Inpatient outcomes after primary total knee arthroplasty in patients receiving chronic dialysis: A nationwide propensity score-matched analysis

Key takeaways

This study used US hospital records to compare how people on long-term dialysis do in the hospital after a knee replacement, versus similar people not on dialysis. It shows links between dialysis and surgery outcomes, not proof of cause. The abstract was not available, so we could not check the numbers or how large the differences were.
