CHICAGO — The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Registry Program announced the availability of two new clinical data reports that offer actionable information to guide physician and patient decision-making to improve care.
The American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR) 2021 Annual Report Supplement includes data submitted to the AJRR by 1,152 institutions through June 2021, covering procedures from 2012 to 2020, according to a press release from the AAOS. The release noted the supplement includes reporting of device-specific cumulative percent revision estimates drawn from the registry’s linkage with CMS claims data, as well as data from patients with a prior diagnosis of COVID-19 whose information was submitted to the AJRR through the capture of appropriate ICD-10 coding.
“The AJRR supplement provides the most comprehensive picture to date of patterns of hip and knee arthroplasty practice and outcomes in the United States,” James A. Browne, MD, FAAOS, chair of the AJRR Publications Subcommittee and editor of AJRR Publications, said in the release. “Last year, we added ICD-10 coding to the AAOS Registry Program with the goal of monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on outcomes, trends of surgery based on the pause in elective surgery and the trends of patient-reported outcomes due to delayed procedures. This report not only offers a look at the initial data as it relates to quality of care, but also previews the impact of COVID-19 on CMS value-based payment models and coverage for patients recovering from COVID-19.”
The second clinical data report is the AAOS Patient-Facing Registry Report, which the release noted provides a general registry overview and features information on the musculoskeletal health data captured by each of the registries in the AAOS Registry Program. The release noted the AAOS Patient-Facing Registry Report includes information about patient-reported outcome measures in addition to high-level summaries of injuries, diseases and procedures collected within the registry.
“With the publication of the AAOS Patient-Facing Registry Report, I realize that I can play a meaningful role in improving care for myself and future surgery patients by participating in the surveys provided by my health care provider,” Richard Seiden, AAOS Public Advisory Board Member, said in the release. “The report aggregates my responses with others’ to help surgeons and clinical teams to monitor patients’ recovery, pain levels and return to daily activities. My survey responses provide direct personal input into a larger quality improvement effort and – over time – help to improve the processes, protocols, device selective and recovery techniques available to other patients in the future.”
Both clinical data reports were released at the AAOS Annual Meeting and are available at https://www.aaos.org/registries/publications/ajrr-annual-report/.
