PG - S289-S293 LID - S0883-5403(23)00368-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.arth.2023.04.022 [doi] AB - INTRODUCTION: Previous studies have shown lower morbidity and mortality rates after total hip arthroplasty (THA) at academic teaching hospitals. This study sought to determine the relationship between hospital teaching status and patient-reported outcome measures following primary THA. METHODS: Using American Joint Replacement Registry data from 2012 to 2020, 4,447 primary, elective THAs with both preoperative and one year postoperative Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, Joint Replacement (HOOS, JR) scores were analyzed. The main exposure variable was hospital teaching status, with three cohorts, as follows: major teaching hospitals, minor teaching hospitals, and non-teaching hospitals. Mean preoperative and one year postoperative HOOS, JR scores were compared. RESULTS: Preoperative HOOS, JR scores (nonteaching: 49.69 +/- 14.42 versus major teaching: 47.68 +/- 15.10 versus minor teaching: 42.46 +/- 19.19, P < .001) were significantly higher at non-teaching hospitals than major and minor teaching hospitals, and these differences persisted at one year postoperatively (87.40 +/- 15.14 versus 83.87 +/- 16.68 versus 80.37 +/- 19.27, P < .001). Both preoperative and postoperative differences in HOOS, JR scores were less than the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) at both time points. In multivariate regressions, non-teaching and minor teaching hospitals had similar odds of MCID achievement in HOOS, JR scores compared to major teaching hospitals. CONCLUSION: Using the HOOS, JR score as a validated outcome measure, undergoing primary THA at an academic teaching hospital did not correlate with higher postoperative HOOS, JR scores or greater chances of MCID achievement in HOOS, JR scores compared to non-teaching hospitals. Further work is required to determine the most important factors that may lead to improvement in patient-reported outcomes following THA. CI - Copyright (c) 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
