Outcome prediction for treatment of knee osteoarthritis with a total knee arthroplasty. Development and validation of a prediction model for pain and functional outcome using the Dutch arthroplasty register (LROI) data

Background One of the main determinants of treatment satisfaction after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the fulfilment of preoperative expectations. For optimal expectation management it is useful to be able accurately predict the treatment result. Multiple patient factors that are obtained for registration in the Dutch Arthroplasty Registry (LROI) are associated with the treatment result. Therefore, these factors can potentially be utilised to estimate the most likely outcome on pain and functional outcome for an individual patient Objectives The aim of the present study was to create and va...
