Postoperative revision, complication and economic outcomes of patients with reverse or anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty at one year: a retrospective, United States hospital billing database analysis.

Background: Data on the 1-year postoperative revision, complication, and economic outcomes in a hospital setting after total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) are sparse.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study using the Premier Healthcare Database, a hospital-billing data source, evaluated 1-year postoperative revision, complication, and economic outcomes of reverse (RTSA) and anatomic (ATSA) TSA for patients who underwent the procedure from 2015 until 2021. All-cause revisits, including revision-related events (categorized as either irrigation and débridement or revision procedures and device removals) and shoulder/nonshoulder complications were collected.

A dual-perspective analysis of the hospital and payer-borne burdens of selected in-hospital surgical complications in low anterior resection for colorectal cancer.

Objectives: The economic burden of surgical complications is borne in distinctly different ways by hospitals and payers. This study quantified the incidence and economic burden - from both the hospital and payer perspective - of selected major colorectal surgery complications in patients undergoing low anterior resection (LAR) for colorectal cancer.

Methods: Retrospective, observational study of patient undergoing LAR for colorectal cancer between 1/1/2010 and 7/1/2015.

Comparison of real-world clinical and economic outcomes between the ThermoCool SF and ThermoCool catheters in patients undergoing radiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.

Introduction: This study evaluated the real-world clinical and economic outcomes associated with the use of the ThermoCool Surround Flow (SF) and ThermoCool catheters in atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation.

Methods: Adults with AF who underwent catheter ablation between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2016, in a hospital outpatient setting were identified from the Premier Healthcare Database. Using a search strategy of hospital-charge descriptors, patients were classified into two mutually exclusive groups: ThermoCool SF catheter and ThermoCool catheter.

A cost analysis of early biliary strictures following orthotopic liver transplantation in the United States.

Introduction: To date, the financial burden of biliary strictures (BS) after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) has remained largely unassessed. This study sought to approximate perioperative costs associated with early BS and delineate where in the hospital these costs are incurred.

Methods: The Premier Healthcare Database was queried for patients undergoing OLT between 2010 and 2016.
