Time to event data occur commonly in orthopedics research and require special methods that are often called "survival analysis." These data are complex because both a follow-up time and an event indicator are needed to correctly describe the occurrence of the outcome of interest. Common pitfalls in analyzing time to event data include using methods designed for binary outcomes, failing to check proportional hazards, ignoring competing risks, and introducing immortal time bias by using future information. This article describes the concepts involved in time to event analyses as well as how to avoid common statistical pitfalls.

The optimal annual case volume for acute type A aortic dissection surgery in relation to long-term outcomes.
Eur J Cardiothorac Surg
January 2025
Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Maastricht University Medical Centre (MUMC+), Netherlands.
Objectives: Previous analyses of the volume-outcome relationship have focused on short-term outcomes such as early mortality. The current study aims to update a novel statistical methodology, facilitating the evaluation of the relation between procedural volume and time-to-event outcomes such as long-term survival, using surgery for acute type A aortic dissection as an illustrative example.
Methods: This study employed an existing dataset of type A dissection outcomes, retrieved from literature.
Outpatient total hip arthroplasty: robotic assistance reduces 90-Day postoperative events and optimizes outpatient care.

Purpose: The adoption of robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA) is increasingly widespread, yet its influence on outcomes in outpatient surgery remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate whether robotic assistance reduces the rate of 90-day postoperative events in patients undergoing outpatient THA, compared to those in inpatient procedures.
Methods: This historical-prospective cohort study analyzed 706 primary THA cases performed between January 2017 and January 2023 by three senior surgeons.

Objective: Maintaining a strong social network in later life can be challenging due to limited resources, life events, and changes in health. Social internet use provides an accessible way for communication that is less susceptible to age-related challenges. Although social internet use is increasingly used by older adults, we do not know how social internet use shapes older adults' offline networks.
