SummaryObjectiveThere is limited evidence on social, educational, and occupational factors as predictors of response to total hip replacement (THR).

Non-response was defined a gain of <20 points in WOMAC score over a 6 months period and was analyzed with respect to six socioeconomic parameters. Multiple logistic regression modeling was applied to adjust for age, sex, BMI, co-morbidity, and preoperative functional status.Result...
