The association between socioeconomic status and the 90-day risk of cardiovascular events after total hip arthroplasty - registry-based study of 103,286 patients.

Background And Purpose: Patients receiving a total hip arthroplasty (THA) are subsequently at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Further, socioeconomic status (SES) has an effect on CVD. We evaluated whether low SES is associated with a higher risk of readmission due to CVD after THA within 90 days in a setting with universal tax-supported healthcare.
