Coxoartrosis, evaluación de la calidad de vida después del reemplazo articular. Revisión narrativa

Abstract

Abstract: Hip osteoarthritis is a chronic and degenerative disease that affects the older adult population, causing chronic, disabling pain that affects autonomy and, consequently, quality of life. This disease is more prevalent in patients over 40 years of age and in women. This narrative review sought to describe the quality of life of older adult patients diagnosed with primary hip osteoarthritis after undergoing total hip replacement. A literature search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and BVS. 356 articles were obtained in English and Spanish, of which 10 were selected for analysis. The included articles reflected a positive difference in quality of life in the preoperative and postoperative periods. Additionally, factors were found that can negatively affect quality of life after surgery, such as access to resources, drug supplementation, mental health prior to surgery, and, most importantly, patient satisfaction after surgery.
