Serial changes in patient-reported outcome measures and satisfaction rate during long-term follow-up after total knee arthroplasty: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Purpose This study aimed to investigate the sequential changes in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and the satisfaction rate during long-term follow-up after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods Studies published until December 2023 were searched in MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS and Co...

description Abstract Purpose This study aimed to investigate the sequential changes in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and the satisfaction rate during long-term follow-up after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods Studies published until December 2023 were searched in MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS and Cochrane Library. The inclusion criteria were TKA as the primary procedure, a final post-operative follow-up period of at least seven years and reporting of PROMs data. The exclusion criteria were studies not reporting serial data of the same patient cohort, studies without mid-term data, comparative studies and reviews, comments or practice guidelines. Heterogeneity was assessed with the I 2 and tau 2 statistics. The quality of each study was evaluated using the methodological index for non-randomized studies (MINORS) criteria. The follow-up periods were divided into short-term, mid-term and long-term. Data were synthesised by narrative reviews and random-effects meta-analysis using standardised mean difference. Results Among the 13 studies included in the review, six were included in the meta-analysis. The overall PROMs were maintained until the mid-term (0.14; 95% CI [confidence interval], −0.05 to 0.34; I 2 = 96%; tau 2 = 0.10; P = 0.16), but declined in the long-term (−0.23; 95% CI −0.34 to −0.13; I 2 = 88%; tau 2 = 0.04; P < 0.0001). According to the subgroup analysis, pain improved from the short-term to mid-term (0.21; 95% CI 0.14 to 0.29; I 2 = 0%; tau 2 = 0). Subscales including function (−0.28; 95% CI −0.52 to −0.03; I 2 = 94%; tau 2 = 0.09) and objective measure (−0.23; 95% CI −0.31 to −0.15; I 2 = 62%; tau 2 = 0.01) declined from the mid-term to long-term. The patient satisfaction rate remained consistent throughout the study period. Conclusions The overall PROMs after TKA were maintained, with improvement observed in the pain subscale until the mid-term follow-up. However, in the long-term, overall PROMs, including function and objective measure, declined compared with those in the mid-term. Despite the decline in the physical aspects of PROMs over the long-term follow-up period, the patient satisfaction rate remained consistently high throughout the study period. Providing this information to patient pre-operatively may assist in establishing realistic expectations. Trial Registration This research was registered at PROSPERO (registration number: CRD42024578579).
