Explanatory factors for the survival benefit among hip and knee arthroplasty patients with osteoarthritis
Our study confirmed that Dutch osteoarthritis THA/TKA patients experience better survival than the general population, but raises important questions as to the explanation. A more favorable health status and/or SES did not explain most of the survival benefit. This may be partly due to limitations of the available measures of health and SES in our study, but also leaves other explanations (e.g. barriers to receive access to care, lifestyle changes) open for further research.
