Lack of Demographic Information in THA/TKA
Study on the shortcoming of SDOH variable inclusion in THA/TKA randomized controlled trial publications presented by Katelynn Donnelly MS, a third-year medical student at LSUHSC New Orleans, at the AAHKS Annual Meeting.
This is a critically important study. The data produced from studies that do not include SDOH variables are being used by insurers and policy makers to ration care. These decisions are not representative of real-world scenarios.
