Association of gender with EQ-5D-5L dimensions of total knee arthroplasty over time

Legend: Values are odds ratio and their 95% CI for female gender; significant Odds ratio at a **95% and ***99% significance level, FU = Follow-up; Notes: Confidence intervals are set to 95%. For TKA, coefficients of the control variables related to age, Elixhauser Comorbidity Index, WOMAC, pain, severity of joint destruction in rheumatic diseases, pre-operative findings, patient clinical complexity level (PCCL, a measure for the degree comorbidities), walking distance and aid at admission were included in the pre-surgical dimensions, while post-operative condition, surgery duration, walking distance and aid at discharge were added to the post-operative regressions, too. Additionally, pre-surgical EQ-5D-5L dimensions were included in the post-operative regressions to avoid omitting the effect of pre-surgical conditions on post-surgical outcomes. The coefficients of the control variables are attached to Online Resource 6
