Intraoperative blood loss and haemoglobin drop in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip in Jordan undergoing total hip arthroplasty.

Haemoglobin drop and blood loss in patients with dysplastic coxarthrosis were linked to increased preoperative BMI. Use of preoperative anxiolytics, and being non-smoker decreased the length of hospital stays. General anaesthesia was associated with more haemoglobin drop as well.
