title: Do commonly reported outcome measures reflect patient satisfaction after revision hip arthroplasty?
abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine which commonly reported outcome measures best correlated with patient satisfaction after revision hip arthroplasty and to identify factors unrelated to hip status that may also play a role. From our institutional database, we identified 78 patients (80 hips) who underwent revision total hip arthroplasty and collected follow-up data. Patients with moderate or severe pain and those with limited walking ability reported significantly lower satisfaction scores. Harris hip score and patient-rated general health status were independently associated with patient satisfaction. Patient-rated anxiety and depression correlated inversely with satisfaction. Commonly reported outcome measures do reflect patient satisfaction after revision hip arthroplasty. However, satisfaction also appears to be influenced by psychologic factors.
