We examined whether sex differences in willingness to undergo TKA at surgeon consultation contributed to sex disparities.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This cross-sectional study was nested in a prospective cohort of knee OA patients referred to Alberta, Canada, hip/knee surgery clinics from 2014 to 2017. A pre-consult questionnaire assessed TKA appropriateness and contextual factors. TKA willingness was defined as responding 'yes' to \"I would definitely consider having TKA now\". Surgeon's reported their TKA recommendation (yes/no) postconsultation. Multivariable logistic regression models examined the association of patient sex with TKA willingness (yes/no) and multivariable log Poisson regression models assessed the association of willingness with receipt of a surgeon recommendation for TKA, stratified by sex. Models were adjusted for TKA appropriateness (need, psychological readiness, expectations, health status) and contextual factors.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>2,035 participants were included (58.72% female; mean age 65.7 years [SD, 9.1]). Adjusting for TKA appropriateness and contextual factors, the odds ratio associated with a female versus a male being 'willing' was 0.67 (0.51 - 0.88). 1,518 (74.59%) participants were recommended TKA. The adjusted risk ratio associated with a 'definitely willing' individual being recommended TKA was 5.03 (95% CI 3.04 - 8.33) in males and 2.15 (95% CI 1.68 - 2.75) in females.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Willingness to undergo TKA was associated with a higher likelihood of being recommended for TKA among males than females, raising concerns regarding bias.</p>","PeriodicalId":50064,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rheumatology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149197536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
