Description
Summary:Purpose Outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) are poorly documented in the literature. The purpose of this study was to evaluate SSc as a potential risk factor for increased rate of complications after TKA. Methods Using the PearlDiver Mariner database, 2,002 patients with SSc undergoing primary TKA were identified and compared to matched controls of 19,892 patients without SSc. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were done for medical complications up to 90 days and surgical complications up to two years. 90-day ED-visit and inpatient readmission were also documented. Results Compared to the matched controls, patients with SSc demonstrated higher rates of medical complications such as cerebrovascular accident (1.5% vs 0.6%, p
