Abstract
Background: Peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) may be utilized for postoperative pain control following total hip arthroplasty (THA). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between PNBs and postoperative complication rates, healthcare utilization, and opioid consumption following elective THA.
Methods: Opioid-naive patients who received PNBs on the same day as undergoing THA for degenerative etiologies were identified from a large national database and matched 1:5 to a control cohort using propensity scoring. Rates of medical complications, inpatient readmissions, and emergency department presentations occurring within 90 days of THA and surgery-related complications occurring within 1 year of THA were compared using odds ratios. Total cost and perioperative opioid consumption in morphine milligram equivalents (MMEs) per day were also evaluated and compared between groups.
Results: Propensity score matching resulted in 4748 PNB patients matched to 23,740 control patients. THA patients who received PNBs had lower incidences of deep vein thrombosis (odds ratio [OR] 0.67, P = .004), urinary tract infection (OR 0.76, P < .001), and dislocation (OR 0.51, P < .001). PNBs were also associated with decreased perioperative opioid consumption (38.6 MME/day vs 55.3 MME/day, P < .001). Regarding healthcare utilization, there were no differences between cohorts in rates of inpatient readmission, emergency department presentation, or total cost.
Conclusions: PNBs are associated with decreased risk of deep vein thrombosis, urinary tract infection, and dislocation and decreased perioperative opioid consumption following THA.
期刊介绍：
Arthroplasty Today is a companion journal to the Journal of Arthroplasty. The journal Arthroplasty Today brings together the clinical and scientific foundations for joint replacement of the hip and knee in an open-access, online format. Arthroplasty Today solicits manuscripts of the highest quality from all areas of scientific endeavor that relate to joint replacement or the treatment of its complications, including those dealing with patient outcomes, economic and policy issues, prosthetic design, biomechanics, biomaterials, and biologic response to arthroplasty. The journal focuses on case reports. It is the purpose of Arthroplasty Today to present material to practicing orthopaedic surgeons that will keep them abreast of developments in the field, prove useful in the care of patients, and aid in understanding the scientific foundation of this subspecialty area of joint replacement. The international members of the Editorial Board provide a worldwide perspective for the journal''s area of interest. Their participation ensures that each issue of Arthroplasty Today provides the reader with timely, peer-reviewed articles of the highest quality.
