Postoperative Outcomes for Knee Arthroplasty Patients Under Different Anesthesia Types

250 patients undergoing unilateral total knee arthroplasty were categorized into regional anesthesia (78) or general anesthesia (172) groups. Fang Jia authored this retrospective cohort study, which compares outcomes like DVT incidence, readmission rates, ambulation time, and length of stay. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-09.

Use Cases

• Compare postoperative complication rates based on anesthesia type mentioned in the description
• Analyze factors influencing hospital length of stay and ambulation time
• Model risk factors for deep vein thrombosis based on patient age and BMI
• Evaluate the impact of anesthesia on postoperative pain scores and opioid consumption

Strengths

• Dataset includes 250 patient records with propensity score matching creating 78 balanced pairs
• Multiple secondary outcomes are measured, including D-dimer levels, pain scores, and complication rates

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect temporal/source bias inherent to a single retrospective study
