“…It has been reported that patients with hypoalbuminemia have a 5.94-fold and 3.19-fold increased risk of mortality after THA and TKA, respectively, and a recent meta-analysis of 29 studies concluded a 93% increase in all-cause complications 88,89 . Although there has been much more focus on nutrition status in THA and TKA, recent studies in total shoulder arthroplasty demonstrate an 18.1-times greater odds of mortality 11,17,23,90-94 .…”

» Identification of malnourished and at-risk patients should be a standardized part of the preoperative evaluation process for every patient.» Malnourishment is defined as a disorder of energy, protein, and nutrients based on the presence of insufficient energy intake, weight loss, muscle atrophy, loss of subcutaneous fat, localized or generalized fluid accumulation, or diminished functional status.» Malnutrition has been associated with worse outcomes postoperatively across a variety of orthopaedic procedures because malnourished patients do not have a robust metabolic reserve available for recovery after surgery.» Screening assessment and basic laboratory studies may indicate patients' nutritional risk; however, laboratory values are often not specific for malnutrition, necessitating the use of prognostic screening tools.» Nutrition consultation and perioperative supplementation with amino acids and micronutrients are 2 readily available interventions that orthopaedic surgeons can select for malnourished patients.
