Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Studies have shown male sex to be a predisposing factor for peri-prosthetic joint infections (PJIs). Symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has been suggested as an additional risk for PJI. This study aimed to assess the impact of BPH on (1) lengths of stay (LOS), (2) complications (medical and implant-related), (3) readmission rates, and (4) healthcare expenditures after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). METHODS: Utilizing a nationwide sample from the 2010-2020 PearlDiver insurance database, an analysis was performed retrospectively for all males who underwent primary RSA. Males with BPH (n = 2,184) represented the study group and were ratio-matched with men without a history of BPH (n = 10,832) in a 1:5 manner by medical comorbidities. T-tests compared LOS and healthcare expenditures. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to determine the effect of BPH on 90-day medical complications, 2-year implant complications, and readmissions. A p value less than 0.001 was statistically significant. RESULTS: In-hospital LOS (1.96 days vs. 1.99 days, p = 0.683) did not significantly differ between cohorts. Males with BPH had significantly greater occurrence and odds (34.3% vs. 21.2%, odds ratio (OR):1.84, p < 0.0001) of all 90-day medical complications, including urinary tract infections (9.3% vs. 3.1%, OR:3.23, p < 0.0001), pneumonias (6.0% vs. 3.9%, OR:1.61, p < 0.0001), and acute kidney injuries (7.7% vs. 5.0%, OR:1.60, p < 0.0001). Two-year implant-related complications were comparable between study and control groups (12.2% vs 10.9%, OR:1.14, p = 0.073), including PJIs (2.3% vs. 2.2%, OR:1.02, p = 0.874). Readmission rates (1.88% vs. 2.11%, p = 0.482) and average global 90-day reimbursements ($26,301 vs. $24,399), p = 0.535) were similar between men with and without BPH. DISCUSSION: Males with a history of BPH have greater rates of medical complications, including UTIs and acute kidney injuries, within 90 days following RSA. BPH does not appear to be a risk factor for 2-year implant-related complications including PJIs. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.
