ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative joint disease, and total knee replacement (TKR) is a successful surgical intervention for knee OA treatment. However, the risks of mortality and major cardiovascular events (MACEs) in patients receiving TKR remain unclear. This study investigated the risks of mortality and MACEs in knee OA patients who received TKR.METHODS:
For this population-based cohort study, the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2000 was used. Two million individuals with knee OA defined by ICD-9-CM codes who received physical therapy between 1999 and 2017 were selected. For propensity score matching (PSM), we considered the year of knee OA diagnosis, demographics, comorbidities, co-medications, and knee OA-related hyaluronic acid or physical therapy at baseline. After PSM, regression analyses were performed to assess the association of mortality or MACEs with TKR and non-TKR individuals.RESULTS:
We identified patients (n = 189,708) with a new diagnosis of knee OA between 2000 and 2017. In total, 10,314 propensity-score-paired TKR and non-TKR individuals were selected. The PSM cohort algorithm revealed that the risk of mortality or MACEs was lower in the TKR group (adjusted hazard ratio 0.791; 95% confidence interval 0.755-0.830) than in the non-TKR group.CONCLUSIONS:
Patients with knee OA who received TKR had decreased risks of mortality and MACEs than those who did not receive TKR. Moreover, the TKR group received a reduced dosage of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs at the 1-year follow-up.Palavras-chave
