  1. Study characteristics were collected for each included study, including publication year, country of origin, and data source. Unilateral procedures were distinguished from bilateral procedures when possible and the period of follow-up post-operatively specified. The range of data set encompasses the period in which included arthroplasty procedures were performed, and the specific cardiac complication studied was also included. CA cardiac arrest, MI myocardial infarction, CPR cardiopulmonary resuscitation, BMI body mass index, N/R not reported, NSQIP National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database, NIS Nationwide Inpatient Sample, CAD coronary artery disease, COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, CVA cerebrovascular disease, I/H in-hospital follow up (prior to discharge). γ = This is the only single cohort study that examined THA; the remainder of single cohort studies consisted of TKA
