TKA patients were stratified into one of the three analgesia approaches: EA, cACB without steroid adjuvant, and cACB with steroid adjuvant. Hospital length of stay (LOS), discharge disposition, incidence of postoperative adverse events, and total milligram morphine equivalents (MME) requirements were compared between strata. Logistic regressions were performed to assess the independent effect of analgesia approach on prolonged LOS greater than 3 days (pLOS), non-home discharge, and total and daily MME requirements (tMME and dMME) following TKA.Results: Of the 4345 patients undergoing TKA, 1556 (35.83%) received EA, 2087 (48.03%) received cACB without steroids, and 702 (16.13%) cACB with steroids. cACB patients experienced lower rates of pLOS, higher rates of discharge to home than EA patients, and lower tMME and dMME. On multivariable analysis, cACB groups were at a lower odds of experiencing a pLOS compared to EA patients without steroids (OR = 0.64; 95% CI 0.49– 0.84; with steroids: OR = 0.54; 95% CI 0.38– 0.76). cACB groups had lower odds of a non-home discharge when compared to EA patients (without steroids OR = 0.42; 95% CI 0.36– 0.48; with steroids: OR 0.22; 95% CI 0.18– 0.27). On multivariable analysis, cACB groups required less tMME compared to the EA group (without steroids β=− 290 mmE; 95% CI: − 313 to − 268 mmE; with steroids: β=− 261 mmE; 95% CI: − 289 to − 233 mmE) as well as lower dMME (without steroids: β=− 66 mmE/day; 95% CI − 72 to − 60 mmE/day; with steroids: β=− 48 mmE/day; 95% CI − 55 to − 40 mmE/day).Conclusion: cACB was associated with greater discharge to home rates, lower rates of pLOS, and lower tMME and dMME consumption.Level of Evidence: Level IIIPlain Language Summary: Anesthesia practice for TKA in the inpatient setting varies widely. Retrospectively compared outcomes for EA and cACB with or without steroids in TKA. cACB is associated with superior perioperative outcomes vs EA. cACB is associated with reduced opioid analgesia requirements vs EA. cACB with steroids was superior to cACB without steroids.Keywords: adductor canal block, knee arthroplasty, complications, length of stay, pain control, milligram morphine equivalents, dexamethasone, methylprednisolone acetate, steroid, NSQIP, MME |
