Abstract

Purpose

The aim was to investigate the interplay between patient characteristics and (1) length of hospital stay and (2) one-year patient-reported outcome following total knee and hip arthroplasty.

Methods

Event (survival) analysis and structural equation modelling were performed for 1001 patients undergoing knee (n = 566) and hip (n = 435) arthroplasty in a single institution.

Results

Age, body mass index and co-morbidities were independent predictors of length of stay in both event analysis and structural equation modelling. These patient characteristics and type of arthroplasty had both small direct and indirect effects on patient-reported outcome measures at one year. Length of stay had a small effect (<2 %) in SF-36 scores at one year.

Conclusion

Predictors that influence length of stay also impact on one-year post-operative outcome and therefore should be taken into account during patient selection and discharge planning.

Level of evidence

Retrospective cohort study, Level III.

Proximale Humerusfraktur: Auch 100-Jährige operieren?

01.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Mit dem demographischen Wandel versorgt auch die Chirurgie immer mehr betagte Menschen. Von Entwicklungen wie Fast-Track können auch ältere Menschen profitieren und bei proximaler Humerusfraktur können selbst manche 100-Jährige noch sicher operiert werden.

Sind Frauen die fähigeren Ärzte?

Patienten, die von Ärztinnen behandelt werden, dürfen offenbar auf bessere Therapieergebnisse hoffen als Patienten von Ärzten. Besonders gilt das offenbar für weibliche Kranke, wie eine Studie zeigt.

Notfall-TEP der Hüfte ist auch bei 90-Jährigen machbar

26.04.2024 Hüft-TEP Nachrichten

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.

Arthroskopie kann Knieprothese nicht hinauszögern
