Clinical Study of Enhanced Recovery after Surgery in Peri-operative Management of Total Hip Arthroplasty

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical effect and rehabilitation benefit of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) model in perioperative management of total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODSA retrospective study were conducted in THA patients from the database of big data Research Center of Biomedicine, West China Hospital of Sichuan University from 2013 to 2016. The differences of rehabilitation quality, rehabilitation efficiency and hospitalization cost between ERAS model (ERAS group) and traditional model (traditional group) were compared. RESULTS915 THA patients were included in the study, of which 497 patients were given ERAS peri-operative management and 418 patients in the traditional group. The rate of overall complications in the ERAS group was significantly lower than that in the traditional group (4.8% vs. 8.6%, P < 0.05), with lower rate of deep venous thrombosis (0.8% vs. 3.1%) and pulmonary infection (0.6% vs. 2.4%) in the ERAS group. Compared with the traditional group, the average length of stay in
