Objectives
Narrative objectives1
In knee or hip arthroplasty(TKA THA), severe pain often necessitates high doses of opioids, which frequently cause nausea and vomiting. These symptoms not only reduce quality of life but also interfere with rehabilitation and increase the use of medical resources. Reducing opioid use to avoid side effects can lead to inadequate pain control, further delaying rehabilitation. Since many patients are elderly, prolonged bed rest can cause complications such as disuse syndrome, cognitive decline, and pulmonary embolism, negatively affecting prognosis.
Olanzapine, an atypical antipsychotic with antiemetic effects through multiple receptor antagonism, has shown effectiveness against opioid- and chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. While its efficacy has been demonstrated in younger women undergoing gynecologic surgery, it has not been studied in the elderly population typical of knee arthroplasty. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of olanzapine in preventing nausea and vomiting in elderly patients undergoing total arthroplasty.

Assessment
Primary outcomes
Incidence and frequency of nausea and vomiting, administration of rescue anti-emetics within 6-hrs, 6-12 hrs and 12-24hrs after the surgery
Key secondary outcomes
Food intake status on the morning and afternoon after surgery; frequency of use of analgesics outside of the clinical pathway; pain NRS (Numerical Rating Scale) scores; RASS (Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale) score on the morning after surgery; wheelchair transfer assistance score on the day after surgery (as an indicator of rehabilitation progress); patient satisfaction; adverse events and their frequency.

Results
In the initially planned cohort of 30 patients, no statistically significant difference was observed in the primary endpoint, defined as the occurrence of at least one episode of nausea or vomiting, with an odds ratio of 1.29 (95% CI, 0.20-8.85).
Similarly, no significant differences were detected in the secondary endpoints.

Adverse events
Administration of olanzapine at a dose of 2.5mg was associated with a trend toward fewer adverse events in the olanzapine group (odds ratio, 0.243; 95% CI, 0.030-1.48).

An interim analysis of 30 patients was conducted on September 5, 2025. No statistically significant difference was observed in the primary endpoint, defined as the occurrence of at least one episode of nausea or vomiting, with an odds ratio of 1.29 (95% CI, 0.20-8.85).
Similarly, no significant differences were found in the secondary endpoints.
However, as the incidence of adverse events tended to be lower in the olanzapine group (odds ratio, 0.243; 95% CI, 0.030-1.48), approval was obtained from the ethics committee to increase the olanzapine dose to 5.0 mg and to conduct a subsequent re-evaluation.
