INTRODUCTION: Risk factors associated with primary THA readmissions have not yet been thoroughly analyzed when stratified by underlying indication. Given that a majority of THAs are done electively in the context of osteoarthritis (OA), it remains to be explored whether or not THAs performed non-electively in the trauma setting have different readmission patterns. Therefore, the aims of this study were to identify: 1) causes of readmissions; 2) patient-related risk-factors for readmissions; and 3) costs associated with the reasons for readmissions.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients who sustained a femoral neck fracture and underwent primary THA from 2005 to 2014 were identified. Those subsequently readmitted within 90-days following the procedure comprised the study cohort whereas those not readmitted served as the comparison cohort. Primary outcomes included identifying causes of readmissions, identifying patient-related risk-factors associated with readmissions and determining healthcare expenditures associated with the different readmission etiologies. A regression analysis was used to calculate the odds (OR) for readmissions. A p-value less than 0.01 was considered to be statistically significant.
RESULTS: The regression model demonstrated the greatest patient-related risk factors included: electrolyte and fluid disorders (OR: 1.80, p < 0.0001), morbid obesity (OR: 1.60, p < 0.0001), pathologic weight loss (OR: 1.58, p < 0.0001), congestive heart failure (OR: 1.41, p < 0.0001), were the leading risk factors for readmissions. Pulmonary-related causes ($42,357.71) of readmission were the leading driver of costs of care.
CONCLUSION: Orthopaedic surgeons should identify and optimize pre-operative management of patient-related risk factors that increase readmissions following primary THA for femoral neck fractures. Additionally, pulmonary-related causes of readmission lead to the highest costs of care.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.
