- Prevalence of primary and revision total hip and knee arthroplasty in the United States from 1990 through 2002. (2005, background): “Requirements for inclusion of a hospital in the survey include (1) an average length of stay of less than thirty days for all patients, (2) a general hospital or a children’s general hospital, and (3) at least six beds staffed for patient use.”
- Prosthetic Joint Infection Risk after TKA in the Medicare Population (2010, methodology): “Thus far, assessments of PJI risk using Medicare data have been limited to 3- to 6-month postoperative assessment and suggest procedure duration and volume may be important risk factors [8, 9 , 12, 15].”
- Individual Experience and Experience Working Together: Predicting Learning Rates from Knowing Who Knows What and Knowing How to Work Together (2005, background): “Finally, we test those predictions among surgical teams that perform total joint replacements, a context where experience has been shown to improve organizational outcomes (Katz et al. 2001).”
- Infection burden for hip and knee arthroplasty in the United States. (2008, background): “when compared with patients treated at lowvolume centers [2].”
- Total knee arthroplasty volume, utilization, and outcomes among Medicare beneficiaries, 1991–2010 (2012, methodology): “We examined changes in the rates of 6 separate adverse outcomes occurring during the index admission (mortality) or readmission within 30 days of discharge (mortality, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, wound infection, postoperative sepsis, and myocardial infarction) that have been examined ”
