BACKGROUND: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common procedure that requires consideration of preexisting comorbidities. Factor V Leiden (FVL), an inherited thrombophilia, is one such condition that predisposes patients to venous thromboembolism (VTE, deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism). The present study aimed to characterize the risks associated with FVL patients undergoing THA and evaluate the effect of VTE chemoprophylactic agents on these risks. METHODS: A total of 544,022 adult patients who underwent primary THA for osteoarthritis indications between 2010 and October 2021 were identified in an administrative claims database. Of these, FVL was identified in 1,138 (0.21%). Patients who had and did not have FVL were matched at a 1:4 ratio (1,131 with FVL and 4,519 without FVL) based on age, sex, and Elixhauser comorbidity index. Univariable and multivariable analyses were assessed for 90-day complications. Implant survival at 5 years was assessed and compared with log-rank tests. The relative use of different chemoprophylactic agents, including aspirin, warfarin, heparin, or direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC), was assessed. Bleeding events and VTE were compared for those prescribed either aspirin or warfarin, heparin, or DOAC. A Bonferroni correction was applied. RESULTS: On multivariable analysis, FVL patients were found to have increased odds of 90-day deep vein thrombosis (odds ratio (OR) = 9.20), pulmonary embolism (OR = 6.89), and aggregated severe and all adverse events (OR = 4.74 and 1.98, respectively), but not elevated risk of other perioperative adverse events or 5-year reoperations. More potent chemoprophylactic agents (warfarin, heparin, DOAC) reduced, but did not completely eliminate, the increased VTE risks (without increasing bleeding events). CONCLUSIONS: This study quantified the significantly elevated VTE risk associated with FVL patients undergoing THA. The lack of difference in other specific adverse events and 5-year reoperations is reassuring. Clearly, chemoprophylactic agents are important in this population and may need further attention.

INTRODUCTION: Anatomic and reverse total shoulder arthroplasties (TSAs) are effective treatment options for end-stage glenohumeral osteoarthritis. Those undergoing TSA may also have fibromyalgia, a musculoskeletal condition. However, the association of fibromyalgia with shorter and longer term outcomes after TSA has not been well characterized. METHODS: Patients undergoing TSA for osteoarthritis indications were identified in the PearlDiver M165 database from January 2016 to October 2022. Exclusion criteria included age younger than 18 years, shoulder infection, neoplasm, or trauma within 90 days before surgery, and inactivity in the database within 90 days of surgery. Patients with fibromyalgia were matched in a 1:4 ratio to patients without based on age, sex, and Elixhauser Comorbidity Index. Ninety-day adverse events were compared using univariable and multivariable analyses. Five-year revision-free survival was compared using the log-rank test. RESULTS: Of 163,565 TSA patients, fibromyalgia was identified for 9,035 (5.52%). After matching, cohorts of 30,770 non-fibromyalgia patients and 7,738 patients with fibromyalgia were identified. Multivariable analyses demonstrated patients with fibromyalgia were at independently increased odds ratios (ORs) for the following 90-day complications (decreasing OR order): urinary tract infection (OR = 4.49), wound dehiscence (OR = 3.63), pneumonia (OR = 3.46), emergency department visit (OR = 3.45), sepsis (OR = 3.15), surgical site infection (OR = 2.82), cardiac events (OR = 2.72), acute kidney injury (OR = 2.65), deep vein thrombosis (OR = 2.48), hematoma (OR = 2.03), and pulmonary embolism (OR = 2.01) (P < 0.05 for each). These individual complications contributed to the increased odds of aggregated minor adverse events (OR = 3.68), all adverse events (OR = 3.48), and severe adverse events (OR = 2.68) (P < 0.05 for each). No statistically significant difference was observed in 5-year revision-free survival between groups. DISCUSSION: This study found TSA patients with fibromyalgia to be at increased risk of adverse events within 90 days of surgery. Proper surgical planning and patient counseling are crucial to this population. Nonetheless, it was reassuring that those with fibromyalgia had similar 5-year revision-free survival compared with those without.

BACKGROUND: Von Willebrand disease (VWD) is the most common congenital bleeding disorder. This autosomal dominant condition arises from quantitative or qualitative defects of Von Willebrand factor. To our knowledge, this study leveraged a national database to characterize the largest VWD cohort of total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients to date, assessing 90-day postoperative adverse events and 5-year revision-free survival. METHODS: Adult patients who underwent primary THA for osteoarthritis were identified from January 2010 to October 2021 in a nationwide database. Patients who had and did not have VWD were matched (4:1) on age, sex, and Elixhauser Comorbidity Index and compared with multivariable logistic regression. Patients were then categorized based upon venous thromboembolism (VTE) chemoprophylaxis prescription patterns to compare bleeding and thrombotic adverse events. RESULTS: Of 544,851 THA patients, VWD was identified in 309 patients (0.06%). The matched cohorts contained 1,221 patients who did not have VWD and 306 patients who have VWD. On multivariable analysis, VWD patients had increased odds of 90-day VTE (odds ratio [OR] = 1.86) and hematoma (OR = 3.40) (P < .05 for all). No difference in 5-year revision-free survival was found. The VWD patients receiving aspirin or no prescriptions had greater odds of VTE (OR = 2.39, P = .048). Those on other chemoprophylaxis agents had greater odds of hematoma (OR = 4.84, P = .006). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with VWD undergoing THA had increased odds of 90-day VTE if using aspirin or no prescriptions, or hematoma if using other chemoprophylaxis. There is a delicate balancing act of clotting versus bleeding that must be considered in managing such patients, but it was reassuring that no difference in overall 5-year revision-free survival was found.

BACKGROUND: Anatomic and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) are effective treatment options for end-stage glenohumeral osteoarthritis. However, consideration for pre-existing conditions must be taken into account. Factor V Leiden (FVL), the most common inherited thrombophilia, is one such condition that predisposes to a prothrombotic state and may affect perioperative and longer-term outcomes following TSA. METHODS: Adult patients undergoing primary TSA for osteoarthritis indication were identified in the 2010 through October 2021 PearlDiver M157 database. Patients with or without FVL were matched at a 1:4 ratio based on age, sex, and Elixhauser Comorbidity Index. Ninety-day adverse events and 5-year revision rates were assessed and compared with multivariable logistic regression and rank-log tests, respectively. Finally, the relative use and bleeding/clotting outcomes were assessed based on venous thromboembolic (VTE) prophylactic agents used, with categories defined as (1) warfarin, heparin, or direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) or (2) aspirin/no prescription found. RESULTS: Of 104,258 TSA patients, FVL was identified for 283 (0.27%). Based on matching, 1081 patients without FVL and 272 patients with FVL were selected. Multivariable analyses demonstrated that those with FVL displayed independently greater odds ratios (ORs) of deep vein thrombosis (DVT, OR = 9.50, P < .0001), pulmonary embolism (PE, OR = 10.10, P < .0001), and pneumonia (OR = 2.43, P = .0019). Further, these events contributed to the increased odds of aggregated minor (OR = 1.95, P = .0001), serious (OR = 6.38, P < .0001), and all (OR = 3.51, P < .0001) adverse events. All other individual 90-day adverse events, as well as 5-year revision rates, were not different between the study groups. When compared to matched patients without FVL on the same anticoagulant agents, FVL patients on warfarin, heparin, or DOAC agents demonstrated lesser odds of 90-day DVT and PE (OR = 4.25, P < .0001, and OR = 2.54, P = .0065) than those on aspirin/no prescription found (OR = 7.64 and OR = 21.95, P < .0001 for both). Interestingly, those on VTE prophylactic agents were not at greater odds of bleeding complications (hematoma or transfusion). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: TSA patients with FVL present a difficult challenge to shoulder reconstruction surgeons. The current study highlights the strong risk of VTE that was reduced but still significantly elevated for those with stronger classes of VTE chemoprophylaxis. Acknowledging this risk is important for surgical planning and patient counseling, but also noted was the reassurance of similar 5-year revision rates for those with vs. without FVL.
