Abstract

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of the virtual clinic for outpatient follow-up care after TKR surgery.

Methods: A total of 546 TKR surgeries were performed from January 2017 to December 2019. 30 patients were not able to go the hospital for routine follow-up. The data collections were taken for age, gender, year of surgery, functional score (Oxford Knee Score (OKS)), and active range of motion (ROM). The virtual clinic was conducted with the physician assistant and the operating surgeon via WhatsApp video call (WhatsApp Inc., Mountain View, California, USA) or Zoom (Zoom Video Communications, Inc., San Jose, California, USA).

Result: The average follow-up period was 39.1 months. The earliest follow-up was 20 months, while the longest follow-up was 97 months. The average OKS score was 45. The average consultation time for the virtual clinic is 9 minutes 21 seconds. Most of the patients were satisfied with the online consultation, with only two patients having a satisfaction score below 80%.

Conclusion: The virtual clinic for TKR surgery showed a high satisfaction rate during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has the potential to extend to the postpandemic era.

COVID-19大流行期间虚拟诊所在全膝关节置换术术后随访中的作用

背景:本研究的目的是评估虚拟诊所用于TKR手术后门诊随访护理的可行性。方法:2017年1月至2019年12月共行546例TKR手术。30例患者不能到医院进行常规随访。收集的数据包括年龄、性别、手术年份、功能评分(牛津膝关节评分(OKS))和活动范围(ROM)。虚拟诊所由医师助理和手术外科医生通过WhatsApp视频通话(WhatsApp Inc.， Mountain View, California, USA)或Zoom (Zoom video Communications, Inc.， San Jose, California, USA)进行。结果:平均随访39.1个月。最早随访20个月，最长随访97个月。平均OKS得分为45分。虚拟诊所的平均咨询时间为9分21秒。大多数患者对在线咨询感到满意，只有两名患者满意度低于80%。结论:新型冠状病毒肺炎大流行期间，虚拟诊所对TKR手术的满意率较高，具有推广到后大流行时代的潜力。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
