Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is often very successful in patients with severe hip pain and endstage-
osteoarthritis; however a minority of patients has less favorable outcomes.
Aim: To investigate whether patients’ preoperative mental health is a predictor for patient-reported outcome
(PRO) after THA.
Method: The prospective cohort study included 207 patients over a 14-month period, with two follow-ups.
Patients completed the Common Mental Disorders – Screening Questionnaire, Oxford Hip Score, and Euro Qol 5
Dimension questionnaire before surgery and at twelve and 52 weeks after surgery. Data were analysed by multiple
linear regression and t-tests.
Results: Significantly improvement outcomes between baseline and postoperative follow-ups were reported.
