Abstract
Solid organ transplants (SOT) have evolved into life-saving interventions for end-stage diseases affecting vital organs. Advances in transplantation techniques, donor selection, and immunosuppressive therapies have enhanced outcomes, leading to a growing demand for SOT. Patients with a solid organ transplant are living long enough to develop the same pathologies which are indicated for joint replacement surgery in the general population. SOT patients who undergo a total hip, knee, or shoulder arthroplasty do similarly in the context of clinical outcomes and implant survival when compared to the general population. These immunosuppressed patients tend to have higher complication rates in the short-term following surgery. Prudent management of these patients in the short-term may be necessary, but patients can expect to do well otherwise.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver transplant (LT) is becoming increasingly common with improved life expectancy. Joint replacement is usually a safe procedure; however, its safety in LT recipients remains understudied.
AIM To evaluate the mortality, outcome, and 90-d readmission rate in LT patients undergoing hip and knee replacement surgery.
METHODS Patients with history of LT who underwent hip and knee replacement surgery between 2016 and 2019 were identified using the National Readmission Database.
RESULTS A total of 5046119 hip and knee replacement surgeries were identified. 3219 patients had prior LT. Mean age of patients with no history of LT was 67.51 [95% confidence interval (CI): 67.44-67.58], while it was 64.05 (95%CI: 63.55-64.54) in patients with LT. Patients with history of LT were more likely to have prolonged length of hospital stay (17.1% vs 8.4%, P < 0.001). The mortality rate for patients with no history of LT was 0.22%, while it was 0.24% for patients with LT (P = 0.792). Patients with history of LT were more likely to have re-admissions within 90 d of initial hospitalization: 11.4% as compared to 6.2% in patients without history of LT (P < 0.001). The mortality rate between both groups during readmission was not statistically different (1.9% vs 2%, P = 0.871) respectively.
CONCLUSION Hip and knee replacements in patients with history of LT are not associated with increased mortality; increased re-admissions were more frequent in this cohort of patients. Chronic kidney disease and congestive heart failure appear to predict higher risk of readmission.

Abstract
There is still controversy regarding clinical outcomes following primary hip arthroplasty after solid organ transplantation (SOT). The aim of this study was to determine whether clinical outcomes after hip arthroplasty differ between previous SOT recipients and control subjects with no history of undergoing SOT. We conducted a systematic search of MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library for studies comparing the clinical outcomes after hip arthroplasty following SOT published up to January 5, 2022. A comparison of medical and surgery-related complications, as well as the readmission rate and 90-day mortality rate between previous SOT recipients and control subjects was performed. Subgroup analyses of the SOT types, liver transplantation (LT) and kidney transplantation (KT), were also performed. Ten studies that included 3,631,861 cases of primary hip arthroplasty were included; among these, 14,996 patients had previously undergone SOT and 3,616,865 patients had not. Significantly higher incidences of cardiac complications, pneumonia, and acute kidney injury were observed in the SOT group compared with the control group. Regarding surgical complications, a higher transfusion rate was observed in the SOT group. The readmission rate and 90-day mortality rate were also significantly higher in the SOT group. A significantly higher incidence of deep vein thrombosis was observed in the KT subgroup compared with the control group. A higher risk of medical and surgical complications, as well as higher readmission and mortality rates after hip arthroplasty was observed for previous SOT recipients compared to patients with no history of SOT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the incidence and risk factors of acute kidney injury (AKI) after hip fracture in organ transplant recipients. METHODS In this single-center retrospective cohort study, 795 elderly patients who underwent hip fracture surgery were enrolled. AKI was defined according to Acute Kidney Injury Network criteria. Among the 795 patients, 23 underwent kidney transplantation (KT) and 20 underwent liver transplantation (LT). The incidence of AKI, dialysis requirement, and renal recovery rate were investigated. RESULTS AKI occurred in 83 patients (10.5%), of whom 9 (39.1%), 3 (15%), and 71 (9.5%) were in the KT, LT, and non-transplantation groups, respectively. The incidence rates of AKI and severe AKI (17.4% vs. 1.4%) were significantly higher in the KT group than in the non-transplantation group (p = 0.001 for both). The renal recovery rate was significantly lower in the KT group than in the non-transplantation group (p = 0.033). The multivariate analysis revealed that male; body mass index; CKD; alkaline phosphatase; intraoperative hypotension; and history of KT were independent predictors of AKI development. CONCLUSIONS AKI and severe AKI after hip fracture occurred more frequently in the KT recipients with lower renal recovery rates. Transplanted kidneys are more vulnerable to AKI after hip fracture.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to compare the short-term complications between transplant and nontransplant patients who undergo hip arthroplasty for femoral neck fractures (FNFs). Additionally, we sought to further compare the outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) versus hemiarthroplasty (HA) within the transplant group. METHODS This was a retrospective review utilizing the Nationwide Readmissions Database. Transplant patients were identified and stratified based on transplant type: kidney, liver, or other (heart, lung, bone marrow, and pancreas). Outcomes of interest included index hospitalization mortality, perioperative complications, length of stay, costs, hospital readmission, and surgical complications within 90 days of discharge. RESULTS From 2010 to 2018, a total of 881,061 patients underwent THA or HA for FNFs, of which 2163 (0.2%) were transplant patients. When compared with nontransplant patients, all transplant patients had an increased risk of requiring blood transfusion (odds ratio [OR] = 1.51, P = .001), acute kidney injury (OR = 2.02, P < .001), and discharge to facility (OR = 1.67, P = .001) while having increased index hospitalization length of stay and costs. Liver and other transplant patients had an increased risk of readmission within 90 days (OR = 1.82, P < .001 and OR = 1.60, P = .014 respectively). Subgroup analysis for transplant patients comparing HA with THA demonstrated no differences in perioperative complication rates and decreased hospitalization length of stay and cost associated with THA. CONCLUSION In this retrospective cohort study, transplant patients had an increased risk of requiring blood transfusions and acute kidney injury after hip arthroplasty for FNFs. There were no differences in short-term complications between transplant patients treated with HA versus THA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3 (Retrospective cohort study).

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is an increasing demand for total joint arthroplasty in liver transplantation patients. However, significant heterogeneity in existing studies creates difficulty to draw conclusions on the risk profile of arthroplasty in this population. METHODS A systematic review of the literature dated from 1980 to 2020 describing the complication rates of liver transplantation patients receiving either total hip or knee arthroplasty was conducted. Multiple outcomes were extracted and a meta-analysis was performed. Four cohorts were created for analysis purposes: liver transplant patients undergoing THA and TKA (1), THA only (2), TKA only (3), and controls (4). RESULTS A total of 13 studies were included in this meta-analysis, accounting for 3024 liver transplantation patients. The rate of infection (odds ratio [OR] = 2.14, OR = 1.61, OR = 2.52), myocardial infarction (OR = 1.65, OR = 1.75, OR = 1.57), respiratory failure (OR = 2.19, OR = 2.50, OR = 1.96), acute kidney injury (OR = 5.71, OR = 5.40, OR = 4.35), sepsis (OR = 3.72, OR = 3.30, OR = 4.02), and blood transfusions (OR = 2.09, OR = 3.65, OR = 1.74) were all significantly higher in the 3 cohorts compared to the controls. Revision/reoperation rates were significantly higher in cohorts 1 and 3 (OR = 1.52 and OR = 1.62, respectively). Patient-reported outcomes saw improvements in Harris Hip Score, objective Knee Society Score, and functional Knee Society Score postoperatively (average improvement = 32.4, 37.2, and 15.3, respectively). CONCLUSION Liver transplantation patients functionally benefit from total hip and knee arthroplasty, but at the cost of increased risk of infection, revision/reoperation, and medically related complications compared to controls. Mortality may also be a short-term risk.

Complications and safety of the transplanted organ after upper extremity surgery in patients receiving immunosuppressant therapy after solid organ transplantation. INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS 2021; 45:2465-2471. [PMID: 34213611 DOI: 10.1007/s00264-021-05129-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2021] [Accepted: 06/22/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the complications and safety of transplanted organs after upper extremity surgery in patients taking immunosuppressants after solid organ transplantation (SOT). METHODS Seventy-two transplant recipients underwent 99 upper extremity surgeries while on immunosuppressants after SOT at our institution between January 2009 and December 2018. We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of these patients, including their demographic information and data related to the SOT and upper extremity surgery. RESULTS Trigger/tendon release (n = 31, 31.3%) was the most frequently performed upper extremity surgery, followed by incision and drainage for an infection (n = 16, 16.2%). Post-operative complications occurred after ten upper extremity operative procedures (10.1%), among which uncontrolled infection after surgery for an infection (n = 4) was the most common. According to the Clavien-Dindo classification, the complications of three surgical procedures were grade I, three were grade II, and four were grade III, and all were treatable. The occurrence rate of the complications was not significantly different between emergent and elective surgery. All transplanted organ-specific indicators did not worsen significantly after emergent or elective upper extremity surgery. CONCLUSIONS Since the function of the transplanted organ was well-preserved after emergent or elective upper extremity surgery, common upper extremity procedures do not seem to be a worrisome practice for SOT patients. However, when treating hand and upper extremity infections in SOT patients, surgeons should explain the possible need for multiple operations and the high complication rate.

Abstract
Background Reliable estimates of the absolute and relative risks of postoperative complications in kidney transplant recipients undergoing elective surgery are needed to inform clinical practice. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to estimate the odds of both fatal and non-fatal postoperative outcomes in kidney transplant recipients following elective surgery compared to non-transplanted patients. Methods Systematic searches were performed through Embase and MEDLINE databases to identify relevant studies from inception to January 2020. Risk of bias was assessed by the Newcastle Ottawa Scale and quality of evidence was summarised in accordance with GRADE methodology (grading of recommendations, assessment, development and evaluation). Random effects meta-analysis was performed to derive summary risk estimates of outcomes. Meta-regression and sensitivity analyses were performed to explore heterogeneity. Results Fourteen studies involving 14,427 kidney transplant patients were eligible for inclusion. Kidney transplant recipients had increased odds of postoperative mortality; cardiac surgery (OR 2.2, 95%CI 1.9–2.5), general surgery (OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.3–4.0) compared to non-transplanted patients. The magnitude of the mortality odds was increased in the presence of diabetes mellitus. Acute kidney injury was the most frequently reported non-fatal complication whereby kidney transplant recipients had increased odds compared to their non-transplanted counterparts. The odds for acute kidney injury was highest following orthopaedic surgery (OR 15.3, 95% CI 3.9–59.4). However, there was no difference in the odds of stroke and pneumonia. Conclusion Kidney transplant recipients are at increased odds for postoperative mortality and acute kidney injury following elective surgery. This review also highlights the urgent need for further studies to better inform perioperative risk assessment to assist in planning perioperative care.

Abstract
Background: The number of total hip arthroplasties (THA) performed across the world is growing rapidly. We performed this meta-analysis to evaluate the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing THA. Methods: A literature search was performed using MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Database from inception until July 2018 to identify studies assessing the incidence of AKI (using standard AKI definitions of RIFLE, AKIN, and KDIGO classifications) in patients undergoing THA. We applied a random-effects model to estimate the incidence of AKI. The protocol for this meta-analysis is registered with PROSPERO (no. CRD42018101928). Results: Seventeen cohort studies with a total of 24,158 patients undergoing THA were enrolled. Overall, the pooled estimated incidence rates of AKI and severe AKI requiring dialysis following THA were 6.3% (95% CI: 3.8%–10.2%) and 0.5% (95% CI: 0.1%–2.3%). Subgroup analysis based on the countries by continent was performed and demonstrated the pooled estimated incidence of AKI following THA of 9.2% (95% CI: 5.6%–14.8%) in Asia, 8.1% (95% CI: 4.9%–13.2%) in Australia, 7.4% (95% CI: 3.2%–16.3%) in Europe, and 2.8% (95% CI: 1.2%–17.0%) in North America. Meta-regression of all included studies showed significant negative correlation between incidence of AKI following THA and study year (slope = −0.37, p <0.001). There was no publication bias as assessed by the funnel plot and Egger’s regression asymmetry test with p = 0.13 for the incidence of AKI in patients undergoing THA. Conclusion: The overall estimated incidence rates of AKI and severe AKI requiring dialysis in patients undergoing THA are 6.3% and 0.5%, respectively. There has been potential improvement in AKI incidence for patients undergoing THA over time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Controversy remains regarding the outcomes after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) among patients with or without liver transplantation (LT). This study aimed at investigating the prevalence of TJA in patients after LT and comparing the morbidity and mortality with the non-LT group. METHODS We conducted a nationwide, population-based study, with data extracted from a universal health insurance database, based on the International Classification of Disease, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification. Patients who underwent TJAs between January 2001 and December 2014 were included. Patients who had bilateral TJAs or a TJA before LT were excluded. A total of 43 patients with LT and 350,337 patients without LT were included. The analysis was implemented using data from all patients and those matched by 1-to-10 propensity score matching. Multivariable logistic regression was used to control confounding variables. RESULTS The prevalence of patients undergoing TJA after LT was 1.3% (43/3276). After propensity score matching, patients with LT were not associated with 30-day complications (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.98; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.93-1.03; P = .35), 30-day readmission rates (aOR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.92-1.08; P = .87), 90-day complication rates (aOR, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.88-1.02; P = .16), 1-year infection rates (aOR, 1.04; 95% CI, 0.96-1.12; P = .35), reoperation rates (aOR, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.92-1.23; P = .41), or mortality (aOR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.80-1.04; P = .18). CONCLUSION The morbidity and mortality seem to be comparable whether TJA is performed in patients with or without LT. Methods for risk assessment would be feasible in liver transplant recipients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic and acute anemia are both correlated with an increased risk of injury to major organs, such as the brain, heart, and kidney. We evaluated the association between postoperative anemia (hemoglobin [Hb] < 10 g/dL) and acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing total hip replacement arthroplasty (THRA). METHODS Patients who underwent THRA between January 2005 and February 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. We divided patients into 2 groups: Hb < 10 (n = 938) and Hb ≥ 10 (n = 1529). They were then categorized according to changes in plasma creatinine concentration within 48 hours of THRA using Acute Kidney Injury Network criteria. To evaluate the association between postoperative anemia and postoperative AKI, an inverse-probability-of-treatment weighted method was used and both univariate and multivariable analyses were performed. RESULTS Postoperative anemia was significantly associated with postoperative AKI (multivariate odds ratio, 2.036; 95% confidence interval, 1.369-3.028; P < 0.001; inverse probability-of-treatment weighted odds ratio, 1.817; 95% confidence interval, 1.169-2.826; P = 0.011). In patients with a normal glomerular filtration rate, postoperative AKI was also related to postoperative anemia (P = 0.010). CONCLUSIONS Postoperative anemia was associated with postoperative AKI after THRA. Although our study was limited by its retrospective design, our observation suggests that postoperative anemia may play a role in postoperative AKI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hypoalbuminemia is known to be independently associated with postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI). However, little is known about the association between the preoperative serum albumin level and postoperative AKI in patients undergoing brain tumor surgery. The authors investigated the incidence of AKI, impact of preoperative serum albumin level on postoperative AKI, and death in patients undergoing brain tumor surgery. METHODS The authors retrospectively reviewed the electronic medical records and laboratory results of 2363 patients who underwent brain tumor surgery between January 2008 and December 2014. Postoperative AKI was defined according to Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes Definition and Staging (KDIGO). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify demographic, preoperative laboratory, and intraoperative factors associated with AKI development. Cox proportional hazards models were used to investigate the adjusted odds ratio and hazard ratio for the association between preoperative serum albumin level and outcome variables. RESULTS The incidence of AKI was 1.8% (n = 43) using KDIGO criteria. The incidence of AKI was higher in patients with a preoperative serum albumin level < 3.8 g/dl (3.5%) than in those with a preoperative serum albumin level ≥ 3.8 g/dl (1.2%, p < 0.001). The overall mortality was also higher in the former than in the latter group (5.0% vs 1.8%, p < 0.001). After inverse probability of treatment-weighting adjustment, a preoperative serum albumin level < 3.8 g/dl was also found to be associated with postoperative AKI (OR 1.981, 95% CI 1.022-3.841; p = 0.043) and death (HR 2.726, 95% CI 1.522-4.880; p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The authors' results demonstrated that a preoperative serum albumin level of < 3.8 g/dl was independently associated with AKI and mortality in patients undergoing brain tumor surgery.

Abstract
To minimize perioperative complications after orthopaedic procedures, patients may undergo medical optimization, which includes an assessment of their renal function and gastrointestinal (GI) system. The GI and renal systems are complex, and their proper optimization in the preoperative period can influence the success of any procedure. Several factors can prevent complications and reduce morbidity, mortality, and the cost of care, including a thorough evaluation and screening, with particular emphasis on anemia and its renal and GI causes; management of medications that are metabolized by the liver and excreted by the kidneys; and careful attention to the patient's nutritional status.

Abstract
This study aims to determine in-hospital complications and mortality in transplant recipients following total joint arthroplasty. The Nationwide Inpatient Sample database was queried for patients with history of transplant and joint arthroplasty (primary or revision) from 1993 to 2011. Kidney transplant increased risk of surgical site infection (SSI) and wound infections (OR=2.03), systemic infection (OR=2.85), deep venous thrombosis (OR=2.07), acute renal failure (ARF) (OR=3.48), respiratory (OR=1.34), and cardiac (OR=1.21) complications. Liver transplant was associated with SSI/wound infections (OR=2.32), respiratory complications (OR=1.68), cardiac complications (OR=1.34), and ARF (OR=4.48). Other transplants grouped together were associated with wound complications (OR=2.13), respiratory complications (OR=2.06), and ARF (OR=4.42). Our study suggests these patients may be at increased risk of in-hospital complications, particularly ARF in renal and liver transplant patients.
