Article Synopsis
- Postoperative delirium (POD) occurs in about 0.97% of patients after revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA), with its highest incidence recorded at 1.31% in 2013; factors such as advanced age and numerous health issues increase this risk.
- The study analyzed 127,400 rTKA patients using the National Inpatient Sample database from 2010 to 2019, considering demographics, hospital type, pre-existing conditions, and complications during surgery.
- Patients experiencing POD had longer hospital stays, higher costs, and more in-hospital mortality, with complications ranging from cardiac issues to surgical problems like infections and wound complications.
