¹t test;

²Chi-square test;

³Wilcoxon rank-sum test.

Preoperative patient characteristics for 414 total hip replacement procedures between March 1, 2017 and August 31, 2019. Results are presented as number (percentage) of patients, or as mean ± SD. The P values were obtained from chi-square tests, t-tests, or Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, as indicated. EBL: Estimated blood loss; ASA: American Society of Anesthesiologists.
