Summary

Older age, male gender, and cardiovascular disease increase perioperative mortality risk after hip arthroplasty. Recent data show a significant decline in 30-day mortality rates for this procedure.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Perioperative mortality following hip arthroplasty requires further investigation into patient and surgical risk factors.
  • Limited data exist on characteristics associated with increased mortality risk after elective hip arthroplasty.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of perioperative death after elective hip arthroplasty.
  • To identify patient characteristics and surgical factors associated with increased mortality risk.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 30,714 patient records undergoing elective hip arthroplasty between 1969 and 1997.
  • Analysis of mortality rates based on age, gender, diagnosis, implant type, and fixation method within 30 days of surgery.

Main Results:

  • Overall 30-day mortality rate was 0.29% (90/30,714).
  • Significantly higher mortality observed in patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease, males, and those aged 70+.
  • No significant difference in mortality for revision versus primary hip arthroplasty or cemented versus non-cemented implants.

Conclusions:

  • Older age, male gender, and cardiorespiratory disease history are key risk factors for 30-day mortality post-hip arthroplasty.
  • A significant decline in 30-day mortality rates was observed in the last decade, with a rate of 0.15% in the 1990s.
