Abstract

This study aimed to investigate preoperative factors associated with non-home discharges from acute care hospitals in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) due to osteoarthritis. It was a scoping review focused on patients who received their first unilateral TKA for osteoarthritis. The research targeted observational studies that examined the destinations of patients post-surgery based on preoperative factors, with a literature search conducted in April 2023. Out of 3,255 identified papers, 28 met the eligibility criteria. A total of 26 preoperative factors were identified as potentially related to discharge destinations, including age, gender, comorbidities, and obesity. By selecting an appropriate discharge destination based on preoperative factors, there may be potential for more efficient use of medical resources. Future studies should consider preoperative factors in the context of national healthcare systems and lengths of hospital stay.

Keywords: discharge destination; osteoarthritis of the knee; predictors; preoperative factors; total knee arthroplasty (tka).
