The Association Between Rheumatoid Arthritis and Adverse Postoperative Outcomes: A Retrospective Analysis.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Patients with rheumatoid arthritis have a high overall incidence of mortality, primarily because of cardiovascular complications. Thus, we tested the primary hypothesis that rheumatoid arthritis is independently associated with increased postoperative cardiovascular complications. Second, we determined whether rheumatoid arthritis is associated with increased thromboembolic complications, microcirculatory complications, and mortality. METHODS We obtained censuses of 2009 to 2010 inpatient hospital discharge data across 7 states (Arizona, California, Florida, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, and New Jersey). Rheumatoid arthritis was identified using the present-on-admission diagnosis code 714.0. Each rheumatoid arthritis discharge that had surgery was propensity matched to a control discharge. Multivariable logistic regression was used to compare matched rheumatoid arthritis and control patients on risk of in-hospital cardiovascular complications. RESULTS Among 5.5 million qualifying discharges, the matching procedure yielded successful 66,886 matched pairs. One thousand ninety-five (1.64%) of the matched rheumatoid arthritis discharges and 1006 (1.50%) of the matched controls had in-hospital cardiovascular complications. The adjusted odds ratio (99% confidence interval) was estimated at 1.08 (0.96-1.21; P = 0.08). There were no significant differences in the odds of in-hospital thromboembolic complications (1.03 [0.93-1.15]; P = 0.42), in-hospital microcirculatory complications (0.94 [0.86-1.01]; P = 0.03), or in-hospital mortality (1.11 [0.98-1.25]; P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS Rheumatoid arthritis was not associated with an increased risk for postoperative cardiovascular complications.
