ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Few studies have evaluated the associations between preoperative factors and pain and physical function outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) from a mid-term perspective. Identification of such factors is important for optimizing outcomes following surgery. Thus, we examined the associations between selected preoperative factors and moderate to severe pain and pain-related functional impairment as measured using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), five years after TKA in patients with knee osteoarthritis.METHODS:
In this prospective observational study, all patients scheduled for primary unilateral TKA for osteoarthritis were consecutively recruited. Preoperative factors identified from previous meta-analyses were included to assess their associations with pain severity and pain-related functional impairment five years after TKA. Pain severity was the primary outcome, while pain-related functional impairment was the secondary outcome. The BPI was used to evaluate outcomes five years post-TKA. Statistically significant factors from univariate regressions were entered into a multiple logistic regression model to identify those with the strongest associations with pain severity or pain-related functional impairment five years after TKA.RESULTS:
A total of 136 patients were included, with a mean age of 67.7 years (SD 9.2) and a majority being female (68%). More severe preoperative pain (OR = 1.34, 95% CI [1.03 to 1.74]), more painful sites (OR = 1.28., 95% CI [1.01 to 1.63]), and more severe anxiety symptoms (OR = 1.14., 95% CI [1.01 to 1.28]) were associated with increased likelihood of moderate to severe pain five years after TKA surgery, while more severe osteoarthritis (OR = 0.13, 95% CI [0.03 to 0.61]) was associated with reduced likelihood of moderate to severe pain five years after TKA. More severe anxiety symptoms (OR = 1.25, 95% CI [1.08 to 1.46]) were also associated with increased likelihood of moderate to severe pain-related functional impairment five years after surgery, while male sex (OR = 0.23, 95% CI [0.05 to 0.98]) was associated with reduced likelihood of pain-related functional impairment five years after surgery.CONCLUSION:
The identified preoperative factors should be included in larger prognostic studies evaluating the associations between preoperative factors and mid-term pain severity and physical function outcomes after TKA surgery.Palavras-chave
