Effects of Hospital and Surgeon Volume on Patient Outcomes After Total Joint Arthroplasty: Reported From the American Joint Replacement Registry

Ahmed Siddiqi et al.

Summary: Low surgeon and hospital volume are associated with higher complications during primary total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty, highlighting the importance of directing surgeries to high-volume centers and surgeons.

The Impact of Surgeon Variability on Patient-Reported Outcomes in Total Hip Arthroplasty

SaTia T. Sinclair et al.

Summary: Surgeon variability has a significant impact on the outcomes of total hip arthroplasty, including patient-reported outcome measures, length of stay, discharge disposition, and readmission rate. Surgeon-level variability appears to be a greater contributor to 1-year patient-reported outcome measures than some patient-level characteristics.

Which patients improve most after total hip arthroplasty? Influence of patient characteristics on patient-reported outcome measures of 22,357 total hip arthroplasties in the Dutch Arthroplasty Register

Rinne M. Peters et al.

Summary: A study in the Netherlands found that patients who were younger, female, had a high ASA score or BMI over 30, and did not have previous hip surgeries, benefited the most in terms of self-reported physical function, pain relief, and quality of life after primary total hip arthroplasty.

Is the Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System Feasible in Bundled Payment for Care Improvement Total Knee Arthroplasty Patients?

Charles M. Lawrie et al.

Summary: This study investigated the feasibility and responsiveness of PROMIS in total knee arthroplasty patients. It was found that PROMIS is feasible and time-efficient in BPCI patients undergoing primary TKA. There were no significant differences in outcomes between BPCI and non-BPCI knees.

Preoperative Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Global Health Scores Predict Patients Achieving the Minimal Clinically Important Difference in the Early Postoperative Time Period After Total Knee Arthroplasty

Brian Darrith et al.

Summary: This study found that preoperative KOOS-JR and PROMIS-PH scores can predict clinically meaningful improvement after TKA, with KOOS-JR showing greater prognostic utility in the early postoperative period.
