Abstract
Purpose
While bone health is instrumental in orthopedic surgery, few studies have described the long-term outcomes of osteoporosis (OP) in patients undergoing total hip (THA) or knee (TKA) arthroplasties.
Methods
Using the New York State statewide planning and research cooperative system database, all patients who underwent primary TKA or THA for osteoarthritis from 2009 to 2011 with minimum 2-year follow-up were identified. They were divided based on their OP status (OP and non-OP) and 1:1 propensity score matched for age, sex, race, and Charlson/Deyo index. Cohorts were compared for demographics, hospital-related parameters, and 2-year postoperative complications and reoperations. Multivariate binary logistic regression was utilized to identify significant independent associations with 2-year medical and surgical complications and revisions.
Results
A total of 11,288 TKA and 8248 THA patients were identified. OP and non-OP TKA patients incurred comparable overall hospital charges for their surgical visit and hospital length of stay (LOS) (both, p ≥ 0.125). Though OP and non-OP THA patients incurred similar mean hospital charges for their surgical visit, they experienced longer hospital LOS (4.3 vs. 4.1 days, p = 0.035). For both TKA and THA, OP patients had higher rates of overall and individual medical and surgical complications (all, p < 0.05). OP was independently associated with the 2-year occurrence of any overall, surgical, and medical complications, and any revision in TKA and THA patients (all, OR ≥ 1.42, p < 0.001).
Conclusion
Our study found OP was associated with a greater risk of 2-year adverse outcomes following TKA or THA, including medical, surgical, and overall complications as well as revision operations compared to non-OP patients.
