^aDeep surgical site infection excluded patient who died or left the system within 1 year without deep SSI (1549, 3.3%), n = 45974 (96.7%)
^bSuperficial surgical site infection excluded patient who died or left the system within 30 days without superficial SSI (138, 0.3%), n = 47385 (99.7%)
^cDeep vein thrombosis (DVT) excluded patient who died or left the system within 90 days without DVT (376, 0.8%), n = 47147 (99.2%)
^dPulmonary embolism (PE) excluded patient who died or left the system within 90 days without PE (374, 0.8%), n = 47149 (99.2%)
^eReadmissions includes limited sample (operative years 2009–2012 and 3 geographical regions), n = 17179. Excluded patient who died or left the system within 90 days without readmission (85, 0.5%), final n = 17094 (99.5%)
^fThe median follow-up for revision outcome was 3.2 years (inter-quartile range, 1.4–5.8 years)
