TABLE Cumulative 1-year and 3-year revision percentage of primary total knee arthroplasties by type of revision in the Netherlands in 2013-2017 (n=120,845)

	Cumulative 1-year revision percentage		Cumulative 3-year revision percentage
	Competing Risk (95% CI)	Kaplan Meier (95% CI)	Competing Risk (95% CI)	Kaplan Meier (95% CI)
Any type of revision¹	1.1 (1.0-1.2)	1.0 (0.9-1.1)	3.5 (3.4-3.6)	3.5 (3.4-3.6)
Major revision²	0.4 (0.4-0.5)	0.4 (0.3-0.4)	1.5 (1.5-1.6)	1.5 (1.5-1.6)
Minor revision³	0.7 (0.6-0.7)	0.6 (0.6-0.7)	1.9 (1.8-2.0)	1.9 (1.8-1.9)

¹ Any type of revision includes minor and major revisions as well as revision procedures that could not be classified as minor or major revision.
² Revision of at least the femur or tibia component.
³ Only insert and/or patella exchange (including patella addition).
CI: confidence interval.

In 2013-2017, 3,687 (3.1%) primary TKAs were implanted in patients who died within three years after the primary procedure.

FIGURE Funnel plot of proportion of knee revision arthroplasties within three years after a total knee arthroplasty per hospital in the Netherlands in 2013-2017 (n=120,301)

Please note: The proportion of revisions within 3 years per hospital were adjusted for casemix factors age, gender, ASA score and diagnosis (osteoarthritis versus other).
TKA: total knee arthroplasty; CL: control limits; CI: confidence interval.

The mean 3-years revision percentage is 3.5 (95% CI: 3.4-3.6 ) in the Netherlands in 2013-2017.
Control limits indicate the plausible range of outcome if all hospitals perform equally well.

FIGURE Funnel plot of proportion of knee major revision arthroplasties within three years after a total knee arthroplasty per hospital in the Netherlands in 2013-2017 (n=120,301)

Please note: Major revision is defined as revision of at least femur or tibia component.
Please note: The proportion of revisions within 3 years per hospital were adjusted for casemix factors age, gender, ASA score and diagnosis (osteoarthritis versus other).
TKA: total knee arthroplasty; CL: control limits; CI: confidence interval.

The mean 3-years major revision percentage is 1.5 (95% CI: 1.5-1.6) in the Netherlands in 2013-2017.
Control limits indicate the plausible range of outcome if all hospitals perform equally well.

¹ Revision of at least the femur or tibia component.
² Only insert and/or patella exchange (including patella addition).
³ Any type of revision includes minor and major revisions as well as revision procedures that could not be classified as minor or major revision.
4 One patient may have more than one reason for revision or re-surgery. As such, the total proportion is over 100%.
