Popis: Rationale, Aims and Objectives: Alignment between patients’ treatment choices and treatments received is acknowledged as an important outcome of shared decision-making (SDM), yet recent research suggests that patients’ choices do not always align with their actual treatment trajectories. This paper explores the alignment of patient-expressed treatment choices (for surgery or medical management) after exposure to decision aids and treatments received among patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis within High Value Healthcare Collaborative (HVHC) systems as the collaborative integrating decision aids intended to support SDM into routine clinical practice. Method: This retrospective cohort study examines data from adult (>18 years) patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis who received decision aids as part of orthopedic consultations within HVHC systems between 2012-2015. Multivariate logistic regression explored the association between patient-level characteristics with the odds of treatment choice-receipt alignment. Results: The majority of patients with knee osteoarthritis (68.3%) and hip osteoarthritis (71.9%) received treatments aligned with their choices following exposure to decision aids, but analyses reveal important differences in the odds of such alignment across patient characteristics. In adjusted models, African American patients with knee osteoarthritis had 50% lower odds of receiving treatment aligned with their choices compared with white patients (OR = 0.52, p
