Factors associated with high hidden blood loss in patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty for osteoarthritis: a cross-sectional retrospective study of 1444 patients
This study identifies several factors associated with high hidden blood loss in patients undergoing TKA for osteoarthritis. CAD, CMTKA, prolonged operation time, left-sided surgery, lower preoperative platelet count, and lack of preoperative erythropoietin (EPO) use were significantly linked to HHBL. While these associations highlight potential targets for intervention, further prospective studies are needed to confirm causality.
