Abstract

BACKGROUND: Attention to the collection of patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) associated with total hip arthroplasty (THA) is growing. The aim of this study was to preoperatively predict failure to achieve the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and substantial clinical benefit (SCB) between pre- and postoperative PROMs. In addition, we sought to identify factors predictive of failure to achieve MCID and SCB in patients undergoing a THA.
