Summary
This explorative post hoc analysis included patients randomized in the DEX-2-TKA trial
(NCT03506789) who were operated under general anesthesia with remifentanil and propofol.
Patients having general anesthesia with sevoflurane were excluded. As the two groups
receiving preoperative dexamethasone were identical at the time of outcome assessment, they
were merged to one and were compared with placebo.
