Background: There is no consensus about the safety of outpatient total hip arthroplasty (THA). Therefore, the purpose of this meta-analysis was to quantitatively evaluate and compare outpatient and inpatient THA studies in terms of complication and readmission rates. Methods: A systematic search of the literature was performed on 26 July 2019 on PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane library, and on the grey literature databases. The papers thus collected were used for a meta-analysis comparing outpatient and inpatient THA in terms of complication and readmission rates. Risk of bias and quality of evidence were defined according to Cochrane guidelines. The PRISMA guidelines were used to determine which papers to include in this study. Results: The literature search resulted in 2317 articles; of these, 8 articles were used for the meta-analysis. A total of 66,971 patients were included, of which 1428 were THA outpatients. The overall complication rate for outpatient THAs was 3.0%, while inpatient THAs had an overall complication rate of 4.7%. The readmission rate was 1.4% in outpatient THAs and 3.0% in inpatient THAs. Only 6 studies reported the number of deaths, which ranged from 0% to 0.01%. The included studies present a moderate risk of bias and, according to GRADE guidelines, the level of evidence for complications and readmissions is very low. Conclusions: This meta-analysis documented that outpatient THA is a feasible approach since it does not increase complications or readmissions with respect to inpatient THA, but the available studies present a moderate risk of bias and the quality of evidence of these findings is very low. Future high-level studies are needed to confirm results and indications for outpatient THA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
