Abstract

Objective:To investigate the relationship between hidden blood loss and quality of life after total hip arthroplasty in the elderly.Methods:87 patients were analysed and divided into two Groups.Group A,in which the HBL was higher than the average.Group B,in which the HBL was lower than the average.Statistical analyses were conducted to compare two groups in the SF score,Harris score preoperatively and at the time of the last follow-up.Results:The mean blood loss was 1523 mL and the hidden blood loss was 576 mL(38%).The SH-36 score,Harris score at the time of the last follow-up in Group A significantly higher than Group B(P0.05).Comclusion:Hidden blood loss maybe a useful prognostic information contributing to the functional rehabilitation and the quality of life in the elderly after THA.
