| description | Background: There is limited literature evaluating patient satisfaction and outcomes after outpatient joint arthroplasty procedures in academic medical centers (AMCs). The aims of this study are to determine: (1) patients' desires to repeat their procedures and be discharged on the same day, (2) patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), (3) time to discharge, (4) readmission rates, and (5) factors that predict PROMs in patients undergoing outpatient joint arthroplasty in AMCs. Methods: A prospective survey was completed by 66 total hip arthroplasty (THA), 35 total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and 180 unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA) outpatients who underwent surgery from May 2018 to December 2020 in 2 AMCs. The survey consisted of questions regarding hip or knee PROMs (Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement, and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement), satisfaction with outpatient procedures and discharges, and reasons for readmissions. Linear regression analysis was conducted with statistical significance set at P < .05. Results: 100% of THA, 93.8% of TKA, and 93.0% of UKA outpatients stated that they would re-elect to undergo their respective procedure. Furthermore, 94% of THA, 81% of TKA, and 95% of UKA patients stated they would like same-day discharge again. THA, TKA, and UKA patients reported respective mean PROM scores of 94.7, 89.9, and 86.1. Readmission rates were 1.5%, 0.0%, and 0.5%, for THA, TKA, and UKA, respectively. Conclusions: Patients who underwent outpatient joint arthroplasty procedures at 2 AMCs experienced minimal readmissions and reported a high desire to repeat their outpatient procedures. |
