2.1 Ethical review
The clinical data of HA patients who underwent TKA in the Orthopedic Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medicine University from January 2015 to October 2020 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. This study was approved by the Ethics Review Committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medicine University and obtained the unique identification number of research registration (research registration number is 2020047). Each patient signed a written informed consent form.
2.1 Inclusion and exclusion criteria
The inclusion criteria include: ① A clear history of hemophilia A and the knee joint lesions meet the "Improved Arnold-Hilgartner Classification of Joint Lesions" Class IV diagnostic criteria[7].② One-stage unilateral total knee arthroplasty was performed in the Orthopedic Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medicine University.
Exclusion criteria include ① Lack of information such as height, weight, etc. ② With Other diseases such as AIDS, tumor, etc. ③ Postoperative complications such as infection and nerve and blood vessel injury occurred. ④ The positive inhibitors and/or Classical IVR of coagulation factorVIII is less than 66%.
2.2 Operation method
All the operations were performed by the same team in our center, and all patients were given general anesthesia and a tourniquet for the whole process. We adopted standardized methods: the median knee approach, with the incision length ranging from 10cm to 15cm, opened the patella, separated the soft tissue layer by layer, opened the joint cavity, exposed the femoral end and tibial plateau, and deployed the prosthesis sample to determine the suitable prosthesis model. All the prostheses used were surface prostheses provided by Zimmer Biomet® and then fixed with bone cement. It can be divided into two groups according to whether or not TXA was injected into the joint cavity during the operation. Before the tourniquet was released, TXA solution consisting of 1gTXA and 50ml normal saline was injected into the joint cavity in the user group, and then the joint cavity was closed. Without TXA, the joint cavity was closed directly.No drainage tube was placed in all patients during the operation.
2.3 Perioperative management
After admission, the level of FVIII was measured for the patients, then 2500 international units (IU) of recombinant human coagulation factorVIII was injected into the patients experimentally, and 2500IU was divided by the bodyweight to obtain the infusion dose per kilogram of body weight (iu·kg-1). Re-measure the level of coagulation factors in patients at 1 hour, 2 hours, and 8 hours after injection to obtain the peak level and valley level of coagulation factors, according to the calculation formula: Classical IVR[8]=[ the increase of actual coagulation factor (%or iu·dl-1/the increase of expected coagulation factor (%or iu·dl-1] × 100%, and calculate the Classical IVR. The expected increase of coagulation factor (%or iu·dl-1)= infusion dose per kilogram of body weight (iu·kg-1)× 2 (iu·dl-1/iu·kg-1). The Classical IVR was used as the basis of perioperative infusion dose of coagulation factors. According to the Expert Consensus on Perioperative Management of Hemophilia Orthopaedic Surgery in China[9]and Management Guide for Hemophilia[4], the FVIII level should be kept at 80%-100% on the operation day, 60%-80% on 1-3 days after the operation, 40%-60% on 4-6 days after the operation and 30%-50% on 7-14 days after the operation. Bayer Health Care LLC® provided recombinant human coagulation factorVIII for all patients during hospitalization. All patients had no autologous blood transfusion. If the patient has HB<70g/L or HCT<25%, it is considered as an indication that allogeneic blood transfusion is needed[10].
Patients had routine preoperative X-ray films of the anteroposterior position of the knee joint and full-length standing position of lower limbs, and Arnold-Higartner arthrosis classification was performed by the same professional radiologist[11]. Assess the patients according to the standard to determine the indications of total knee arthroplasty. Routine preparation before the operation also includes CT and MRI examination of the knee joint, routine ECG examination, B-ultrasound examination, lung function examination, liver and kidney function examination.
Cephalosporins antibiotics were routinely used to prevent infection 1 day before operation and 3 days after operation. On the first day after the operation, ice packs were applied around the knee joint for 24 hours to reduce postoperative bleeding. Because of the particularity of hemophilia patients, we use intermittent lower limb pneumatic pumps to prevent Venous thromboembolism(VTE) of lower limbs instead of anticoagulants. From the second day after the operation, the same rehabilitation team in the center will perform postoperative rehabilitation training for patients, including passive and active knee joint movements, plantar flexion and extension movements, getting out of bed, and walking with walking auxiliary equipment.
2.4 Data collection
From January 2015 to October 2020, 92 cases were included in the study. The recorded data included: gender, age, height, weight, preoperative Hematocrit (HCT), preoperative hemoglobin (HB), postoperative HCT, postoperative HB, FVIII peak level, FVIII valley level, TXA, FVIII prophylaxis , operation duration, intraoperative bleeding, blood transfusion.
2.5 Quantitative and variable calculation methods
Gender, height, age, weight, HCT, HB, operation time,and FVIII peak level on the operation day were obtained directly from the medical records, in which the data of HCT and HB before operation were taken within 2 days before the operation, and those after the operation were taken at around 7 o'clock in the morning.
The preoperative BMI was calculated, BMI = weight (kg)/ height( m)2.
The level of FVIII valley is the level of FVIII measured after admission, and the peak level of FVIII is the level measured 1 hour after experimental infusion of FVIII. The Classical IVR is calculated according to the above formula, and the incremental IVR (IU·DL-1/IU·kg-1)= [FVIII peak level (%or IU·DL-1-baseline FVIII level (%or IU·DL-1)]/[infusion dose (IU·kg-1)].
There are multiple time measurement points for postoperative HCT. Compare the HCT values of multiple time measurement points, take the lowest value as postoperative HCT, and use the Gross equation formula perfected by Gross.J B to calculate[12]. Gross equation specific calculation method: total blood loss = preoperative blood volume (PBV)× (preoperative HCT- postoperative HCT)/ (preoperative HCT+ postoperative HCT)×2. PBV=kl×height(m)^3+k2×weight(kg) +k3.(male kl=0.3669, k2=0.03219, k3=0.6041; Female kl=0.3561, k2=0.03308, k3=0.1833). According to Sehat equation[13], Subtract the intraoperative blood loss from the total blood loss to get the hidden blood loss.
According to the operation records, the usage of TXA was obtained, including ① intra-articular infusion of 1gTXA+50ml normal saline; ② TXA is not used.
According to medical records or telephone follow-up, the FVIII prophylaxis of FVIII was obtained, including ① irregular FVIII prophylaxis of FVIII in the past year; ②In recent one year, there was a low dose regimen for prevention and treatment: 10IU/kg per dose, which was given to hemophilia A patients twice times a week; ③ In recent one year, there was a middle dose regimen for prevention and treatment: 15~30 IU/kg per dose, which was given to hemophilia A patients three times a week; ④ In recent one year, there were high-dose FVIII prophylaxis s: 25~40 IU/kg per dose, which was given to hemophilia A patients three times a week.
According to the medical records, Infection with hepatitis B virus(HBV) was obtained, including ① No Infection with HBV ; ② Infection with HBV.
2.6 Multivariate linear regression analysis
Describe the statistical results, in which the continuous variables are shown as means±standard deviation; Classification is shown as a percentage. Continuity variables can be directly used as dependent variables of multi-factor linear regression analysis, and classified variables are assigned by numerical values: see Table 1 for specific treatment of variables. There are 19 factors as independent variables, Multi-factor linear regression analysis was carried out with the hidden blood loss after the operation as the dependent variable.
