Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Have Increased Risk of Short-term Adverse Events after Total Hip Arthroplasty

摘要

Objective. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is performed more frequently in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) than in the general population. However, whether patients with SLE have higher complication rates than patients with osteoarthritis (OA) is unknown. This study compares adverse events (AE) in SLE with OA controls.
