Heightens post-TJA monitoring caution for nonhome discharge; leaves open whether interventions modify the association.
Patient discharge destination following total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is determined by several factors, including preoperative education, comorbidities, social support, intraoperative events, and hospital course [1,2]. Optimization of these factors allows home discharge in a majority of cases, critical to rapid recovery initiatives demonstrating decreased adverse events with outpatient TJA [3]. The current value-based care environment also makes home discharge more favorable from the perspective of cost [4].
