Question
How does an artificial intelligence (AI)–enabled decision aid generated using patient-reported outcome measurements compare with education only on decision quality, patient satisfaction, and functional outcomes among individuals with knee osteoarthritis considering total knee replacement?
Findings
This randomized clinical trial of 129 patients demonstrated statistically significant improvement in decision quality, level of shared decision-making, patient satisfaction, and functional outcomes in patients using an AI-enabled decision aid.
Meaning
These findings suggest that AI-enabled decision aids incorporating patient-reported outcome measurement data provide a personalized, data-driven approach to shared decision-making for the surgical management of knee osteoarthritis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
