Decision Support Strategies for Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis: Less Is More A Randomized Comparative Effectiveness Trial (DECIDE-OA Study)

摘要

Background: As guidelines and payers increasingly recommend use of patient decision aids (DAs), evidence about the comparative effectiveness of available DAs is critical for organizations interested in implementing them. The primary purpose of this study was to compare 2 DAs with regard to their ability to help patients become informed and receive their preferred treatment (that is, make an informed patient-centered decision), shared decision-making, surgical rates, and surgeon satisfaction.
