Differences in perioperative outcomes and complications between African American and white patients after total joint arthroplasty

Journal of Arthroplasty Jan 09, 2019

Stone AH, et al. - Authors investigated 7208 candidates between July 2013 and June 2017 to examine the impact of race on the length of stay, discharge disposition and complexities needing reoperation following total joint arthroplasty (TJA) between African American (AA) and white subjects. They observed that young AA candidates (more apparently the females) had a longer length of stay, more prone to encounter septic developments and manipulation under anesthesia. These were less expected to discharge home. They identified AA race as an individualistic risk factor with more likely to discharge to a facility and experience a manipulation under anesthesia.
