Early Perioperative Quality Of Recovery After Hip and Knee Arthroplasty: a Retrospective Comparative Cohort Study

Early Perioperative Quality Of Recovery After Hip and Knee Arthroplasty: a Retrospective Comparative Cohort Study

Hip and knee replacements are indicated to improve long-term quality of life and pain. These long-term results may depend on the quality of the initial postoperative recovery.

However, early postoperative health status after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is not accurately described. Through this retrospective study, the investigators wanted to describe the perioperative state of health monitored using the QoR-15 questionnaire for THA and TKA patients from the perioperative moment to postoperative day 28.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Adult patient (age ≥ 18 years)
• Having benefited from an ATG or ATH at Strasbourg University Hospital between March 1, 2020 and December 31, 2022
• Tracked with QoR-15 score
• Patient not opposing the reuse of his data for scientific research purposes

Exclusion Criteria:

• Refusal to participate in the study
• Patient admitted to THA for a hip fracture
• Patient admitted for multiple THA or TKA
