Article entitled ¿hospital frailty risk score predicts adverse events in primary total hip and knee arthroplasty" written by matthias meyer, md, lukas parik, md, franziska leiss, md, and tobias renkawitz, md published by the journal of arthroplasty accepted on june 30, 2020 was reviewed.The articles purpose was to determine the utility of the hfrs as a predictor for postoperative adverse events after primary total hip (tha) and knee (tka) arthroplasty.4558 thas and 3692 tkas were performed at a high volume arthroplasty center.Press-fit acetabular components and cement-free stems of one single manufacturer (pinnacle cup, corail, or trilock stem; depuy, warsaw, in) were used in all thas.Cemented tka was performed through a medial parapatellar approach.Cemented components of one single manufacturer (pfc sigma; depuy) were used in all tkas.No patella resurfacing was performed.A retrospective analysis between 2011 and 2019 of the hfrs was calculated for each patient.Reoperation rates, readmission rates, complication rates, and transfusion rates were compared between patients with low and intermediate or high frailty risk.The study determined that hfrs predicts adverse events after tha and tka and therefore allows hospitals to identify at-risk patients without extra effort or expense.Findings: adverse events after tha: 198 patients required reoperation within 90 days.177 patients required readmission to the hospital within 90 days.57 patients diagnosed with a periprosthetic fracture.22 patients diagnosed with luxation.38 patients diagnosed with a wound healing disorder.5 patients diagnosed with a joint infection.3 patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome.9 patients diagnosed with decompensated heart failure.21 patients diagnosed with cardiac arrythmia.24 patients diagnosed with acute renal failure.11 patients diagnosed with thrombosis.7 patients diagnosed with pulmonary embolism.33 patients diagnosed with collapse.4 patients diagnosed with cerebrovascular accident.68 patients diagnosed with postoperative delirium.71 patients diagnosed with clavien-dindo iv.82 patients required a transfusion.Adverse events after tka: 169 patients required reoperation within 90 days.196 patients required readmission to the hospital within 90 days.14 patients diagnosed with a periprosthetic fracture.12 patients diagnosed with insufficient range of motion.33 patients diagnosed with a wound healing disorder.2 patients diagnosed with a joint infection.4 patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome.2 patients diagnosed with decompensated heart failure.15 patients diagnosed with cardiac arrythmia.24 patients diagnosed with acute renal failure.14 patients diagnosed with thrombosis.8 patients diagnosed with pulmonary embolism.47 patients diagnosed with collapse.7 patients diagnosed with cerebrovascular accident.55 patients diagnosed with postoperative delirium.60 patients diagnosed with clavien-dindo iv.59 patients required a transfusion.Depuy products: unknown acetabular cup pinnacle.Unknown acetabular liner.Unknown femoral head.Unknown femoral stem corail.Unknown femoral stem trilock.Unknown knee femoral sigma.Unknown knee tibial insert sigma.Unknown knee tibial tray sigma.
