Previous hemodynamics studies in shoulder arthroplasty only evaluated Western population and mainly focused on risk factors of transfusion. However, Asians are relatively small, and have higher bleeding risk due to prothrombin-clotting-factor polymorphisms. Therefore, it is not appropriate to apply the results of previously studies directly to Asians. Authors compare different hemodynamics depending on the types of shoulder arthroplasties, and evaluate predictors for transfusion in Asian population. Total 212 shoulder arthroplasties (26 fracture hemiarthroplasty (fHA), 49 anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA), 132 reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA), and 5 revision surgery) from August 2004 to January 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Demographics, surgical factors and perioperative hemodynamic factors were compared for each type of arthroplasty. Multivariate regression analysis was conducted to determine predictors for transfusion.Introduction
