BACKGROUND: @entity1 -Reported Outcome (PRO) measurement is a method for measuring perceptions of @entity1 on their health and quality of life. The aim of this paper is to present the results of PRO measurements in total hip and knee replacement as routinely collected during 20  years of surgery in a university hospital setting. METHODS: Data of consecutive @entity1 between 1993 and 2014 were collected. Health outcomes were measured pre-surgery and at 3, 6, and 12  months post-surgery. Outcomes for hip replacement were measured with the @entity572 ( @entity572 ) and @entity572 ( @entity572 ). Outcomes for knee replacement were measured with the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) and the Knee Society Score (KSS). A Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for @entity158 was used. Absolute and relative Minimal Clinically Important Differences (MCID) were estimated. Generalized estimating equation analysis was used for estimating mean outcomes. Trends over time were analyzed. RESULTS: The database contained 2,089 @entity1 with hip replacement, and 704 @entity1 with knee replacement. Mean @entity572 and @entity572 scores in primary hip replacement at 12  months post-surgery were 86.7 (SD: 14.5) and 41.1 (SD: 7.5) respectively. Improvements on the @entity572 based on absolute MCID was lower for revisions compared to primary hip replacements, with 72.4% and 87.0% respectively. Mean WOMAC and KSS scores in knee replacement at 12  months post-surgery were 21.5 (SD: 18.2) and 67.0 (SD: 26.4) respectively. Improvements based on absolute MCID were lowest for the KSS (62.6%) and highest for @entity227 (85.6%). Trend analysis showed a difference in 1 out of 24 comparisons in hip replacement and in 2 out of 9 comparisons in knee replacement. CONCLUSIONS: The functional status of a large cohort of @entity1 significantly improved after hip and knee replacement based on routine data collection. Our study shows the feasibility of the routine collection of PRO data in @entity1 with total hip and knee replacement. The use of PRO data provides opportunities for continuous quality improvement.
