Introduction:
The purpose of this study was to determine whether alcohol use disorder (AUD) patients undergoing reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) have increased: 1) lengths of stay (LOS); 2) complications; and 3) costs.
Methods:
The study identified 19,168 patients in the study (n = 3198) and control (n = 15,970) cohort. In-hospital LOS, 90-day complications, and costs were assessed.
Results:
AUD patients had significantly longer LOS (3- vs. 2-days, p < 0.0001), higher9 0-day medical complications (49.59 vs. 14.81%; p < 0.0001), and 90-day costs of care ($18,763.25 vs. $16,035.49, p < 0.0001).
Conclusions:
The study is useful as it can allow healthcare professionals to adequately counsel these patients.
