Text-messaging bot improves daily exercise and patient perception of care following THA and TKA .
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.
A Novel, Automated Text-Messaging System Is Effective in Patients Undergoing Total Joint Arthroplasty
J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2019 Jan 16;101(2):145-151. doi: 10.2106/JBJS.17.01505159 patients scheduled for total knee or total hip arthroplasty were randomized to patient education via an automated text messaging service (StreaMD; SMS bot group) or standard preoperative clinic appointment and perioperative instructions (control group). The purpose of this study was to determine if the SMS bot group demonstrated greater daily postoperative exercise compared to the control group over the first 6 weeks after surgery. Results demonstrated a statistically significant longer duration of daily exercise in the SMS bot group compared to the control group. In addition, significant differences in favour of the SMS bot group were observed in time to cessation of narcotic use, mood scores, calls placed to the surgeon's office in the postoperative period, and perception of motivation and satisfaction with the received intervention.
