Overview
Brief Summary
Aim of these study is to create an algorithm, using data from patients that undergoing total hip arthroplasty, to predict blood loss after surgery and permit a safe domestic discharge.
Detailed Description
Two different cohorts of patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty will be analyzed to obtain data about hemoglobin trends. The first group will be used to obtain the algorithm, the second one to validate results of the first group, determining sensitivity and specificity.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Create an algorithm to predict blood loss after total hip arthroplasty
Time Frame: 3 months
Data from the fist cohort of patients have been collected and analyzed to obtain an algorithm describing the trends of hemoglobin values after total hip arthroplasty. These algorithm was after applied to patients of a second cohort of consecutive patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty to determine specificity and sensitivity.
