PG - e32181 LID - 10.7759/cureus.32181 [doi] LID - e32181 AB - The primary aims of our study were to determine if hospital readmissions within one year following primary total joint arthroplasty (TJA) and their relative timing influence patients' ability to achieve the two-year Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) physical, PROMIS mental, and PROMIS Physical-Function-Short-Form-10a (SF-10a) minimal clinically important difference (MCID). This is a retrospective study conducted using data from a multi-institutional, arthroplasty registry. Only patients with paired patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) assessments (preoperatively and two years postoperatively) were included. Five separate readmission cohorts were formed: (1) any-cause readmission within one year, (2) any-cause readmission within 90 days, (3) non-index-surgery-related readmission within 90 days, (4) index-surgery-related readmission within one year, and (5) index-surgery-related readmission within 90 days. A propensity score match was used to match each of the patients to one of the 972 patients (1:1 basis) in the non-readmission group. The association between failure to achieve each of the three two-year MCIDs and Readmission status was analyzed using logistic regression. We found that all readmissions within one year and index-surgery-related readmissions within one year resulted in an increased risk of failure to achieve the two-year MCID across all three collected PROMs. Index surgery-related readmissions within 90 days (OR 3.24; 95% CI 1.05-11.05; p=0.048) sustained significantly different rates of two-year PROMIS physical MCID achievement compared to matched controls. Postoperative complications requiring readmission, particularly those related to the joint arthroplasty and those within 90 days of index surgery, significantly impact the ability to achieve the two-year MCID of PROMs. CI - Copyright (c) 2022, Katakam et al.
