الوصف: | Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused major transitions in total joint arthroplasty (TJA), notably with the increased utilization of same-day discharge (SDD) pathways. This study assessed the effect of accelerated discharge pathways following the resumption of elective cases during the COVID-19 pandemic on SDD rates, adverse events, and characteristics associated with successful SDD following total hip and total knee arthroplasty. Methods: This retrospective study split patients into cohorts: TJA prior to COVID-19 (pre-COVID, July 2019-December 2019) and TJA following the resumption of elective surgeries (post-COVID, July 2020-December 2020). Patient characteristics such as age, sex, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, and pertinent comorbidities were analyzed, and length of stay, 30-day emergency department (ED) visit rates, readmissions, and reoperations were compared. Results: A total of 1333 patients met inclusion criteria that were divided into pre-COVID (692) and post-COVID (641) cohorts. The pre-COVID group had a median age of 69 years (interquartile range 63-76), and the post-COVID group had a median age of 68 years (interquartile range 61-75) (P = .024). SDD increased from 0.1% to 28.9% (P < .001), and length of stay decreased from 1.3 days to 0.89 days (P < .001). There was no change in 30-day ED visits, readmissions, or reoperations (P = .817, P = .470, and P = .643, respectively). There was no difference in ED visits, readmissions, or reoperations in SDD patients. The odds of SDD were associated with age (P < .001, odds ratio [OR] = 0.94), body mass index (P = .006, OR = 0.95), male sex (P < .001, OR = 1.83), and history of tobacco use (P < .001, OR = 1.87). Conclusions: At our institution, the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the utilization of SDD pathways without increasing ED visits, readmissions, or reoperations. |
