The UOA after AKAS is more common in more complex surgery compared to less invasive surgery. This study showed that unplanned admission significantly associated with many factors-as patient factors, surgical invasiveness, and tourniquet time. However, tourniquet time is the only independent predictor for UOA. Therefore, strict perioperative management protocol must be applied in AKAS, and all patients having these risk factors should be prepared for UOA.
