Resumen de Health-Related Quality of Life After Total Joint Arthroplasty:: A Scoping Review
This review examines recovery after total hip and knee arthroplasty. It aims to (1) provide an overview of the different types of diseasespecific, generic, and utility outcome measures used to assess recovery after total hip and knee arthroplasty and (2) summarize reported changes in health-related quality of life after total joint arthroplasty. Disease-specific measures reported large and important changes (assessed with minimally clinically important differences and effect size criteria), primarily for pain and function over short- and long-term recovery. Smaller but important changes were reported with generic and utility measures. Changes were largest in the pain and physical function domains.
