Association Between Routine Patient-Reported Outcome Measure Utilization Among Total Joint Arthroplasty Surgeons and Clinically Meaningful Outcome Achievement.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) assess quality of care after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) and will be mandatory for reporting by 2027 under the Center for Medicare and Medicare Services. This study evaluated the impact of PROM utilization on achieving minimum clinically important differences (MCID), substantial clinical benefits (SCB), and patients' global impression of change (PGIC) in primary TJA patients.

Methods

The study included 7,441 primary TJA patients (4,458 THAs, 2,983 TKAs) who completed preoperative PROMs within 180 days before surgery and postoperative PROMs 270-450 days after surgery. Surgeons were categorized as PROM users or nonusers based on responses to a survey question about how often they referenced preoperative PROMs before recom
