Matched cohort analysis shows higher adverse events in female patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty, suggesting sex-based surgical planning may be necessary.
Key Points
Female patients had greater odds of any adverse events after total hip arthroplasty, highlighting significant sex-based discrepancies.
At 90 days, female patients reported higher rates of surgical site infection and deep vein thrombosis, underlining perioperative risks.
Analysis used a matched cohort from a large national database, adjusting for age and comorbidities through multivariable methods.
These findings emphasize the need for tailored surgical strategies to address gender-specific outcomes in total hip arthroplasty.
