Impact of telemedicine intervention on postoperative outcomes after fast-track THA .
This report has been verified
by one or more authors of the
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.
Telemedicine support shortens length of stay after fast-track hip replacement
Acta Orthop. 2017 Feb;88(1):41-4773 patients scheduled for fast-track total hip arthroplasty were randomized to a telemedicine intervention for use after scheduled discharge on postoperative day one, or to a standard pathway with training and rehabilitation on postoperative day one, and discharge on postoperative day two. Patients were assessed for mean length of stay, health-related quality-of-life, function, and readmission rate. Results demonstrated a significantly shorter length of stay in the telemedicine group compared to the control group. Health-related quality-of-life, function, and readmission rate over the 12-month follow-up were similar between groups
