Abstract
BACKGROUND Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an efficient and common procedure used to treat advanced osteoarthritis of the knee. Geriatric patients make up the majority of TKA patients. For the surgical management of bilateral knee arthritis, there is still debate regarding whether to do a simultaneous or staged TKA. We through this study have gathered data and aimed to assess the safety of simultaneous bilateral TKA in patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a study according to the PRISMA guidelines by searching through various databases for the following search terms: total knee arthroplasty (TKA), complications following TKA, bilateral TKA, and bilateral vs. unilateral TKA. The search included case series and clinical trials and excluded review articles, yielding 24 articles from the original search. We extracted data upon the outcomes in patients undergoing simultaneous bilateral TKA. We performed additional bias assessments to validate our search algorithm and results. RESULTS One hundred and three published articles were identified, and twenty-four that included a total of 2, 18,385 patients were included in the meta-analysis. 93,074 patients underwent simultaneous bilateral TKA and 125,311 patients underwent staged bilateral TKA. Simultaneous bilateral TKA was associated with significantly increased mortality rate (P < 0.00001, Odd's ratio [OR] 1.86, 95% Confidence interval [CI] 1.53-2.26), increased incidence of pulmonary embolism (P < 0.00001, OR 1.58, 95% CI 1.30-1.91), deep venous thrombosis (P < 0.00001, OR 1.31, 95% CI 1.17-1.46), and neurological complications (P < 0.002, OR 1.44, 95% CI 1.14-1.82). There were no significant differences in cardiac complications between both the procedures (P = 0.60, OR 0.93, 95% CI 0.70-1.23). CONCLUSION Staged bilateral TKA is associated with less complication rates as compared to simultaneous bilateral TKA. Hence, patients should be counselled and selected based on the risks respective to each strategy.

Abstract
Bilateral total knee arthroplasty (BTKA) is a common intervention for bilateral knee osteoarthritis, and the choice between simultaneous (SimBTKA) and staged (StaBTKA) procedures remains a critical decision. This meta-analysis systematically reviews and analyzes the existing literature to compare mortality outcomes associated with SimBTKA and StaBTKA. A comprehensive search was conducted across major databases for studies reporting mortality outcomes in SimBTKA and StaBTKA. Inclusion criteria encompassed studies published up to the cutoff date of January 2023, and a total of 37 studies were included in the quantitative synthesis. Meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model to calculate odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using the Review Manage 5.4 software. The meta-analysis included 86,333 SimBTKA cases and 115,146 StaBTKA cases. The overall mortality rate in SimBTKA was 0.66%, while StaBTKA's was 0.43%. The pooled OR for mortality in SimBTKA versus StaBTKA was 1.55 [1.16, 2.08], indicating a statistically significant higher mortality risk in SimBTKA. Our findings suggest that SimBTKA is associated with an increased risk of mortality compared to StaBTKA. This meta-analysis provides valuable insights into the comparative mortality outcomes of SimBTKA and StaBTKA. While SimBTKA may offer potential advantages, including a single anesthesia event and shorter recovery time, clinicians should consider the increased mortality risk associated with this approach. Future research should focus on prospective studies with standardized reporting to further elucidate the nuanced factors influencing mortality outcomes in bilateral knee arthroplasty.

J Orthop Translat 2022; 36:75-82. [PMID: 35979177 PMCID: PMC9364055 DOI: 10.1016/j.jot.2022.05.001] [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: 01/21/2022] [Revised: 04/29/2022] [Accepted: 05/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Background We aimed to: (1) perform a nationwide trend analysis of staggered and simultaneous bilateral knee arthroplasty (KA); (2) investigate patient demographics and hospital characteristics in two groups; and (3) compare the outcomes of two groups with a focus on complications, length of stay (LOS) and hospitalization costs. Methods Utilizing the Hospital Quality Monitoring System, we included patients who underwent bilateral KA during a single hospitalization between 2013 and 2019. Patient demographics and hospital characteristics were compared between two groups. Outcomes were compared between propensity-score matched groups using logistic and linear regression. Results During the study period, 6291 staggered bilateral KA and 6284 simultaneous bilateral KA were performed. From 2013 to 2019, the proportion of staggered bilateral KA increased from 32.74% to 59.08%. Patients who were older, were single, had more comorbidities and had a non-osteoarthritis indication for surgery tended to receive staggered bilateral KA. Compared with 3327 propensity-score matched patients undergoing simultaneous bilateral KA, patients undergoing staggered bilateral KA were associated with a significantly lower incidence of wound infection (odds ratio [OR] = 0.22; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.07–0.65), and readmission within 30 days (OR = 0.73; 95%CI, 0.54–0.99) and 90 days (OR = 0.70; 95%CI, 0.55–0.89). However, staggered bilateral KA had higher odds of blood transfusion (OR = 1.20; 95%CI, 1.02–1.40) and deep venous thrombosis (DVT) (OR = 2.62; 95%CI, 1.82–3.98). Moreover, staggered bilateral KA can lead to higher costs (108,316.21 Chinese yuan [CNY] vs 103,367.60 CNY) and longer LOS (17.29 days vs 12.18 days) than simultaneous bilateral KA. Conclusion Our study indicates that staggered bilateral KA has become more common than simultaneous bilateral KA in China. Compared to simultaneous bilateral KA, staggered bilateral KA was associated with a lower incidence of wound infection and readmission. Staggered bilateral KA may be an alternative for patients who can't tolerate simultaneous surgery. The translational potential of this article: Our study indicates that staggered bilateral KA is a safe and economical option for elderly patients who require bilateral KA but are at high clinical risk. The rising proportion of staggered bilateral KA will be a new trend in bilateral KA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common medical causes for readmission following total joint arthroplasty (TJA). This study aimed to (1) examine whether the incidence of AKI has changed over the past decade with the adoption of modern perioperative care pathways and (2) identify the risk factors and concomitant adverse events (AEs) associated with AKI. METHODS 535,291 primary TJA procedures from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program from 2011 to 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. The annual incidence of AKI was analyzed for significant changes over time. Matched cohort analyses were performed to identify the risk factors and AEs associated with AKI using multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS The mean incidence of AKI was 0.051%, which remained unchanged during the study period (P = 0.121). Factors associated with AKI were diabetes (OR 1.96, P = 0.009), bilateral procedure (OR 6.93, P = 0.030), lower preoperative hematocrit level (OR 1.09, P = 0.015), body mass index (OR 1.04, P = 0.025), and higher preoperative BUN (OR 1.03, P = 0.043). AKI was associated with length of stay (LOS) > 2 days (OR 4.73, P < 0.001), non-home discharge (OR 0.25, P < 0.001), 30-day readmission (OR 12.29, P < 0.001), and mortality (OR 130.7, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of AKI has not changed over the past decade, and it remains a major bundle buster resulting in greater LOS, non-home discharge, readmissions, and mortality. Avoidance of bilateral TJA in patients with DM and high BMI as well as preoperative optimization of anemia and BUN levels are advised.

Short-term high-dose intravenous iron reduced peri-operative transfusion after staggered bilateral total knee arthroplasty: A retrospective cohort study. Vox Sang 2021; 117:562-569.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Staggered bilateral total knee arthroplasty, two procedures performed 4-7 days apart during a single hospitalization, has an increased risk of blood transfusion. This observational study aimed to evaluate whether immediate post-operative single, high-dose intravenous iron supplementation could reduce transfusion requirements and facilitate anaemia recovery in patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analysed 131 patients who underwent staggered bilateral total knee arthroplasty. The ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) group received 1000 mg of FCM after the first operation. The non-FCM group did not receive intravenous iron. The transfusion rate and post-operative complications were compared between the groups. The anaemia rate was evaluated pre-operatively, during hospitalization, and 5 weeks after the second total knee arthroplasty. RESULTS The FCM group comprised 78 patients (59.5%). The rate (21.8% vs. 47.2%, p = 0.004) and amount of transfusion (0 [0-2] vs. 0 [0-0], p = 0.001) was significantly lower in the FCM group than in the non-FCM group. Although both groups' pre-operative haemoglobin concentrations were not significantly different, the FCM group demonstrated higher haemoglobin values 5 weeks post surgery (12.25 ± 0.83 mg/dl vs. 11.48 ± 1.36 mg/dl, p < 0.001). More non-FCM patients developed moderate to severe anaemia at 5 weeks post surgery (p < 0.001). The mortality and complication rates were not significantly different. CONCLUSIONS Immediate post-operative, high-dose, intravenous iron treatment may contribute to reduced transfusion rates, facilitate haemoglobin recovery after staggered bilateral total knee arthroplasty, and minimize the development of moderate to severe anaemia.

Abstract
Despite multiple studies, there remains a debate on the safety of bilateral total knee arthroplasty (BTKA) in the average age patient, with a paucity of data on the outcome of BTKA in an elderly population. This study included 89 patients aged 80 years and older undergoing sequential BTKA over 14 years were identified in a prospectively collected database. Two matched comparison groups were created: patients under 80 undergoing sequential BTKA and patients over 80 undergoing unilateral TKA (UTKA). An analysis of complications, mortality, revision, and patient-reported outcome measures was performed. Mean age of the elderly cohorts was similar: 82.6 for BTKA and 82.9 for UTKA. The average age BTKA cohort had a mean age of 69.1. Complication rates were higher in bilateral cohorts, more so in the elderly BTKA cohort. Pulmonary embolism (PE) was observed in bilateral cohorts only. In these patients, history of PE and ischemic heart disease was a strong predictive factor for developing a major complication. There was no difference in revision rates and infection rates between the three cohorts, and no difference in patient survivorship between the two elderly cohorts. Through the combination of low revision and high survivorship rates and comparable clinical outcomes, this article demonstrates that simultaneous BTKA is an appropriate option to consider for an elderly patient, with proper patient selection and perioperative management. The demonstrated risk groups show that emphasis on patient selection should be focused on medical history rather than chronological age.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Patients who undergo total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have a risk of postoperative anaemia. This observational study evaluated whether single-dose intravenous ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) administered immediately after TKA facilitates the correction of anaemia. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analysed 722 patients who underwent primary TKA. The FCM group receiving 1000 mg intravenous FCM within one postoperative hour was compared with the non-FCM group that did not receive the medication. A propensity score matching with multiple logistic regression analysis was used to minimize intergroup differences in the baseline characteristics and postoperative blood loss. The rate and severity of postoperative anaemia were compared between the groups, along with haemoglobin (Hb) value, transfusion rate and complications. RESULTS After propensity score matching, 231 patients were included in each group. In the FCM group, the rate of anaemia at postoperative day (POD) 7 (p = 0.021) and postoperative week (POW) 5 (p < 0.001) and the transfusion rate were significantly lower (p = 0.008). The rate of moderate to severe anaemia at POW-5 was also significantly lower in the FCM group (p < 0.001). In patients without preoperative anaemia (n = 322), the transfusion rate and rate and severity of anaemia at POD-7 and POW-5 were significantly lower in the FCM group than in the non-FCM group. CONCLUSION Postoperative intravenous FCM administration facilitated recovery of surgery-related anaemia by improving Hb and may reduce the need for transfusion in TKA patients. Preoperative non-anaemic patients could also benefit from accelerated recovery by intravenous iron treatment.

Abstract
AIMS Many patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have severe osteoarthritis (OA) in both knees and may consider either simultaneous or staged bilateral TKA. The implications of simultaneous versus staged bilateral TKA for return to work are not well understood. We hypothesized that employed patients who underwent simultaneous bilateral TKA would have significantly fewer days missed from work compared with the sum of days missed from each operation for patients who underwent staged bilateral TKA. METHODS The prospective arthroplasty registry at the Hospital for Special Surgery was used. Baseline characteristics and patient-reported outcome scores were evaluated. We used a linear regression model, adjusting for potential confounding variables including age, sex, preoperative BMI, and type of work (sedentary, moderate, high activity, or strenuous), to analyze time lost from work after simultaneous compared with staged bilateral TKA. RESULTS We identified 152 employed patients who had undergone simultaneous bilateral TKA and 61 who had undergone staged bilateral TKA, and had completed the registry's return to work questionnaire. The simultaneous group missed a mean of 46.2 days (SD 29.1) compared with the staged group who missed a mean total of 68.0 days of work (SD 46.1) when combining both operations. This difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001). In multivariate mixed regression analysis adjusted for age, sex, BMI, American Society of Anesthesiologists status, and type of work, the simultaneous group missed a mean of 16.9 (SD 5.7) fewer days of work compared with the staged group (95% confidence interval 5.8 to 28.1; p = 0.003). CONCLUSION Employed patients undergoing simultaneous bilateral TKA missed a mean of 17 fewer days of work as a result of their surgical treatment and rehabilitation compared with those undergoing staged bilateral TKA. This information may be useful to surgeons counselling employed patients with bilateral OA of the knee who are considering surgical treatment.

Simultaneous Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty Is Associated With Shorter Length of Stay but Increased Mortality Compared With Staged Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. J Arthroplasty 2021; 36:2227-2238. [PMID: 33589276 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2021.01.045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2020] [Revised: 12/27/2020] [Accepted: 01/18/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with high patient satisfaction. However, controversy remains regarding the safety and efficacy of conducting simultaneous bilateral (simBTKA) versus staged bilateral TKA (staBTKA). The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the current evidence for simBTKA versus staBTKA and compare clinical outcomes including mortality, complications and length of stay (LOS). METHODS A search was performed of PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane central databases between January 2000 and March 2020. Search terms included "simultaneous," "staged," and "bilateral TKA." Inclusion criteria comprised studies comparing outcomes of simBTKA versus staBTKA. Quality of included studies was assessed and meta-analyses of pooled data was conducted. RESULTS 29 articles published between 2001 and 2020 were included in qualitative synthesis from 927 potentially relevant titles, comprising 257,284 patients. 104,207 patients underwent simBTKA and 153,632 patients underwent staBTKA. simBTKA was associated with significantly increased 90-day mortality rate (P < .00001, OR 2.24, 95% CI 1.79-2.81), increased incidence of pulmonary embolism (P < .00001, OR 1.69, 95% CI 1.51-1.89), venous thrombosis (P < .00001, OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.23-1.43), and neurological complications (P = .002, OR 1.42, 95% CI 1.13-1.77). Incidence of superficial and deep infection was significantly increased with staBTKA (P = .02, P < .00001 respectively). Revision rate within one year was equivocal. Mean LOS was 2.1 days shorter for simBTKA. CONCLUSION SimBTKA was associated with decreased incidence of infection and LOS but increased incidence of 90-day mortality, venous thromboembolism and neurological complications. Revision rates were equivocal. Patients should be selected and counseled based on the risks respective to each strategy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bilateral knee osteoarthritis requiring total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can be addressed simultaneously in one surgical setting, staggered a few days apart during a single hospitalization, or staged several weeks to months apart. Several studies have reported on the complications and clinical outcomes of staggered bilateral TKA (BTKA) in a single hospitalization. However, there is no consensus regarding the safety and efficacy of this practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a systematic review of the literature, utilizing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and identifying articles that reported the clinical outcomes and postoperative complications following staggered BTKA. RESULTS Overall, six articles were included for analysis, including 43,892 patients in total. Females (n = 25,931; 59% of all patients) outnumbered males (n = 17,961; 40.1% of all patients), and most patients were middle-aged or elderly (mean age: 68.0 years). The majority of studies (83%) used a 1-week interval as the maximum time for single-hospitalization staggered BTKA. Five studies (83%) reported no difference in mortality rates between staggered, simultaneous, or staged BTKA. Compared to staged BTKA, staggered BTKA conferred an increased rate of blood transfusions. There was no consensus that staggered BTKA led to reduced complications rates, compared to simultaneous or staged BTKA. CONCLUSIONS Single-hospitalization staggered BTKA does not appear to be safer than the well-established simultaneous or staged procedures. Overall, the data suggest that staggered BTKA will continue to decline in utilization, as staggered BTKA does not appear to yield clinical advantage over simultaneous BTKA in a medically appropriate patient. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III: systematic review (lowest level of studies included).

One-Stage Sequential Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty: An Effective Treatment for Advanced Bilateral Knee Osteoarthritis Providing High Patient Satisfaction. J Arthroplasty 2020; 35:401-406. [PMID: 31635904 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2019.09.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2019] [Revised: 08/29/2019] [Accepted: 09/19/2019] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The mortality and risks of bilateral total knee arthroplasty (BTKA) have been reported to be far greater than in unilateral total knee arthroplasty (UTKA). This study aimed to determine whether this remains the case using contemporary anesthetic and surgical techniques for one-stage single anesthetic sequential BTKA. METHODS Two cohorts of 394 patients were created by propensity matching for gender, age, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists grade, and Veterans Rand-12 health survey scores. Primary outcome was morbidity and mortality, with satisfaction measures using patient-reported outcome measures. RESULTS The mortality rate was low with one case after BTKA. Major complications were also low; however, a pulmonary embolism rate of 2% in BTKA patients was significantly higher than 0.3% after UTKA (P < .05), and associated with an American Society of Anesthesiologists grade ≥3. The rate of minor complications between the 2 cohorts was comparable (P = .95). Blood transfusions were uncommon and not significantly different between cohorts (2.5% vs 1.3%, P = .3). BTKA patients stayed in hospital a mean 1.3 days longer with greater rehabilitation requirements. At final follow-up, patient satisfaction was high with all patient-reported outcome measures significantly improved and comparable between cohorts. CONCLUSION BTKA is safe and effective in the majority of patients. Transfusion rates were far lower than historically reported and major complications were rare after both UTKA and BTKA. A significant increase in the rate of pulmonary embolism after BTKA was observed, especially in high risk patients. At minimum 1-year postoperatively, cohorts had the same significant clinical improvement and high level of satisfaction.
