Abstrakt:	Introduction: Previous research has indicated language-based disparities in outcomes after total hip and knee arthroplasty. In this study, we examined the relationship between primary spoken language and outcomes and patient engagement process metrics in a multihospital academic health system. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent elective primary total hip or knee arthroplasty in 2018 to 2022. Primary language was categorized as English, Spanish, and Other. Associations were examined between language and perioperative outcomes (same-day discharge, extended hospital length of stay, nonhome discharge, 30-day hospital returns, 90-day readmissions, and 90-day combined complications), and engagement-related metrics (preoperative joint class attendance and patient-reported outcome measure [PROM] completion). We report adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: Among 8,220 patients (7.9% Spanish and 5.1% Other non-English), we found no notable associations between language and same-day discharge, nonhome discharge, 30-day hospital returns, 90-day readmissions, or 90-day complications. Other (versus English) language was significantly associated with decreased odds of extended length of stay (OR 0.49, 95% CI, 0.32 to 0.76, P = 0.001). In patient engagement, Other (versus English) language was associated with significantly decreased odds of preoperative class attendance (OR 0.72, 95% CI, 0.54 to 0.95, P = 0.02). Spanish (versus English) primary language was significantly associated with decreased odds of preoperative and 1-year PROM completion (OR 0.34 to 0.75, P ≤ 0.001), and Other (versus English) primary language was significantly associated with decreased odds of preoperative PROM completion (OR 0.59, 95% CI, 0.47 to 0.73, P < 0.001). Conclusion: Our findings highlight language-based disparities in patient engagement metrics but comparable outcomes. Differences in findings compared with past literature may be related to institution-specific language-related support systems. There is a need for additional resources to support patients' active participation in their care, regardless of their primary spoken language.
