In this cohort study, patients with OA and/or RA who were candidates for TKA surgery were included. Using two reliable questionnaires, i.e., WOMAC and SF-36, the quality of life of patients was examined during a period of six months (three monthly intervals) after the surgery. All data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics. Kolmogrov-Smirnov, Kendall's tau, chi-square test and K-related Non-parametric tests were used. Of the 2126 patients who underwent TKA, there were 2024 diagnosed osteoarthritis and 102 validated RA over one year. The mean ± SD of age and the average BMI were 68.0 ± 7.0 BMI 28.5 kg/m2, respectively. Regarding comorbidities and concurrent disorders, about 14% of cases were diabetic, 42% had cardiovascular diseases, 3% had respiratory disease...Continue Reading
