Description/Abstract
Objective: To determine the use of oral anti-inflammatory drugs in the year before and the 2 years after primary total hip (THR) or knee (TKR) replacement, and whether this varies according to Body mass Index (BMI).
Design: 28,068 THR’s and 24,364 TKR’s, with five matched controls per case were identified from the General Practitioner Research Database. Anti-inflammatory usage was categorized into “zero coverage” – no prescribed anti-inflammatory medication and “>80% coverage” – prescribed anti-inflammatory medication for greater than 80% of the days in the year. Secondary subset analysis was performed according to BMI.
Results: 1 year post-surgery the proportion of cases on >80% coverage reduced from 21% (95%confidence interval (CI): 20–22%) to 8% (95%CI: 7–10%) for THR and 21% (95%CI: 20–22%) to 13% (95%CI: 11–14%) for TKR, with no ongoing reduction at 2 years. Zero coverage increased at one and both time points. The proportion of THR’s on >80% coverage increased with BMI pre-op. The magnitude in reduction post-op was similar across all BMI groups. The proportion of TKR’s on >80% coverage pre-op was greatest in extreme BMI categories. The magnitude in reduction post-op was similar across all BMI groups.
Conclusion: THR/TKR’s reduce the need for anti-inflammatory medication with most benefit observed in the first post-operative year. Increasing BMI affects anti-inflammatory use both in the general population and those undergoing THR/TKR surgery but without strong evidence of a detrimental effect on the benefits of pain relief.
