Abstract | Objective: Frailty poses a crucial risk for postoperative complications in the elderly, with sarcopenia being a key component. The impact of sarcopenia on postoperative outcomes after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is still unclear. This study investigated the potential link between sarcopenia and postoperative outcomes among elderly THA patients. Methods: Totally 198 older patients were enrolled in this study. Sarcopenia in this group was determined by assessing the skeletal muscle index, which was measured using computed tomography at the 12th thoracic vertebra and analyzed semi-automatically with MATLAB R2020a. Propensity score matching (PSM) was employed to evaluate postoperative complications of grade II and above (POCIIs). Results: The variables balanced using PSM contained age, sex and comorbidities including hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and COPD. Before PSM, sarcopenic patients with reduced BMI (24.02 ± 0.24 vs. 27.11 ± 0.66, P < 0.001) showed higher POCIIs rates (48.31% vs. 15%, P = 0.009) and more walking-assisted discharge instances (85.96% vs. 60%, P = 0.017) compared with non-sarcopenia patients. After PSM, this group maintained reduced BMI (23.47 ± 0.85 vs. 27.11 ± 0.66, P = 0.002), with increased POCIIs rates (54.41% vs. 15%, P = 0.002) and heightened reliance on walking assistance at discharge (86.96% vs. 60%, P = 0.008). Conclusion: Sarcopenia patients exhibited a higher incidence of POCIIs and poorer physical function at discharge. Sarcopenia could serve as a valuable prognostic indicator for elderly patients undergoing elective THA. |
