Metabolic syndrome increases the length of stay and medical complications after hip and knee arthroplasty: results from a prospective cohort study of 2,901 patients
Although patients with MetS do not experience a clinically relevant longer LOS after hip and knee arthroplasty, they have an increased risk of 90-day readmission mainly due to cardiovascular complications, which should be considered when planning surgical care in this group of patients.
