Modifiable Individual Risks of Perioperative Blood Transfusions and Acute Postoperative Complications in Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty

Background: The primary aim of this study was to identify modifiable patient-related predictors of blood transfusions and perioperative complications in total hip and knee arthroplasty. Individual predictor-adjusted risks can be used to define preoperative treatment thresholds. Methods: We performed...

Individual predictor-adjusted risks can be used to define preoperative treatment thresholds. Methods: We performed this retrospective monocentric study in orthopaedic patients who underwent primary total knee or hip arthroplasty. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to assess the predictive value of patient-related characteristics. Predictor-adjusted individual risks of blood transfusions and the occurrence of any perioperative adverse event were calculated for potentially modifiable risk factors. Results: 3754 patients were included in this study. The overall blood transfusion and complication rates were 4.8% and 6.4%, respectively. Haemoglobin concentration (Hb, <i>p</i> < 0.001), low body mass index (BMI, <i>p</i> < 0.001) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR, <i>p</i> = 0.004) were the strongest potentially modifiable predictors of a blood transfusion. EGFR (<i>p</i> = 0.001) was the strongest potentially modifiable predictor of a complication. Predictor-adjusted risks of blood transfusions and acute postoperative complications were calculated for Hb and eGFR. Hb = 12.5 g/dL, BMI = 17.6 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, and eGFR = 54 min/mL were associated, respectively, with a 10% risk of a blood transfusion, eGFR = 59 mL/min was associated with a 10% risk of a complication. Conclusion: The individual risks for blood transfusions and acute postoperative complications are strongly increased in patients with a low preoperative Hb, low BMI or low eGFR. We recommend aiming at a preoperative Hb ≥ 13g/dL, an eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min and to avoid a low BMI. Future studies must show if a preoperative increase of eGFR and BMI is feasible and truly beneficial.Axel JakuscheitNina SchaeferJohannes RoedigMartin LuedemannSebastian Philipp von Hertzberg-BoelchManuel WeissenbergerKarsten SchmidtBoris Michael HolzapfelMaximilian RudertMDPI AGarticlepatient blood managementtotal joint arthroplastyhaemoglobinperioperative managementMedicineRENJournal of Personalized Medicine, Vol 11, Iss 1223, p 1223 (2021)
