Why the study?
Physical function and pain outcomes vary after arthroplasty, prompting investigation into postoperative PROMIS physical function and pain interference scores and preoperative predictors after TKA and THA.
What are the preoperative predictors of postoperative PROMIS physical function and pain interference scores in patients undergoing TKA and THA?
Population
2411 patients who underwent TKA and THA from 2014-2020
Comparison
TKA vs THA
Design
Survey-based observational cohort study

Similar postoperative PROMIS scores after TKA and THA should not yet change practice; leaves open differential preoperative predictors for each procedure.
What are the preoperative predictors of postoperative PROMIS physical function and pain interference scores in patients undergoing TKA and THA?
Postoperative PROMIS scores are similar for TKA and THA, with THA having slightly higher physical function and lower pain interference scores.
