10-year evolution of day-case hip and knee arthroplasty: a Danish nationwide register study of 166,833 procedures from 2010 to 2020.
Article in Acta orthopaedica, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
background and purposeNo previous studies have investigated the use of day-case arthroplasty in Denmark on a national scale. We investigated the frequency of day-case surgery in total hip (THA), total knee (TKA), and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) from 2010 to 2020 in Denmark. PATIENTS AND
methodsPrimary unilateral THAs, TKAs, and UKAs performed for osteoarthritis were identified in the Danish National Patient Register using procedural and diagnosis codes. Day-case surgery was defined as discharge on the day of surgery. 90-day readmissions were defined as any overnight admissions following discharge.
resultsFrom 2010 to 2020 Danish surgical centers performed 86,070 THAs, 70,323 TKAs, and 10,440 UKAs. From 2010 to 2014, less than 0.5% of THAs and TKAs were day-case procedures. They increased to 5.4% (95% confidence interval [CI] 4.9-5.8) of THAs and 2.8% (CI 2.4-3.2) of TKAs in 2019. From 2010 to 2014, 11% of UKAs were day-case procedures, but they increased to 20% (CI 18-22) in 2019. This increase was driven by a few surgical centers (3-7 centers). In 2010, readmission rates within 90 days of surgery were 10% after THAs and 11% after TKAs, and 9.4% for both THAs and TKAs in 2019. Readmission rates after UKA fluctuated between 4% and 7%.
conclusionFrom 2010 to 2020 the use of day-case surgery in THA, TKA, and UKA increased in Denmark, driven by only a few centers. During the same period readmissions did not increase.
