Willingness to repeat discharge on day of surgery after hip and knee arthroplasty.

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
Aims: The limited documentation on patients' perspectives on undergoing discharge on the day of surgery impedes its adoption as a standard of care. Hence, the aim of this study was to investigate whether patients were willing to repeat being discharged on the day of surgery if having a future hip or knee arthroplasty procedure. Methods: This multicentre, prospective consecutive cohort study spanned from 1 September 2022 to 31 January 2024, and was conducted at six public arthroplasty centres adhering to the same published protocol for discharge on the day of surgery following hip and knee arthroplasty. Patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), total knee arthroplasty (TKA), or medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (mUKA) were screened for eligibility and discharged when fulfilling predetermined discharge criteria. Patients discharged on the same calendar day of surgery were sent a questionnaire 30 days postoperatively. Results: Of 9,542 primary hip and knee arthroplasties registered, 3,457 (36%) were eligible for discharge on day of surgery; 58% of eligible patients (n = 2,011) were discharged on day of surgery and therefore received the survey. Baseline characteristics were comparable across all arthroplasty groups. The survey response rate was 88% (n = 1,771). Overall, 90% (95% CI 88 to 91) were willing to repeat discharge on the day of surgery if having a future joint arthroplasty, with 91% (95% CI 88 to 93) after THA, 89% (95% CI 86 to 92) after TKA, and 90% (95% CI 86 to 92) after mUKA. The difference between centres ranged from 84% to 93%. Patients responding 'no' to repeat discharge on the day of surgery were more often female (55%, n = 95) compared to patients responding 'yes' (47%, n = 744); otherwise, the groups were comparable. Conclusion: A total of 90% of patients (n = 1,590) discharged on the day of surgery following hip and knee arthroplasty expressed willingness to repeat discharge on the day of surgery. This supports further implementation efforts.
