The Effect of Preoperative Anemia on Complications After Total Hip Arthroplasty

Current literature suggests that preoperative hematocrit levels may play an important role in determining risk for complications after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The purpose of this study was to determine the role of preoperative anemia status on 30-day complications after THA. Using the National...

Description
Summary:Current literature suggests that preoperative hematocrit levels may play an important role in determining risk for complications after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The purpose of this study was to determine the role of preoperative anemia status on 30-day complications after THA. Using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program registry from 2006 to 2016, we identified all patients who underwent primary THA. Patients were placed into 3 cohorts based on preoperative hematocrit levels (normal > 36% [N = 166,538], mild anemia 27%-36% [N = 13,214], and severe anemia
