- Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of postoperative complications and their association with sociodemographic and clinical variables. Methods: this is a descriptive, prospective follow-up study of 99 patients from a teaching hospital. Participants were selected by intentional sampling (reference) and followed for 30 days after hospital discharge. Descriptive, univariate and bivariate analyzes were performed. Results: 32 (32.3%) patients developed at least one complication, and 10 (10.1%) developed more than one complication within a 30-day follow-up. Pain (31; 31.3%) and Infection (12; 12.1%) were the most prevalent complications. A statistical association was identified between the clinical outcome of patients undergoing knee and hip surgery and the presence of postoperative complications (p <0.001). Conclusion: the occurrence of postoperative complications of knee and hip arthroplasty in a 30-day follow-up was high, especially pain and local infection.
