CORR Insights®: Higher Preoperative Patient Activation Associated With Better Patient-reported Outcomes After Total Joint Arthroplasty

“…Measuring the effect of so-called ''patient activation'' on satisfaction, symptom intensity, and magnitude of disability after total hip and knee arthroplasty makes sense. Andrawis and colleagues found that patient activation was associated with pain, symptoms, mental health, and satisfaction, but not with activity/function/disability [1].…”

“…Andrawis and colleagues note that satisfaction rates are around 85% for hip and knee arthroplasty [1]. Emotional health and resources explain much of the variation in symptom relief and magnitude of disability after arthroplasty [2][3][4].…”

Informação Como Instrumento Da Assistência Ao Paciente Submetido a Cirurgia Ortopédica

“…O ato cirúrgico envolve responsabilidades do hospital, da equipe de saúde, do paciente e familiares em diversos graus, e para resultados pós-operatórios positivos, o adequado preparo do paciente tem fundamental importância (1)(2)(3)(4)(5) .…”

Value-based Healthcare: Patient-reported Outcomes in Clinical Decision Making

“…Patients who read their notes, collect their personal health data, and maintain a record are more engaged, empowered, and activated to participate in their healthcare. One study found that patients with hip and knee arthritis who had higher levels of patient engagement preoperatively were more likely to achieve greater pain relief and satisfaction after total joint arthroplasty [1].…”
