Table 2.

Association between 2-year proximal migration and revision rate for aseptic loosening at 10 years a

Increase in revision (%) /
mm proximal migration
95% CI
Crude 10 5.5–14
Adjusted for b
 N survival c 4.4 1.1–7.7
 N RSA b 7.4 3.4–11
Survival study quality 11 6.2–15
RSA study quality 8.4 4.2–13
Total match score 5.8 2.2–9.4

a The table shows the increase in the 10-year revision (%) for each 1-mm increase in 2-year proximal migration. In the crude analysis (unadjusted), 10% (95% CI: 5.5–14.2; p < 0.05) is added to the 10-year revision rate for every 1-mm increase in 2-year proximal migration.

b When adjusted for, e.g., the number of hips in survival studies (N survival) 4.4% (95% CI: 1.1–7.7%; p < 0.05) is added to the 10-year revision rate for every 1-mm increase in 2-year proximal migration. The association between 2-year proximal migration and revision rate for aseptic loosening remains significant, when adjusting for confounders (all p-values < 0.05).

c The square root of N was used for the weighted regression, so larger studies weighed more heavily.

N survival: number of cups in survival studies (survival study size);

N RSA: number of cups in RSA studies (RSA study size).
