The aim of this study was to compare the rate of perioperative
complications following aseptic revision total hip arthroplasty
(THA) in patients aged ≥ 80 years with that in those aged <
80
years, and to identify risk factors for the incidence of serious
adverse events in those aged ≥ 80 years using a large validated
national database. Patients who underwent aseptic revision THA were identified in
the 2005 to 2015 National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP)
database and stratified into two age groups: those aged <
80
years and those aged ≥ 80 years. Preoperative and procedural characteristics
were compared. Multivariate regression analysis was used to compare
the risk of postoperative complications and readmission. Risk factors
for the development of a serious adverse event in those aged ≥ 80
years were characterized.Aims
