ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | 2
TJR
Executive Summary In October 2010, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality awarded a program project grant to the University of Massachusetts Medical School following a competitive application process. Since that time, the Function and Outcomes Research for Comparative Effectiveness in Total Joint Replacement (FORCE-‐TJR) program has established a novel TJR registry with a national sample of US patients and surgeons to conduct comparative effectiveness research. As of June 2014, over 20,000 patients were enrolled from 136 surgeons in 22 states, with hundreds more patients enrolled weekly. FORCE-‐TJR is the first US national cohort of TJR patients representing all regions of the US, with varied practice settings (e.g., urban and rural, high and low volume) to collect comprehensive TJR outcome data. FORCE-‐TJR data are collected directly from patients, including patient-‐reported outcomes of pain and function, early post-‐operative adverse events, and implant failures, assuring more than 85% response for valid, longitudinal analyses. Patient-‐reported data are augmented with clinical data from surgeons and hospitals.
FORCE-‐TJR research is underway and will continue indefinitely as patients signed a consent allowing annual follow-‐up for years into the future. During the past year alone, FORCE-‐TJR delivered over 50 presentations at eight national and international meetings to broadly disseminate the research power of the database, 10 manuscripts are under review or were published, and seven ancillary grants are under review. The rapidly expanding FORCE-‐TJR Bibliography is attached to this report.
Beyond research, the FORCE-‐TJR registry provides comprehensive, comparative arthroplasty practice feedback to TJR surgeons to support quality improvement efforts. In addition, these data can be used to meet regulatory requirements such as the CMS Patient Quality Reporting System, and value-‐based proposals for accountable care. Site-‐specific comparisons of patient risk factors and outcomes allow surgeons to understand the similarities and differences among their patients and practices.
In less than four years, the FORCE-‐TJR infrastructure and expertise has emerged as a leader in the orthopedic community in patient-‐reported outcome collection and interpretation, clinical care and implant surveillance, and best practice models to assure consistent TJR patient outcomes.
In brief, FORCE-‐TJR impacts a wide array of stakeholders.
o For Patients: While electronic medical records systems struggle to collect, score and integrate patient-‐reported outcomes (PROs), FORCE-‐TJR deployed a web-‐based system that collects, scores, and trends over time PROs to guide
As a former educator, I
think that research is so
important. I was amazed at
how much my joint problem
affected my quality of life
before my first hip was
replaced. I’m looking
forward to having my other
hip replaced by the same
surgeon, and am happy to
participate in the FORCE-
TJR Registry if it will help
anybody.

care for tens of thousands of TJR patients served by member surgeons. New real-‐time patient-‐reported outcome scoring allows the patient and surgeon to view trended pain and function (both decline and improvement) before and after TJR. Before surgery, patient pain and disability scores can be compared to national TJR norms when determining the timing for surgery. After TJR, improvement can be quantified and care tailored to support recovery
o For Surgeons and Hospitals: Our unique national database and risk adjustment models allow FORCE-‐TJR to provide comparative valuable feedback to member surgeons to guide practice. Quarterly reports address three critical questions that previously surgeons could not answer: 1. How do my patient risk factors such as BMI and comorbidities compare to other surgeons? 2. How does the timing of patient surgery as described by pain and functional limitations compare to national practice? and 3. Is the degree of pain relief and improved function in my patients comparable to the national norm?
o For CMS and Private Insurers: CMS initiated public reporting of post-‐TJR readmissions and complications in 2014. To anticipate and monitor quality, arthroplasty surgeons need timely and risk-‐adjusted data to monitor outcomes to meet or exceed national goals. FORCE-‐TJR comparative reports support quality monitoring efforts. Second, CMS issued a draft report proposing PRO collection and analysis following TJR. Two FORCE surgeons contributed to this planning effort, and participants in the FORCE network already meet the future expectations. Finally, FORCE-‐TJR proposed collaborations with both CMS and private insurers to clarify the role of PROs in defining TJR need and outcomes. These future studies will guide efficient and effective patient selection and TJR care.
o For FDA and implant manufacturers: The FORCE-‐TJR data provide early post-‐marketing surveillance data. In contrast to registries that define implant failure as revision surgery, FORCE-‐TJR surveillance includes post-‐TJR implant complications and patient-‐reported pain, both events that precede revision surgery. FORCE is testing novel methods for monitoring implant performance using direct to patient strategies, including a pilot of an FDA developed APP for patient event reporting.
o Translational research: Ongoing ancillary research includes collection of serum and discarded cartilage to evaluate potential biomarkers for arthritis and software to aid x-‐ray interpretation.
Again, thank you for
allowing us to participate
in what I feel will be of
significant value to the
quality of care that joint
replacement surgery can
offer to the public. Also,
all three of us, and our
nurse manager, do thank
you for managing this
effort so effectively.

v FORCE-‐TJR quality improvement value
o FORCE-‐TJR QITM is expanding beyond the initial AHRQ-‐funded cohort to provide real-‐time PROs and post-‐TJR adverse event surveillance to a growing number of orthopedists. The membership model allows us to increase the number of surgeons and patients benefiting from the FORCE-‐TJR infrastructure through quality monitoring. In addition, orthopedic surgeons can use the FORCE-‐TJR data to meet the CMS Patient Quality Reporting System incentives, as well as state and regional reporting requirements.
o In parallel with CMS’ public reporting of 30 day readmission and 90 day complications following TJR, the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS) and FORCE-‐TJR collaborated to enhance the precision of the CMS risk-‐adjustment models to assure more fair and accurate comparisons. Ongoing discussions will determine how to implement this enhanced model.
o Implant evaluation. Uniquely, the rich FORCE-‐TJR clinical and patient data was merged with the international library of implant design and materials to evaluate outcomes associated with varied implant characteristics. Look for future information in the upcoming year.
While we report on the early lessons learned and activities in this report, registry data become even more valuable over time as the natural history of the patient and implant outcomes emerge. Thus, FORCE-‐TJR’s foundation will serve TJR practice and policy for years to come.
v Highlights from current analyses
o FORCE-‐TJR disseminated the early comparative effectiveness lessons learned
through more than 50 presentations at 8 national and international meetings and the research is accelerating as longitudinal data are collected.
o Some believe the shift to a younger TJR population may suggest a less
complex patient pool-‐ not so! Younger patients report the same or greater joint-‐specific and global pain and decreased function pre-‐operatively compared to older adults. In addition, patients under 65 years of age are more obese and more likely to smoke as compared to older patients.
I want to get back to where
I was before it all went in
the bucket. I want normal
mobility again. If it (the
study) paves the way for
something even better in
the future, then it’s a
worthwhile use of my time.

o Patient self-‐reported Pre-‐operative 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile pain and function scores are remarkably consistent across surgeons in FORCE suggesting comparable indications for surgery.
o While greater BMI is a risk factor for peri-‐operative complications, FORCE-‐
TJR found that at 6 months after total hip or knee replacement, patients with a BMI higher than 35, also, reported significant gains in pain relief and physical function.
o The burden of musculoskeletal comorbidities-‐ specifically moderate or severe
pain in the lumbar spine and non-‐operative hips and knees-‐ negatively affects self-‐reported function at 6 months after surgery. Future public comparisons of PROs after TJR must be cautious to adjust for co-‐existing musculoskeletal conditions.

TJR
Highlights from previously presented research
Today’s TJR patients are younger, heavier, and just as disabled
At the time of TKR and THR, younger (<65) patients have fewer medical illnesses, but higher rates of obesity and smoking as well as lower mental health scores compared to older (>65) patients.
Younger patients have the same or greater joint specific and global functional impairment compared to older patients, which suggest that surgeons use comparable standards for selecting TKR and THR candidates in younger and older adults.

Patients with high BMI report significant improvement
At 6 months after THR, all patients reported significant functional gains although patients with BMI>35 had lower mean functional gain than those with BMI<35. All patients reported excellent pain relief.
At 6 months after TKR, severely obese patients (BMI>35) reported improvements in both pain and function equal to or greater than patients with BMI<35.

Pre-op pain and function are consistent across surgeons
Consistent 25th to 75th %ile scores are reported across sites with HOOS/KOOS pain scores from 30 to 55, and PCS from 25 to 37, representing significant impairment.
Despite the large numbers of patients electing THR and TKR, pre-‐operative pain and function scores suggest consistent patient selection across surgeons of significantly impaired adults. These data suggest the growing TKA and THR utilization is reaching appropriate patients.

Pre-operative musculoskeletal comorbidities limit post-op gain in function
Predictors of change in pre-‐to-‐6 month post-‐THR and post-‐TKR pain and function were examined using linear mixed models adjusting for clustering within site in the first 5300 patients (3084 TKR; 2233 THR).
After adjusting for sociodemographic factors, significant predictors of poorer 6 month post-‐THR pain included poorer pre-‐operative emotional health, poorer physical function, and any lumbar pain at time of surgery. These factors, as well as greater BMI and moderate/severe pain in the non-‐operative knees and hips, predicted poorer 6 month function.
Significant predictors of poorer 6 month post-‐TKR pain included poorer emotional health, higher Charlson comorbidity scores and any lumbar pain at time of surgery. These factors also predicted poorer 6 month function.

FORCE-TJR Implant Research
Understanding implant performance in patients with specific clinical profiles
The FORCE-‐TJR implant library includes over 54,000 components of TKR and THR implants from all US manufacturers. To assure uniform component definitions, the FORCE-‐TJR implant library was merged with the International Consortium of Orthopedic Registries (ICOR) component library housed by the Australian Registry. The comprehensive FORCE-‐TJR database, together with the implant components, allows implant outcome analyses for sub-‐groups of patients with specific clinical profiles—something that has not been possible in other registries. Tracking patient-‐reported symptoms allows early identification of differences in implant performance.
For example, FORCE-‐TJR asked: do TKR patients under 65 years of age achieve comparable pain relief with Implant X as compared to all other implants? Figure 1 shows that a sub-‐group of patients with implant X (blue) report persistent moderate pain at 12 months post-‐TKR. The implant X pain distribution appears bimodal (blue) as compared to patients with all other implants (black). Next, at 2 and 5 years, we will determine if the sub-‐group of patients reporting greater pain at 12 months after TKR have a higher revision rate. We will also evaluate differing implants categories to identify outcome variation by design (rotating platform), material (ceramic), fixation (cementless), and other attributes.

MD website: comparative quality data
As of April 2014, over 19,000 patients were enrolled from more than 130 surgeons in 22 states. The reporting website was launched in September 2012. It has been updated quarterly for all surgeons to review their site-‐ and individual-‐specific data. A random sample of the 130 surgeons found an average of 6.2 logins per user.
Returning registry data to surgeons encourages active participation while supporting practice-‐level quality monitoring and improvement efforts in patient care. We anticipate that returning data to surgeons will facilitate complete data capture and enhance future secondary uses of the data to drive quality enhancement, in addition to patient-‐centered outcomes research.

Why is FORCE-TJR important to US patients, surgeons and policy makers?
Arthritis is a significant public health issue
n 50 million U.S. adults diagnosed with osteoarthritis (OA)
n OA is leading cause of disability in U.S. adults
n OA is #1 chronic condition among women and #2 most costly chronic condition in U.S.
n Employer costs are >$9000 per OA employee
Total joint replacement is common, costly, growing
n More than 1,000,000 Total Hip and Knee Replacement surgeries each year
n Between 1997 and 2004, aggregate charges (the ‘national bill’) for primary TJR surgeries
increased dramatically: from $8.9 billion to $50.5 billion (knees > hips).
n By 2030 the demand for THR and TKR is projected to grow by 174% and 673%, respectively
n Fastest growth among patients < 65 years of age
Patients’ goals after TJR are pain relief and functional gain
n TJR is a technically successful procedure
n Functional outcomes vary with both patient factors (e.g., gender, age, comorbidities) and
health system delivery factors (e.g., hospital volume)
International registries monitor revisions, while FORCE-TJR measures comprehensive quality and patient-reported outcomes.
n Scandinavian TJR registries have existed for decades; UK, Australia and others have parallel
registries
n US efforts emerging: American Joint Replacement Registry and state-‐based registries

Goals and benefits
Function varies widely after Total Knee Replacement (TKR)
What are FORCE-TJR research goals?
n Establish a comprehensive data collection of over 30,000 diverse patients from 130
orthopedic surgeons representing all regions of the US and varied hospital/surgeon practice
settings (e.g., urban/rural, low and high volume).
n Data collection platform will minimize patient and surgeon data entry burden, emphasize
patient-‐reported data, collect most information at the time of surgery, and use Internet
technology to minimize data entry.
n Conduct research to guide surgical practice to optimize function and patient outcomes.
Construct, validate, and refine prediction algorithms for patients at risk for lack of post-‐TJR
functional gain, and for optimal TJR outcomes. Develop a survey platform to answer
questions related to TJR benefits among working-‐age adults and issues of disparities.
