Multivariable Postoperative Outcomes and Complications of Nerve Ablation Before TKA and Control-TKA
| Category | Total | GNRFA-TKA | Control-TKA | |
| Odds Ratio | 95% CI | P | ||
| Anemia | 0.170 | 0.111-0.249 | <0.001 | |
| Atrial fibrillation | 0.517 | 0.366-0.731 | <0.001 | |
| Arrhythmia without atrial fibrillation | 0.274 | 0.157-0.478 | <0.001 | |
| Blood transfusion | 0.338 | 0.144-0.662 | 0.005 | |
| UTI | 0.250 | 0.166-0.366 | <0.001 | |
| Prolonged opioid use | 0.478 | 0.409-0.559 | <0.001 | |
GNRFA = genicular nerve radiofrequency, TKA = total knee arthroplasty, UTI = urinary tract infection.
Ablation significance at P < 0.05 is presented in bold.
