Medical Student Research Poster Symposium
Introduction: Risk factors for periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) following total joint arthroplasties (TJAs) include patient demographics and comorbidities such as age, gender, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, and diabetes. 1 However, there is insufficient research analyzing the number of PJIs in certain racial subsets of the population despite the presence of disparities due to race that still exists in orthopedics today. 2 The purpose of this study is to investigate if PJI rates differ by race, as well as other patient demographics. This may uncover valuable information on how race relates to PJIs which is frequently unaccounted for in other studies. This …

Lack Of Demographic Information In Tha/Tka Randomized Controlled Trial Publications, Katelynn Donnelly, Hannah Theriot, John Bourgeois, Andrew Chapple, Peter Krause, Vinod Dasa
Medical Student Research Poster Symposium
Introduction: The impact of social determinants of health (SDOH) has been documented in orthopedic literature. However, there is a lack of data on the inclusion of these variables in orthopedic studies. Our aim was to investigate how many THA and TKA randomized controlled trials (RCTs) report SDOH variables such as race, ethnicity, insurance, income, and education within the manuscript. Methods: A literature review was conducted on a PubMed search for RCTs published from 2017-2019 in 4 major orthopedic journals which routinely publish on total joint arthroplasty: JBJS, Journal of Arthroplasty, CORR, and Osteoarthritis and Cartilage. The inclusion criteria, THA/TKA RCTs …
