RESUMO

PURPOSE: To identify the characteristics of people with hip or knee osteoarthritis (OA) attending a regional triage centre for an initial consult who are deemed not yet ready for total joint arthroplasty (TJA). METHODS: Initial consultation notes (n=482) were reviewed retrospectively. Predictive variables were derived from the literature a priori, and 14 of these variables were suitable for inclusion in stepwise multiple logistic regression analyses. RESULTS: Of the 222 eligible people, 131 (59%) were deemed not yet ready for TJA. Five variables entered into the model ([Formula: see text]=133.19, p<0.001) for an overall success rate of 81.1%. Those deemed not yet ready for TJA were more likely to have knee OA (vs. hip OA; odds ratio [OR]=0.352, p=0.018), to have less severe OA (OR=0.246 for each category increase in severity, p<0.001), to use no gait aid (vs. cane; OR=0.390, p=0.033), and to have a higher Lower Extremity Functional Scale score (OR=1.050 for each 1-point increase, p=0.003) and better joint status as measured by the Knee Society Scale or Hip Harris Scale (OR=3.946 for each category increase, p=0.007). CONCLUSION: Considering these characteristics will help clinicians to identify individuals likely to require interventions other than TJA.


Objectif : Identifier les caractéristiques des personnes souffrant d'arthrose du genou ou de la hanche qui se rendent à un centre de triage régional pour une première consultation et sont considérées comme n'étant pas prêtes pour une arthroplastie totale des articulations (ATA). Méthodes : Des notes de première consultation (n=482) ont été examinées de manière rétrospective. Des variables prédictives ont d'abord été tirées de la recension des écrits à ce sujet, puis 14 de ces variables se sont avérées convenables pour une inclusion dans des analyses de régression logistique multiple par étapes. Résultats : Sur les 222 personnes admissibles, 131 (59 %) ont été considérées comme n'étant pas prêtes pour une ATA. Cinq variables ont été entrées dans le modèle ([Formula: see text]=133,19, p<0,001) pour un taux global de réussite de 81,1 %. Les personnes considérées comme n'étant pas prêtes pour une ATA étaient plus susceptibles de souffrir d'arthrose du genou (hanche et genou; rapport de cotes [RC]=0,352, p=0,018), de souffrir d'arthrose moins grave (RC=0,246 pour chaque augmentation de catégorie de gravité, p<0,001), de n'utiliser aucune aide à la marche (canne et aucune aide à la marche; RC=0,390, p=0,033) et d'avoir des résultats plus élevés à l'échelle fonctionnelle des membres inférieurs (RC=1,050 pour chaque augmentation d'un point, p=0,003) et des articulations en meilleur état selon le score des échelles de hanche Harris et de la Knee Society (RC=3,946 pour chaque augmentation de catégorie, p=0,007). Conclusion : Le fait de tenir compte des caractéristiques énumérées ci-dessus aidera les cliniciens à identifier les personnes qui pourraient avoir besoin d'une intervention autre que l'ATA.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The primary purpose of this study was to examine experienced physiotherapists' perceptions of best practices for patients following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in publicly funded outpatient hospital settings in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The secondary objective was to identify the facilitators of and barriers to implementing best practices in the subacute phase of rehabilitation. METHODS: A qualitative, descriptive, focused ethnographic approach was used to explore physiotherapists' perceptions of best practices for patients with TKA. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with expert physiotherapists acting as key informants. A snowball sampling method was used to recruit physiotherapists in the GTA. Interviews were conducted in person by two of the investigators. RESULTS: Physiotherapists from seven acute-care hospitals in the GTA participated in the study. Analysis of the 140 pages of transcripts from the interviews with 10 physiotherapists revealed that participants perceived best practices as encompassing the adoption of a client-centred approach; inter-professional collaboration; aggressive rehabilitation for patients who are unsuccessful in achieving their outcomes; the use of relevant outcome measures; and consideration of the impact of scarce resources on care. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study highlight physiotherapists' perceived best practices for patients with TKA and the unique contribution that hospital-based outpatient physiotherapy can make to patients' rehabilitation.
