• Rationale Total knee arthroplasty is a common surgical procedure but not appropriate for all patients with knee osteoarthritis. Patient decision aids (PtDAs) can promote shared decision making and enhance understanding and expectations of procedures among patients, resulting in better discussions between patients and healthcare providers about whether total knee arthroplasty is the most appropriate option. Aims and Objectives Evaluate impact of an individualised PtDA for osteoarthritis patients considering total knee arthroplasty 1 year after baseline assessment. Methods Prospective, randomised controlled trial comparing an intervention arm (IA) and routine care arm (RCA). The IA included an online individualised patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) based PtDA and one‐page summary report for the surgeon. We report secondary outcomes from the final assessment: patient expectations, decisional regret, patient satisfaction with outcomes of knee replacement, health‐related quality‐of‐life (HRQOL) and depression. We report changes in HRQOL between baseline and final assessments, study arms, and surgical versus non‐surgical patients. Descriptive statistics were used to describe participant characteristics and continuous variables. Dichotomous outcomes (expectations, decisional regret, satisfaction) were analyzed using logistic regression and continuous outcomes (HRQOL, depression) were modelled using linear regression. Results Overall, 140 participants completed all study assessments (IA: n = 69, RCA: n = 71); n = 108 underwent surgery (IA: n = 49, RCA: n = 59). Regardless of study arm, most participants reported expectations were met, minimal decisional regret, satisfaction with outcomes of knee replacement, and had improvements in HRQOL. While no significant differences in study outcomes were found between study arms, IA results were in the direction hypothesised in favour of the PtDA. Conclusions Although we were not able to detect statistically significant benefits associated with implementing this PROMs‐based PtDA, there was no apparent negative effect on these outcomes 1 year after baseline. We anticipate there may be benefit to implementing this PtDA earlier in the osteoarthritis care pathway where patients have more opportunities to manage their disease non‐surgically.
