Conflicting results exist with regard to the safety of THA in nonagenarians. The aims of this study were to evaluate postoperative mortality and morbidity after THA in nonagenarians and underlying risk factors. We hypothesized that nonagenarians undergoing elective THA would show higher morbidity than younger patients and higher mortality than nonagenarians in the general population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This was an observational cohort study using data from the German Arthroplasty Registry (Endoprothesenregister Deutschland [EPRD]). Of 323,129 THAs, 263,967 (including 1,859 performed on nonagenarians) were eligible. The mean follow-up (and standard deviation) was 1,070 \u00b1 641 days (range, 0 to 3,060 days). The exclusion criteria were age of &lt;60 years at admission and nonelective THAs or hemiarthroplasties. The cohort was divided into 4 age groups: (1) 60 to 69 years, (2) 70 to 79 years, (3) 80 to 89 years, and (4) \u226590 years. Comorbidities representing independent risk factors for postoperative complications and mortality were identified via a logistic regression model. Mortality rates were compared with those from the general population with data from the Federal Statistical Office. The end points of interest were postoperative major complications, minor complications, and mortality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among the greatest risk factors for major and minor complications and mortality were congestive heart failure, pulmonary circulation disorders, insulin-dependent diabetes, renal failure, coagulopathy, and fluid and electrolyte disorders. Compared with younger groups, the risks of major and minor complications and mortality were significantly higher in nonagenarians. Mortality increased when major complications occurred. After 1 year, the survival rate in patients without a major complication was 94.4% compared with 79.8% in patients with a major complication. The mortality rates of nonagenarians in the study population were lower than those in the corresponding age group of the general population. The 1-year mortality rates at 90 years of age were 10.5% for men and 6.4% for women within the study group compared with 18.5% for men and 14.7% for women among the general population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Comorbidities favor the occurrence of complications after elective THA in nonagenarians and thus increase postoperative morbidity. In the case of complications, mortality is also increased. The fact that mortality is still lower than within the general population shows that this aspect can be controlled by careful patient selection and adequate preparation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Level of Evidence:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Therapeutic\n                      <jats:underline>Level III<\/jats:underline>\n                      .
