Association between multimorbidity and quality of life after hip replacement surgery: analysis of routinely collected patient-reported outcomes
Main finding · Poor QoL outcomes (unchanged/mixed/worse)Result — go to the resultOdds ratio 1.53 95% CI 1.49–1.58Authors' conclusion
Hip replacement surgery improves QoL. However, patients with multimorbidity are less likely to experience these benefits.
Study context
- Population
- Patients undergoing total hip replacement in the NHS England Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) database, April 2013 to March 2018of 216,191 with complete data
- Participants

- Exposure
- Multimorbidity vs no multimorbidity
- Multimorbidityn = 38,384
- Outcome
- Change in QoL (EQ-5D) using the Pareto Classification of Health Change
- Follow-up
