PG - 1971-1979 LID - S0749-8063(23)00505-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.arthro.2023.06.028 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: To identify differences in the time taken to achieve the minimum clinically important difference (MCID), substantial clinical benefit (SCB), and patient-acceptable symptom state (PASS) following primary hip arthroscopy for the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) among patients of different body mass index (BMI) categories. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective comparative study of hip arthroscopy patients with minimum 2-year follow-up. BMI categories were defined as normal (18.5 /=8.2 and >/=19.8, respectively. PASS cutoff was set at postoperative mHHS >/=74. Time to achievement of each milestone was compared using the interval-censored EMICM algorithm. The effect of BMI was adjusted for age and sex using an interval-censored proportional hazards model. RESULTS: 285 patients were included in the analysis: 150 (52.6%) normal BMI, 99 (34.7%) overweight, and 36 (12.6%) obese. Obese patients had lower mHHS at baseline (P = .006) and at 2-year follow-up (P = .008). There were no significant intergroup differences in time to achievement for MCID (P = .92) or SCB (P = .69), but obese patients had longer time to PASS than normal BMI patients (P = .047). Multivariable analysis found obesity to be predictive of longer time to PASS (HR = .55; P = .007) but not MCID (HR = 0.91; P = .68) or SCB (HR = 1.06; P = .30). CONCLUSIONS: Class I obesity is associated with delays in achieving a literature-defined PASS threshold after primary hip arthroscopy for FAIS.
