298121 PMCID: PMC7724818 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-020-02117-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2020] [Accepted: 11/24/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients are at an increased risk of needing total joint arthroplasty (TJA); however, both dialysis and renal transplantation might be potential predictors of adverse TJA outcomes. For dialysis patients, the high risk of blood-borne infection and impaired muscular skeletal function are threats to implants' survival, while for renal transplant patients, immunosuppression therapy is also a concern. There is still no high-level evidence in the published literature that has determined the best timing of TJA for ESRD patients. METHODS A literature search in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (up to November 2019) was performed to collect studies comparing TJA outcomes between renal transplant and dialysis patients. Two reviewers independently conducted literature screening and quality assessments with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). After the data were extracted, statistical analyses were performed. RESULTS Compared with the dialysis group, a lower risk of mortality (RR = 0.56, Cl = [0.42, 0.73], P < 0.01, I2 = 49%) and revision (RR = 0.42, CI = [0.30, 0.59], P < 0.01, I2 = 43%) was detected in the renal transplant group. Different results of periprosthetic joint infection were shown in subgroups with different sample sizes. There was no significant difference in periprosthetic joint infection in the small-sample-size subgroup, while in the large-sample-size subgroup, renal transplant patients had significantly less risk (RR = 0.19, CI = [0.13, 0.23], P < 0.01, I2 = 0%). For dislocation, venous thromboembolic disease, and overall complications, there was no significant difference between the two groups. CONCLUSION Total joint arthroplasty has better safety and outcomes in renal transplant patients than in dialysis patients. Therefore, delaying total joint arthroplasty in dialysis patients until renal transplantation has been performed would be a desirable option. The controversy among different studies might be partially accounted for that quite a few studies have a relatively small sample size to detect the difference between renal transplant patients and dialysis patients.

Effects of honey supplementation on renal dysfunction and metabolic acidosis in rats with high-fat diet-induced chronic kidney disease. J Basic Clin Physiol Pharmacol 2020; 32:/j/jbcpp.ahead-of-print/jbcpp-2019-0151/jbcpp-2019-0151.xml.

Abstract
Background Metabolic diseases are associated with impaired renal function which accelerates chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 16-week honey supplementation on renal function, metabolic acidosis and renal abnormalities in Wistar rats fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Methods Wistar rats were fed a HFD and sucrose (30%) solution and randomly grouped and treated. Group 1 was fed rat chow and treated with drinking water while groups 2, 3, 4 and 5 were fed a HFD and treated with drinking water, 1, 2 and 3 g/kg body weight (BW) of honey, respectively, once daily for 16 weeks. After the rats were sacrificed, the serum samples were obtained and used for the analysis of total cholesterol, urea, creatinine, sodium, potassium, calcium, bicarbonates and chloride ions. Histopathological examinations of the kidneys were performed. Results The serum creatinine and anion gap levels were significantly (p < 0.01) higher while the levels of serum total calcium and ionized fraction were significantly (p < 0.01) lower in HFD-fed control rats than in chow-fed rats. The kidney of HFD-fed control rats was characterized by tubular necrosis, glomerular atrophy, hemorrhage and severe focal aggregate inflammatory (FAIC) cells. Honey treatment (1, 2 or 3 g/kg BW) prevented elevations in serum creatinine while it restored serum levels of total calcium and ionized calcium towards those in rats fed chow only. All the three doses of honey also significantly (p < 0.01) reduced anion gap and ameliorated renal lesions. Honey treatment (2 g/kg BW) significantly (p < 0.05) increased bicarbonate and chloride ion in HFD-fed rats compared with HFD-fed control rats. Conclusions Sixteen-week honey supplementation ameliorates renal dysfunction, metabolic acidosis and renal morphological abnormalities in HFD-fed Wistar rats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip and knee arthroplasties are among the most commonly performed surgical procedures in the elderly. In this age group, uncertainty exists regarding the importance of mild to moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD), which is prevalent but often unrecognized in the perioperative setting. This study evaluates the association between mild to moderate CKD and adverse postoperative outcomes in patients 65 years or older METHODS: This retrospective study selected patients 65 years or older undergoing hip or knee arthroplasty between 2006 and 2016 from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. We created logistic regression models to analyze the relationship between CKD stage and each of our coprimary outcomes. The primary outcomes were major complication and mortality occurring within 30 days of surgery. RESULTS Of the 193,747 included patients, 68,424 (35.3%) underwent hip and 125,323 (64.7%) knee arthroplasty. Within 30 days of surgery, 12,767 patients (6.6%) experienced a major complication and 352 (0.2%) died. Compared to patients with no kidney disease, patients with CKD stages 3b and 4 were at higher risk for both major complication (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.28 [1.08-1.52], aOR 1.5 [1.13-1.98], respectively) and mortality (aOR 3.17 [1.23-8.14], aOR 3.93 [1.26-12.21], respectively) after hip arthroplasty, and for major complication (aOR 1.42 [1.23-1.63], aOR 1.52 [1.19-1.93], respectively) after knee arthroplasty. CONCLUSION Among elderly patients, stage 3b and stage 4 CKD were associated with 30-day postoperative major complication after hip or knee arthroplasty, and with 30-day postoperative mortality after hip, but not knee, arthroplasty. Further research will be required to inform perioperative management decisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Simultaneous bilateral femoral neck fractures are extremely rare without obvious injury. Herein, we report the case of a patient on dialysis presenting with bilateral femoral neck fractures, which is a condition with high complication and mortality rates according to a review of the pertinent literature. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case a 47-year-old female with a history of 8 years of haemodialysis due to polycystic kidney disease who presented with bilateral hip pain during walking. The clinical history and results of physical and radiographic examinations of this patient are shown. Single-stage bilateral hemiarthroplasty was performed after a multidisciplinary team consultation. Three days after the operation, she could ambulate with a walker. The woman gradually regained her previous ability to walk over 6 months after surgery. CONCLUSIONS A multidisciplinary team consultation for perioperative management is necessary and effective in patients on dialysis. Early diagnosis with prompt surgical treatment could lead to favourable recovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic renal failure (CRF) is an established risk factor for surgical site infection (SSI) and periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after primary total joint arthroplasty. However, there is limited literature comparing outcomes between patients who receive dialysis vs renal transplantation. We examined and compared clinical outcomes of patients receiving dialysis vs those who had a prior renal transplantation. METHODS We retrospectively identified 107 patients undergoing primary total joint arthroplasty between 2000 and 2017, who were receiving dialysis (n = 50), or had a prior renal transplantation (n = 57). The cohorts were compared with respect to postoperative complications, including 90-day SSI, PJI, and failure resulting in revision procedure. Multivariate analysis was performed to determine independent risk factors for complications and revision. RESULTS A significantly higher rate of postoperative complications was seen in dialysis patients (28.0%) compared with renal transplant (7.1%). In particular, increased SSI and PJI rates were observed in dialysis group compared with the transplant cohort (18.0% vs 3.5%). In addition, increased revision rates (24.0% vs 3.5%) and decreased survivorship for the implant were observed in dialysis patients. Multivariate analysis revealed that patients with renal transplant were less likely to require revision arthroplasty and that total knee arthroplasty (vs total hip arthroplasty) was an independent risk factor for failure in dialysis patients. CONCLUSION This study provides further evidence that patients on dialysis who are on transplant list should await arthroplasty until transplant has taken place. In dialysis patients who are not transplant candidates, extreme care should be exercised, and additional strategies used to minimize the high complication rate that may be encountered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The number of patients who have end-stage renal disease undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) has increased over the past decade. The purpose of this study is to evaluate mortality, complications, and 90-day readmission incidences in patients who have end-stage renal disease undergoing THA. METHODS Patients who had a primary THA between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2016, were identified from the 5% Medicare database. A total of 55,297 THA patients were stratified into 3 groups: renal dialysis (without transplant), renal transplant, and those without such renal problems. Risk of readmissions, dislocations, periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs), venous thromboembolic diseases, and mortalities up to 5 years following primary THA was compared. Multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to evaluate the effect of patient and hospital characteristics on the adjusted complication risks. RESULTS Mortalities at 5 years was 62.6% in the renal dialysis group, 37.3% in the renal transplant group, compared to 15.0% in the nonrenal group. Dislocations (7.6%) and PJIs (7%) were significantly higher in the dialysis group (P < .001). No significant differences in venous thromboembolic diseases (all timepoints) and revisions (all timepoints except at 90 days) between the renal groups were observed. The 90-day readmission risks were significantly greater in both the dialysis (55%) and transplant (43%) groups compared to the nonrenal cohort (30%) (P < .001). CONCLUSION Renal dialysis patients undergoing THA are at increased risk of PJIs (7%), dislocations (7.6%), revisions, and mortalities at 90 days compared to transplant and nonrenal patients. Both dialysis and transplant patients are high-risk groups with significantly increased 90-day readmission incidences of 55% and 43%, respectively, which makes their inclusion into a bundled payment model challenging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a relatively common comorbidity that has been shown to adversely affect outcomes in total hip arthroplasty (THA), as well as to increase the procedure's total costs. However, the effect of different stages of kidney disease and the association of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) with perioperative THA complications are less understood. Therefore, the aims of this study were to investigate the relationships between eGFR, both as a categorical and continuous variable and 30-day outcomes and complications. METHODS The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was used to identify 101,925 primary THAs between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2016. The following outcomes were assessed: 30-day mortality, 30-day major complications, 30-day minor complications, specific complications, and discharge disposition. To evaluate the effect of eGFR status on outcomes and complication, multivariate regression models were created to adjust for differences in patient demographics and comorbidities. In addition, multivariate spline regressions were developed to assess the nonlinear relationships between eGFR as a continuous variable and the outcomes of interest. RESULTS Our study revealed that as eGFR decreases to <30 mL/min/1.73 m2, there is an increased risk for mortality and nonhome discharge (P < .05). There was an increased risk for any major complication and any minor complication as well as several specific medical complications such as transfusion and myocardial infarction (P < .05) for an eGFR of <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Patients' eGFR had a nonlinear relationship with mortality (P = .0001), any major complication (P < .001), and any minor complication (P < .001), as well as a number of other specific medical complications. Once the eGFR, <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 the increase was exponential for mortality, major complications, and minor complications. For example, mortality increased of 900% for <15 mL/min/1.73 m2 or on dialysis, 600% for 15 to 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 and 50% for 30 to 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Similarly, nonlinear relationships were discovered between eGFR and nonhome discharge (P < .001). CONCLUSION Patients with lower eGFR, and in particular those with <30 mL/min/1.73 m2, are more likely to sustain medical complications and have 6 to 9 times higher mortality than patients with normal eGFR. THA patients with CKD should be appropriately counseled and advised on the risk of postoperative complications by using eGFR as a screening tool.

Host-related factors for venous thromboembolism following total joint replacement: A meta-analysis of 89 observational studies involving over 14 million hip and knee replacements. J Orthop Sci 2020; 25:267-275. [PMID: 31029528 DOI: 10.1016/j.jos.2019.04.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2019] [Revised: 03/20/2019] [Accepted: 04/03/2019] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Venous thromboembolism, a potential complication of total joint replacement, is associated with preventable mortality and morbidity and is likely to be influenced by host-related factors such as sociodemographic characteristics, body mass index, medical and surgical histories, as well as circulating biomarkers. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the associations between host-related factors and venous thromboembolism risk following total hip and knee replacements. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library to March 2018 for longitudinal studies reporting these associations. Summary measures of association were relative risks (95% confidence intervals). RESULTS We identified 89 studies with data on 14,763,963 joint replacements and 150,086 venous thromboembolism events. Comparing males to females, age ≥70 to <70 years, and blacks to whites, relative risks for venous thromboembolism were 0.83 (0.75-0.91), 1.24 (1.03-1.50), and 1.26 (1.20-1.31) respectively. Comparing body mass indices ≥25 vs. <25; ≥30 vs. <30; and ≥50 vs. <50 kg/m2, relative risks were 1.40 (1.24-1.57); 1.65 (1.23-2.22); and 1.72 (1.10-2.67) respectively. Histories of venous thromboembolism; cardiovascular disease; congestive heart failure; cardiac arrhythmia; chronic pulmonary disease; renal disease; neurological disease; fluid & electrolyte imbalance; bariatric surgery; and comorbidity indices were associated with increased venous thromboembolism risk. Comparing a total knee with a hip replacement, the relative risk for venous thromboembolism was 1.69 (1.32-2.15). CONCLUSIONS Enhanced venous thromboembolism prophylaxis should be considered in those with nonmodifiable risk factors such as older black female knee replacement patients. Modifiable risk factors such as high body mass index and fluid & electrolyte imbalance should be addressed prior to elective surgery. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION PROSPERO 2018: CRD42018089625.

BACKGROUND This meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the differences in preoperative comorbidities, postoperative mortality, the rate of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), and revision rate after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) between patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD)(CKD group) and patients with normal kidney function (non-CKD group). METHODS We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library for studies assessing the effect of CKD on TJA outcome. This meta-analysis included studies that (1) compared the outcomes of TJA between the CKD and non-CKD groups; (2) compared the outcomes of TJA based on CKD stage; and (3) evaluated the risk factors for morbidity or mortality after TJA. We compared the mortality, PJI, and revision rate between CKD and non-CKD groups, and between dialysis-dependent patients (dialysis group) and non-dialysis-dependent patients (non-dialysis group). RESULTS Eighteen studies were included in this meta-analysis. In most studies that assessed preoperative comorbidities, the number and severity of preoperative comorbidities were reported to be higher in the CKD group than in the non-CKD group. The risk of mortality was found to be higher in the CKD and dialysis groups compared with the respective control groups. In the studies based on administrative data, the unadjusted odds ratio (OR) of PJI was significantly higher in the CKD group than in the non-CKD group; however, no significant difference between the groups was noted in the adjusted OR. After total hip arthroplasty (THA), the risk of PJI was higher in the dialysis group than in the non-dialysis group. No significant difference was noted between the groups in the rate of PJI following total knee arthroplasty. The revision rate did not significantly differ between the CKD and non-CKD groups in the studies that were based on administrative data. However, the unadjusted OR was significantly higher in the dialysis group than in the non-dialysis group. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative comorbidities and mortality risk were higher in the CKD and dialysis groups than in their respective control groups. The risk of revision was greater in the dialysis group than in the non-dialysis group, and the risk of PJI in the dialysis group became even greater after THA. Surgeons should perform careful preoperative risk stratification and optimization for patients with CKD scheduled to undergo TJA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Heart failure is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in hip fracture surgery. The impact of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is poorly understood in this population. We designed a study to evaluate national perioperative outcomes in hip fracture for patients with HFpEF. METHODS Patients with hip fracture undergoing total hip arthroplasty, hemiarthroplasty, or open/closed reduction with internal and external fixation from January 2005 to December 2013 were identified using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample. Inpatient outcomes during the index hospitalization were compared between patients without heart failure and with HFpEF. Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction was included as a secondary comparator. Perioperative major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs), defined as in-hospital all-cause death, acute myocardial infarction, and in-hospital cardiac arrest or acute ischemic stroke, were evaluated. RESULTS Among 2,020,712 hospitalizations for hip fracture surgery, perioperative MACCE occurred in 67,554 hospitalizations (3.3%), corresponding to an annual incidence of approximately 7,506 events after applying sample weights. Compared with patients without heart failure, patients with HFpEF experienced increased odds of MACCE, adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.69; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.51 to 1.89. In comparison, the aOR of experiencing a MACCE event in the heart failure with reduced ejection fraction group was 1.75 (95% CI, 1.57 to 1.96). HFpEF was also associated with increased odds of acute respiratory failure (aOR, 1.71; 95% CI, 1.53 to 1.91) and acute renal failure (aOR, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.41 to 1.64). CONCLUSION HFpEF confers a significant perioperative risk of MACCE in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine factors predictive of postoperative surgical site infection (SSI) after fracture fixation and create a prediction score for risk of infection at time of initial treatment. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Level I trauma center. PATIENTS/PARTICIPANTS Study group, 311 patients with deep SSI; control group, 608 patients. INTERVENTION We evaluated 27 factors theorized to be associated with postoperative infection. Bivariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were used to build a prediction model. A composite score reflecting risk of SSI was then created. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Risk of postoperative infection. RESULTS The final model consisted of 8 independent predictors: (1) male sex, (2) obesity (body mass index ≥ 30) (3) diabetes, (4) alcohol abuse, (5) fracture region, (6) Gustilo-Anderson type III open fracture, (7) methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus nasal swab testing (not tested or positive result), and (8) American Society of Anesthesiologists classification. Risk strata were well correlated with observed proportion of SSI and resulted in a percent risk of infection of 1% for ≤3 points, 6% for 4-5 points, 11% for 6 to 8-9 points, and 41% for ≥10 points. CONCLUSION The proposed postoperative infection prediction model might be able to determine which patients have fractures at higher risk of infection and provides an estimate of the percent risk of infection before fixation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dialysis has been associated with increased complication rates following total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The current literature on this issue is limited and does not distinguish between hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. The purpose of this study was to determine (1) the differences in the infection and other complication rates after THA or TKA between patients on peritoneal dialysis and those on hemodialysis and (2) the differences in complication rates after THA or TKA between patients on peritoneal dialysis and matched controls without dialysis dependence. METHODS Patients who had undergone primary THA or TKA from 2005 to 2014 were identified in the 100% Medicare files; 531 patients who underwent TKA and 572 patients who underwent THA were on peritoneal dialysis. These patients were matched 1:1 to patients on hemodialysis and 1:3 with patients who were not receiving either form of dialysis. Multivariate regression analysis was performed to examine several adverse events, including the prevalence of infection at 1 year and hospital readmission at 30 days. RESULTS The infection rates at 1 year after THA were significantly lower in the peritoneal dialysis group than in the hemodialysis group: 1.57% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.7% to 3.0%) and 4.20% (95% CI = 2.7% to 6.2%), respectively, with an odds ratio (OR) of 0.30 (95% CI = 0.12 to 0.71). This was also the case for the infection rates 1 year after TKA (3.39% [95% CI = 2.0% to 5.3%] and 6.03% [95% CI = 4.2% to 8.4%], respectively; OR = 0.67 [95% CI = 0.49 to 0.93]). Peritoneal dialysis appears to result in a similar infection rate when compared with matched controls. The rates of other assessed complications, such as hospital readmission, emergency room visits, and mortality, were very similar between the peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis groups but were often significantly higher than the rates in non-dialysis-dependent controls. CONCLUSIONS The increased risk of complications in dialysis-dependent patients following THA or TKA depends on the mode of the dialysis. Whereas patients on hemodialysis have a significantly higher risk of infection, patients on peritoneal dialysis do not appear to have this same risk when compared with non-dialysis-dependent patients. These results suggest that the mode of dialysis should be considered when assessing the risk associated with THA or TKA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level III.

Abstract
Purpose — to evaluate mid-term outcomes of primary hip replacement in patients with end-stage chronic renal disease and to develop an algorithm for selection of surgical tactics and perioperative treatment.Materials and Methods. The authors evaluated outcomes of primary hip replacement in 45 patients receiving renal substitution therapy and 47 patients without chronic renal disease. Patients with end-stage chronic renal disease (CRD) were divided into two groups: group I included 30 (66.6%) patients receiving chronic hemodialysis (CH) and group II included 15 (33.4%) patients after renal transplantation (RT). Group III of 47 (51.1%) patients without any signs of CRD who underwent hip arthroplasty within relevant period of time was established to evaluate the effectiveness of primary hip replacement. Blood serum Ca2+ and P5+ levels as well as levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and 1.25-dihydroxyvitamin D were measured to determine the rate of calcium- phosphoric metabolism disturbance. Multi-spiral CT scans of hip joint were performed to identify bone mineral density and the mean Hounsfield (Hu) value was calculated for which the data was obtained from five various points on the proximal femur and acetabulum. Beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) blood test was performed to confirm amyloid bone disease.Results. The authors did not observe statistically significant differences for arthroplasty outcomes in patients of group II and III. Patients receiving long-term hemodialysis demonstrated significantly lower parameters of Harris score and Barthel’s index of social adaptation after hip replacement as compared to groups II and III: patients of group I demonstrated outcomes improvement at 19.55%, in group II — at 13.03%, in group III — at 10.15% as compared to preoperative status. Decrease of 1.25-dihydroxyvitamin D below 20,0 mcg results in resorption of cancellous bone in proximal femur and acetabulum along with myopathy of gluteus muscles. Sharp increase of parathyroid hormone level (over 600 pcg/ml) was accompanied by inhibition of osteoblasts proliferation and differentiation resulting in substantial impairment of mineralization.Conclusion. According to the algorithm suggested by the authors the key parameters that need to be evaluated in preoperative period are parathyroid hormone (PTH) and 1.25-dihydroxyvitamin D. Five-fold increase of PTH (>600 pcg/ml) demands parathyroidectomy as the first stage of treatment to decrease risk of early aseptic loosening of hip prosthesis and development of periprosthetic fracture.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Large acetabular defects secondary to metastatic disease frequently require extensive acetabular reconstruction. Techniques of acetabular reconstruction have been described, but no consensus for the management of these defects has been reached so far. We present our technique and patient outcomes for acetabular reconstruction by cementing a dual mobility cup into an acetabular cage. METHODS We reviewed 152 total hip arthroplasties and identified 19 patients with periacetabular metastatic disease and large defects who required acetabular reconstruction utilizing a dual mobility cup cemented into an acetabular reconstructive cage. The following outcomes were evaluated: pain relief, functional improvement, postoperative complications. RESULTS Mean follow-up was 3 years, with 13 of the 19 patients eligible for 2-year follow-up. Patients reported a significant improvement in both pain and functional outcomes. There were no dislocations or signs of loosening. Two patients developed postoperative infections. One patient required hemipelvectomy 16 months postop due to recurrence of metastatic disease. CONCLUSIONS Cementing a dual mobility cup into an acetabular cage provides a highly stable and durable option for patients with periacetabular metastatic disease and large defects. Patients are able to return to immediate full weight bearing with significant improvement in both function and pain at 2 years.

Abstract
Background As we transition to value-based care delivery models, risk stratification in total joint arthroplasty is more important than ever. The purpose of this study was to identify patients who would likely require higher level of care and may not be suitable for inclusion in bundled payment models. Methods The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried for all patients who underwent primary total joint arthroplasty between 2011 and 2012. Five types of adverse events were assessed: medical complications, surgical complications, readmission, reoperation, and mortality. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed using a large number of demographic and morbidity variables. Results A total of 14,185 patients were identified. The 30-day medical complication, surgical complication, readmission, reoperation, and mortality rates were 2.0%, 3.2%, 4.0%, 1.5%, and 0.2%, respectively. Among the different variables assessed, only the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical classification system was a significant risk factor for most outcomes assessed. Peripheral vascular disease was the most significant risk factor for medical complications and reoperation (odds ratio, 2.73 and 3.23, respectively). Bleeding disorders were the most significant risk factor for readmission and mortality (odds ratio, 2.03 and 5.86, respectively). Conclusions ASA score is a more reliable risk stratification tool than Charlson Comorbidity Index, but it is not sufficient by itself. Patients with higher ASA scores combined with peripheral vascular disease and/or bleeding disorders are at especially high risk of developing postsurgical adverse events and may not be suitable for inclusion in bundled payment models. These data can be used to develop better risk stratification models that are critically needed.
