Abstract
The utilization of total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is increasing, driving associated annual health care costs higher. Opting for outpatient over inpatient TSA may provide a solution by reducing costs. However, there is no single set of accepted patient selection criteria for outpatient TSA. Here, the authors identify and systematically review 14 articles to propose evidence-based criteria that merit postoperative admission. Together, the studies suggest that patients with limited ability to abmluate independently or a history of congestive heart failure may benefit from postoperative at least one night of hospital based monitoring and treatment.

Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2024:103881. [PMID: 38582223 DOI: 10.1016/j.otsr.2024.103881] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2023] [Revised: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 12/22/2023] [Indexed: 04/08/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Similar to the management of periprosthetic joint infections of the lower limb, one-stage revision in total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) infections is an option that has been highlighted in scientific publications since the early 2010s. However, there are only a few studies which validate this treatment and determine its scope of application in relation to two-stage treatment. HYPOTHESIS Single-stage revision for infected TSA is a reliable treatment allowing good infection control and satisfactory functional results. METHODS This single-center retrospective series of 34 consecutive patients operated on between 2014 and 2020 for a one-stage prosthetic revision was evaluated at a minimum of 2 years of follow-up. All of the patients included underwent revision shoulder arthroplasty during this period with the diagnosis of infection confirmed by microbiological analysis of surgical samples. Patients who did not benefit from a bipolar revision were excluded. All patients were followed at least 2 years after the intervention. Clinically suspected recurrence of infection was confirmed by a periprosthetic sample under radiographic guidance. Functional clinical outcomes as well as mechanical complications were also reported. RESULTS The average follow-up was 40.4 months (24-102±21.6). A septic recurrence was observed in three patients (8.8%). A mechanical complication was present in four patients (14.7%), and three (11.8%) required at least one surgical revision. The mean Constant-Murley score at the last follow-up was 49 (42-57±21.83). DISCUSSION Single-stage revision for shoulder periprosthetic joint infection results in a success rate of 91.2% with satisfactory functional results after more than 2 years of follow-up. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV; retrospective study.

Patient-selection algorithm for outpatient shoulder arthroplasty in ambulatory surgery center: a retrospective update. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2024; 33:900-907. [PMID: 37625693 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2023.07.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2023] [Revised: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/16/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Outpatient total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) presents a safe alternative to inpatient arthroplasty, while helping meet the rapidly rising volume of shoulder arthroplasty needs and minimizing health care costs. Identifying the correct patient for outpatient surgery is critical to maintaining the safety standards with TSA. This study sought to update an ambulatory surgery center (ASC) TSA patient-selection algorithm previously published by our institution. METHODS A retrospective chart review of TSAs was performed in an ASC at a single institution to collect patient demographics, perioperative risk factors, and postoperative outcomes with regard to reoperations, hospital admissions, and complications. The existing ASC algorithm for outpatient TSA was altered based on collected perioperative information, review of pertinent literature, and anesthesiology recommendations. RESULTS A total of 319 TSAs were performed in an ASC in 298 patients over 7 years. Medically related complications occurred in 3 patients (0.9%) within 90 days of surgery, 2 of whom required hospital admission (0.6%) for acute kidney injury and pulmonary embolus. There were no instances of major cardiac events. Orthopedic-related complications occurred in 11 patients (3.4%), with hematoma development requiring evacuation and instability requiring revision being the most common causes. CONCLUSIONS There was a low rate of perioperative complications and hospital admissions, confirming the safety of TSAs in an ASC setting. Based on prior literature and the population included, a pre-existing patient-selection algorithm was updated to better reflect increased comfort, knowledge, and data regarding safe patient selection for TSA in an ASC.

Tramadol use before total shoulder arthroplasty: patients have lower risk of complications and resource utilization than those using traditional opioids. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2024; 33:863-871. [PMID: 37659701 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2023.07.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2023] [Revised: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 07/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence continues to mount for the deleterious effects of preoperative opioid use in the setting of total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). Tramadol, a synthetic opioid with concomitant neurotransmitter effects, has become a popular alternative to traditional opioids, but it has not been well studied in the preoperative setting of TSA. The purpose of this study is to evaluate postsurgical outcomes in TSA for patients with preoperative tramadol use compared with patients using traditional opioids and those who were opioid naïve. METHODS Using the IBM Watson Health MarketScan databases, a retrospective cohort study was performed for patients who underwent TSA from 2009 to 2018. Filled pain prescriptions were collected, and prescribing trends were analyzed. Outcomes were compared between 4 patient cohorts defined by preoperative analgesia use-opioid naïve, tramadol, traditional opioids, and combination (opioids and tramadol). Multivariate analysis was used to account for small variations in cohort demographics and comorbidities. Analysis focused on resource utilization and complications. Revision rates at 1 and 3 years postoperatively were also compared. RESULTS A total of 29,454 TSA patients were studied, with 8959 available for 3-year postoperative follow-up. Of these, 10,462 (35.5%) were prescribed traditional opioids and 2214 (7.5%) tramadol only. From 2009 to 2018, prescribing trends in the United States demonstrated a significant decrease in the number of patients prescribed preoperative narcotics, whereas the number of patients prescribed preoperative tramadol and those who were opioid naïve significantly increased. Compared with opioid-naïve patients, the traditional opioid cohort had significantly increased odds of resource utilization and complications, whereas the tramadol cohort did not. Specifically, the traditional opioid cohort had an increased risk of prosthetic joint infection compared with both opioid-naïve and tramadol cohorts. The traditional opioid cohort had higher revision rates than opioid-naïve patients at 1 and 3 years, whereas the tramadol cohort did not. CONCLUSION Despite a decrease in opioid prescriptions over the study period, many patients in the United States remain on opioids. Although tramadol is not without its own risks, our results suggest that patients taking preoperative tramadol as an alternative to traditional opioids for glenohumeral arthritic pain had a lesser postoperative risk profile, comparable with opioid-naïve patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) with a nonspherical humeral head component and inlay glenoid is a successful bone-preserving treatment for glenohumeral arthritis. This study aimed to describe the 90-day complication profile of TSA with this prosthesis and compare major and minor complication and readmission rates between inpatient- and outpatient-procedure patients. METHODS A retrospective review was performed of a consecutive cohort of patients undergoing TSA with a nonspherical humeral head and inlay glenoid in the inpatient and outpatient settings by a single surgeon between 2017 and 2022. Age, sex, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), and 90-day complication and readmission rates were compared between inpatient and outpatient groups. RESULTS One hundred eighteen TSAs in 111 patients were identified. Mean age was 64.9 years (range, 39-90) and 65% of patients were male. Ninety-four (80%) and 24 (20%) patients underwent outpatient and inpatient procedures, respectively. Four complications (3.4%) were recorded: axillary nerve stretch injury, isolated ipsilateral arm deep venous thrombosis (DVT), ipsilateral arm DVT with pulmonary embolism requiring readmission, and gastrointestinal bleed requiring readmission. There were no reoperations or other complications. Outpatients were younger with lower ASA and CCI scores than inpatients; however, there was no difference in complications (1/24 vs. 3/94, P=1.00) or readmissions (1/24 vs. 1/94, P=0.37) between these two groups. CONCLUSIONS TSA with a nonspherical humeral head and inlay glenoid can be performed safely in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Rates of early complications and readmissions were low with no difference according to surgical setting. Level of evidence: IV.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There has been a trend toward performing arthroplasty in the ambulatory setting. The primary purpose of this study was to compare outpatient and inpatient total shoulder arthroplasties (TSAs) for postoperative medical complications, healthcare utilization outcomes, and surgical outcomes. METHODS Patients who underwent outpatient TSA or inpatient TSA with a minimum 5-year follow-up were identified in the PearlDiver database. These cohorts were propensity-matched based on age, sex, Charlson Comorbidity Index, smoking status, and obesity (body mass index > 30). All outcomes were analyzed using chi square and Student t-tests where appropriate. RESULTS Outpatient TSA patients had markedly lower rates of various 90-day medical complications. Outpatient TSA patients had lower risk of aseptic loosening at 2 years postoperation and lower risk of periprosthetic joint infection at 5 years postoperation relative to inpatient TSA patients. Outpatient TSA reimbursements were markedly lower than inpatient TSA reimbursements at the 30-day, 90-day, and 1-year postoperative intervals. CONCLUSION This study found patients undergoing outpatient TSA to be at lowers odds for both postoperative medical and surgical complications compared with those undergoing inpatient TSA. Despite increased risk of postoperative healthcare utilization for readmissions and emergency department visits, outpatient TSA was markedly less expensive at every postoperative time point assessed.

Abstract
Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a crucial complication of reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). Continuous local antibiotic perfusion (CLAP) with a high-concentration antimicrobial pharmacy administration method has recently received attention owing to its effectiveness in the treatment of bone and soft tissue infections. We herein report a case of PJI following RSA that was successfully treated with CLAP without removal of the entire implant. A 73-year-old woman with comorbidities of diabetes mellitus and hypertension underwent RSA. The wound was found to be swollen eight weeks after RSA, and purulent content that was positive for Propionibacterium granulosum was identified. Blood samples indicated a mildly elevated inflammatory response. With a diagnosis of PJI spread from the intra-articular to subcutaneous regions without implant loosening, the patient underwent surgical treatment nine weeks after RSA. The contaminated tissues were thoroughly debrided, and the prosthetic joint was preserved by replacing the glenosphere and polyethylene liner. Intra-soft tissue antibiotic perfusion (iSAP) tubes and effluent drains were placed intra-articularly and subcutaneously, and gentamicin was infused continuously for 12 days. In addition, ceftriaxone and rifampicin were administered. The patient was subsequently treated with minocycline and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim or clindamycin for eight weeks. The inflammatory reaction became negative six weeks postoperatively, and the patient had no recurrence at 15 months postoperatively. Treatment of PJI is considered a long-lasting, challenging process. This case report supports the feasibility of using CLAP in the treatment of PJI.

Abstract
Background Smoking is a major public health concern and an important risk factor to consider during preoperative planning. Smoking has previously been reported as the single most important risk factor for developing postoperative complications after elective orthopedic surgery. However, there is limited literature regarding the postoperative complications associated with smoking following outpatient total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between smoking status and early postoperative complications following outpatient TSA using a large national database. Methods We queried the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database for all patients who underwent TSA between 2015 and 2020. Smoking status in National Surgical Quality Improvement Program is defined as any episode of smoking with 12 months prior to surgery. Bivariate logistic regression was used to identify patient demographics, comorbidities, and complications significantly associated with current or recent smoking status in patients who underwent TSA with a length of stay (LOS) of 0. Multivariate logistic regression, adjusted for all significantly associated patient demographics and comorbidities, was used to identify associations between current or recent smokers and 30-day postoperative complications. Results 22,817 patients were included in the analysis, 2367 (10.4%) were current or recent smokers and 20,450 (89.6%) were nonsmokers. These patients were further stratified based on LOS: 2428 (10.6%) patients had a LOS of 0 days, 15,267 (66.9%) patients had a LOS of 1 day, and 5122 (22.4%) patients had a LOS of 2 days. Within the outpatient cohort (LOS = 0), 202 (8.3%) patients were current or recent smokers and 2226 (91.7%) were nonsmokers. Multivariate logistic regression identified current or recent smoking status to be independently associated with higher rates of myocardial infarction (odds ratio [OR] 9.80, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.48-64.96; P = .018), deep vein thrombosis (OR 20.05, 95% CI 1.63-247.38; P = .019), and readmission (OR 2.82, 95% CI 1.19-6.67; P = .018) following outpatient TSA. Readmission was most often due to pulmonary complication (n = 10, 22.7%). Conclusion Current or recent smoking status is independently associated with higher rates of myocardial infarction, deep vein thrombosis, and readmission following TSA performed in the outpatient setting. Current or recent smokers may benefit from an inpatient setting of minimum 2 nights. As outpatient TSA becomes increasingly popular, refining proper patient selection criteria is imperative to optimizing postoperative outcomes.

Abstract
Background We conducted a review of current literature to examine the effects of smoking and smoking cessation on shoulder arthroplasty surgery. Methods A literature search was performed using the search terms "shoulder arthroplasty AND [smoke OR smoking OR tobacco OR nicotine]." Studies included English-language clinical outcomes studies on anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), reverse TSA, and partial shoulder arthroplasty with evidence levels 1 through 4. Descriptive statistics calculated in the included studies were used during the analysis. Categorical variables were reported as proportions, while continuous variables were reported as means with minimum to maximum absolute ranges. Results Twenty-four studies were included and analyzed. Following TSA, patients who quit smoking at least 1 month preoperatively had improved outcomes compared to current smokers. Current smokers had statistically significant higher pain scores or opioid use. Five studies found increased rates of revision surgery in smokers. Smokers were significantly (p < 0.05) more likely to have increased rates of surgical, wound, superficial, and deep surgical site complications. Discussion Former smokers had lower complication rates and visual analog scale scores when compared to current users. A period of four weeks or more of preoperative smoking cessation is recommended. Level of Evidence Level III, Systematic Review.

[PMID: 37692876 PMCID: PMC10492530 DOI: 10.1177/17585732221102393] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2021] [Revised: 04/26/2022] [Accepted: 04/30/2022] [Indexed: 09/12/2023]
Abstract
Background Tobacco carcinogens have adverse effects on bone health and are associated with inferior outcomes following orthopedic procedures. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact tobacco use has on readmission and complication rates following shoulder arthroplasty. Methods The 2016-2018 National Readmissions Database was queried to identify patients who underwent anatomical, reverse, and hemi-shoulder arthroplasty. ICD-10 codes Z72.0 × (tobacco use disorder) and F17.2 × (nicotine dependence) were used to define "tobacco-users." Demographic, 30-/90-day readmission, surgical complication, and medical complication data were collected. Inferential statistics were used to analyze complications for both the cohort as a whole and for each procedure separately (i.e. anatomical, reverse, and hemiarthroplasty). Results 164,527 patients were identified (92% nontobacco users). Tobacco users necessitated replacement seven years sooner than nonusers (p < 0.01) and were more likely to be male (52% vs. 43%; p < 0.01). Univariate analysis showed that tobacco users had higher rates of readmission, revisions, shoulder complications, and medical complications overall. In the multivariate analysis for the entire cohort, readmission, revision, and complication rates did not differ based on tobacco usage; however, smokers who underwent reverse shoulder arthroplasty in particular were found to have higher 90-day readmission, dislocation, and prosthetic complication rates compared to nonsmokers. Conclusion Comparatively, tobacco users required surgical correction earlier in life and had higher rates of readmission, revision, and complications in the short term following their shoulder replacement. However, when controlling for tobacco usage as an independent predictor of adverse outcomes, these aforementioned findings were lost for the cohort as a whole. Overall, these findings indicate that shoulder replacement in general is a viable treatment option regardless of patient tobacco usage at short-term follow-up, but this conclusion may vary depending on the replacement type used.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The occurrence of prosthesis-related complications after total shoulder arthroplasty is devastating and costly. The purpose was to determine the incidence and risk of in-hospital prosthesis-related complications after total shoulder arthroplasty utilizing a large-scale sample database. METHODS A retrospective database analysis was performed based on Nationwide Inpatient Sample from 2010 to 2014. Patients who underwent total shoulder arthroplasty were included. Patient demographics, hospital characteristics, length of stay, economic indicators, in-hospital mortality, comorbidities, and peri-operative complications were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 34,198 cases were capture from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database. There were 343 cases of in-hospital prosthesis-related complications after total shoulder arthroplasty and the overall incidence was 1%, with a more than 2.5-fold decrease from 2010 to 2014. Dislocation was the most common category among prosthesis-related complications (0.1%). The occurrence of in-hospital prosthesis-related complications was associated with significantly more total charges and slightly longer length of stay while less usage of Medicare. Risk factors of prosthesis-related complications were identified including younger age (<64 years), female, the native American, hospital in the South, alcohol abuse, depression, uncomplicated diabetes, diabetes with chronic complications, fluid and electrolyte disorders, metastatic cancer, neurological disorders, and renal failure. Interestingly, advanced age (≥65 years) and proprietary hospital were found as protective factors. Furthermore, prosthesis-related complications were associated with aseptic necrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, rotator cuff tear arthropathy, Parkinson's disease, prior shoulder arthroscopy, and blood transfusion. CONCLUSIONS It is of benefit to study risk factors of prosthesis-related complications following total shoulder arthroplasty to ensure the appropriate management and optimize consequences although a relatively low incidence was identified.

Abstract
Many surgeons seek to optimize their patients' comorbid conditions preoperatively to reduce postoperative complications. To effectively optimize patients before total shoulder arthroplasty, the surgeon should be familiar with recognizing and treating common medical comorbidities found in an orthopedic patient including anemia, diabetes, malnutrition, cardiovascular conditions, and history of deep venous thrombosis. Screening for depression or other mental illness should also be conducted preoperatively and managed accordingly before surgery. Preoperative opioid use and smoking have significant effects on postoperative outcomes and should be addressed before surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Periprosthetic infection after shoulder arthroplasty is relatively uncommon though associated with severe long-term morbidity when encountered. The purpose of the review is to summarize the recent literature regarding the definition, clinical evaluation, prevention, and management of prosthetic joint infection after reverse shoulder arthroplasty. RECENT FINDINGS The landmark report generated at the 2018 International Consensus Meeting on Musculoskeletal Infection has provided a framework for diagnosis, prevention, and management of periprosthetic infections after shoulder arthroplasty. Shoulder specific literature with validated interventions to reduce prosthetic joint infection is limited; however existing literature from retrospective studies and from total hip and knee arthroplasty allows us to make relative guidelines. One and two-stage revisions seem to demonstrate similar outcomes; however, no controlled comparative studies exist limiting the ability to make definitive recommendations between the two options. We report on recent literature regarding the current diagnostic, preventative, and treatment options for periprosthetic infection after shoulder arthroplasty. Much of the literature does not distinguish between anatomic and reverse shoulder arthroplasty, and further high-level shoulder specific studies are needed to answer questions generated from this review.

Abstract
Introduction Postoperative outcomes following total shoulder arthroplasty can be affected by preoperative health factors such as tobacco usage. Methods The charts of patients who underwent anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty were retrospectively analyzed and stratified based on smoking status. The primary data included range of motion and patient reported outcomes. Additionally, demographic, radiographic, and survivorship analyses were conducted. All data were analyzed using statistical inference. Results There were 78, 49, and 16 non-smoker, former smoker, and current smoker shoulders respectively with no significant differences in sex, American Society of Anesthesiologists status, body mass index, or mean follow-up time (average: 10.7 yrs). Smokers (51.5 ± 10.4 years) were younger than both non-smokers (64.9 ± 8.1 years; p < 0.01) and former smokers (65.1 ± 9.1years; p < 0.01) at the time of surgery. For non-smokers and former smokers, all range of motion and patient reported outcome scores significantly improved. Smokers reported significant improvements in all patient reported outcomes and external and internal rotation. Visual Analog Scale, American Shoulder and Elbow, and Simple Shoulder Test scores were lower for smokers comparatively, but these differences did not reach significance. Forward elevation was higher postoperatively for non-smokers (149.7o ± 17.2o) and former smokers (147.1o ± 26.0o) compared to current smokers (130.9o ± 41.2o; p = 0.017). No differences between the cohorts were found in the radiographic analysis. Revision rates were lower in the non-smoking cohort (7.7%) compared to both former (20.4%; p = 0.036) and current smokers (37.5%; p < 0.01). Survival curves showed that non-smoker implants lasted longer than those of current smokers. Conclusion After a decade, patients generally had improved shoulder range of motion, functionality, and pain regardless of smoking status. However, current smokers required shoulder replacements sooner and revision surgery more frequently.

Medicaid payer status is associated with increased 90-day morbidity and resource utilization following primary shoulder arthroplasty: a propensity score-matched analysis. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2023; 32:104-110. [PMID: 35977669 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2022.07.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2022] [Revised: 06/28/2022] [Accepted: 07/07/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Medicaid payer status has been shown to affect risk-adjusted patient outcomes and health care utilization across multiple medical specialties and orthopedic procedures. However, there is a paucity of data regarding the impact of Medicaid payer status on 90-day morbidity and resource utilization following primary shoulder arthroplasty (reverse total shoulder arthroplasty [rTSA], anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty [aTSA], and hemiarthroplasty [HA]). The purpose of this study was to examine 90-day readmission and reoperation rates, hospital length of stay (LOS), and direct cost following primary shoulder arthroplasty in the Medicaid population. METHODS The National Readmission Database was queried for all patients undergoing primary aTSA, rTSA, and HA from 2011 to 2016. Medicaid or non-Medicaid payer status was determined. Patient demographic characteristics and comorbidities, along with 90-day readmission, 90-day reoperation, LOS, and inflation-adjusted cost, were queried. Propensity score matching was used to control for baseline differences in cohorts that could be acting as confounders in the exposure-outcome relationship. This was achieved with 1-to-1 propensity score matching between Medicaid and non-Medicaid patients. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for 90-day readmission and reoperation rates were calculated, and a comparison of LOS and cost was performed between the propensity score-matched cohorts. RESULTS A total of 4667 Medicaid and 161,147 non-Medicaid patients were identified from the 2011-2016 National Readmission Databases. Propensity score analysis was performed, and 4637 Medicaid patients were matched to 4637 non-Medicaid patients; each group comprised 1504 rTSAs (32.4%), 1934 aTSAs (41.7%), and 1199 HAs (25.9%). Patients with Medicaid payer status yielded significant increases in the 90-day all-cause readmission rate of 11.6% vs. 9.3% (P < .001; OR, 1.28 [95% CI, 1.12-1.46]), 90-day shoulder-related readmission rate of 3.3% vs. 2.3% (P = .004; OR, 1.44 [95% CI, 1.12-1.85]), and 90-day reoperation rate of 2.0% vs. 1.3% (P = .008; OR, 1.54 [95% CI, 1.12-1.94]). Furthermore, there was an increased risk of an extended LOS (ie, LOS > 2 days) (28.4% vs. 25.7%; P = .004; OR, 1.14 [95% CI, 1.04-1.25]) along with increased direct cost (median, $17,612 vs. $16,775; P < .001). DISCUSSION This study demonstrates that Medicaid payer status is independently associated with increased 90-day readmission and reoperation rates, LOS, and direct cost following primary shoulder arthroplasty. Providers may have a disincentive to treat patient populations who require increased resource utilization following surgery. Risk adjustment models accounting for Medicaid payer status will be necessary to ensure good access to care for this patient population by avoiding penalties for physicians and hospital systems.

Obesity does not associate with 5-year surgical complications following anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2022; 32:947-957.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although obesity has been shown to increase the risk of short-term medical complications following total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), evidence is lacking on the influence of obesity on longer-term surgical complications such as revision. The purpose of this study was to assess the association of increasing obesity with 2- and 5-year all-cause revision, periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), aseptic loosening, and manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) among patients undergoing reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) or TSA. METHODS Patients who underwent RTSA or TSA with a minimum 5-year follow-up were identified in a national claims database (PearlDiver Technologies). Patients with obesity (body mass index [BMI] ≥30) were compared to patients who are normal or overweight (18.5 ≤ BMI < 30). Those with obesity were further stratified to those with class I or II obesity (30 ≤ BMI < 40) and those with class III obesity (BMI ≥ 40). Outcomes for comparison included all-cause revision, PJI, aseptic loosening, and MUA within 2 or 5 years. These cohorts were compared using univariate and multivariable analysis. RESULTS Patients with obesity had no significant difference in any surgical complication within 2 or 5 years for both those who underwent TSA or RTSA. After stratifying by class I or II obesity and class III obesity, there was still no significant difference in surgical complications with 2 or 5 years for both TSA patients and RTSA patients. DISCUSSION Obesity, when other major comorbidities are controlled for, was not associated with increased risk of long-term surgical complications after shoulder replacement surgery.

Abstract
Tobacco use will kill a projected 1 billion people in the 21st century in one of the deadliest pandemics in history. Tobacco use disorder is a disease with a natural history, pathophysiology, and effective treatment options. Anesthesiologists can play a unique role in fighting this pandemic, providing both immediate (reduction in perioperative risk) and long-term (reduction in tobacco-related diseases) benefits to their patients who are its victims. Receiving surgery is one of the most powerful stimuli to quit tobacco. Tobacco treatments that combine counseling and pharmacotherapy (e.g., nicotine replacement therapy) can further increase quit rates and reduce risk of morbidity such as pulmonary and wound-related complications. The perioperative setting provides a great opportunity to implement multimodal perianesthesia tobacco treatment, which combines multiple evidence-based tactics to implement the four core components of consistent ascertainment and documentation of tobacco use, advice to quit, access to pharmacotherapy, and referral to counseling resources.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The volume of outpatient total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has increased with advances in perioperative protocols, patient selection, and recent policy changes regarding insurance authorization. This study analyzed 30-day outcomes from a national database to better understand risk factors for delayed discharge (length of stay [LOS] ≥1), readmission, and reoperation after outpatient TKA. METHODS The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database was utilized to collect TKA (CPT 27447) billed as outpatient surgery performed from 2013 to 2018. Patient demographics, comorbidities, and short-term outcomes were collected and compared in LOS 0 versus LOS ≥1 cohorts. Subgroup analysis was completed for TKA performed in 2018, after the Center for Medicare Services removal of TKA from the inpatient-only list. RESULTS A total of 13,669 patients had outpatient TKA performed from 2013 to 2018. Most patients had LOS ≥1 day (77.1%). The LOS 0 cohort demonstrated a lower 30-day readmission rate (1.8%) compared to LOS ≥1 (2.8%), P > .01. Both groups demonstrated a low 30-day reoperation rate, LOS 0 (0.7%) and LOS ≥1 (1.1%), P = .05. Regression analysis demonstrated risk factors for LOS ≥1 day included COPD, ASA ≥3, age >75, and BMI >35 kg/m2. Regression analysis demonstrated male gender, age >75, ASA ≥3, and albumin <3.5 g/dL were risk factors for readmission. Hypertension was a risk factor for 30-day reoperation. CONCLUSION Risk factors for LOS ≥1 day include age >75, ASA ≥3, BMI >35 kg/m2. In addition, BMI >35 kg/m2 was a risk factor for readmission and reoperation. These findings reinforce appropriate patient selection when considering outpatient TKA.

Abstract
Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty provides pain relief and improved quality of life for patients suffering from glenohumeral arthritis. The 10-year survival rate for these implants has been most recently reported at 96%. As the number of shoulder arthroplasties per year increases, it is important to evaluate factors associated with failure. Patient-specific variables such as age, sex, medical comorbidities, a history of previous shoulder surgery, and rotator cuff integrity can influence implant survival. Both surgeon and hospital volume have been shown to affect perioperative outcomes. Implant design and glenoid pathoanatomy are important structural considerations because both have a causal relationship with survivorship. Modifiable factors, such as smoking, body mass index, and alcohol or opioid consumption, should be addressed preoperatively when possible. Modifiable factors that pertain to surgery are equally as important; it is the responsibility of the surgeon to be aware of the reported outcomes for varying implants and technique-related pearls and pitfalls. For those perioperative factors that are nonmodifiable, it is prudent to counsel patients accordingly because these individuals may be more likely to require an eventual revision procedure.

Abstract
Background: There is a paucity of literature exploring the impact of smoking on short-term complications, readmissions, and reoperations after elective upper extremity surgery using a large multicenter national database. We hypothesized that smokers will have an increased rate of complications, readmissions, and reoperations compared with a cohort of nonsmokers undergoing elective upper extremity surgery. Methods: Patient data were collected from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database between the years 2012 and 2017. Patients were included if they underwent elective surgery of the upper extremity using 338 predetermined Current Procedural Terminology codes. The data collected were divided into patient demographics, comorbidities, perioperative variables, and 30-day complications. Current smoking status was defined as smoking within 1 year prior to surgery. The incidence of surgical complications, reoperations, and readmissions was compared between the 2 cohorts using multivariable regression analysis. Results: Of the 107 943 patients undergoing elective surgeries of the upper extremity, 73 806 met the inclusion criteria. Of these, 57 986 (78.6%) were nonsmokers in the year prior to surgery, and 15 820 (21.4%) were current smokers. Between these groups, current smokers were younger (P < .001), more often men (P < .001), had lower body mass index (P < .001), and more often underwent procedures that involved bone manipulation (P < .001). Multivariate regression analysis defined current smoking as significantly associated with overall surgical site complications, superficial surgical site infections, deep surgical site infections, reoperation, and readmission. Conclusion: Current smoking was significantly associated with an increase in all surgical site complications, readmissions, and reoperations after elective upper extremity surgery. Surgeons should consider smoking a modifiable risk factor for postoperative complications and appropriately counsel patients on outcomes and complications given the elective nature of upper extremity surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after total joint arthroplasty is a known risk factor for infection in subsequent joint arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to determine whether prior nonshoulder PJI contributes to the increased risk of infectious complications, greater healthcare utilization, and increased revision surgery after primary total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). METHODS Patients who underwent primary TSA for osteoarthritis with prior nonshoulder PJI were identified in a national database (PearlDiver Technologies) using Current Procedural Terminology and International Classification of Diseases codes. These patients were propensity matched based on age, sex, Charlson Comorbidity Index, smoking status, and obesity (body mass index >30 kg/m2) to a control cohort of patients who underwent primary TSA for osteoarthritis without any prior PJI. Primary outcomes include 1- and 2-year revision rates. Secondary outcomes include healthcare-specific outcomes of readmission, emergency department visits, length of stay, and mortality. Bivariate analysis was conducted using chi-square tests to compare all outcomes and complications between both cohorts. RESULTS Compared with patients without prior PJI, those with prior PJI had a significantly higher risk of 90-day surgical site infection (7.61% versus 0.56%) and sepsis (1.79% versus 0.56%) after TSA (P < 0.05 for both). Patients with prior PJI also had a higher risk of 90-day readmission compared with those without prior PJI (3.36% versus 1.23%, P = 0.008). In terms of surgical complications, patients with prior PJI had significantly higher risk of 2-year revision surgery compared with patients without prior PJI (3.36% versus 1.57%, P = 0.034). CONCLUSION Prior nonshoulder PJI of any joint increases rates of 90-day surgical site infection, sepsis, and hospital readmission, as well as 2-year all-cause revision after TSA. These results are important for risk-stratifying patients undergoing TSA with prior history of PJI. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
Evaluating the value of health care is of paramount importance to keep improving patients' quality of life and optimizing associated costs. Our objective was to present a calculation method based on Michael Porter's formula and standard references to estimate patient value delivered by total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). We retrospectively reviewed the records of 116 consecutive TSAs performed between June 2015 and June 2019. Patient value was defined as quality of care divided by direct costs of surgery. Quality metrics included intra- and postoperative complications as well as weighted improvements in three different patient-reported outcome measures at a minimum of one-year follow-up. Direct costs of surgery were retrieved from the management accounting analyses. Substantial clinical benefit (SCB) thresholds and the standard reimbursement system were used as references for quality and cost dimensions. A multivariable linear regression was performed to identify factors associated with patient delivered value. Compared to a reference of 1.0, the quality of care delivered to patients was 1.3 ± 0.3 (range, 0.6-2.0) and the associated direct cost was 1.0 ± 0.2 (range, 0.7-1.6). Ninety patients (78%) had a quality of care ≥1.0 and 61 patients (53%) had direct costs related to surgery ≤1.0. The average value delivered to patients was 1.3 ± 0.4 (range, 0.5-2.5) with 91 patients (78%) ≥ 1.0, was higher for non-smokers (beta, 0.12; p = 0.044), anatomic TSA (beta, 0.53; p < 0.001), increased with higher pre-operative pain (beta, 0.08; p < 0.001) and lower pre-operative Constant score (beta, -0.06; p = 0.001). Our results revealed that almost 80% of TSAs provided substantial patient value. Patient pre-operative pain/function, tobacco use, and procedure type are important factors associated with delivered patient value.

Abstract
Based on peer-reviewed systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials published between January 2000 and June 2019 with regards to the management of glenohumeral joint osteoarthritis (GJO), the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) established the clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of GJO. The guidelines provided practice recommendations including risk factors, non-surgical treatment, surgical treatment, prosthesis selection, and perioperative management for GJO. The recommendations were graded according to different evidence strength. This paper interprets the guidline in order to provide reference for domestic medical workers.

Abstract
Background Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) has become an increasingly popular surgery for patients with rotator cuff arthropathy, unreconstructible proximal humeral fracture, and end-stage glenohumeral arthritis. The increased annual volume of RTSAs has resulted in more postoperative complications and revision rates between 3.3% and 10.1%. Postoperative infection is one of the most common complications requiring revision surgery after primary RTSA. This study assesses patient-specific risk factors for development of early infection after primary RTSA in a single high-volume shoulder arthroplasty institution. Methods From 2014 to 2019, 902 consecutive primary RTSAs were performed for surgical treatment of rotator cuff arthropathy, glenohumeral arthritis, inflammatory arthropathy, and/or dislocation. Excluding proximal humeral or scapula fractures, 756 cases met the inclusion criteria and had a minimum of 3-month follow-up. All surgeries were performed using the same surgical technique and received similar antibiotic prophylaxis. Age, patient demographics, medical history, smoking history, and prior ipsilateral shoulder treatment and/or surgery were recorded. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to determine risk factors associated with development of postoperative shoulder infection. Results Thirty-five patients did not meet minimum follow-up criteria and were lost to follow-up. Overall, of 721, 22 patients (3%) developed a postoperative ipsilateral shoulder infection. Previous nonarthroplasty surgery and history of rheumatoid arthritis were significantly associated with the development of postoperative shoulder infection. Amongst 196 patients who had previous nonarthroplasty shoulder surgery, there were 12 postoperative shoulder infections (6%) compared with those without previous shoulder surgery (10 of 525, 2%) (P = .003). Among 58 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, there were 5 postoperative shoulder infections (9%) compared with patients without rheumatoid arthritis (17 of 663, 3%) (P = .010). Patient age, gender, smoking status, history of diabetes mellitus, history of cancer/immunosuppression, and prior cortisone injection did not demonstrate significant associations with the development of postoperative infection. Conclusion Prior nonarthroplasty shoulder surgery and/or rheumatoid arthritis are independently associated with the development of postoperative infection after primary RTSA. Patients who demonstrate these risk factors should be appropriately evaluated and preoperatively counseled before undergoing primary RTSA. Strong consideration should be given to avoid minimally invasive nonarthroplasty surgery as a temporizing measure to delay definitive RTSA.

Abstract
Early reported complication rates with the Grammont-type reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) were very high, up to 24%.A 'problem' is defined as an intraoperative or postoperative event that is not likely to affect the patient's final outcome, such as intraoperative cement extravasation and radiographic changes. A 'complication' is defined as an intraoperative or postoperative event that is likely to affect the patient's final outcome, including infection, neurologic injury and intrathoracic central glenoid screw placement.Radiographic changes around the glenoid or humeral components of the RSA are very frequently observed and described in the literature.High complication rates related to the Grammont RSA design led to development of non-Grammont designs which led to a dramatic fall in the majority of complications.The percentage of radiological changes after RSA is not negligible and remains unsolved, despite a decrease in its occurrence in the last decade. However, such changes should be now considered as simple problems because they rarely have a negative influence on the patient's final outcome, and their prevalence has dramatically decreased.With further changes in indications and designs for RSA, it is crucial to accurately track the rates and types of complications to justify its new designs and increased indications.

Abstract
Preoperative optimization has not been explored comprehensively in the surgical literature, as this responsibility has often been divided among surgery, anesthesia and medicine. We developed an evidence-based clinical practice guideline to summarize existing evidence and present diagnostic and treatment algorithms for use by surgeons caring for patients scheduled to undergo major elective surgery. We focus on 3 common comorbid conditions seen across surgical specialties - anemia, hyperglycemia and smoking - as these conditions increase complication rates in patients undergoing major surgery and can be optimized successfully as soon as 6-8 weeks before surgery. With the ability to address these conditions earlier in the patient journey, surgeons can positively affect patient outcomes. The aim of this guideline is to bring optimization in the preoperative period under the existing umbrella of evidence-based surgical care.

Abstract
Periprosthetic shoulder infection (PSI) remains a devastating complication after total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). Furthermore, there is a paucity in the literature regarding its diagnostic and therapeutic management, especially the absence of therapy concepts devised exclusively for PSI. The aim of the presenting study is to examine the characteristics and outcome of patients with PSI who were treated according to well-established algorithms developed originally for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) of the hip and knee and determine if these algorithms can be applied to PSI. This single-center case series included all patients with a PSI presenting between 2010 and 2020. Recorded parameters included age, sex, affected side, BMI, ASA score, Charlson comorbidity index, preoperative anticoagulation, indication for TSA (fracture, osteoarthritis or cuff-arthropathy), and type of infection (acute or chronic PSI). The outcome was divided into treatment failure or infect resolution. Staphylococcus epidermidis and aureus were the commonest infecting pathogens. Acute PSI was mainly treated with debridement, irrigation, and retention of the prosthesis (DAIR) and chronic cases with two/multiple-stage exchange. The treatment failure rate was 10.5%. C-reactive protein was preoperatively elevated in 68.4% of cases. The mean number of operative revisions was 3.6 ± 2.6, and the mean total duration of antibiotic treatment was 72.4 ± 41.4 days. The most administered antibiotic was a combination of clindamycin and fluoroquinolone. In summary, the data of the current study suggest that therapeutical algorithms and recommendations developed for the treatment of PJI of the hip and knee are also applicable to PSI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This multicentre cohort study investigates the effect of smoking on the outcome of rotator cuff repair (RCR), with attention to age at presentation for surgery, pre-operative and post-operative pain and function and intra-operative findings. METHODS Patient information was collected pre-operatively, including Flex Shoulder Function (Flex SF) and visual analogue scale pain, then at 6 months, 1, 2 and 5 years post-operatively. Intra-operative technical data were collected by the operating surgeon. Current smokers were classified by daily cigarette consumption. RESULTS A total of 1383 RCRs in as many patients were included with an 84% 5-year follow-up. Smokers were on average 6.7 years younger than non-smokers (51.8 vs. 58.5, P < 0.001). There was no difference in intra-operatively assessed tear size both in anteroposterior dimension (P = 0.5) and retraction (P = 0.9). Pre-operative Flex SF score in smokers was below that of non-smokers (23.0 vs. 24.5, P = 0.002) and at 6 months (P = 0.02) but no different at 5 years (P = 0.7). Pain scores were higher in smokers than non-smokers both pre-operatively (5.34 vs. 4.67, P < 0.001) and up to 2 years (P < 0.001) but not at 5 years (P = 0.073). CONCLUSION Smokers undergoing RCR were younger than non-smokers, and had worse pre-operative pain scores and shoulder function. Poorer post-operative function persisted to 6 months, and with higher reported pain to 2 years in smokers. However, at 5-year follow-up, patient-reported outcomes were not affected by smoking status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient satisfaction after primary anatomic and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) represents an important metric for gauging patients' perception of their care and surgical outcomes. Although TSA confers improvement in pain and function for most patients, inevitably some will remain unsatisfied postoperatively. The purpose of this study was to (1) train supervised machine learning (SML) algorithms to predict satisfaction after TSA and (2) develop a clinical tool for individualized assessment of patient-specific risk factors. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of primary anatomic and reverse TSA patients between January 2014 and February 2018. A total of 16 demographic, clinical, and patient-reported outcomes were evaluated for predictive value. Five SML algorithms underwent 3 iterations of 10-fold cross-validation on a training set (80% of cohort). Assessment by discrimination, calibration, Brier score, and decision-curve analysis was performed on an independent testing set (remaining 20% of cohort). Global and local model behaviors were evaluated with global variable importance plots and local interpretable model-agnostic explanations, respectively. RESULTS The study cohort consisted of 413 patients, of whom 331 (82.6%) were satisfied at 2 years postoperatively. The support vector machine model demonstrated the best relative performance on the independent testing set not used for model training (concordance statistic, 0.80; calibration intercept, 0.20; calibration slope, 2.32; Brier score, 0.11). The most important factors for predicting satisfaction were baseline Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation score, exercise and activity, workers' compensation status, diagnosis, symptom duration prior to surgery, body mass index, age, smoking status, anatomic vs. reverse TSA, and diabetes. The support vector machine algorithm was incorporated into an open-access digital application for patient-level explanations of risk and predictions, available at https://orthopedics.shinyapps.io/SatisfactionTSA/. CONCLUSION The best-performing SML model demonstrated excellent discrimination and adequate calibration for predicting satisfaction following TSA and was used to create an open-access, clinical decision-making tool. However, rigorous external validation in different geographic locations and patient populations is essential prior to assessment of clinical utility. Given that this tool is based on partially modifiable risk factors, it may enhance shared decision making and allow for periods of targeted preoperative health-optimization efforts.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between smoking status and postoperative complications within 30 days of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). Methods The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried to identify all patients who underwent ARCR from 2015 to 2017. Smokers were defined as patients who reported smoking cigarettes in the year prior to rotator cuff repair. Patients who used chewing tobacco, cigars, or electronic cigarettes were not included in the smoking cohort. Postoperative complications were reported within 30 days of the procedure. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to investigate the relationship between smoking status and postoperative complications. Results There were 18,594 patients included in this study. Of these patients, 2834 (15.2%) were current smokers. Smokers were more likely to be men, to be aged < 65 years, and to have a body mass index < 30. Smokers were also more likely to have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, to be functionally dependent, and to have an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class ≥ 3. After adjustment for all significantly associated patient demographic characteristics and comorbidities, smoking was identified as a significant predictor of surgical complications (odds ratio [OR], 1.955; P = .022), return to the operating room (OR, 2.547; P = .003), readmission (OR, 1.570; P = .014), and sepsis or septic shock (OR, 4.737; P = .021). Smoking was not a significant predictor of medical complications (OR, 1.105; P = .687) or surgical-site infections (OR, 1.216; P = .713). Conclusion Smoking may be a risk factor for surgical complications, readmission, and sepsis or septic shock within 30 days of ARCR.

The Impact of Smoking on Clinical Results Following the Rotator Cuff and Biceps Tendon Complex Arthroscopic Surgery. J Clin Med 2021; 10:599. [PMID: 33562734 PMCID: PMC7915659 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10040599] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2021] [Revised: 01/31/2021] [Accepted: 02/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of smoking and functional outcomes after arthroscopic treatment of complex shoulder injuries: rotator cuff tears (RCTs) with biceps tendon (LHBT) tears. This retrospective case-control study has been conducted on a cohort of patients who underwent shoulder arthroscopy between 2015 and 2017 due to complex injury treatment. The outcomes were assessed using the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Score (ASES), the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) Shoulder Score, need for non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) consumption and the visual analog scale (VAS). Complications and changes in smoking status were also noted. A cohort of 59 patients underwent shoulder arthroscopy, due to complex LHBT pathology and RCTs, and were enrolled in the final follow-up examination; with mean duration of 26.03 months. According to smoking status, 27 of patients were classified as smokers, and the remaining 32 were non-smokers. In the examined cohort, 36 patients underwent the LHBT tenotomy and 23 tenodesis. We observed a relationship between smoking status and distribution of various RCTs (p < 0.0001). The mean postoperative ASES and UCLA scores were 80.81 and 30.18 in the smoker's group and 84.06 and 30.93 in the non-smoker's group, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences in pre/postoperative ASES and postoperative UCLA scores between smokers and non-smokers (p > 0.05). The VAS was significantly lower in the non-smokers' group (p = 0.0021). Multi-tendon injuries of the shoulder are a serious challenge for surgeons, and to obtain an excellent functional outcome, we need to limit the negative risk factors, including smoking. Furthermore, there is a significant association between smoking and the occurrence of massive rotator cuff tears, and the pain level measured by the VAS. Simultaneous surgical treatment of RC and LHBT lesions in the smoker population allowed us to obtain the functional outcomes approximated to non-smokers in the long-term follow-up. Of course, we cannot assert that smoking is the real cause of all complications, however, we may assume that this is a very important, negative factor in shoulder arthroscopy.

Abstract
Background Smoking cessation programs started as late as 4 weeks before surgery reduce perioperative morbidity and death, yet outpatient clinic interventions are rarely provided. Our aim was to evaluate the feasibility of implementing a tobacco treatment protocol designed for an outpatient surgical setting. Methods We completed a pre–post feasibility study of the implementation of a systematic, evidence-based tobacco treatment protocol in an outpatient colorectal surgery clinic. Outcomes included smoking prevalence, pre- and postimplementation smoker identification and intervention rates, recruitment, retention, smoking cessation and provider satisfaction. Results Preimplementation, 15.5% of 116 surveyed patients were smokers. Fewer than 10% of surveyed patients reported being asked about smoking, and none were offered any cessation intervention. Over a 16-month postimplementation period, 1198 patients were seen on 2103 visits. Of these, 950 (79.3%) patients were asked smoking status on first visit and 1030 (86.0%) were asked on at least 1 visit. Of 169 identified smokers, 99 (58.6%) were referred to follow-up support using an opt-out approach. At 1-, 3- and 6-month follow- up, intention-to-quit rates among 78 enrolled patients were 24.4%, 22.9% and 19.2%, respectively. Postimplementation staff surveys reported that the protocol was easy to use, that staff would use it again and that it had positive patient responses. Conclusion Implementation of our smoking cessation protocol in an outpatient surgical clinic was found to be feasible and used minimal clinic resources. This protocol could lead to increases in identification and documentation of smoking status, delivery of smoking cessation interventions and rates of smoking reduction and cessation.

The effect of operative time on early postoperative complications in total shoulder arthroplasty: An analysis of the ACS-NSQIP database. Shoulder Elbow 2021; 13:79-88. [PMID: 33717221 PMCID: PMC7905503 DOI: 10.1177/1758573219876573] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2019] [Revised: 06/30/2019] [Accepted: 08/21/2019] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Total shoulder arthroplasty has been demonstrated to be an effective treatment for arthritis of the glenohumeral joint. Prior studies have identified longer operative times as a risk factor for complications after numerous types of procedures. We hypothesized that increased operative time, in 20-min intervals, would be associated with complications following total shoulder arthroplasty. METHODS Patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty from 2006 to 2015 were identified from the ACS-NSQIP database. Patient demographic information, perioperative parameters, and 30-day outcomes were retrieved. Pearson's Chi-square test and multivariate Poisson regression with robust error variance were used to analyze the relationship of operative time and outcomes. RESULTS A total of 10,082 patients were included. Multivariate analysis revealed that for each increase in 20 min of operative time, there were significantly increased rates of any complication (relative risk (RR) 1.24, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.19-1.26), anemia requiring transfusion (RR 1.33, 95%CI 1.26-1.4), peripheral nerve injury (RR 1.88, 95%CI 1.53-2.31), and urinary tract infection (RR 1.24, 95%CI 1.09-1.41). DISCUSSION This study indicates that increasing operative time confers increased risk for postoperative complications following total shoulder arthroplasty. We anticipate the results of this manuscript will be used for provider education, policy decision-making, and potentially to derive algorithms that can improve safety and efficiency in total shoulder arthroplasty.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Periprosthetic infection is a relatively rare but potentially devastating complication after shoulder arthroplasty. The purpose of this article is to review the incidence, diagnosis, prevention, and management of periprosthetic infections after reverse shoulder arthroplasty, with a focus on literature published within the last 5 years. RECENT FINDINGS The 2018 International Consensus Meeting on Musculoskeletal Infection provides us with a framework for the diagnosis and management of periprosthetic infections after shoulder arthroplasty. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty has a higher reported rate of infection compared with anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty. Our current diagnostic tests do not appear to be as sensitive when compared with the hip and knee literature. Similar success has been reported with single and two-stage revision protocols, although prospective comparative data are lacking. The significance of unexpected positive cultures during revision arthroplasty remains unclear. We report current diagnostic and therapeutic options for periprosthetic infection after reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Much of the current literature does not distinguish between anatomic and reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Further high-level studies are warranted to refine these definitions and guide management.

Abstract
Aims The impact of tobacco use on readmission and medical and surgical complications has been documented in hip and knee arthroplasty. However, there remains little information about the effect of smoking on the outcome after total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). We hypothesized that active smokers are at an increased risk of poor medical and surgial outcomes after TSA. Methods Data for patients who underwent arthroplasty of the shoulder in the USA between January 2011 and December 2015 were obtained from the National Readmission Database, and 90-day readmissions and complications were documented using validated coding methods. Multivariate regression analysis was performed to quantify the risk of smoking on the outcome after TSA, while controlling for patient demographics, comorbidities, and hospital-level confounding factors. Results A total of 196,325 non-smokers (93.1%) and 14,461 smokers (6.9%) underwent TSA during the five-year study period. Smokers had significantly increased rates of 30- and 90-day readmission (p = 0.025 and 0.001, respectively), revision within 90 days (p < 0.001), infection (p < 0.001), wound complications (p < 0.001), and instability of the prosthesis (p < 0.001). They were also at significantly greater risk of suffering from pneumonia (p < 0.001), sepsis (p = 0.001), and myocardial infarction (p < 0.001), postoperatively. Conclusion Smokers have an increased risk of readmission and medical and surgical complications after TSA. These risks are similar to those found for smokers after hip and knee arthroplasty. Many surgeons choose to avoid these elective procedures in patients who smoke. The increased risks should be considered when counselling patients who smoke before undertaking TSA.

Abstract
Background Globally, reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has moved away from the Grammont design to modern prosthesis designs. The purpose of this study was to provide a focused, updated systematic review for each of the most common complications of RSA by limiting each search to publications after 2010. In this part II, the following were examined: (1) instability, (2) humerus/glenoid fracture, (3) acromial/scapular spine fractures (AF/SSF), and (4) problems/miscellaneous. Methods Four separate PubMed database searches were performed following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Overall, 137 studies for instability, 94 for humerus/glenoid fracture, 120 for AF/SSF, and 74 for problems/miscellaneous were included in each review, respectively. Univariate analysis was performed with chi-square and Fisher exact tests. Results The Grammont design had a higher instability rate vs. all other designs combined (4.0%, 1.3%; P < .001), and the onlay humerus design had a lower rate than the lateralized glenoid design (0.9%, 2.0%; P = .02). The rate for intraoperative humerus fracture was 1.8%; intraoperative glenoid fracture, 0.3%; postoperative humerus fracture, 1.2%; and postoperative glenoid fracture, 0.1%. The rate of AF/SSF was 2.6% (371/14235). The rate for complex regional pain syndrome was 0.4%; deltoid injury, 0.1%; hematoma, 0.3%; and heterotopic ossification, 0.8%. Conclusions Focused systematic reviews of recent literature with a large volume of shoulders demonstrate that using non-Grammont modern prosthesis designs, complications including instability, intraoperative humerus and glenoid fractures, and hematoma are significantly reduced compared with previous studies. As the indications continue to expand for RSA, it is imperative to accurately track the rate and types of complications in order to justify its cost and increased indications.

Abstract
Background Globally, reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has moved away from the Grammont design to modern prosthesis designs. The purpose of this 2-part study was to systematically review each of the most common complications of RSA, limiting each search to publications in 2010 or later. In this part (part I), we examined (1) scapular notching (SN), (2) periprosthetic infection (PJI), (3) mechanical failure (glenoid or humeral component), and (4) neurologic injury (NI). Methods Four separate PubMed database searches were performed following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines. Overall, 113 studies on SN, 62 on PJI, 34 on mechanical failure, and 48 on NI were included in our reviews. Univariate analysis was performed with the χ2 or Fisher exact test. Results The Grammont design had a higher SN rate vs. all other designs combined (42.5% vs. 12.3%, P < .001). The onlay humeral design had a lower rate than the lateralized glenoid design (10.5% vs. 14.8%, P < .001). The PJI rate was 2.4% for primary RSA and 2.6% for revision RSA. The incidence of glenoid and humeral component loosening was 2.3% and 1.4%, respectively. The Grammont design had an increased NI rate vs. all other designs combined (0.9% vs. 0.1%, P = .04). Conclusions Focused systematic reviews of the recent literature with a large volume of RSAs demonstrate that with the use of non-Grammont modern prosthesis designs, complications including SN, PJI, glenoid component loosening, and NI are significantly reduced compared with previous studies. As the indications for RSA continue to expand, it is imperative to accurately track the rates and types of complications to justify its cost and increased indications.

Associations of preoperative patient mental health status and sociodemographic and clinical characteristics with baseline pain, function, and satisfaction in patients undergoing primary shoulder arthroplasty. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2020; 30:e212-e224. [PMID: 32860879 PMCID: PMC7907259 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2020.08.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2020] [Revised: 07/30/2020] [Accepted: 08/02/2020] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
HYPOTHESIS AND BACKGROUND Shoulder pain and dysfunction are common indications for shoulder arthroplasty, yet the factors that are associated with these symptoms are not fully understood. This study aimed to investigate the associations of patient and disease-specific factors with preoperative patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in patients undergoing primary shoulder arthroplasty. We hypothesized that worse mental health status assessed by the Veterans RAND 12-Item Health Survey (VR-12) mental component score (MCS), glenoid bone loss, and increasing rotator cuff tear severity would be associated with lower values for the preoperative total Penn Shoulder Score (PSS) and its pain, function, and satisfaction subscores. METHODS We prospectively identified 12 patient factors and 4 disease-specific factors as possible statistical predictors of preoperative PROMs in patients undergoing primary shoulder arthroplasty at a single institution over a 3-year period. Multivariable statistical modeling and Akaike information criterion comparisons were used to investigate the unique associations with, and relative importance of, these factors in accounting for variation in the preoperative PSS and its subscores. RESULTS A total of 788 cases performed by 12 surgeons met the inclusion criteria, with a preoperative median total PSS of 31 points (pain, 10 points; function, 18 points; and satisfaction, 1 point). As hypothesized, a lower VR-12 MCS was associated with lower preoperative PSS pain, function, and total scores, but patients with intact status or small to medium rotator cuff tears had modestly lower PSS pain subscores (ie, more pain) than patients with large to massive superior-posterior rotator cuff tears. Glenoid bone loss was not associated with the preoperative PSS. Female sex and fewer years of education (for all 4 outcomes), lower VR-12 MCS and preoperative opioid use (for all outcomes but satisfaction), and rotator cuff tear severity (for pain only) were the factors most prominently associated with preoperative PROMs. CONCLUSION In addition to mental health status and rotator cuff tear status, patient sex, years of education, and preoperative opioid use were most prominently associated with preoperative PROMs in patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty. Further studies are needed to investigate whether these factors will also predict postoperative PROMs.

Mental health and tobacco use are correlated with PROMIS upper extremity and pain interference scores in patients with shoulder pathology. Musculoskelet Surg 2020; 106:69-74. [PMID: 32661838 DOI: 10.1007/s12306-020-00674-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2020] [Accepted: 07/06/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To determine whether patient demographics have predictive influence on patient-reported outcomes measurement information system (PROMIS) domains of pain interference (PROMIS-PI), depression (PROMIS-D), and upper extremity (PROMIS-UE) for patients with shoulder pathology treated nonoperatively. METHODS Patients with partial rotator cuff tears, impingement, scapular dyskinesia, osteoarthritis, muscle strains, biceps tendonitis, instability, and acromioclavicular arthritis were retrospectively identified. Patients who underwent surgery were excluded. Demographic characteristics were documented, and PROMIS scores before and after nonoperative intervention were analyzed for correlations between each domain. RESULTS A total of 638 questionnaires (PROMIS-UE, PROMIS-PI, and PROMIS-D) were analyzed. PROMIS-UE had a strong negative correlation with PROMIS-PI (R = - 0.73, P < .001). PROMIS-PI and PROMIS-D demonstrated a positive correlation of moderate strength (R = 0.54, P < .001). Patients who never used tobacco, compared to current or former users, had significantly higher PROMIS-UE scores (34.5 vs. 30.6 and 31.9; P < .001), lower PROMIS-PI (59.7 vs. 63.1 and 60.9; P < .001), and lower PROMIS-D scores (47.3 vs. 52.1 and 49.3; P < .001). Patients with body mass index < 24.8 had significantly higher PROMIS-UE scores than those with > 24.8 (P < .05). CONCLUSION There is an inverse relationship between upper extremity physical function and pain and depression, as measured by PROMIS scores. Smoking and increased BMI are significant contributors to worse outcomes in patients with shoulder pathology, even in nonoperative populations. Counseling patients regarding prognosis and functional outcomes is important in managing their expectations in this patient population.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between smoking and postoperative complications following total shoulder arthroplasty. We hypothesized that active smokers would have significantly greater postoperative medical and surgical complications. METHODS The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried for patients who underwent total shoulder arthroplasties from 2005 through 2016. Patients were stratified based on tobacco use within the past year. Logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between smoking status and postoperative medical and surgical complications. Multivariate logistic regression was used to adjust for demographic and comorbid factors. RESULTS We identified 14,465 patients, of whom 10.5% were active smokers. Smokers were more likely to be younger, to be female patients, and to have a lower body mass index compared with nonsmokers (P < .001). Univariate analysis demonstrated that smoking was not associated with postoperative medical complications (P > .05) but was associated with an increased risk of overall surgical complications (odds ratio [OR], 3.259; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.861-5.709; P < .001). Multivariate modeling showed that smoking increased the risk of wound complications (adjusted OR, 7.564; 95% CI, 2.128-26.889; P = .002) and surgical-site infections (adjusted OR, 1.927; 95% CI, 1.023-3.630; P = .042). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that smoking is associated with an increased risk of surgical complications following total shoulder arthroplasty. On the basis of our available data, medical complications are not significantly increased. This information can help risk stratify patients prior to their procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of current and former tobacco use on minimum 2-year clinical and radiographic outcomes after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA). METHODS Review of primary RTSA patient data identified 186 patients with at least 2 years of follow-up. Patients were classified as nonsmokers (76 patients), former smokers (89 patients), or current smokers (21 patients). Assessment included preoperative and postoperative visual analog scale pain scores, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons scores, strength, range of motion, complications, revisions, and narcotic use. Radiographs were analyzed for signs of loosening or mechanical failure. RESULTS Overall mean age of the patients was 70 (48-87) years, and mean follow-up was 2.6 (2.0-5.7) years. Smokers (62.1 years) were significantly younger than nonsmokers (70.7 years) and former smokers (70.8 years; P = .00002). All patients had significant improvements in pain, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, strength, and forward flexion range of motion; however, smokers had higher visual analog scale pain scores (mean, 2.5) than nonsmokers (mean, 1.8) or former smokers (mean, 1.0; P = .014). Otherwise, no differences were found regarding any of the postoperative parameters (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS Aside from increased patient-reported pain, current tobacco use does not appear to negatively affect outcomes after primary RTSA. The RTSA design obviates the need for a functioning rotator cuff, possibly mitigating tobacco's negative effects previously demonstrated in rotator cuff repair and anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty. Former users obtained outcomes similar to those of nonusers, suggesting that tobacco use is a modifiable risk factor to achieve optimal pain relief after RTSA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this scoping review is to assess the current evidence regarding periprosthetic shoulder infection to inform development of evidence and consensus-based guidelines. METHODS A search of Medline, Embase and PubMed was performed; two authors screened the results independently for inclusion. RESULTS Totally 88 studies were included. Incidence of periprosthetic shoulder infection ranged from 0.7% to 7%. The most common organisms to cause periprosthetic shoulder infection were Propionibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus. Male gender and younger age are the most reported risk factors. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein and serum/synovial biomarkers had limited diagnostic accuracy. Thirty-nine studies reported the outcome of surgical management of periprosthetic shoulder infection. Eradication rates vary from 54% to 100% for debridement procedures; 66-100% for permanent spacers; 50-100% following single-stage revision; 60-100% following two-stage revision; and 66-100% following resection arthroplasty. CONCLUSION There is wide heterogeneity in study designs and outcomes of studies are often contradictory and due to issues with methodology and small sample sizes the optimal pathways for diagnosis and management cannot be determined from this review. Future research should be based on larger cohorts and randomised trials where feasible to provide more valid research for guiding future treatment of periprosthetic shoulder infection.

Abstract
Background The rate of hip arthroscopic surgery has recently increased; however, there is limited literature examining patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in cigarette smokers. Purpose/Hypothesis The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether smoking status for patients undergoing hip arthroscopic surgery affects clinical findings and PRO scores. We hypothesized that patients who smoke and undergo primary hip arthroscopic surgery will have similar clinical examination findings and preoperative and postoperative PRO scores compared with nonsmoking patients. Study Design Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods Data were collected on all patients who underwent primary hip arthroscopic surgery from February 2008 to July 2015. A retrospective analysis of the data was then conducted to identify patients who reported cigarette use at the time of the index procedure. Patients were matched 1:2 (smoking:nonsmoking) based on sex, age within 5 years, labral treatment (repair vs reconstruction vs debridement), workers' compensation status, and body mass index within 5 kg/m2. All patients were assessed preoperatively and postoperatively using 4 PRO measures: the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Non-Arthritic Hip Score (NAHS), Hip Outcome Score-Sport-Specific Subscale (HOS-SSS), and International Hip Outcome Tool-12 (iHOT-12). Pain was estimated using a visual analog scale. Satisfaction was measured on a scale from 0 to 10. Significance was set at P < .05. Results A total of 75 hips were included in the smoking group, and 150 hips were included in the control group. Preoperatively, the smoking group had significantly lower PRO scores compared with the control group for the mHHS, NAHS, and HOS-SSS. Both groups demonstrated significant improvement from preoperative levels. A minimum 2-year follow-up was achieved, with a mean of 42.5 months for the smoking group and 47.6 months for the control group (P = .07). At the latest follow-up, the smoking group reported inferior results for all outcome measures compared with controls. The improvement in PRO scores and rates of treatment failure, revision arthroscopic surgery, and complications was not statistically different between the groups. Conclusion Patients who smoke had lower PRO scores preoperatively and at the latest follow-up compared with nonsmokers. Both groups demonstrated significant improvement in all PRO scores. These results show that while hip arthroscopic surgery may still yield clinical benefit in smokers, these patients may ultimately achieve an inferior functional status. To optimize results, physicians should advise patients to cease smoking before undergoing hip arthroscopic surgery.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of preoperative bisphosphonate treatment on the intra- and postoperative outcomes of arthroplasty of the shoulder. The hypothesis was that previous bisphosphonate treatment would adversely affect both intra- and postoperative outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving patients undergoing arthroplasty of the shoulder, at a single institution. Two patients with no previous bisphosphonate treatment were matched to each patient who had received this treatment preoperatively by gender, age, race, ethnicity, body mass index (BMI), and type of arthroplasty. Previous bisphosphonate treatment was defined as treatment occurring during the three-year period before the arthroplasty. The primary outcome measure was the incidence of intraoperative complications and those occurring at one and two years postoperatively. A total of 87 patients were included: 29 in the bisphosphonates-exposed (BP+) group and 58 in the non-exposed (BP-) group. In the BP+ group, there were 26 female and three male patients, with a mean age of 71.4 years (51 to 87). In the BP- group, there were 52 female and six male patients, with a mean age of 72.1 years (53 to 88). RESULTS Previous treatment with bisphosphonates was positively associated with intraoperative complications (fracture; odds ratio (OR) 39.40, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.42 to 6305.70) and one-year postoperative complications (OR 7.83, 95% CI 1.11 to 128.82), but did not achieve statistical significance for complications two years postoperatively (OR 3.45, 95% CI 0.65 to 25.28). The power was 63% for complications at one year. CONCLUSION Patients who are treated with bisphosphonates during the three-year period before shoulder arthroplasty have a greater risk of intraoperative and one-year postoperative complications compared with those without this previous treatment.

Lack of level I evidence on how to prevent infection after elective shoulder surgery. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc 2018; 26:2465-2480. [PMID: 29340748 DOI: 10.1007/s00167-018-4832-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2017] [Accepted: 01/05/2018] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Infection is a concern after all orthopedic procedures, including shoulder surgery. This systematic review of literature aimed to determine risk factors for infection as well as the availability and effectiveness of measures utilized to prevent infection after elective shoulder surgery. METHODS An electronic database search was performed using MEDLINE (1950-October 2017), EMBASE (1980-October 2017), CINAHL (1982-October 2017), and the Cochrane database to identify studies reporting a risk factor or preventive measure for infection after shoulder surgery. RESULTS Fifty-one studies were eligible for inclusion. Risk factors identified for infection were male sex, the presence of hair, receiving an intra-articular cortisone injection within the 3 months prior to surgery, smoking, obesity, and several comorbidities. The only preventive measure with level I evidence was for the use of chlorhexidine wipes for cleansing the skin in the days prior to surgery and for the use of ChloraPrep or DuraPrep over povodine and iodine to prep the skin at the time of surgery. Level II-IV evidence was found for other infection prevention methods such as intravenous antibiotic prophylaxis. CONCLUSION There are many risk factors associated with developing an infection after elective shoulder surgery. Many preventive measures have been described which may decrease the risk of infection; however, most lack a high level evidence to support them. The findings of this systematic review are clinically relevant as it has been shown that infection after shoulder surgery results in poor patient-reported outcomes and pose a significant financial burden. As surgeons the goal should be to prevent infections to avoid the morbidity for patients and the increased cost for society. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV systematic review of literature.

Abstract
Smoking has many adverse effects on the musculoskeletal system, particularly on the outcomes after orthopaedic surgery. Smoking is associated with surgical site infection and postoperative wound complications after spine surgery, total joint arthroplasty, and fracture fixation; nonunion after spinal fusion, ankle fusion, osteotomy, and internal fixation and bone grafting for scaphoid nonunion; worse outcomes after lumbar disc prolapse, spinal stenosis, and cervical myelopathy surgery; periprosthetic joint infection and lower survival after total hip, knee, and shoulder arthroplasty; worse outcome after shoulder rotator cuff repair and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction; and wound complications after microsurgery. Orthopaedic surgeons should inform smokers and motivate them to quit smoking before orthopaedic operations.
