Trends in Total Hip Arthroplasty Length of Stay and Coding Status From 2018 to 2021: Two-Year Impact of the Removal From the Inpatient-Only List
Background
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) was removed from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services inpatient-only (IPO) list on January 1, 2020. The impact of this policy changes on length of stay (LOS) and coding status (inpatient/outpatient) beyond 2020 remains to be fully defined.
Methods
Data were obtained from the 2018 to 2021 National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. Elective primary THA patients aged 18 y or older were identified by Current Procedural Terminology code. Year of surgery, age (dichotomized at /<65 y old), American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, smoking status, coding status, and LOS were assessed. Pearson chi-squared tests compared categorical variables, while analysis of variance tests evaluated continuous variables.
Results
Overall, 156,212 THA patients were identified. Over the 4 y of study, outpatient cases increased by 1392% from 3.7%-5.75% to 35.6%-54.2% (P < .0001). Analogously, average LOS decreased from 1.91-1.75 to 1.50-1.35 d (P < .0001). This pattern of decreased LOS was seen in patients aged ≥65 y (traditional Medicare eligibility, P < .0001) and those <65.
Conclusions
These data demonstrate a continued increase in outpatient THA since the IPO list removal, with over half of cases classified as outpatient in 2021 and a corresponding reduction in LOS. Notably, the outpatient status is an administrative designation that was not defined by same-day discharge or lack of overnight stay. The observed changes in both age groups (≥65 and <65 y) underscore the extensive impact of the IPO list removal on surgical practices.
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.
