original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Inpatient Compared with Home-Based Rehabilitation Following Primary Unilateral Total Hip or Knee Replacement: A Randomized Controlled Trial
J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2008 Aug;90(8):1673-80234 patients undergoing total hip or knee replacement were randomized to either receive inpatient rehabilitation or home-based rehabilitation. The results indicated that home-based rehabilitation had a reduced cost of care compared to inpatient rehabilitation. Both forms of rehabilitation had similar outcome results up to 12 months post-surgery, and this finding suggested that home-based therapy was effective and beneficial to patients that have undergone primary total joint replacement.
