Abstract
The demand and cost of Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) and Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) have been on the rise, as projected in the literature. This rise coincides with population aging, increasing life expectancy, and increased clinical success. Unplanned admissions, for instance, take a large portion of healthcare costs, along with the length of stay (LOS), and are monitored to control the cost of healthcare services to improve the quality of care. This study aims to analyze the trends of LOS and readmission rates of THA/TKA patients, illustrate various readmission trends depicted by patients under different payers, medical comorbidity, and discharge type, and estimate the impact of LOS on the probability of readmission.
