Abstract: | BackgroundObesity is a growing public health concern. This study aims to identify the association of body mass index (BMI) on postoperative Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS-12) in patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA).MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed 2130 patients at a single urban, academic, tertiary institution who underwent primary THA from 2016-2020 with available postoperative FJS-12 scores. Patients were stratified into two groups based on their BMI (kg/m2):<30 (nonobese) and ≥30 (obese). FJS-12 scores were collected postoperatively at 3 months, 1 year, and 2 years. Demographic differences were assessed with chi-square and independent sample t-tests. Mean scores between the groups were compared using multilinear regression analysis, controlling for demographic differences.ResultsOf the 2130 patients included, 1378 were nonobese, and 752 were obese. Although obese patients reported lower FJS-12 scores all time periods, there were no statistical differences between the two groups at 3 months (53.61 vs 49.62;P = .689), 1 year (68.11 vs 62.45; P = .349), and 2 years (73.60 vs 65.58; P = .102). A subanalysis comparing patients who were of normal BMI (<25), overweight (25.0-29.9), and obese (≥30) followed a similar inverse trend in scores but showed no statistical differences at all postoperative time points (3m:P = .612,1y:P = .607,2y:P = .253). Mean improvement in FJS-12 scores from 3 months to 1 year (14.50 vs 12.83; P = .041), 1 year to 2 years (5.49 vs 3.13; P = .004), and from 3 months to 2 years (20.00 vs15.96; P < .001) were significantly greater for nonobese patients compared to obese patients.ConclusionWhile obesity trended toward lower FJS-12 scores, the differences in scores were not statistically significant compared to nonobese patients. BMI did not influence overall FJS-12 scores; however, obese patients achieved a slightly smaller statistical improvement during the first 2 years, though this may not be clinically significant.Level III EvidenceRetrospective Cohort Study. |
