SZShibai ZhuWQWenwei QianCJChao Jiang

Structured PICO

Does ERAS reduce LOS, complications, and readmission rates in patients who have had THA or TKA?

P
Population
Patients who have had THA (total hip arthroplasty) or TKA (total knee arthroplasty)
I
Intervention
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS)
O
Outcome
Length of stay (LOS), incidence of complications, and 30-day readmission rateshard clinical

ERAS significantly reduces length of stay and complications in patients undergoing total hip or knee arthroplasty without impacting 30-day readmissions.

ERAS significantly reduces LOS and incidence of complications in patients who have had THA or TKA. However, ERAS does not appear to significantly impact 30-day readmission rates.
