Do clinical presentation and pre-operative quality of life predict satisfaction with care after total hip or knee replacement?

Abstract: We conducted a multicentre cohort study of 228 patients with osteoarthritis followed up after total hip or knee replacement. Quality of life and patient satisfaction were assessed by self-administered questionnaires. Patient satisfaction was the dependent variable in a multivariate linear regression model. Independent variables included sociodemographic factors, pre- and post-operative clinical characteristics and the pre-operative and post-discharge health-related quality of life. The mean age of the patients… Show more

“…However, in our study, these patients had lower function scores than those who did not require a preoperative local anesthetic hip arthrogram. Although we did not measure various aspects of the preoperative patient status, we suspect our findings could be attributable to their preoperative health-related quality of life, such as patient characteristics (clinical presentation) [4] and psychologic distress [12], which could have affected the functional outcome of the study group. It is possible that patients' expectations of pain relief and improved function after THA may be higher after an initial positive response to a local anesthetic arthrogram.…”

“…Estas discrepancias también pueden encontrarse en el concepto de calidad de vida, ya que este se encuentra influenciado por innumerables variables, como el entorno social y cultural donde creció y se desarrollócada persona o su estatus económico, entre los ítems más relevantes. 1,3,4,14,15 No obstante, se han diseñado y validado diferentes sistemas (WOMAC, SF-36, SF-12, VAS) para medir el impacto que encuentra el paciente luego de una intervención médica, en este caso, la artroplastia de cadera o de rodilla. Estas encuestas, por lo general, evalúan funciones físicas, como movilidad, cuidado de sí mismo y bienestar psicológico, y aspectos subjetivos, como dolor, cansancio, y actividad social, laboral, doméstica y recreativa.…”

“…no encontraron ninguna relación entre ambas situaciones luego de una artroplastia, es decir, aunque no sea razonable, el resultado final posoperatorio parecería ser independiente de la situación preoperatoria. 15 Los pacientes que deciden someterse a una artroplastia (sea de cadera o de rodilla), lo hacen con múltiples expectativas acerca del alivio del dolor, la mejoría funcional y la independencia física que esperan obtener. 2,9,17,18 En el caso de los reemplazos de rodilla, un estudio reciente evaluó las expectativas preoperatorias de 454 pacientes y encontró que los tres ítems más elegidos fueron el alivio del dolor, la capacidad para caminar y el bienestar psicológico.…”

“…36 Despite the overall success of hip replacement, studies have documented that 5% to 25% of patients who undergo this procedure report minimal improvement or dissatisfaction with their outcomes. 14,[16][17][18][37][38][39][40][41][42][43] In hip resurfacing, the femoral head is left in place but trimmed and capped with a metal covering. The damaged acetabulum cartilage is removed and replaced with a metal shell, similar to a traditional hip replacement.…”
