Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Some data collected in this study will involve no direct patient involvement and will be obtained via medical records, including demographic characteristics and admission details including length of hospital stay (days) and analgesia consumption. The patients in this study will also be directly involved in completing physical assessments and surveys before their surgery, these include:
Knee Range of motion - 2 minutes
Walking distance - 2 minutes
EQ5D Survey of self-reported function - 10 minutes
Oxford Knee Score Survey of self-reported function - 10 minutes
Brief resilience Survey - 5 minutes
Pain Catastrophising Scale Survey - 10 minutes

All data will be collected by a registered physiotherapist. Observational period is from two weeks prior to surgery to discharge from the acute hospital setting following surgery.

Summary
Brief summary
Within Gold Coast Health all patients the average length of stay for patients who have their knee joint replaced (total knee arthroplasty) is between three to five days, however, variation exists. During the stay, PRN analgesics are frequently used by the patients to relieve post operative pain. This study aims to investigate the correlation between pre-operative factors, such as resilience score and physical function on post operative length of stay/PRN analgesia use. Thus, it may provide opportunities for clinicians to optimise patient’s pre operative status, which would have the potential to reduce both length of hospital stay and PRN analgesia use.
