Article Synopsis
- Socioeconomic status (SES) strongly influences surgical outcomes in orthopaedic procedures like total knee and hip arthroplasties, particularly affecting patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).
- A systematic review analyzed 16 studies, covering over 55,000 surgeries, finding significant links between lower income and education levels with worse postoperative PROMs.
- Unemployment also correlated with lower recovery improvements, emphasizing the need for addressing SES factors in surgical care and outcomes.
