Abstract

Purpose: To analyze the association between patients' neighborhood level of socioeconomic disadvantage according to their Area Deprivation Index (ADI) and (1) delays between anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), and (2) concomitant knee injuries at the time of treatment.

Methods: This was a retrospective study of consecutive patients aged 18 years or older who underwent an ACLR at a single academic institution between 2015 and 2021. Each patient's home address was mapped to obtain their ADI to determine their level of socioeconomic disadvantage. Patients were categorized by their ADI score into 3 groups: least disadvantaged (ADI scores 0-3), middle group (ADI scores 4-6), and most disadvantaged (ADI scores 7-10). Time-to-event multivariable Cox proportional-hazard analysis was used to assess the association between ADI groups and delays in ACLR while controlling for relevant demographic, clinical, and surgical variables. Additional multivariable logistic regression analyses assessed this relationship using clinically relevant time thresholds of 12 weeks and 6 months between the time of injury and ACLR.

Results: We identified 383 patients for inclusion. Patients in the most disadvantaged group had an increased incidence of concomitant meniscectomies performed at the time of ACLR for irreparable tears (51.5% vs 34.8% [least disadvantaged], P = .04). Multivariate analysis revealed patients in the most disadvantaged group were at significant risk of delayed ACLR (hazard ratio, 1.36; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.02-1.86; P = .04), with a 2.24 times risk of delays >12 weeks (95% CI, 1.13-4.44, P = .02), and a 2.36 times risk of delays >6 months (95% CI, 1.2-4.65, P = .01). Non-White race was similarly associated with significant risk of ACLR delays >3 (odds ratio, 2.02; 95% CI, 1.22-3.33; P = .006) and 6 months (OR, 1.77; 95% CI, 1.06-2.95; P = .03).

Conclusions: Socioeconomically disadvantaged and non-White patients who sustain ACL tears are at a greater risk of delays in the time of injury to ACLR and for undergoing a concomitant meniscectomy.

Level of evidence: Level IV, retrospective case series.

社会经济状况不佳与前十字韧带重建术的延迟和同时进行半月板切除术的比例较高有关。
目的:根据地区贫困指数(ADI)分析患者所在社区的社会经济贫困水平与(1)前交叉韧带(ACL)损伤和前交叉韧带重建(ACLR)之间的延迟,以及(2)治疗时并发的膝关节损伤之间的关联:这是一项回顾性研究,研究对象是 2015-2021 年间在一家学术机构接受前交叉韧带重建手术的 18 岁或以上连续患者。对每位患者的家庭住址进行摸底,以获得其 ADI,从而确定其社会经济弱势水平。根据 ADI 分数将患者分为三组:最贫困组(ADI 分数为 0-3 分)、中等组(ADI 分数为 4-6 分)和最贫困组(ADI 分数为 7-10 分)。时间到事件多变量 Cox 比例危险分析评估了 ADI 组别与 ACLR 延误之间的关系,同时控制了相关的人口统计学、临床和手术变量。其他多变量逻辑回归分析使用受伤时间与 ACLR 之间 12 周和 6 个月的临床相关时间阈值评估了这种关系:我们确定了 383 名患者纳入研究。处境最不利组患者在前交叉韧带重建时因不可修复的撕裂而同时进行半月板切除术的发生率更高(51.5% 对 34.8%(处境最不利组),P=0.04)。多变量分析显示,处境最不利组患者的前交叉韧带重建延迟风险显著(HR:1.36,95% CI:1.02-1.86,P=0.04),延迟超过12周的风险为2.24倍(95% CI:1.13-4.44,P=0.02),延迟超过6个月的风险为2.36倍(95% CI:1.2-4.65,P=0.01)。非白种人同样与 ACLR 延迟超过 3 个月(OR:2.02,95%CI:1.22-3.33,P=0.006)和 6 个月(OR:1.77,95%CI:1.06-2.95,P=0.03)的显著风险相关:结论:社会经济条件较差的非白人前交叉韧带撕裂患者从受伤到进行前交叉韧带修复术的时间延迟以及同时接受半月板切除术的风险较高。

期刊介绍: Nowhere is minimally invasive surgery explained better than in Arthroscopy, the leading peer-reviewed journal in the field. Every issue enables you to put into perspective the usefulness of the various emerging arthroscopic techniques. The advantages and disadvantages of these methods -- along with their applications in various situations -- are discussed in relation to their efficiency, efficacy and cost benefit. As a special incentive, paid subscribers also receive access to the journal expanded website.
