Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examines the status of economic evaluation, quality of life (QOL), and care of osteoarthritis patients undergoing surgery and conservative therapy. The subjects, 80- to 85-year-old patients with osteoarthritis of the knee and hip, were orthopedic outpatients in Hospital. In total, 54 older patients (43 women, mean age of 82.6 years) were considered and divided into three groups: surgery before five years (S1) or within five years (S2) and conservative therapy (NS). In the S1 and NS groups, 42.9% and 15.4% of the patients could walk independently. The QOL score of the physical component was 48.0 and 38.8 in the S1 and NS groups respectively. In the S2 group there was no significant difference in medical costs before and after surgery. However, medical costs decreased for 15 patients (55.6%).

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
超高齢化社会を迎えた国民皆保険のわが国において、どのような医療的介入が患者のQOL(生活の質)を高め、効果的に医療費を軽減させているのかについて検討することは重要である。本研究結果は80歳以上の股関節症・膝関節疾患患者を対象とし、高齢であっても手術療法を行ったほうがQOLが良く、医療費の削減に効果がある可能性を示唆した。
