Preoperative Hypoalbuminemia Predicts Infection, Fracture, and Repeat Revision After Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty; Prealbumin Stratification Does Not Refine Risk: A Retrospective Database Analysis

Background/Objectives: Hypoalbuminemia is a marker of poor nutritional status and has been associated with increased postoperative complications following total joint arthroplasty. However, its long-term implications in the revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) population are poorly characterized, and the utility of prealbumin to further risk-stratify these patients remains unclear. We aimed to study the association between preoperative hypoalbuminemia and complications after rTHA. Methods: We...
