What is Examination of Exclusion Criteria in Total Knee Arthroplasty Rehabilitation Trials: Influence on the Application of Evidence in Day‐to‐day Practice about?
## Abstract ## Objective Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) rehabilitation trials use exclusion criteria, which may limit their generalizability in practice. We investigated whether patients seen in routine practice who meet common exclusion criteria recover differently from TKA compared to research‐eligible patients. We hypothesized that research‐ineligible patients would demonstrate poorer average postoperative function and slower rate of functional recovery compared to research‐eligible patients. ## Methods Patient characteristics and exclusion criteria were extracted and summarized from trials included in the three most recent systematic reviews of TKA rehabilitation. Trial participant characteristics were compared to a clinical dataset of patient outcomes collected in routine TKA rehabilitation. Where possible, individual exclusion criterion from the trials were applied to the clinical dataset to determine “eligible” and “ineligible” groups for research participation. Postoperative functional outcomes including the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and Timed Up and Go (TUG) were compared between “eligible” and “ineligible” groups using mixed eff
