Correlation of Hypertension With Adverse Outcomes Following Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Matched Cohort Analysis

The current, large-cohort study identified HTN to be diagnosed for more than half of patients undergoing THA. The clear correlation of HTN with many adverse outcomes and mildly (but statistically) lower 5-year implant survival highlights the need for further consideration of this variable. Although there could be other confounding factors that may not have been fully controlled, those with HTN are clearly an "at-risk" group.
