Are Body Mass Index Cutoffs Creating Racial, Ethnic, and Gender Disparities in Eligibility for Primary Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty?

Unabated increases in the prevalence of obesity among American adults have disproportionately affected women, Black persons, and Hispanic persons. The purpose of this study was to evaluate for disparity in rates of patient eligibility for primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthropla...

description Unabated increases in the prevalence of obesity among American adults have disproportionately affected women, Black persons, and Hispanic persons. The purpose of this study was to evaluate for disparity in rates of patient eligibility for primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) based on race and ethnicity and gender by applying commonly used body mass index (BMI) eligibility criteria to two large national databases. We retrospectively reviewed data from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database for the years 2015-2019 for primary THA and TKA and the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2011-2018.

Rates of eligibility for surgery were examined for each respective BMI cutoff and stratified by age, race and ethnicity, and gender. 143,973 NSQIP THA patients, 242,518 NSQIP TKA patients, and 13,255 NHANES participants were analyzed. Female patients were more likely to be ineligible for surgery across all cohorts for all modeled BMI cutoffs (P < .001 for all).
