Aims

This study aimed to investigate the estimated change in primary and revision arthroplasty rate in the Netherlands and Denmark for hips, knees, and shoulders during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 (COVID-period). Additional points of focus included the comparison of patient characteristics and hospital type (2019 vs COVID-period), and the estimated loss of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) and impact on waiting lists.

Methods

All hip, knee, and shoulder arthroplasties (2014 to 2020) from the Dutch Arthroplasty Register, and hip and knee arthroplasties from the Danish Hip and Knee Arthroplasty Registries, were included. The expected number of arthroplasties per month in 2020 was estimated using Poisson regression, taking into account changes in age and sex distribution of the general Dutch/Danish population over time, calculating observed/expected (O/E) ratios. Country-specific proportions of patient characteristics and hospital type were calculated per indication category (osteoarthritis/other elective/acute). Waiting list outcomes including QALYs were estimated by modelling virtual waiting lists including 0%, 5% and 10% extra capacity.

Objective

Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) and Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) bring relief of pain and functional disability to patients with end stage osteoarthritis, however the literature on their impact on patients’ level of physical activity (PA) is scarce.

Methods

Cross-sectional study, performed in 2012, in 515 patients who underwent THA/TKA surgery in 2010–2011 and a random sample of persons aged >40 years from the Dutch general population participating in a national survey in the same period. PA in minutes per week (min/week) and adherence to the Dutch recommendation for health enhancing PA was measured by means of the Short QUestionnaire to ASsess Health enhancing PA (SQUASH) Additional assessments included socio-demographic characteristics, the presence of comorbidities, BMI and Short Form-12. Multivariable linear (total min/week) and logistic regression analyses (meeting PA recommendation), adjusting for confounders, were performed for THA and TKA separately.
