Overview

Randomized trial assesses SES correlation with psychological readiness and stress after ACL reconstruction, suggesting impacts on recovery.

Key Points

  • This study aims to explore how socioeconomic factors influence psychological stress and readiness following ACL reconstruction.
  • Patients undergoing ACL reconstruction were enrolled and assessed with various psychological and functional scales.
  • Socioeconomic factors analyzed included income, insurance type, and deprivation indices.
  • Regression modeling examined associations between SES characteristics and patient-reported outcomes after surgery.
  • A 6% increase in time from injury to surgery was observed for each 10 unit increase in area deprivation index (p=0.03).
  • Public insurance led to a 20% increase in time from injury to surgery (p=0.04).
  • Females exhibited 4.8-point higher psychological stress scores compared to males (β=4.8; SE=1.03; p<0.001).
