Summary

Unplanned readmissions after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are common, but TKA-specific complications are infrequent. Risk factors for readmission include advanced age, male sex, black race, Medicaid coverage, and comorbidities, with low hospital volume increasing risk.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Health Services Research
  • Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Unplanned readmissions are a key quality indicator for total knee arthroplasty (TKA), impacting reimbursement and care quality.
  • Accurate assessment of TKA readmission rates and identification of associated risk factors are crucial for effective interventions.
  • Understanding the drivers of readmission, whether all-cause or procedure-specific, is essential for healthcare providers and policymakers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the frequency of all-cause and TKA-specific readmissions within 30 days post-total knee arthroplasty.
  • To identify risk factors associated with these readmissions, including patient demographics, comorbidities, and hospital characteristics.
  • To investigate the relationship between hospital surgical volume and TKA readmission rates.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the New York State SPARCS database to analyze 377,705 primary TKA procedures from 1997 to 2014.
  • Defined readmissions as all-cause, CMS-defined TKA-specific complications, or expert-opinion-based TKA-specific complications.
  • Employed multivariable logistic regression to identify independent predictors of 30-day readmission.

Main Results:

  • The all-cause 30-day readmission rate was 5.8% (22,076 patients), with a median hospital rate of 3.9%.
  • TKA-specific complications accounted for only 0.7% (CMS-defined) or 1.8% (expanded list) of all TKAs.
  • Risk factors for TKA-specific readmissions included age >85, male sex, black race, Medicaid coverage, and comorbidities; very low hospital volume (<90 cases/year) was linked to higher readmission risk.

Conclusions:

  • Readmissions for TKA-specific complications are infrequent compared to all-cause readmissions.
  • The multifactorial nature of readmissions suggests that simple interventions may not suffice.
  • Healthcare quality metrics for TKA readmissions should be risk-adjusted using procedure-specific criteria for accurate comparison.
