Electronic Patient-Reported Outcome Monitoring to Improve Quality of Life After Joint Replacement: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Although remote patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) monitoring has shown promising results in cancer care, there is a lack of research on PROM monitoring in orthopedics.

Objective

To determine whether PROM monitoring can improve health outcomes for patients with joint replacement compared with the standard of care.

Design, setting, and participants

A 2-group, patient-level randomized clinical trial (PROMoting Quality) across 9 German hospitals recruited patients aged 18 years or older with primary hip or knee replacement from October 1, 2019, to December 31, 2020, with follow-up until March 31, 2022.

Interventions

Intervention and control groups received the standard of care and PROMs at hospital admission, discharge, and 12 months after surgery.
