BACKGROUND: This study assesses if post-operative outcomes following THA vary by racial groups. METHODS: A review of the ACS-NSQIP database was performed to compare THA patient outcomes from 2008 to 2016 according to race. RESULTS: During the study period, 117,389 THA patients were identified. Blacks were at significantly increased risk of peri-operative complications in comparison to non-Hispanic Whites, including serious medical morbidity (+27%), and prolonged length of stay (+53%). CONCLUSIONS: Despite multivariate control and propensity-matched analysis of important risk factors, race independently predicts longer operative times and higher rates of discharge to non-home facilities.
