Few studies have investigated the association between obesity, preoperative weight loss and postoperative outcomes beyond 30- and 90-days post-arthroplasty. This study investigated whether body mass index (BMI) and preoperative weight loss in people with obesity predict postoperative complications and patient-reported outcomes 6 months following total knee [...]

Why do some people with osteoarthritis and obesity awaiting hip or knee arthroplasty achieve successful weight management? A qualitative study – Natalie Pavlovic et al.

Lucia Marcello2023-12-01T11:17:55+11:00Hip, Knee, Musculoskeletal, Publications, Surgery|

This study explored perceived barriers and enablers to weight management among people with obesity awaiting total knee or hip arthroplasty. Four identified themes underpinned successful weight management: beliefs, adaptability, navigating healthcare and sociocultural context. Beliefs about whether weight was perceived as a problem, the expectation [...]

Prevalence and characteristics of musculoskeletal complaints in primary care: an analysis from the population level and analysis reporting (POLAR) database – Romi Haas et al.

Lucia Marcello2023-03-01T13:45:04+11:00Knee, Low back pain, Musculoskeletal, Osteoarthritis, Pain, Primary Care, Publications, Shoulder|

The burden of MSK complaints at the primary care level is high as evidenced by the prevalence of people with musculoskeletal complaints presenting to a general practitioner, the preponderance of comorbidities and the numerous consultations per year. Identification and evaluation of strategies to reduce this [...]

Health service research definition builder: An R Shiny application for exploring diagnosis codes associated with services reported in routinely collected health data – Kelsey Chalmers et. al

Lucia Marcello2023-01-25T15:29:37+11:00Definition complexity, Diagnostic system, Knee, Low-value care, Musculoskeletal, Overuse, Publications|

Many administrative health data-based studies define patient cohorts using procedure and diagnosis codes. The impact these criteria have on a study’s final cohort is not always transparent to co-investigators or other audiences if access to the research data is restricted. We developed a SAS and [...]

Global Burden of Disease Study 2019: an opportunity to understand the growing prevalence and impact of hip, knee, hand and other osteoarthritis in Australia – Ilana N. Ackerman et. al

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and has been estimated to affect over 2.2 million Australians. While mild to moderate forms of the condition can be managed via non-surgical means (e.g. with guideline-recommended education, exercise, weight management and pharmacological treatments), more severe [...]

The Association Between Preoperative Patient-Reported Health Status and Postoperative Survey Completion Following Arthroplasty: Registry-Based Cohort Study – Ian Harris et al

Thomas Dakin2022-09-07T16:29:16+10:00Knee, PROMS, Publications|

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are commonly used to report outcomes after hip and knee arthroplasty, but response rates are rarely complete. Given that preoperative health status (as measured by PROMs) is a strong predictor of outcomes (using the same measures) and that these outcomes may [...]

Poor Knee-specific and Generic Patient-reported Outcome Measure Scores at 6 Months Are Associated With Early Revision Knee Arthroplasty: A Study From the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry – Ilana Ackerman et al

Thomas Dakin2023-01-11T15:35:12+11:00Knee, Musculoskeletal, Publications, Surgery|

Knee-specific and generic PROM scores offer an efficient approach to identifying patients at greater risk of early revision surgery, using either the 6-month score or the magnitude of improvement.

Less improvement in knee function and higher rates of dissatisfaction in the short-term following total knee arthroplasty in people with mild radiographic arthritis – Yasser Khatib et al

Thomas Dakin2022-09-07T15:22:27+10:00Knee, Publications, Surgery|

The purpose of this study was to assess if severity of radiographic changes of knee arthritis was associated with patient improvement after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We hypothesised that patients with mild arthritis were more likely to report lower satisfaction, improvement in knee function and [...]

Effect of Physical Therapy vs Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy in People With Degenerative Meniscal Tears: Five-Year Follow-up of the ESCAPE Randomized Clinical Trial – Julia Noorduyn et al

Thomas Dakin2022-09-07T14:59:23+10:00Knee, Publications|

There is a paucity of high-quality evidence about the long-term effects (ie. 3-5 years and beyond) of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy vs exercise-based physical therapy for patients with degenerative meniscal tears. The findings of this trial support the recommendation that exercise-based physical therapy should be the [...]

Barriers, enablers and acceptability of home-based care following elective total knee or hip replacement at a private hospital: A qualitative study of patient and caregiver perspectives – Jason Wallis et al

Thomas Dakin2022-09-07T14:49:34+10:00Hip, Knee, Publications|

To facilitate implementation of home-based care following an elective total knee or hip replacement in a private hospital, we explored patient and caregiver barriers and enablers and components of care that may increase its acceptability.
