Influence of Social Deprivation on Patient-Reported Outcomes in Foot and Ankle Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The impact of social health on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) is gaining increasing attention within the orthopaedic community. Few studies have explored any relationship between social deprivation levels and PROs in orthopaedic foot and ankle patients.

Methods

We retrospectively identified patients who presented to an orthopaedic foot and ankle clinic for new evaluation. Patients completed PROs including PROMIS physical function (PF), PROMIS pain interference (PI), and the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM). Social deprivation was measured using the Area Deprivation Index (ADI), a metric that incorporates various domains of poverty, education, housing, and employment. The ADI score quantifies the degree of social deprivation based on the 9-digit home zip cod
