Predictive Factors of Pain and Functional Outcome 5 Years Following Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Prospective Function and Outcomes Research for Comparative Effectiveness in Total Joint Replacement Cohort Study.

Overall, 8.2% of patients were dissatisfied 5 years after primary THA. We have identified a number of factors that predict less improvement in pain and function 5 years after THA. These potentially modifiable factors can be targeted with preoperative patient optimization programs to improve patient outcomes and satisfaction after primary THA. Knowledge of these factors that predict less improvement in pain and function can assist the surgeon and patient during shared decision-making, and in setting appropriate patient expectations preoperatively.
