Regional anesthesia was not associated with decreased readmission rates and costs after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in this study.
In this analysis of 138,362 privately insured TKA patients 18-64 years of age, the adjusted 90-day readmission rate was 1.8% for those who did not receive regional anesthesia compared to 1.7% for those who did.
Adjusted readmission-related postoperative costs for patients who did not receive regional anesthesia was $561 and $574 for patients who did.
