A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Pecs in Hungary aimed to investigate the impact of hip replacement surgery on the quality of life of patients in public and private hospitals. The study involved 128 patients, with 60 patients in public hospitals and 68 patients in private hospitals. The results showed that both groups experienced a significant improvement in quality of life three months after surgery, as measured by the SF-36 and Oxford Hip Score questionnaires. However, only patients in the private healthcare sector showed a significant improvement in mental health scores. The study concluded that the extent of improvement did not differ between the two healthcare sectors according to the Oxford Hip Score questionnaire, but there were differences in the improvement of physical and mental health scores.
