Comparative analysis of patient-reported outcomes in joint arthroplasty surgeries.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aims to report and analyze disease-specific patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) effect size (ES) variations, in patients undergoing major arthroplasty surgery.

Material and methods

All institution-based data of primary knee, hip, or shoulder arthroplasty patients at Turku University hospital (Finland) between January 2020 -December 2022 were collected, and treatment outcome assessed as a PROM difference between baseline and one-year follow-up. PROM ES were calculated for each patient and patient group separately, and patients with ES >0.5, were considered responders. Factors contributing to patient outcome and differences between patient groups were investigated using linear models and non-parametric methods.

Results

2580 patients were operat
