Brief summary
The primary aim of this study will be to determine if a pre-operative questionnaire, the ARISE tool, can predict discharge destination to home or inpatient rehabilitation following primary total knee replacement surgery. Existing tools have been criticised for not being predictive of "moderate" scorers, only predictive of those scoring in the high or low range categories. The ARISE tool is designed to capture additional information around a patient's beliefs rather than demographic features such as age and gender etc alone.
Interventions
Patients undergoing Total Knee Replacement for Osteoarthritis will be asked to complete a pre-operative survey (ARISE rehabilitation screening tool). Patients will be observed from admission for their total knee replacement surgery until their discharge from the hospital. The ARISE (Arthroplasty Rehabilitation Initial Screening Evaluation) tool will be used for the first time in this study, question responses will undergo statistical analysis to determine level of predictability for discharge destination. The ARISE tool consists of 13 questions across 4 health domains and should take approximately 5 minutes or less to complete. The ARISE tool will also be assessed with regards to it's correlation to the well-validated EQ5D tool which participants will be asked to complete at the same time.
