Abstract
Aim: To observe quality of life in THR patients. Objectives: To observe the quality of life before THR To observe quality of life after THR. To compare pre operative and post operative quality of life in THR Material and Methods: In this study 50 subjects were included as sample size. List of THR subjects was collected from local super specialty hospital. Subjects were communicated through telecommunication media and survey was done. Two questionnaires that are WOMAC and EQ-5D (VAS) were asked of pre and post health status. Results: Before the THR, the mean score of WOMAC was found to be 86.3 and After the THR, the mean score of WOMAC was found to be 39.82 respectively. It also shows extremely significant difference between pre and post scores of WOMAC as the p value is found to be less than 0.05. Before the THR, the mean score of EQ-5D (vas) was found to be 4.18 and After the THR, the mean score of EQ-5D (VAS) was found to be 5.82 respectively. It also shows extremely significant difference between pre and post scores of EQ-5D (VAS) as the p value is found to be less than 0.05. Conclusion: As the post operative scores of WOMAC and EQ-5D(VAS) showed significant improvement in the health outcomes, it can be said that the quality of life improves after THR.
