Do Patients with Paget's Disease Have Worse Outcomes following Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty?

摘要

Well-powered studies evaluating the effects of Paget's disease on patient outcomes following primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are limited. The objective of this study was to determine whether Paget's disease patients undergoing primary TKA have higher rates of complications. A query of an administrative database was performed identifying Paget's disease patients undergoing primary TKA as the study cohort. Patients who did not have Paget's disease served as a matching cohort. Study group patients were matched in a 1:5 ratio by age, sex, and comorbidities. The query yielded 34,284 patients in the study (n?=?5,714) and matched (n?=?28,570) cohorts. Outcomes analyzed included length of stay (LOS), costs of care, 90-day medical and surgical complications, and 2-year implant-related complications. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) of complications. Paget's disease patients undergoing primary TKA were found to have significantly longer in-hospital LOS (4 vs. 3 days, p?
