The direct anterior approach in total hip arthroplasty may be associated with lower short-term mortality compared to various other approaches: a Dutch arthroplasty register study comprising 379,108 procedures
Findings were suggestive that the DAA provides a reduced likelihood for short-term mortality compared to the PL, AL and DL, after adjusting for confounding factors. Differences in mortality rate were more substantial in healthy patients and remained similar irrespective of time periods. Increased age, male sex, surgical approach, and cemented fixation increased likelihood on short-term mortality.
