Increased Risk of Common Orthopedic Surgeries for Patients with Rheumatic Diseases in Taiwan

Background and Objectives: Rheumatic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriasis, and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), are characterized by chronic arthritis or spondyloarthritis, which can lead to joint and spine destruction. Our previous studies showed that the r...

description Background and Objectives: Rheumatic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriasis, and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), are characterized by chronic arthritis or spondyloarthritis, which can lead to joint and spine destruction. Our previous studies showed that the risk of common orthopedic surgeries, including total knee replacement (TKR), total hip replacement (THR), or spine surgery, was increased in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriasis, and SLE. The aim of this review was to summarize the risk of TKR, THR, cervical spine, and lumbar spine surgery on the basis of studies conducted using data from Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD). Materials and Methods: The risk of TKR, THR, cervical spine surgery, and lumbar spine surgery in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriasis, and SLE was summarized from the results of our previous studies and unpublished findings based on NHIRD data. Results: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis and men with ankylosing spondylitis showed an increased risk of TKR. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and women with SLE showed an increased risk of receiving THR. Only patients with ankylosing spondylitis had an increased risk of cervical spine surgery, and patients with rheumatoid arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis showed an increased risk of lumbar spine surgery. Although the risk of THR, TKR, or spine surgery in these patients has declined in the era of biologics use, direct evidence for the effects of biologics agents is not yet available. Conclusions: There was an increased risk of common orthopedic surgery in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriasis, and SLE. Clinicians should be vigilant to reduce the increased risk of TKR and THR in young and middle-aged patients with rheumatoid arthritis, THR in young patients with ankylosing spondylitis, and young female patients with SLE, as well as cervical spine surgery in young patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
