The present study compares adverse event rates, the rate of blood transfusion, operative times, length of stay, and the rate of hospital readmission between TAA, THA, and TKA procedures.Methods:Patients were identified who underwent TAA, THA, or TKA during 2006-2016 as part of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP). Multivariate regression was used to compare TAA to THA and TKA in terms of adverse event rates, the rate of blood transfusion, operative times, length of stay, and the rate of hospital readmission. All analyses were fully adjusted for differences in baseline demographic, comorbidity, and procedural characteristics, including type of anesthesia. The level of signif...
