摘要
Background:Continuity of primary care (CPC) improves patient well-being, but the association between CPC and surgical outcomes has not been well studied. The numbers of joint replacement procedures are expected to rise considerably in the coming years, so it is crucial to identify factors related to successful outcomes. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between CPC and emergency department (ED) visits after knee and hip replacement surgery.Methods:Physician claims and hospital data from 2005 to 2020 in Nova Scotia were used in this retrospective study. To measure CPC, we used the Modified Modified Continuity Index (MMCI), which is the number of primary care providers adjusted for the total number of visits. The outcome was ED visits within 90 days of discharge. Logistic regression was used to test for associations between MMCI and the probability of an ED visit.Results:There were 28 574 knee and 16 767 hip procedures in the data set; 13.9% (95% confidence interval [CI] 13.5%-14.3%) and 13.5% (95% CI 13.0%-14.0%) of the patients, respectively, had an ED visit within 90 days. For patients who underwent knee procedures, the mean MMCI was 0.868 (95% CI 0.867-0.870); 10.7% (95% CI 10.4 %-11.1 %) had perfect continuity of care. For patients who underwent hip procedures, the corresponding measures were 0.864 (95% CI 0.862-0.866) and 13.5% (95% CI 13.0%-14.0%). There was a statistically significant negative association between greater continuity of care and the probability of an ED visit after controlling for confounders.Conclusion:Having multiple primary care providers before surgery increased the likelihood of negative outcomes following knee or hip replacement surgery compared with having a single provider. Presurgical conversations should include primary care history to improve postsurgical outcomes. Contexte:La continuite des soins primaires ameliore le bien-etre des patients, mais le lien entre la continuite et l'issue des interventions chirurgicales n'a pas ete bien etudie. On s'attend a ce que le nombre d'interventions pour protheses articulaires augmente beaucoup d'ici les prochaines annees. Il est donc crucial d'identifier les facteurs propices a une issue favorable. Le but de cette etude etait d'analyser le lien entre la continuite des soins en medecine de soins primaires et les consultations dans les services d'urgence apres une chirurgie pour prothese de la hanche et du genou.Methodes:Nous avons utilise les donnees sur la remuneration des medecins et les donnees hospitalieres de 2005 a 2020 en Nouvelle-ecosse pour cette etude retrospective. Afin d'evaluer la continuite des soins, nous avons utilise l'Indice de continuite modifie-modifie (ICMM), qui correspond au nombre de dispensateurs de soins primaires ajuste en fonction du nombre total de consultations. Le parametre etait les consultations au service des urgences dans les 90 jours suivant le conge. Nous avons applique la regression logistique pour tester les liens entre l'ICMM et la probabilite de consultations dans un service d'urgence.Resultats:L'ensemble de donnees comptait 28 574 interventions pour le genou et 16 767 pour la hanche; 13,9 % (intervalle de confiance [IC] de 95 % 13,5 %-14,3 %) et 13,5 % (IC de 95 % 13,0 %-14,0 %), respectivement, des malades ont consulte un service d'urgence dans les 90 jours. Pour les malades ayant recu une prothese du genou, l'ICMM moyen a ete de 0,868 (IC de 95 % 0,867-0,870); 10,7 % (IC de 95 % 10,4 %-11,1 %) ont beneficie d'une parfaite continuite de soins. Pour les patients ayant recu une prothese de la hanche, les mesures correspondantes ont ete de 0,864 (IC de 95 % 0,862-0,866) et 13,5 % (IC de 95 % 13,0 %-14,0 %). On a observe un lien negatif statistiquement significatif entre une solide continuite des soins et les probabilites d'une consultation dans un service d'urgence, apres la prise en compte des variables de confusion.Conclusion:Avoir consulte differents professionnels de la sante avant la chirurgie a accentue les risques d'une issue negative apres une intervention pour prothese du genou ou de la hanche, comparativement a n'en avoir consulte qu'un seul. Les discussions precedant l'intervention doivent inclure un historique des soins primaires pour ameliorer les resultats postoperatoires.
