PG - 1207-1213 LID - S0883-5403(23)01137-3 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.arth.2023.11.014 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: In accordance with the high incidence of bilateral knee osteoarthritis, many patients have undergone bilateral total knee arthroplasty (BTKA). Whether patients undergo bilateral procedures in a staged or simultaneous fashion, the physical and mental burden of undergoing 2 major orthopedic procedures is considerable. The aims of this study were to (1) investigate differences between minimal clinically important difference (MCID) achievement between staged versus simultaneous BTKA, and (2) identify the patient variables, specifically mental scores, that were associated with MCID achievement in patients undergoing BTKA. METHODS: Simultaneous and staged BTKA patients within a single health care network from 2016 to 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Patient demographics, surgery details, and Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System Physical Function Short Forms 10a (PROMIS PF10a), PROMIS Mental scores, and Knee Disability Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores (KOOS) were reviewed. Preoperative and postoperative patient-reported outcome measures were collected before the first total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and after the second TKA, respectively, in staged BTKA patients. The final cohort consisted of 249 patients, with an average age of 66 years (range, 21 to 87), 63% women, and an average body mass index of 32 (range, 20 to 52), at a mean follow-up of 1.1 years (range, 0.5 to 2.4). Multivariate regressions were performed on MCID PF10a and KOOS achievement, as well as whether the BTKA was performed simultaneously versus staged. RESULTS: A preoperative PROMIS Mental score in the upper 2 quartiles was associated with MCID PF10a achievement in BTKA. Men and surgeries performed at an Academic Medical Center were negatively associated with the achievement of MCID KOOS. Interestingly, those who underwent simultaneous BTKA were less likely to achieve MCID KOOS than those who underwent a staged BTKA. CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative mental robustness may be positively associated with improved physical function outcome in BTKA patients. CI - Copyright (c) 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
