Similar complication and readmission rates following simultaneous versus staged bilateral total hip arthroplasty.
Review in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeTo compare short-term complications and readmission rates, in patients treated with simultaneous versus staged bilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) within a year from the index procedure.
methodsWe reviewed the charts of patients that underwent simultaneous and staged-within a year-bilateral THA, between 2016 and 2020. Preoperative baseline characteristics were evaluated, while differences in terms of 30-day major and 30-day minor complications and readmission rates were compared between the groups.
resultsOne-hundred-sixty patients (mean age, 64.3 years; SD, ± 11.7) were identified. Seventy-nine patients were treated with simultaneous (Group A) and eighty-one patients with staged (Group B) THA. There were no differences in baseline characteristic between the two groups (p > 0.050). Group A was more likely to receive general anesthesia (43% vs. 9.9%, p < 0.001) and had longer total operative time (182.8 vs. 128.0 min, p < 0.001). Group A had an overall shorter total length of hospital stay (5.8 vs. 8.6 days, p < 0.001). No differences in transfusion rates (p = 0.229) and no differences in major and minor complications (p > 0.05) were identified. Postoperative visits at the emergency department or readmissions were similar between the two groups (p > 0.050).
conclusionThis study shows that similar complication and readmission rates are expected after simultaneous and staged THA. Simultaneous bilateral THA is a safe and effective procedure, that should be considered for patients that present with radiologic and clinical bilateral hip disease.
