This study estimated the costs of hip and knee replacement surgeries in individuals with osteoarthritis and found that there are significant costs following the surgeries. Complications and revisions were associated with a considerable increase in costs. It is important to identify the best approaches to reduce these costs.
Objective To estimate the costs of primary hip and knee replacement in individuals with osteoarthritis up to 2 years postsurgery, compare costs before and after the surgery, and identify predictors of hospital costs. Methods Patients age >= 18 years with primary planned hip or knee replacements and osteoarthritis in England between 2008 and 2016 were identified from the National Joint Registry and linked with Hospital Episode Statistics data containing inpatient episodes. Primary care data linked with hospital outpatient records were also used to identify patients age >= 18 years with primary hip or knee replacements between 2008 and 2016. All health care resource use was valued using 2016/2017 costs, and nonparametric censoring methods were used to estimate total 1-year and 2-year costs. Results We identified 854,866 individuals undergoing hip or knee replacement. The mean censor-adjusted 1-year hospitalization costs for hip and knee replacement were 7,827 pound (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 7,813, 7,842) and 7,805 pound (95% CI 7,790, 7,818), respectively. Complications and revisions were associated with up to a 3-fold increase in 1-year hospitalization costs. The censor-adjusted 2-year costs were 9,258 pound (95% CI 9,233, 9,280) and 9,452 pound (95% CI 9,430, 9,475) for hip and knee replacement, respectively. Adding primary and outpatient care, the mean total hip and knee replacement 2-year costs were 11,987 pound and 12,578 pound, respectively. Conclusion There are significant costs following joint replacement. Revisions and complications accounted for considerable costs and there is a significant incentive to identify best approaches to reduce these.
