Overview

Retrospective cohort study finds no link between socioeconomic status and complications in revision total hip and knee arthroplasty patients, implying limited utility of DCI in risk stratification.

Key Points

  • To investigate the association between socioeconomic status and short-term complications after revision total joint arthroplasty.
  • Retrospective cohort study
  • Included 851 revision arthroplasties (502 rTKAs, 349 rTHAs)
  • Data collected via chart review
  • Multivariate regression analyses conducted
  • Higher Charleston Comorbidity Index associated with increased 90-day medical complications
  • DCI was not independently associated with 90-day complications after adjustment for pain
  • DCI linked to increased postoperative opioid use in rTHA and decreased 30-day readmission in rTKA
