Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

Objective: While injuries among collegiate athletes are common and well-studied, there have been no studies comparing which sports and injury types have the highest operation rates. This information would be valuable for athlete governing bodies and providers to improve player safety. Our hypothesis was the surgery incidence rates vary substantially between sports and injury types, with football and knee injuries representing the sport and injury type with the highest respective surgery rates.

Galatz, MD, Professor and Chair, Orthopedic Surgery, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai; Paul J Cagle, Jr., MD, Associate Professor, Orthopedic Surgery, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

Objective: Peripheral nerve block (PNB) is an effective pain management option after shoulder arthroplasty with increasing popularity over the past decade. Large-scale US data in shoulder arthroplasties are lacking, especially regarding impacts on opioid utilization. This population-based study aimed to evaluate PNB utilization patterns and their effect on outcomes after inpatient and outpatient shoulder arthroplasty.

K-Means Clustering to Elucidate Vulnerable Subpopulations Among Medicare Patients
Undergoing Total Joint Arthroplasty

Authors: Daniel Ranti, MD-candidate, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai; Andrew J. Warburton, MD-candidate, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai; Katie Hanss, MD/MPH-candidate, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai; Daniel Katz, MD, Associate Professor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative & Pain Medicine, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai; Jashvant Poeran, MD, PhD, Associate Professor, Population Health Science and Policy, Orthopedic Surgery, and Medicine, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai; Calin S. Moucha, MD, Associate Professor, Orthopedic Surgery, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

Objective: The role of preoperative laboratory values for risk stratification following joint
arthroplasty is currently ambiguous. In order to improve upon existing risk stratification within joint arthroplasty, this study sought to define novel phenotypes of total hip or total knee arthroplasty patients based entirely on preoperative laboratory measures. These phenotypes ("clusters") were compared to elucidate statistically and clinically significant differences in outcomes.

Moucha, MD, Associate Professor, Orthopedic Surgery, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

Objective: Bundled payment models may lead to selection of healthier total joint arthroplasty
(TJA) candidates resulting in comorbid patients being taken care of in fewer hospitals. This study aimed to (1) evaluate hospital-specific TJA comorbidity burden ("casemix") over time and (2) associations with resource utilization.

Trends in Periprosthetic Knee Infection and Associated Costs: A Population-Based Study Using National Data

Authors: Robert Brochin, MD, Orthopedic Surgery, Cleveland Clinic; Jashvant Poeran, MD, PhD, Associate Professor, Population Health Science and Policy, Orthopedic Surgery, and Medicine, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai; Khushdeep Vig, MD, Orthopaedic Surgery Resident PGY-3, Albany Medical Center; Aakash H. Keswani, MD, Orthopedic Resident PGY- 2, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai; Nicole Zubizarreta, MPH, Senior Data Analyst, Institute for Health Care Delivery Science, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai; Leesa
M. Galatz, MD
, Professor and Chair, Orthopedic Surgery, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai; Calin S. Moucha, MD, Associate Professor, Orthopedic Surgery, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

Objective: Given increasing demand for primary knee arthroplasties, revision surgery is also
expected to increase, with periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) a main driver of costs. Recent data on national trends is lacking. We aimed to assess trends in PJI in total knee arthroplasty revisions and hospitalization costs. From the National Inpatient Sample (2003-2016), we extracted data on total knee arthroplasty revisions (n = 782,449). We assessed trends in PJI prevalence and (inflation-adjusted) hospitalization costs (total as well as per-day costs) for
all revisions and stratified by hospital teaching status (rural/urban by teaching status), hospital bed size (≤299, 300-499, and ≥500 beds), and hospital region (Northeast, Midwest, South, and West).

Sinai; Jashvant Poeran, MD, PhD, Associate Professor, Population Health Science and Policy, Orthopedic Surgery, and Medicine, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

Objective: Proximal humerus fractures (PHF) are a common upper extremity fracture in the elderly cohort. An aging and more comorbid cohort, along with recent trends of increased operative intervention, suggests that there could be an increase in resource utilization caring for these patients. This study sought to quantify these trends and quantify the impact that comorbidity burden has on resource utilization.
