Summary

This study identified three distinct recovery patterns after total hip (THA) and knee (TKA) arthroplasty. Most patients recover well, but some experience delayed or poor outcomes influenced by factors like obesity and comorbidities.

Area of Science:

Orthopedic surgery
Patient outcomes research
Health data analytics

Background:

Total joint arthroplasty (THA and TKA) recovery is patient-specific, with identifiable recovery patterns.
Understanding these patterns can improve patient care and outcomes.
Preoperative data may predict individual recovery trajectories.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify and characterize distinct recovery patterns following THA and TKA.
To utilize patient-reported outcomes across multiple health domains.
To hypothesize that recovery patterns can be predicted using preoperative data.

Main Methods:

A longitudinal clustering algorithm was applied to patient-reported outcomes from THA and TKA patients.
The algorithm incorporated physical health, mental health, and joint-specific measures.
Multinomial regression was used to predict recovery patterns from preoperative and perioperative factors.

Main Results:

Three distinct recovery patterns were identified for both THA and TKA patients.
For THA: standard (50.8%), late mental (13.2%), and substandard (36.1%) responders.
For TKA: standard (55.8%), poor mental (24%), and poor physical (20.2%) responders. Factors like obesity, comorbidities, and opioid use were associated with poorer outcomes.

Conclusions:

Distinct recovery trajectories exist following THA and TKA, beyond simple success or failure.
These patterns are characterized by patient-specific factors, including modifiable comorbidities.
This multidomain approach offers a novel perspective on understanding and predicting joint arthroplasty recovery.
