    Summary

    The "July effect" may increase readmission risks for total joint arthroplasty (TJA) patients, particularly for primary total knee arthroplasty at nonteaching hospitals. This July effect in TJA procedures is linked to higher readmission rates and significant costs.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Healthcare Management

    Background:

    • The

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the existence of the

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized the 2013 and 2014 Nationwide Readmission Databases.
    • Analyzed 1,193,034 total joint arthroplasty (TJA) procedures, excluding December cases.
    • Examined 30-day readmission rates, time to readmission, and costs by procedure month and type.

    Main Results:

    • A July effect was observed, with July discharges showing the highest monthly readmission rate (4.2%) across all procedures.
    • This effect was most pronounced in primary total knee arthroplasty and at nonteaching hospitals (4.5% readmission rate).
    • The higher readmission rate for primary TJA in July is estimated to cost approximately $18.6 million annually.

    Conclusions:

    • Evidence suggests a July effect exists for total joint arthroplasty (TJA) procedures.
    • The July effect is more pronounced in nonteaching hospitals.
    • This phenomenon contributes to significant annual healthcare costs due to increased readmissions.
