Linear mixed effects regression of outcome on study visit-by-surgery type interaction. All models included confounders of age, sex, and BMI. Additional confounders include arthritis cause and previous surgery for FAAM ADL; employment for FAAM Sport; employment, depression and/or anxiety history, and current smoking for SF-36 MCS; and previous surgery, depression and/or anxiety history, FCI, and current smoking for present pain. Site and patient within site were modeled as random. The p values were derived with the omnibus test to determine significant improvement in outcome across the study follow-up period (first 2 columns) or the differences in improvement by surgery type (third column). Differences in bold are significant (p < 0.05) after adjustment for multiple comparisons within the same model.

The scores are given as the mean and standard deviation with or without the 95% CI in parentheses.
