Purpose:To describe trends in the length of stay (LOS), costs, mortality, and discharge destination among a national sample of total hip replacement (THR) patients between 1997 and 2012.Design:Longitudinal retrospective designMethods:Descriptive analysis of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) National Inpatient Sample data.Findings:A total of 3,516,636 procedures were performed over the study period. Most THR patients were women, and the proportion aged 44–65 years increased. LOS decreased from 5 to 3 days. Charges more than doubled, from $22,184 to $53,901. Deaths decreased from 43 to 12 deaths per 10,000 patients. THR patients discharged to an institutional setting declined, while those discharged to the community increased.Conclusion:We found an increase in THR patients, who were younger, women, had private insurance, and among those discharged to community-based settings.Clinical Relevance:Findings have implications for patient profiles, workplace environments, quality improvement, and educational preparation of nurses in acute and postacute settings.
