PG - 230-235 AB - PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate out- comes of hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) in female patients at 5-year follow-up. The working hypothesis for this study was that increased age and body mass index (BMI) would be associated with poor outcomes. METHODS: This study included all female patients 14 years and older who underwent primary hip arthroscopy for FAI with 5-year patient-reported outcome scores. Patients were separated into three age-based cohorts (< 30 years old, 30 to 45 years old, and > 45 years old) for subsequent statistical analysis. This analysis included a comparison of patient demographic information, intraoperative pathology, and functional outcome scores (modified Harris Hip Score [mHHS] and nonarthritic hip score [NAHS]). Statistically significant values were utilized in a regression-based analy- sis to determine predictors of 5-year outcomes in female patients. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered to be statisti- cally significant. RESULTS: Overall, 97 patients met the inclusion criteria, and there was no significant difference in patient demo- graphics (other than age and BMI) or in intraoperative pathologies identified. There were no significant difference across the three groups for mHHS and NAHS at baseline (p > 0.05). At baseline, there were no statistically significant differences between groups for NAHS scores, however < 30-year-old and 30- to 45-year-old cohorts had superior final NAHS scores relative to the > 45-year-old cohort (p = 0.005). At 5-year follow-up, the NAHS scores were significantly better for patients under 30 and 30 to 45 year olds relative to patients over 45 (84.2 +/- 15.1 vs. 86.7 +/- 11.0 vs. 71.9 +/- 26.8, respectively; p = 0.005). Overall, 88 patients (91%) met the minimal clinically important differ- ence (MCID), and 60 patients (62%) achieved the patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS). Baseline mHHS and BMI were shown to be statistically significant predictors of achieving MCID at 5 years in multivariate analysis (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggest that women generally have good-to-excellent outcomes following hip ar- throscopy, although females older than 45 may have inferior outcomes relative to younger patients, and BMI and baseline mHHS may be utilized to predict long-term improvement.
