Résumé
Web-based patient engagement portals are increasing in popularity after total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA and TKA). The literature is mixed regarding patient utilization of these modalities and potential clinical benefit. We sought to determine which demographic factors are associated with increased platform participation and to quantify the impact of a web-based patient portal on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). We performed a retrospective analysis of consecutive primary THA (n = 554) and TKA (n = 485) at a single academic institution with minimum follow-up of 12 months. Patients were divided into those who opted-in and those who opted-out of portal use. Global health and joint-specific PROMs were collected preoperatively and postoperatively. Linear mixed effects modeling, bivariate analysis, and logistic regression were utilized. Of the 1039 included patients, 60.6% (336) THA and 62.7% (304) TKA patients enrolled in the portal. Those who opted-in were younger (P < .001, P < .003), had higher body mass index (P = .024, P = .011), and had a higher household income (P < .001, P < .001) in THA and TKA cohorts, respectively. Portal participation in the TKA but not the THA cohort was associated with significant improvement in physical function (P = .017) and joint-specific function (P = .045). For THA patients who opted-in, increased portal logins were associated with more rapid improvement and higher functional scores (P = .013). There is an inherent difference between patients who opt-in to and those who opt-out of web-based portals. Added resources and support provided by portals may translate to improved PROMs for TKA patients but not THA patients.

BACKGROUND
Web-based patient engagement portals are increasing in popularity after total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA and TKA). The literature is mixed regarding patient utilization of these modalities and potential clinical benefit. We sought to determine which demographic factors are associated with increased platform participation and to quantify the impact of a web-based patient portal on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).
METHODS
We performed a retrospective analysis of consecutive primary THA (n = 554) and TKA (n = 485) at a single academic institution with minimum follow-up of 12 months. Patients were divided into those who opted-in and those who opted-out of portal use. Global health and joint-specific PROMs were collected preoperatively and postoperatively. Linear mixed effects modeling, bivariate analysis, and logistic regression were utilized.
RESULTS
Of the 1039 included patients, 60.6% (336) THA and 62.7% (304) TKA patients enrolled in the portal. Those who opted-in were younger (P < .001, P < .003), had higher body mass index (P = .024, P = .011), and had a higher household income (P < .001, P < .001) in THA and TKA cohorts, respectively. Portal participation in the TKA but not the THA cohort was associated with significant improvement in physical function (P = .017) and joint-specific function (P = .045). For THA patients who opted-in, increased portal logins were associated with more rapid improvement and higher functional scores (P = .013).
CONCLUSION
There is an inherent difference between patients who opt-in to and those who opt-out of web-based portals. Added resources and support provided by portals may translate to improved PROMs for TKA patients but not THA patients.
