Predictors of Health-Related Quality of Life After Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty for Aseptic Loosening.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundFew studies have investigated the relationships between preoperative or intraoperative patient factors and postoperative quality of life (QOL) after revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). The aim of our study was to identify the predictors of QOL after revision THA for aseptic loosening. MATERIALS AND
methodsFifty-one patients who underwent revision THA for aseptic loosening were included in the present study. Preoperative hip function was evaluated using the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score. The patients' QOL after surgery was evaluated with EuroQol 5D (EQ-5D) assessment at the end of the 2-year follow-up. The patients were then divided into two groups: good QOL (score ≥ 0.6) and poor QOL (score < 0.6). Predictive factors (i.e., age, BMI, preoperative JOA score, and the degree of acetabular bone defect according to the Paprosky classification) were compared between both QOL groups. Furthermore, multiple linear regression was performed to assess independent factors affecting the QOL.
resultsSignificant differences between the good and poor QOL groups were identified for BMI, walking ability, and severity of acetabular bone defect (BMI: 21.5 ± 2.9 vs. 24.1 ± 4.3,
conclusionsThe present study indicates that a higher BMI, lower walking ability, and more severe acetabular bone defect are predictors of lower QOL after revision THA for aseptic loosening. In particular, the walking ability was the only independent factor. Thus, surgeons should pay attention to the postoperative management of patients with these risk factors.
