Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the complications and blood management needs during total hip arthroplasty (THA) for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) compared to those with osteoarthritis (OA).
- It found that RA patients experience higher rates of wound complications, prosthesis dislocation, and require more blood transfusions and albumin than OA patients, despite having similar levels of blood loss during surgery.
- The results suggest that pre-existing anemia and low albumin levels are more common in RA patients, contributing to their increased risk of post-operative complications.
