What is Socioeconomic Status and Use of Analgesic Drugs Before and After Primary Hip Arthroplasty: a Population-based Cohort Study of 103,209 Patients During 1996–2018 about?
## Background and purpose Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an effective and common procedure. However, persistent pain and analgesic requirement up to 2 years after THA surgery are common. We examined the trends in the utilization of analgesics before and after THA, overall, and in relation to socioeconomic status (SES) in a populationbased cohort. ## Patients and methods We used the Danish Hip Arthroplasty Register to identify 103,209 patients who underwent THA between 1996 and 2018. Data on prescriptions and SES markers was obtained from Danish medical databases. Prevalence rates of redeemed prescriptions for analgesics with 95% confidence intervals were calculated for 4 quarters before and 4 quarters after THA for the entire THA population, and by 3 SES markers (education, cohabiting status, and wealth). ## Results Overall, the prevalence of analgesic use prior to surgery was 42% at 9–12 months and 59% at 0–3 months before the THA. The prevalence of analgesics reached its highest at 64% 0–3 months after THA but declined to 27% at 9–12 months after THA. Low education, living alone, and having low wealth (low SES) were associated with higher prevalence of analgesics use both before
