    Significant differences in cumulative revision rates (CRRs) after knee arthroplasty exist across Danish regions and hospitals.

  • 2

    The Capital Region consistently shows the highest CRR, with lower rates observed further from Copenhagen.

  • 3

    The SPARK study aims to investigate whether hospital variations in patient selection contribute to CRR differences.

  • 4

    Patient demographics, preoperative symptoms, and radiographic severity of osteoarthritis are linked to postoperative satisfaction and revision risk.

  • 5

    Ethical approval was obtained for the SPARK study, which included a diverse cohort of patients scheduled for primary knee arthroplasty.
