| Abstract |
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) bring relief of pain and functional disability to patients with end-stage osteoarthritis, and however, the literature on their impact on patients' level of physical activity (PA) is scarce. Cross-sectional study in patients who underwent THA/TKA surgery in the preceding 6-22 months and a random sample of persons aged >40 years from the Dutch general population, participating in a national survey. PA in minutes per week (min/week) and adherence to the Dutch recommendation for PA (NNGB yes/no) were measured by the short questionnaire to assess health-enhancing PA. Multivariable linear (total min/week) and logistic regression analyses (meeting recommendations PA), adjusting for confounders, were performed for THA and TKA separately. In total, 258 THA [62.3% female, aged 69.4 (9.1)] and 221 TKA [65.7% female, aged 69.5 (8.9)] patients and 4373 persons from the Dutch general population [51.4% female, aged 58.9 (11.6)] were included. The presence of THA was associated after adjusting for age, sex, BMI education and musculoskeletal comorbidities, with more total min/week spent on PA (THA 13.8% increase, 95% CI 1.6-27.6%), whilst both TJA groups were associated with adhering to NNGB (THA: OR 1.79, 95% CI 1.26-2.56; TKA: OR 1.73, 95% CI 1.20-2.51). As this study used questionnaires to compare the PA of THA/TKA patients to the general population, some recall and selection bias might have been induced. After surgery, overall, TJA patients are more likely to adhere NNGB than a representative sample of persons >40 years from the Dutch general population. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 December 2016.
All research outputs
#7,179,949
of 22,903,988 outputs
Outputs from Rheumatology International
#749
of 2,191 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#96,474
of 270,392 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Rheumatology International
#17
of 34 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,903,988 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 68th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,191 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.6. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 65% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 270,392 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 63% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 34 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its contemporaries.
