          Abstract

          Quality of life index (Quality Of Well-Being [QWB]) was used to calculate the costs per quality of well year (QWY) in total hip arthroplasty (THA) and compare it to other interventions. Ninety-eight primary and/or revision THA were reviewed. Patients had minimum 1-year follow-up. Quality of life index was used to calculate the costs per QWY in primary and revision THA. Preoperative QWB for primary THA was 0.52 ± 0.06 SD; revision was 0.53 ± 0.07 SD. The QWB change at 1 year for primary THA was 0.08 ± 0.13 SD; revision THA was 0.06 ± 0.14 SD. Calculated costs per QWY were $5572 for primary procedures and $10,775 for revision procedures. Cost-effectiveness of THA compares favorably with other surgical and medical interventions such as epilepsy ablation surgery and gastric bypass surgery.
