Evaluating Surgeon-influenced Factors for Total Knee Arthroplasty Value-based Reimbursement
In this study, modifiable perioperative variables, such as TXA, aspirin use, opioid use, LOS, and bilateral TKA, were found to markedly increase quality metrics threshold achievement and should be considered as risk variables in the current value-based care models. Future studies should investigate the effect of modifiable risk factors on quality metrics to build new risk adjustment tools that incentivize patient perioperative optimization.
