Abstrakt: Background: The primary aim was to determine whether time spent awaiting primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) affects patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) using the Oxford Hip score, Harris Hip Score, and visual analogue scale (VAS) pain. The secondary aim was to assess whether patients have worsening HRQoL, while awaiting THA using the European Quality of Life Five Dimension (EQ-5D) index and EQ-5D health VAS.
Methods: This was a single center cross-sectional study of 190 patients awaiting THA. Patients were divided into waiting "more than 6 months" and "less than 6 months." Baseline and current scores were compared. Multivariate regression analyses were performed to identify predictors of PROM change.
Results: No significant intergroup differences were observed for change in preoperative Oxford Hip score, Harris Hip Score, and VAS pain from index consultation to time of study. The EQ-5D index and EQ-5D health VAS decreased significantly further in patients waiting more than 6 months (P = .043, P = .004). Time awaiting THA was significantly associated with a decrease in EQ-5D index and EQ-5D health VAS in multivariate regression (P = .013, P < .001).
Conclusions: Waiting more than 6 months is not associated with a decrease in hip-specific PROMs and longer waiting times are not associated with changes in hip-specific PROMs. Waiting time was associated with a decrease in health-related quality of life and patients waiting more than 6 months had significantly higher decreases in EQ-5D scores. This suggests that living longer with hip osteoarthritis leads to a decrease in QoL, not necessarily through perceived osteoarthritis progression.
Level of Evidence: Level III cross-sectional study.
