[Discharge readiness versus discharge-Results of the PROMISE study].
Article in Der Orthopade, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundIn the context of optimized treatment processes for knee and hip replacements, lengths of stay are given for Germany that clearly exceed the internationally published ones. In this context, the present analysis of data from the PROMISE study deals with the relationship between discharge readiness and discharge.
methodsIn the PROMISE study, a jointly developed, optimized standard of care was established in three hospitals of different levels of care and realized for a typical, largely unselected cohort of patients. Among others, data were collected on achievement of discharge criteria (DC) and actual discharge. Univariate comparisons were performed by chi-square tests or the Mann-Whitney‑U tests.
resultsA total of 1782 patients were included, of whom a mean of 85.3% achieved all previously defined DCs at a mean of 2.4 (median 2) days postoperatively. Discharge for this group occurred after a mean of 5.4 (median 5) days. 14.7% of the participants did not achieve at least one DC. This group was discharged after a mean of 6.5 (median 6) days. Significant differences in outcomes were observed for different subgroups.
conclusionThe so-called DCs are used as relative criteria. Achievement generally does not result in timely discharge. If this were to happen, internationally established lengths of stay would also be a reality in Germany. What actually determines discharge from inpatient treatment remains open. A variety of medical, organizational, structural and financial factors could be of importance.
