Estudio de calidad de vida de pacientes con coxartrosis.
2015
Hip replacement secondary to osteoarthritis is one of the most performed surgeries in orthopaedic
surgery. Osteoarthritis produces a severe functional limitation that invalidates patients and makes them dependent for their daily activities. It is calculated the quality of life provided by hip replacement procedure in 85
osteoarthritis patients using the “EQ-5D”. The mean preoperative score was 0.222 ± 0.320 and the postoperative
score 0.794 ± 0.251. The increase in quality of life according to patients age followed a descendent tendency (β=
−0.010), without a statitically relationship (p=0.214). The increase in quality of life was not conditioned by infection (p>0.5), length of stay (p>0.5) or length of the procedure (p>0.5). Joint replacement has changed the lives of
many patients, increasing their quality of life, mainly in osteoarthritis patients compared to patients with other
diagnosis.
