Frailty Is Associated With Increased 30-Day Adverse Events and Hospitalization Costs After Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Background: Frailty can predict adverse outcomes for multiple medical conditions and surgeries but is not well studied in total hip arthroplasty (THA). We evaluate the association between Hospital Frailty Risk Score and postoperative events and costs after primary THA.

Methods: Using the National Readmissions Database, we identified primary THA patients for osteoarthritis, osteonecrosis, or hip fracture from January to November 2017.
