ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Many practices require tissues from hip and knee arthroplasty procedures to be sent for pathologic examination. These examinations rarely provide information beyond the clinical or radiologic diagnosis and rarely alter clinical management. We aimed to determine the rate at which histologic diagnoses based on gross assessment alone or gross plus microscopic assessment correspond with reported clinical diagnoses in patients undergoing total joint arthroplasties and whether the histologic diagnoses alter patient management.

METHODS:

We retrospectively reviewed arthroplasty cases performed at a high-volume teaching hospital in Manitoba, Canada. The clinical diagnosis was compared with the final pathology report based on gross examination, with or without histologic assessment. The results of the comparison were classified into 3 categories concordant (same diagnosis), discrepant (different diagnoses without alterations in management) and discordant (different diagnoses resulting in management change). The overall provincial cost for pathologic examination was determined by multiplying the total examination cost by the estimated number of arthroplasty cases.

RESULTS:

There were 773 patients in our study sample. The concordant rate was 98.3% (95% confidence interval [CI] 97.1%-99.1%), the discrepant rate was 1.7% (95% CI 0.9%-2.9%) and the discordant rate was 0.0% (95% CI 0%-0.5%) for 773 cases. The pathology diagnosis did not alter patient management in any case. A total of 91.5% of specimens did not require full histologic review and received gross descriptions only. The discrepancy rate was higher in cases that included microscopic examination than in those that received only gross descriptions (15.2% v. 0.4%, p < 0.001). The overall provincial cost for pathologic examination was estimated at Can$304 556.

CONCLUSION:

Submitting routine tissue from arthroplasty procedures to pathology does not affect patient management and therefore provides no value for the health care resources expended in doing so.
CONTEXTE Beaucoup d'établissements exigent que des tissus soient envoyés pour un examen anatomopathologique après une arthroplastie de la hanche et du genou. Ces examens n'apportent généralement pas d'information nouvelle quant au diagnostic clinique ou radiologique et modifient rarement la prise en charge. Notre objectif était de déterminer le pourcentage de correspondance entre les diagnostics histologiques fondés sur l'inspection grossière uniquement ou sur l'inspection grossière et l'examen au microscope, et les diagnostics cliniques des patients qui subissent des arthroplasties totales. Nous cherchions également à savoir si les diagnostics histologiques modifient la prise en charge. MÉTHODES Nous avons procédé à une analyse rétrospective d'arthroplasties effectuées dans un grand hôpital universitaire du Manitoba, au Canada. Le diagnostic clinique était comparé au rapport final de pathologie fondé sur une inspection grossière, avec ou sans examen histologique. Les résultats de cette comparaison étaient classés en 3 catégories concordance (même diagnostic), divergence (diagnostics différents, sans modification de la prise en charge) et discordance (diagnostics différents entraînant une modification de la prise en charge). Le coût global pour la province associé aux examens pathologiques a été établi en multipliant le coût total d'un examen par le nombre estimé de cas d'arthroplastie. RÉSULTATS Notre échantillon comprenait 773 patients. Le taux de concordance était de 98,3 % (intervalle de confiance [IC] de 95 % 97,1 %­99,1 %), le taux de divergence était de 1,7 % (IC de 95 % 0,9 %­2,9 %) et le taux de discordance de 0,0 % (IC de 95 % 0 %­0,5 %). Dans tous les cas, le diagnostic pathologique n'a pas modifié la prise en charge. Au total, 91,5 % des spécimens ne nécessitaient pas d'examen histologique complet et n'ont fait l'objet que d'une inspection grossière. Le pourcentage d'anomalie était plus élevé pour les spécimens analysés au microscope que pour ceux ayant uniquement subi une inspection grossière (15,2 % c. 0,4 %, p < 0,001). Le coût total des examens pathologiques pour la province a été estimé à 304 556 $ CA.

CONCLUSION:

L'analyse pathologique systématique de tissus prélevés lors d'arthroplasties n'entraîne pas une modification de la prise en charge du patient; il n'y a donc pas de valeur associée aux ressources de santé utilisées pour ces examens.
