The Impact of Solid Organ Transplant History on Inpatient Complications Mortality Length of Stay and Cost for Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty Admissions in the United States

摘要

BackgroundAs the prevalence of and life expectancy after solid organ transplantation increases, some of these patients will require total hip arthroplasty (THA). Immunosuppressive therapy, metabolic disorders, and post-transplant medications may place transplant patients at higher risk of adverse events following surgery. The objective of this study was to compare inpatient complications, mortality, length of stay (LOS), and costs for THA patients with and without solid organ transplant history.
