“…In our study, knee replacement rate was particularly low in 2014 which could in part be explained by the economic recession. Construction workers, who were disproportionately affected by job insecurity and emigration may have deferred seeking elective procedures 39. Knee arthroscopy rate was also associated with higher unemployment in univariable analysis but as both decreased over time, the relationship did not remain significant in multivariable analysis.…”

ObjectiveTo examine the extent of geographical variation across musculoskeletal surgical procedures and associated factors in Ireland.DesignRepeated cross-sectional study.Setting36 public hospitals in Ireland.ParticipantsAdult admissions for hip fracture, hip and knee replacement, knee arthroscopy and lumbar spine interventions over 5 years (2012–2016).Primary outcome measureStandardised discharge rate (SDR).AnalysisAge and sex SDRs were calculated for 21 geographical areas. Extremal quotients, coefficients of variation and systematic components of variance were calculated. Linear regression analyses were conducted exploring the relationship between SDRs and year, unemployment, % urban population, number of referral hospitals, % on waiting lists>6 months and % with private health insurance for each procedure.ResultsAcross 36 public hospitals, n=102 756 admissions were included. Hip fracture repair showed very low variation. Elective hip and knee procedures showed high variation in particular years, while variation for lumbar interventions was very high. Knee arthroscopy rates decreased over time. Higher unemployment was associated with knee and hip replacement rates and urban areas had lower hip replacement rates. Spinal procedure rates were associated with a lower number of referral hospitals in a region and spinal injection rates were associated with shorter waiting lists. A higher proportion of patients having private health insurance was associated with higher rates of hip and knee replacement and lumbar spinal procedures.ConclusionsVariation and factors associated with SDRs for publicly funded hip and knee procedures are consistent with similar international research in this field. Further research should explore reasons for high rates of spinal injections and the impact of private practice on musculoskeletal procedure variation.

“…Migration from Ireland in times of hardship is seen as a culturally widespread, historically ingrained response to economic hardship. Net migration from Ireland increased with the onset, and progression, of the economic recession (Bergin and Kelly 2018). This exodus of people, with a large proportion of young males who became unemployed due to the downturn in the construction industry (see Kelly et al 2015), helped keep the peace on the streets.…”

“…Given the sectors most affected by job loss, men were more adversely affected by unemployment than women, as were young people and immigrants. For example, in 2012, 17.8 per cent of men were unemployed compared to 12.8 per cent of women (Bergin et al, 2020).…”

The mission of the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) is to advance evidence-based policymaking that supports economic sustainability and social progress in Ireland. ESRI researchers apply the highest standards of academic excellence to challenges facing policymakers, focusing on 12 areas of critical importance to 21st century Ireland.The Institute was founded in 1960 by a group of senior civil servants led by Dr T. K. Whitaker, who identified the need for independent and in-depth research analysis to provide a robust evidence base for policymaking in Ireland. Since then, the Institute has remained committed to independent research and its work is free of any expressed ideology or political position. The Institute publishes all research reaching the appropriate academic standard, irrespective of its findings or who funds the research.The quality of its research output is guaranteed by a rigorous peer review process. ESRI researchers are experts in their fields and are committed to producing work that meets the highest academic standards and practices.The work of the Institute is disseminated widely in books, journal articles and reports. ESRI publications are available to download, free of charge, from its website. Additionally, ESRI staff communicate research findings at regular conferences and seminars.The ESRI is a company limited by guarantee, answerable to its members and governed by a Council, comprising 14 members who represent a cross-section of ESRI members from academia, civil services, state agencies, businesses and civil society. The Institute receives an annual grant-in-aid from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to support the scientific and public interest elements of the Institute's activities; the grant accounted for an average of 30 per cent of the Institute's income over the lifetime of the last Research Strategy. The remaining funding comes from research programmes supported by government departments and agencies, public bodies and competitive research programmes.
