Objective: Prehabilitation may have benefits for total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA), given an aging population with multimorbidity and the growth of value-based programs that focus on reducing postoperative costs. We aimed to describe prehabilitation use and examine predictors of utilization in fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study using the Medicare Limited Data Set included fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries who were ≥ 66 years old and who underwent inpatient elective THA or TKA between January 1, 2016, and September 30, 2021.
Introduction: Previous research has indicated language-based disparities in outcomes after total hip and knee arthroplasty. In this study, we examined the relationship between primary spoken language and outcomes and patient engagement process metrics in a multihospital academic health system.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent elective primary total hip or knee arthroplasty in 2018 to 2022.
Article Synopsis
- Mental operations, like evaluating options, require significant attentional effort, and determining the right amount of effort is essential for maximizing rewards without excessive cost.
- A study involving macaques explored choices and brain activity, linking local reward rates to improved decision-making accuracy and increased attentional effort, as shown by physiological indicators like pupil size.
- Findings indicated that higher reward rates not only enhanced the clarity of value coding in specific brain regions (ventral striatum and orbitofrontal cortex) but also suggested that attentional effort operates via distinct population codes for value, contributing to the understanding of rational inattention in economic decisions.
