Article Synopsis
- - The study explored patient attitudes towards day-case hip and knee surgeries, aiming to identify the characteristics that influence these attitudes and improve the information provided by surgeons during consultations.
- - Out of 5,322 patients surveyed, 41.8% showed interest in day-case surgery while 37.5% were not interested; factors like age, sex, and mental health conditions such as anxiety/depression played a role in influencing their attitudes.
- - A significant portion of those initially uncertain about day-case surgery changed their attitude by their next surgical procedure, indicating that experiences and information can impact patient preferences.
