Table 2 Results for each patient’s group, n (%)

Measurement period	2007 to June 15, 2019	After June 15, 2019	P value (two-tailed z test)
Total number of hemiarthroplasty cases	1517	937
Number of cemented stem cases	1086 (71.58)	692 (73.8)	P = 0.2; z = -1.2 at a 95% confidence interval
Number of active smokers at the time of HA surgery	62 (4.09)	46 (4.9)	P = 0.33; z = -0.96 at a 95% confidence interval
Number of early PJI cases in the first 12 weeks	19 (1.25)	14 (1.49)	P = 0.6; z = -0.5 at a 95% confidence interval

The dose was routinely adjusted for renal function based on guidelines for surgical thromboprophylaxis. Adherence to the prescribed protocol was confirmed via review of the electronic medication administration record. HA: Hip hemiarthroplasty; PJI: Prosthetic joint infection.
