OBJECTIVE: The relationship between hypoalbuminemia and complications after revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) has not been established. We hypothesize that hypoalbuminemia is associated with complications in patients undergoing revision THA. METHODS: The ACS-NSQIP database was queried for patients undergoing revision THA. Chi square and regression analyses were used to assess the relationship between hypoalbuminemia, demographics, other comorbidities, and complications. RESULTS: Hypoalbuminemia is associated with an increased risk of reoperation, bleeding complications, surgical site infections, non-routine discharge, medical complications, and surgical complications. CONCLUSIONS: Albumin levels should be considered in the preoperative planning of patients undergoing revision THA for possible nutritional optimization.
