Abstrakt: Background: Over the past decades, utilization of total hip arthroplasty (THA) has steadily increased. Understanding the demographic trends of THA patients can assist in projecting access to care. This study sought to assess the temporal trends in THA patient baseline characteristics and socioeconomic factors.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 16,296 patients who underwent primary elective THA from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2022. Demographic data, including age, sex, race, body mass index (BMI), Charlson comorbidity index, insurance, and socioeconomic status, as determined by median income by patients' zip code, were collected. The trends of these data were analyzed using the Mann-Kendall test.
Results: Over the past decade at our institution, patient age (2013: 62.1 years to 2022: 65.1 years, P = .001), BMI (2013: 29.0 to 2022: 29.5, P = .020), and mean Charlson comorbidity index (2013: 2.4 to 2022: 3.1, P = .001) increased. The proportion of Medicare patients increased from 48.4% in 2013 to 54.9% in 2022 (P = .001). The proportion of African American patients among the THA population increased from 11.3% in 2013 to 13.0% in 2022 (P = .012). Over this period, 90-day readmission and 1-year revision rates did not significantly change (2013: 4.8 and 3.0% to 2022: 3.4 and 1.4%, P = .107 and P = .136, respectively). The proportion of operations using robotic devices also significantly increased (2013: 0% to 2022: 19.1%; P < .001).
Conclusions: In the past decade, the average age, BMI, and comorbidity burden of THA patients have significantly increased, suggesting improved access to care for these populations. Similarly, there have been improvements in access to care for African American patients. Along with these changes in patient demographics, we found no change in 90-day readmission or 1-year revision rates. Continued characterization of the THA patient population is vital to understanding this demographic shift and educating future strategies and improvements in patient care.
