Association of preoperative opioid use with mortality and short-term safety outcomes after total knee replacement.
The purpose of this study was to determine the association of preoperative opioid use among patients 65 years and older with mortality and other complications at 30 days post-total knee replacement (TKR). Findings show that continuous opioid users had a higher risk of revision operations, vertebral fractures, and opioid overdose at 30 days post-TKR but not of in-hospital or 30-day mortality, compared with opioid-naive patients. Highlights include the need for better understanding of patient characteristics associated with chronic opioid use to optimize preoperative assessment of overall risk after TKR.

A 12-item short form of the Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS-12): tests of reliability, validity and responsiveness.
The goal of this study was to measure validity, reliability and responsiveness of the 12-item version of the 40-item Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) surveys that measure joint-specific pain, function and quality of life (QOL) for patients. The shorter forms were given to 1,281 hip OA patients from the FORCE-TJR cohort who had previously completed the HOOS surveys before and after total joint replacement surgery. The HOOS-12 survey was compared to the full-length HOOS, HOOS-PS, and HOOS, JR surveys. Internal consistency reliability was above 0.70 for all HOOS-12 scales and above 0.90 for the Summary score. Validity and responsiveness were also found to be comparable to full-length HOOS scales.

Item selection for 12-item short forms of the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS-12) and Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS-12).
The goal of this study was to develop 12-item versions of the 42-item Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and 40-item Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) surveys that measure joint-specific pain, function and quality of life (QOL) for patients. The shorter forms were given to 1,395 knee osteoarthritis (OA) and 1,281 hip OA patients from the FORCE-TJR cohort who had previously completed the KOOS and HOOS surveys before and after total joint replacement surgery. The KOOS-12 and HOOS-12 surveys were found to successfully measure pain and function items of the patients as well as the 42-item versions.

A 12-item short form of the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS-12): tests of reliability, validity and responsiveness.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate reliability, validity and responsiveness of KOOS-12, a 12-item short form of the 42-item Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) that provides Pain, Function and Quality of Life (QOL) scale scores and a summary knee impact score. Results showed that KOOS-12 was a reliable and valid alternative to KOOS in total knee replacement patients with moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis and provided three domain-specific and summary knee impact scores with substantially reduced respondent burden.

Living in immigrant communities does not impact total knee arthroplasty outcomes: experience from a high-volume center in the United States.
The objective of this study was to assess the relationship of neighborhood immigrant proportion (IP) to preoperative and 2-year postoperative pain and function after elective total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). Patients in a high-volume institutional TKA registry were analyzed retrospectively, and demographics, pre-op and 2-year post-op WOMAC pain and function scores, and addresses obtained. Patient-level variables were linked to Census Bureau tract data. Researchers conclude that patients living in high IP neighborhoods do not have worse pre-op or 2-year post-op pain and function outcomes after TKA compared to those living in lower IP neighborhoods.
