Two cohorts were generated: one consisting of patients prescribed losartan after surgery and a comparison group excluding patients with any documented prescription for commonly used angiotensin\u2010converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin\u2010receptor II blockers. After 1:1 propensity score matching by age, sex, body mass index, essential hypertension, lower respiratory disease, nicotine dependence, diabetes mellitus, anemia, chronic kidney disease, heart failure, and metabolic disease, both cohorts included 947 patients. Rates of medical and orthopaedic complications were analyzed at 30, 90, and 180\u2009days and at 2\u2009years. A subanalysis was performed for patients under 30\u2009years of age.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Rates of lysis of adhesions were low at all time points in both cohorts of 947 patients. This held true for other orthopaedic complications. Rates of serious medical complications were low and had no significant differences between cohorts. Subanalysis of cohorts with women (627 patients), men (308 patients), and patients 29\u2010years\u2010old or less (388 patients) also showed similar rates of lysis of adhesions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Orthopaedic complications after hip arthroscopy are very rare regardless of whether or not postoperative losartan is prescribed.
