Improved understanding of these risks may improve efficiency and safety of treatment. We performed a retrospective, nested case-control study using an open-access database of 2,622 patients who underwent primary TKA at a tertiary academic medical center in Singapore between January 2013 and June 2014. Patients were grouped according to the incidence of complications. Multivariate logistic analysis was performed to identify predictive factors for TKA complications. The incidence of postoperative complications was 1.72%. Compared with cases performed with an operative time\u2009&lt;\u200970 minutes, increased operative time was associated with a higher risk of complications. Case duration\u2009&gt;\u200990 minutes was associated with an increased risk (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]\u2009=\u20094.57, p\u2009=\u20090.001; case duration\u2009\u2265\u2009111 minutes, aOR\u2009=\u20094.64, p\u2009=\u20090.04; and case duration between 91 and 110 minutes, aOR\u2009=\u20093.20, p\u2009=\u20090.03). The correlation between operative time and complications was nonlinear. Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or transient ischemic attack (TIA) was an independent risk factor for increased complication rate (aOR\u2009=\u200911.59, p\u2009=\u20090.02). Operative duration has been identified as an independent risk factor for complications after TKA. As it remains a modifiable factor to which doctors are interested in bringing quality improvement, the risk of postoperative complications will be reduced by minimizing the operative duration.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0039-1692630","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,29]],"date-time":"2019-07-29T22:35:26Z","timestamp":1564439726000},"page":"1100-1108","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Postoperative
