Satisfied with the worst health outcomes or unsatisfied with the best: explaining the divergence between good patient-reported outcomes and low satisfaction and vice versa among knee arthroplasty patients – a retrospective cohort study
Addressing individual health concerns, e.g. through expectation management, and assessing alternative treatment options might improve satisfaction in line with functional improvements. A closer evaluation at which physical impairment level surgery is beneficial could help to improve the care of Satisfied Non-Achievers.
