AI Article Synopsis
- The study systematically reviewed the association between tobacco use and the risk of wound complications and periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) following total hip and knee surgeries.
- Tobacco users were found to have a significantly higher risk of these complications, with current users facing the highest risk compared to both former users and non-tobacco users.
- The results suggest that quitting tobacco before surgery can reduce the risks of complications, highlighting the importance of cessation for better surgical outcomes.
Article Abstract
Background: The purpose of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to quantitatively assess the association between tobacco use and the risk of any wound complication and periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after primary total hip and total knee arthroplasty procedures.
Methods: Relevant articles published before January 2018 were identified by systematically searching PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane library databases. Pooled odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals were calculated for end points of any wound complication and PJI. Additional analyses were performed to evaluate risks between current, former, and non-tobacco users.
Results: Fourteen studies were included in the meta-analysis. Tobacco users had a significantly higher risk of wound complications (OR, 1.78 [1.32-2.39]) and PJI (OR, 2.02 [1.47-2.77]) compared to non-tobacco users. Compared to non-tobacco users, there was an increased risk of PJI among current (OR, 2.16 [1.57-2.97] and former (OR, 1.52 [1.16-1.99]) tobacco users. Current tobacco users also had a significantly increased risk of PJI compared to former tobacco users (OR, 1.52 [1.07-2.14]).
Conclusion: Tobacco use before total hip and total knee arthroplasty significantly increases the risk of wound complications and PJI. This increased risk is present for both current and former tobacco users. However, former tobacco users had a significantly lower risk of wound complications and PJI compared to current tobacco users, suggesting that cessation of tobacco use before TJA can help to mitigate these observed risks.

Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) have emerged as a potential alternative to traditional smoking and may aid in tobacco harm reduction and smoking cessation. E-cigarette use has notably increased, especially among young non-tobacco users, raising concerns due to the unknown long-term health effects. The oral cavity is the first and one of the most crucial anatomical sites for the deposition of e-cigarette aerosols.

Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with exacerbations which can reduce quality of life and increase mortality. Single-inhaler triple therapy (SITT) is recommended for maintenance treatment of COPD among patients experiencing exacerbations despite dual-therapy use. This real-world comparative effectiveness study compared the impact of SITTs, fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol (FF/UMEC/VI), and budesonide/glycopyrrolate/formoterol fumarate (BUD/GLY/FORM), on COPD exacerbations and mortality.
