Objective To investigate the unplanned readmissions within one year after initial total hip arthroplasty (THA) for patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), and to explore its incidence, causes and risk factors.Methods Clinical data of inpatients who received initial THA for ONFH in Hebei You Fu Hospital from January 2018 to June 2022 were retrospectively collected, and followed up for one year. A total of 640 patients' clinical data who met the criteria were included.There were 377 males (58.9%) and 263 females (41.1%). The patients were divided into a readmission group (n=32) and a control group (n=608) according to readmission. The patients' clinical data during hospitalisation were collected from the hospital's electronic medical record system, mainly including demographic data, comorbidities, surgery-related data, and preoperative laboratory test indicators. Follow-up was mainly conducted by telephone. Multivariate logistic regression and backward stepwise regression methods were used to identify independent risk factors for unplanned readmission.Results Thirty-two patients (5.0%) had an unplanned readmission within one year after THA, of which 11 cases (1.7%) within 30 days and 18 cases (2.8%) within 90 days. Reasons included hip dislocation, periprosthetic fracture, deep vein thrombosis, delayed incision healing, surgical site infection, pain, myocardial infarction, angina, cerebral infarction, and acute cystitis, with hip dislocation being the most common cause (28.1%). Age>60 years old (OR=2.19, P=0.045), ARCO stage Ⅳ (OR=3.96, P=0.017), CCI≥4 (OR=4.87, P=0.007), albumin <35 g/L (OR=3.26, P=0.003) and length of hospital stay (OR=1.06, P=0.034) were confirmed as independent risk factors for unplanned readmission.Conclusion The incidence of one-year unplanned readmission after THA in ONFH patients was 5.0%, and the leading reasons was hip dislocation. Age>60 years old, ARCO stage Ⅳ, CCI≥4, albumin <35 g/L and length of hospital stay were independently associated with unplanned readmission. |
