Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how socioeconomic status affects patients' health outcomes (PROMIS-GH scores) before and after total knee surgeries (TKA), specifically predicting that those in more deprived situations would report worse outcomes.
- The researchers analyzed data from 257 patients before surgery and tracked changes at 3 months and 1 year after, using a measure of social deprivation calculated from their zip codes.
- While the most disadvantaged patients showed lower mental and physical health scores, both groups improved physically after surgery, but the disadvantaged group still had lower overall health scores 1 year later, highlighting the need to consider social factors in health assessments.
Background: Clinical outcomes following primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) are commonly assessed through patient-reported outcome measures (PROM). The purpose of this study was to use progressively more stringent definitions of success to evaluate clinical outcomes of primary THA at 1-year postoperatively and to determine if demographic variables were associated with achievement of clinical success.
Methods: The American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR) was queried from 2012-2020 for primary THA.
