Method This study selected patients undergoing THA/TKA aged >18 years who were hospitalized in Anqing First People’s Hospital of Anhui Medical University. A total of 400 patients and 100 healthy subjects were finally included. Based on the results of 90-day follow-up data were included in the complication group, otherwise, they were classified as the no complications group. The demographic and clinical data of the two groups were compared, and the clinical characteristics and risk factors of local complications within 90 days of TKA/THA were evaluated. Results FABP4 concentration (odds ratio (OR)=1.521 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.190–1.944, P =0.001), ASA class (OR=0.064 95% CI=0.005–0.811, P =0.034) and estimated intraoperative blood loss (OR=1.070, 95% CI=1.008–1.135, P=0.027) were found to be predictors of 90-Day Local Complications. Conclusions Higher FABP4 concentration is very common in patients with adverse events occurring locally within the 90 days of TKA/THA and the prevalence of adverse events occurring locally within the 90 days of TKA/THA was higher in patients combined with higher FABP4 concentration, higher ASA class or EIBL. FABP4 concentration, ASA class and EIBL are risk factors for the development of adverse events occurring locally within the 90 days of TKA/THA, but validation in larger sample studies is still needed. 90-day local complications TKA THA FABP4 concentration ASA class Osteoarthritis Figures Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Introduction Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent joint disorder that predominantly afflicts the elderly, impacting millions of individuals globally. By 2020, OA had ascended to become the fourth leading cause of disability in humans[ 1 ]. The pathological features of OA include the deterioration of joint cartilage and restructuring of subchondral bone, leading to symptoms like joint inflammation, pain, and decreased joint functionality[ 2 ]. The knee and hip joints are primarily affected by OA, with lesser occurrences in the elbow, wrist, shoulder (glenohumeral joint), and ankle joints. Treatment options for OA are currently limited, mainly centered on symptom management. Total hip or knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA) stands out as an effective intervention for managing advanced hip or knee OA[ 3 , 4 ].Overall, THA and TKA show good long-term results, but the recovery process can take weeks to months. Complications may occur during and after arthroplasty, including anaesthesia-related risks, worsening of concomitant disease, adverse drug reactions and allergies, and complications specific to arthroplasty. Fatty Acid Binding Protein (FABP aP2), also referred to as FABP4, is a key fat-related factor predominantly expressed in adipocytes and macrophages[ 5 ]. FABP4 functions as a lipid escort, facilitating the transportation of lipids to specific cellular regions. Previous research indicates that elevated concentrations of FABP4 in the body are linked to conditions such as obesity and metabolic disorders[ 6 – 10 ]. These include type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, and coronary heart disease. Furthermore, studies have demonstrated that administering FABP4 inhibitors to mice in animal trials can effectively reduce the risk of joint stiffness. In summary, variations in the concentration levels of FABP4 in the body may play a significant role in OA disease. However, to date, there is a lack of literature investigating the relationship between FABP4 levels and the postoperative prognosis of OA patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgeries. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the potential association between FABP4 concentration levels and outcomes following TKA/THA procedures. Our research involves recruiting OA patients who have undergone TKA/THA surgeries as well as healthy individuals for comparison, measuring FABP4 levels in their plasma, and conducting a 90-day postoperative follow-up to assess any complications or adverse events. Materials and methods Participants and collection of blood We enrolled a cohort of 400 patients who underwent TKA or THA surgeries at our hospital between January 2020 and January 2024, along with 100 healthy participants matched during the same period. This study has been approved by our hospital's ethics committee, and all participants have provided signed informed consent. Participants under the age of 18 will be excluded. Additionally, patients with underlying conditions such as liver or kidney diseases, cancer, or incomplete information will also be excluded from the study. To maintain uniformity in assessing patient outcomes, only patients treated by surgeons conducting over 30 procedures per year will be included in the study. We collect patients' basic information and laboratory test results from their medical records during hospitalization, while data for the 90-day follow-up period are retrieved from the outpatient medical records system. We use EDTA anticoagulant tubes to collect fasting venous blood from patients, separate the plasma using a low-temperature centrifugation method, and store it in a -80°C freezer for future use. Determination of FABP4 We will dilute the plasma 20 times and use an ELISA kit to detect the plasma concentration of FABP4. Outcome Assessment As in the previous study, the primary outcome (locally within the 90 days) was defined as any of the following: reoperation, readmission, venous thromboembolism, pulmonary embolism, blood transfusion, peripheral nerve injury, and surgical site infection. Statistical analyses We will conduct statistical analysis using IBM SPSS Statistics 26.0. For quantitative parameters, we will report the mean ± standard deviation and use the Student's t-test or the Mann-Whitney nonparametric test to compare differences between groups. Qualitative parameters will be reported in percentage form and compared using the chi-square test. Multiple regression analysis will be performed to determine the risk factors for locally within the 90 days after THA/TKA surgery. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis will be used to determine the sensitivity, specificity, area under the curve (AUC), and risk factors for locally within the 90 days after THA/TKA surgery. A p-value less than 0.05 will be considered statistically significant. Results Plasma FABP4 was closely associated with OA After an initial screening of 454 patients with OA and 100 healthy subjects, a total of 400 patients were included in the analysis following exclusions, as depicted in Fig. 1 . Based on their plasma FABP4 concentrations, the patients were categorized into a low expression group, consisting of 265 patients, and a high expression group, consisting of 135 patients. Within the primary cohort, 24 patients (6.0%) experienced at least one locally within the 90 days. Elevated plasma FABP4 concentrations were observed in OA patients compared to healthy subjects (20.5 ± 9.8 ng/ml vs. 12.2 ± 3.1 ng/ml, p < 0.001), as demonstrated in Fig. 2 Clinical significance of FABP4 in OA patients In order to further investigate the clinical relevance of FABP4 in OA, the correlation between FABP4 levels and clinicopathological characteristics was examined. Patients were categorized into two groups according to their plasma FABP4 levels. It was observed that low FABP4 expression was significantly associated with BMI (P = 0.001). No significant correlations were found between FABP4 and other clinicopathological variables, including gender, age, white blood cell count, neutrophil count, mononuclear leucocyte count, D-dimer levels, C-reactive protein levels, total cholesterol levels, triglyceride levels, and the presence of complications (Table 1 ).

Discussion TKA or THA can significantly improve patients' quality of life and restore joint function[ 11 ]. The long-term efficacy of joint prostheses can reach up to 90% over 15 years. Due to its cost-effectiveness, TKA and THA procedures have seen an increasing trend annually, becoming the gold standard treatment for end-stage severe osteoarthritis[ 12 ]. However, the first 90 days post-surgery are a high-risk period for complications such as postoperative infections and peripheral neuritis. These unexpected complications can prolong hospital stays, increase healthcare costs, and in severe cases, impact patients' postoperative recovery, leading to disability or death[ 13 , 14 ]. Therefore, controlling the occurrence of postoperative complications is crucial for evaluating postoperative outcomes and the quality of care. This study aims to explore the potential impact of a novel adipokine, FABP4, on the prognosis after TKA or THA. The research findings indicate that the concentration levels of FABP4 in the body are associated with the incidence of postoperative complications. FABP4 is a protein widely expressed in adipocytes and macrophages, first discovered in adipose tissue and mature fat cells in the 1980s. As a key regulator of lipid metabolism, FABP4 plays a crucial role in the body's metabolic processes. Its main functions include regulating lipid metabolism and inflammatory responses, which significantly influence the transport and utilization of fatty acids in the body. Studies have shown that elevated levels of FABP4 may be associated with an increased risk of metabolic diseases such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and atherosclerosis. Experimental evidence indicates that the FABP4 molecule directly impacts various cell types, including hepatocytes, macrophages, cardiomyocytes, vascular endothelial cells, and vascular smooth muscle cells. Despite some advances in research, the specific mechanisms of action of FABP4 and its potential receptors remain areas for further exploration. Therefore, FABP4 may play a crucial regulatory role in disease development, either by indirectly exacerbating traditional risk factors or by directly interfering with the metabolic processes in patients, leading to potential increased risks. Further studies on the mechanisms of action of FABP4 and its specific roles in metabolic diseases will contribute to a deeper understanding of its potential pathophysiological functions. In this study, the researchers discovered that the levels of FABP4 concentration within the body, ASA classification, and intraoperative EIBL were linked to the occurrence of early postoperative complications in patients undergoing TKA and THA. Despite the data originating solely from patients at a single medical facility, the varied sources of patients and the adequate sample size ensured the representation and applicability of the study outcomes. By utilizing multivariate logistic analysis, the researchers isolated FABP4 concentration, ASA classification, and EIBL as autonomous prognostic elements. When compared to the approach of single-variable analysis for selecting forecasting elements, the multivariate analysis not only outperforms but also integrates these elements to more precisely forecast the likelihood of postoperative complications. These results align with prior investigations and deepen our comprehension of how these prognostic factors contribute to postoperative complications[ 13 , 14 ]. Based on our knowledge, we are the first to investigate the correlation between intra-body concentration levels of FABP4 and postoperative complications following TKA or THA surgeries. However, we must acknowledge that the study has certain limitations. Firstly, since we only included Chinese patients, the generalizability to other ethnic groups remains to be validated. Secondly, despite adhering to predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, the retrospective nature of the study may introduce some degree of selection bias. Lastly, the TKA/THA surgeries in our study were performed by multiple different surgeons, potentially leading to variations in surgical techniques. To enhance the reliability of our findings, we are actively expanding our recruitment scope to cover diverse geographical regions and clinical settings, and considering incorporating additional variables for future analyses. Conclusion Higher FABP4 concentration is very common in patients with adverse events occurring locally within the 90 days of TKA/THA and the prevalence of adverse events occurring locally within the 90 days of TKA/THA was higher in patients combined with higher FABP4 concentration, higher ASA class or EIBL. FABP4 concentration, ASA class and EIBL are risk factors for the development of adverse events occurring locally within the 90 days of TKA/THA, but validation in larger sample studies is still needed.

individuals globally. By 2020, OA had ascended to become the fourth leading cause of disability in humans[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR1\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e]. The pathological features of OA include the deterioration of joint cartilage and restructuring of subchondral bone, leading to symptoms like joint inflammation, pain, and decreased joint functionality[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e]. The knee and hip joints are primarily affected by OA, with lesser occurrences in the elbow, wrist, shoulder (glenohumeral joint), and ankle joints. Treatment options for OA are currently limited, mainly centered on symptom management. Total hip or knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA) stands out as an effective intervention for managing advanced hip or knee OA[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR4\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e].Overall, THA and TKA show good long-term results, but the recovery process can take weeks to months. Complications may occur during and after arthroplasty, including anaesthesia-related risks, worsening of concomitant disease, adverse drug reactions and allergies, and complications specific to arthroplasty.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFatty Acid Binding Protein (FABP aP2), also referred to as FABP4, is a key fat-related factor predominantly expressed in adipocytes and macrophages[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR5\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e5\u003c/span\u003e]. FABP4 functions as a lipid escort, facilitating the transportation of lipids to specific cellular regions. Previous research indicates that elevated concentrations of FABP4 in the body are linked to conditions such as obesity and metabolic disorders[\u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR7 CR8 CR9\" citationid=\"CR6\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e6\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR10\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e10\u003c/span\u003e]. These include type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, and coronary heart disease. Furthermore, studies have demonstrated that administering FABP4 inhibitors to mice in animal trials can effectively reduce the risk of joint stiffness.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn summary, variations in the concentration levels of FABP4 in the body may play a significant role in OA disease. However, to date, there is a lack of literature investigating the relationship between FABP4 levels and the postoperative prognosis of OA patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgeries. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the potential association between FABP4 concentration levels and outcomes following TKA/THA procedures. Our research involves recruiting OA patients who have undergone TKA/THA surgeries as well as healthy individuals for comparison, measuring FABP4 levels in their plasma, and conducting a 90-day postoperative follow-up to assess any complications or adverse events.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Materials and methods","content":"\u003cdiv id=\"Sec3\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003eParticipants and collection of blood\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003e We enrolled a cohort of 400 patients who underwent TKA or THA surgeries at our hospital between January 2020 and January 2024, along with 100 healthy participants matched during the same period.

The long-term efficacy of joint prostheses can reach up to 90% over 15 years.

However, the first 90 days post-surgery are a high-risk period for complications such as postoperative infections and peripheral neuritis. These unexpected complications can prolong hospital stays, increase healthcare costs, and in severe cases, impact patients' postoperative recovery, leading to disability or death[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR13\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e13\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR14\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e14\u003c/span\u003e]. Therefore, controlling the occurrence of postoperative complications is crucial for evaluating postoperative outcomes and the quality of care. This study aims to explore the potential impact of a novel adipokine, FABP4, on the prognosis after TKA or THA. The research findings indicate that the concentration levels of FABP4 in the body are associated with the incidence of postoperative complications.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFABP4 is a protein widely expressed in adipocytes and macrophages, first discovered in adipose tissue and mature fat cells in the 1980s. As a key regulator of lipid metabolism, FABP4 plays a crucial role in the body's metabolic processes. Its main functions include regulating lipid metabolism and inflammatory responses, which significantly influence the transport and utilization of fatty acids in the body. Studies have shown that elevated levels of FABP4 may be associated with an increased risk of metabolic diseases such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and atherosclerosis. Experimental evidence indicates that the FABP4 molecule directly impacts various cell types, including hepatocytes, macrophages, cardiomyocytes, vascular endothelial cells, and vascular smooth muscle cells. Despite some advances in research, the specific mechanisms of action of FABP4 and its potential receptors remain areas for further exploration. Therefore, FABP4 may play a crucial regulatory role in disease development, either by indirectly exacerbating traditional risk factors or by directly interfering with the metabolic processes in patients, leading to potential increased risks. Further studies on the mechanisms of action of FABP4 and its specific roles in metabolic diseases will contribute to a deeper understanding of its potential pathophysiological functions.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this study, the researchers discovered that the levels of FABP4 concentration within the body, ASA classification, and intraoperative EIBL were linked to the occurrence of early postoperative complications in patients undergoing TKA and THA. Despite the data originating solely from patients at a single medical facility, the varied sources of patients and the adequate sample size ensured the representation and applicability of the study outcomes. By utilizing multivariate logistic analysis, the researchers isolated FABP4 concentration, ASA classification, and EIBL as autonomous prognostic elements. When compared to the approach of single-variable analysis for selecting forecasting elements, the multivariate analysis not only outperforms but also integrates these elements to more precisely forecast the likelihood of postoperative complications. These results align with prior investigations and deepen our comprehension of how these prognostic factors contribute to postoperative complications[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR13\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e13\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR14\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e14\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBased on our knowledge, we are the first to investigate the correlation between intra-body concentration levels of FABP4 and postoperative complications following TKA or THA surgeries. However, we must acknowledge that the study has certain limitations. Firstly, since we only included Chinese patients, the generalizability to other ethnic groups remains to be validated. Secondly, despite adhering to predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, the retrospective nature of the study may introduce some degree of selection bias.
