ABSTRACT

Objective:

To investigate the correlation between the Charlson Comorbidity Index(CCI)and the length of hospital stay(LOS)in patients treated with hip or knee arthroplasty(THA or TKA).

Methods:

A total of 1968 patients who had received total hip or knee arthroplasty between 2019 and 2020 were reviewed.Preoperative complications were assessed by CCI, and binary Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between CCI and LOS.

Results:

THA patients with a CCI score of 0 hada mean LOS of (5.06±1.65)d.THA patients with a CCI score of 1, 2, 3, or 4-6 stayed longer by(5.29±2.09)d( Z=3.342, P=0.001), (5.62±1.62)d( Z=5.410, P<0.001), (5.26±1.62)d, ( Z=5.106, P<0.001)or (7.54±3.17)d, ( Z=5.109, P<0.001), compared with those with CCI=0, indicating CCI was a predictor of prolonged LOS in THA patients.The average hospital stay for TKA patients with CCI=0 was(5.39±1.36)d, and the average hospital stay for TKA patients with CCI=2, 3, or 4-6 was longer than that for patients with CCI=0 by(5.66±1.43)d, ( Z=5.394, P<0.001), (5.59±1.40)d, ( Z=5.394, P<0.001), or(5.62±1.12)d, ( Z=3.455, P<0.001), also proving CCI as a predictor of prolonged LOS in TKA patients.

Conclusions:

The CCI score of THA or TKA patients can be used to assess the length of hospital stay.
