PMS3 A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF PATIENTS TREATED WITH MINIMAL INVASIVE ANTERIOR HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERY AND NON-SURGICAL PATIENTS

Abstract

The aim of the study was to assess the quality of life of patients with minimal invasive anterior hip replacement and a group of non-surgical patients with a standardized and a self-edited questionnaire. In the study, we used the SF-36 questionnaire (36-item Short Form Health Survey) and a self-edited questionnaire. 40 patients filled in the questionnaire, 20 patients in the minimally invasive anterior hip replacement group (G1 intervention group), and 20 patients involved the non-surgically treated individuals of similar age (G2 control group). Microsoft Office Excel 2016 was used for statistical analysis. In the program, average, percentage, and samples of t-test data were calculated. There was no significant difference between the quality of life between the two groups examined (G1:82.86; G2:80.53 p=0.2512). Regarding the groups of questions including physical activity (G1:78; G2:81.75 p=0.5177), role limitations due to physical problems (G1:78.75; G2:73.75 p=0.4915), physical pain (G1:82.75; G2:78.63 p=0.4852), general health perception (G1:62; G1:64 p=0.6529), vitality (G1:82.5; G2:80.25 p=0.5387), social activity (G1:95.63; G2:91.88; p=0.3298), role limitation due to emotional problems (G1:91.67; G2:85.015; p=0.2413) and general mental health (G1:91.6; G2:89; p=0.3338), no significant difference was found between these two groups. No significant difference was found inquality of life between the group of minimal invasive anterior hip replacement and non-surgically treated patients. It can also be stated that there was no detectable difference in the responses of the two groups examined based on the questions.
