Social inequalities in patient outcomes after total hip replacement surgery for osteoarthritis in England: A population-based cohort study of the National Joint Registry
Inequalities in several outcomes after THR are present in England by area-level deprivation. These findings are useful to inform shared decision-making for patients deciding whether to undergo hip replacement and to benchmark the effectiveness of policies which aim to reduce health inequalities following THR.
