Total hip arthroplasty in patients with cerebral palsy: A matched comparison of 90-day adverse events and 5-year implant survival
Journal of Arthroplasty Jun 13, 2021
Moore HG, Gardezi M, Burroughs PJ, et al. - Researchers examined data from patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) from the 2010-2018 PearlDiver Mariner administrative database. They distinguished and compared 90-day incidence of postoperative complications and hospital readmission. They further evaluated and compared five-year implant survival (based on need for revision). In this study, 864 patients with cerebral palsy (CP) and 3,448 patients without CP were compared. The findings revealed that patients with CP undergoing THA were found to have higher odds of perioperative UTI, pneumonia and periprosthetic fracture but not other perioperative complications or difference in five-year implant survival in comparison with patients without CP.
