Abstract
Background
The purpose of this study was to analyze if Area Deprivation Index (ADI), as a geography-based proxy for socioeconomic status (SES), is associated with differences in patient-reported outcomes (PROs) 2 years after outpatient orthopaedic surgery.
Methods
Patients undergoing outpatient orthopaedic surgery from June 2015 to November 2018 were administered Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) and joint-specific surveys at baseline and 2 years postoperatively. ADI was computed from home address. Tests of association were used to characterize 2-year PROs dependence on ADI. This informed covariate selection for multivariable linear regression examined PRO change over 2 years with ADI in the context of other self-reported socioeconomic covariates.
Results
Enrollment was 2117 patients, 1483 (70 %) completed follow-up. Lower SES as measured by home address was associated with lower function and less improvement from baseline at 2 years postoperatively. This trend was most apparent in PROMIS instruments.
Conclusion
SES as approximated by ADI is associated with PROs at 2 years after outpatient orthopaedic surgery for a subset of PROs. ADI should be considered for inclusion in statistical models using an SES-sensitive PRO as an outcome, understanding that model performance may also depend on if a single value or change over time is being estimated.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Orthopaedics aims to be a leading journal in orthopaedics and contribute towards the improvement of quality of orthopedic health care. The journal publishes original research work and review articles related to different aspects of orthopaedics including Arthroplasty, Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, Trauma, Spine and Spinal deformities, Pediatric orthopaedics, limb reconstruction procedures, hand surgery, and orthopaedic oncology. It also publishes articles on continuing education, health-related information, case reports and letters to the editor. It is requested to note that the journal has an international readership and all submissions should be aimed at specifying something about the setting in which the work was conducted. Authors must also provide any specific reasons for the research and also provide an elaborate description of the results.
