Abstract
Aims: For displaced femoral neck fractures (FNFs) in geriatric patients, there remains uncertainty regarding the effect of total hip arthroplasty (THA) compared with hemiarthroplasty (HA) in the guidelines. We aimed to compare 90-day surgical readmission, in-hospital complications, and charges between THA and HA in these patients.
Methods: The Hospital Quality Monitoring System was queried from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2019 for displaced FNFs in geriatric patients treated with THA or HA. After propensity score matching, which identified 33,849 paired patients, outcomes were compared between THA and HA using logistic and linear regression models.
Results: The HA group had a lower incidence of 90-day surgical readmission than the THA group (odds ratio (OR) 0.75 (95% CI 0.68 to 0.83)). Meanwhile, the HA group had lower incidence of dislocation (OR 0.42 (95% CI 0.33 to 0.52)), aseptic loosening (OR 0.50 (95% CI 0.38 to 0.66)), and joint pain (OR 0.63 (95% CI 0.40 to 0.98)), but a higher incidence of periprosthetic fracture (OR 1.41 (95% CI 1.07 to 1.87)) for readmission, compared to the THA group. The incidence of in-hospital complications did not differ significantly between the two groups. Moreover, the HA group had lower mean charges than the THA group (47,578.29 Chinese Yuan (CNY) (SD 20,069.71) vs 57,641.00 CNY (SD 21,524.07)).
Conclusion: When considering 90-day surgical readmission rate, in-hospital complications, and mortality, HA resulted in a significantly lower surgical readmission rate within 90 days compared to THA, despite the patients being older and having a higher Charlson Comorbidity Index.
期刊介绍:
We welcome original articles from any part of the world. The papers are assessed by members of the Editorial Board and our international panel of expert reviewers, then either accepted for publication or rejected by the Editor. We receive over 2000 submissions each year and accept about 250 for publication, many after revisions recommended by the reviewers, editors or statistical advisers. A decision usually takes between six and eight weeks. Each paper is assessed by two reviewers with a special interest in the subject covered by the paper, and also by members of the editorial team. Controversial papers will be discussed at a full meeting of the Editorial Board. Publication is between four and six months after acceptance.
