Objective:

To evaluate the trend of the NarxCare ORS from preoperative to 1-year postoperatively and the association between preoperative ORS and the achievement of clinically meaningful improvements in PROMs and patient satisfaction at 1 year.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • NarxCare ORS > 100 correlates with poorer improvements in PROMs at 1 year postoperatively.
    • Higher preoperative ORS is associated with increased dissatisfaction at 1 year postoperatively.
    Interpretation:

    Understanding the relationship between NarxCare ORS and PROMs is crucial for evaluating THA outcomes from the patient's perspective.

    Limitations:
    • The study is retrospective, which may introduce bias.
    • The analysis is limited to a single academic center, potentially affecting generalizability.
    Conclusion:

    The study highlights the association between preoperative NarxCare ORS and postoperative outcomes and patient satisfaction following THA.
