Perioperative blood loss leading to blood transfusion continues to be an issue for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients. The US Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) was used to determine annual trends in allogenic blood transfusion rates, and effects of transfusion on in-hospital mortality, length of stay (LOS), costs, discharge disposition, and complications of primary TKA patients. TKA patients between 2000 and 2009 were included (n = 4,544,999) and categorized as: (1) those who received a transfusion of allogenic blood, and (2) those who did not. Transfusion rates increased from 7.7% to 12.2%. For both transfused and not transfused groups, mortality rates and mean LOS declined, while total costs increased. Transfused patients were associated with adjusted odds ratios of in-hospital mortality (AOR 1.16; P = 0.184), 0.71 ± 0.01 days longer LOS (P < 0.0001), and incurred ($1777 ± 36; P < 0.0001) higher total costs per admission.
