“…Possible contributing factors such as age and number of co-morbidities were similar for both groups (data not shown) and people awaiting TKR had a longer median waiting time (309 days for TKR versus 243 days for THR). Deterioration in HRQoL has also been reported in people awaiting THR in the Netherlands [9] and Sweden [15] using a different HRQoL utility measure, the EQ-5D. Other studies have investigated HRQoL in people awaiting joint replacement but cannot be directly compared with our findings.…”

“…Although the impact of longer waiting times has been unclear [14], several studies have reported deterioration in WOMAC pain and/or physical function subscale scores among people waiting for joint replacement. While these changes have been statistically significant, the mean changes in WOMAC scores have tended to be small [9,10,13,16]. In contrast, an earlier Canadian study found no change in WOMAC scores over the waiting period [8].…”

“…2 Patients waiting for healthcare report more symptoms, poorer health, and reduced health-related quality of life compared to others, 3,4 and for some, the period of waiting is experienced as devastating. 5 Some will experience deterioration of health while waiting, 6 and some have reduced function and ability to work. For some conditions, outcome of treatment seems poorer among patients that have waited longer for care, 7 and researchers argue that waiting time should be taken into account when considering cost-effectiveness of care.…”
