Simultaneous and staged bilateral total hip arthroplasty: a Danish nationwide study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionBilateral total hip arthroplasty (BTHA) and bilateral simultaneous total hip arthroplasty (BSTHA) are done increasingly. Previous studies evaluating outcomes after bilateral procedures have found different results. The aim of this study was to investigate length of hospital stay (LOS), 30 days readmissions and 90 days mortality after BSTHA and BTHA on a nationwide basis. MATERIALS AND
methodsAll bilateral primary total hip arthroplasties performed in Denmark from January 1, 2010 to June 31, 2011 were identified using data from the Danish National Patient Registry. The staged procedures were divided into early staged BTHA (0-6 months) and late staged BTHA (6-18 months).
results103 patients underwent BSTHA, 370 underwent BTHA (0-6 months) and 207 underwent BTHA (6-18 months). Median total LOS was 4 days (IQR 3) after BSTHA vs. 6 days (3) after both BTHA (0-6 months) and BTHA (6-18 months) (p < 0.001). There were no deaths in the BSTHA group vs. 1 death in each BTHA group ≤90 days postoperatively (0.3 and 0.5 %, respectively) (p = 0.755). The readmission rate ≤30 days was 1.9 % after BSTHA vs. 8.9 % (cumulated) after BTHA (0-6 months) and 15.9 % (cumulated) after BTHA (6-18 months) (p < 0.001).
conclusionsIf patients are carefully selected for BSTHA, the procedure appears to be safe when combined with a fast-track protocol in Denmark. We found significantly lower readmission rates and shorter total LOS in the BSTHA group compared with the BTHA groups, potentially reflecting selection bias. The results should stimulate to evaluate BSTHA in a randomised controlled trial or a detailed prospective, large multicenter study with a fast-track protocol regarding morbidity, convalescence and mortality.
