Mortality after revision total hip arthroplasty

Journal of Arthroplasty Jan 21, 2021

Laughlin MS, Vidal E, Drtil A, et al. - This study was sought to ascertain the mortality rate after revision total hip arthroplasty (revTHA). Researchers conducted an institutional database to distinguish 596 individuals who had undergone revTHA between 2012 and 2018. They examined medical records, national, state, and local death indexes for mortality status and indication for revTHA. They estimated mortality rates for all clinical patients and then by specific indication for revision. The results of this study exhibited that the overall two-year mortality rate following revTHA was 19.5 deaths per 1,000 which were largely attributed to patients with a periprosthetic fracture (74.5 per 1,000) with other indications not significantly impacting mortality. The outcomes of this study revealed that mortality rates and specific rates by indication for revision should be considered when counseling patients prior to revTHA.
