We sought to quantify the impact of COVID-19 on canceled revision total joint arthroplasty (TJA) in a large academic hospital network. We performed a retrospective analysis of revision TKA and THA in a healthcare system containing 5 hospitals in a time period of 8 months prior to and 8 months after the cessation of elective surgery. We found a 30.1% decrease in revision TKA and a 6.80% decrease in revision THA. Revision TJA volume decreased in our healthcare system during COVID-19 compared to prior to the pandemic, which will likely have lasting financial and clinical ramifications for the healthcare system.
我们试图量化新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)对一家大型学术医院网络中取消的翻修全关节置换术(TJA)的影响。我们对一个包含5家医院的医疗系统中的翻修全膝关节置换术(TKA)和全髋关节置换术(THA)进行了回顾性分析,该时间段为择期手术停止前8个月和停止后8个月。我们发现翻修TKA减少了30.1%,翻修THA减少了6.80%。与大流行之前相比,在COVID-19期间我们医疗系统中的翻修TJA数量有所下降,这可能会对医疗系统产生持久的财务和临床影响。
