Although TKA is a common and proven reliable procedure for treating end-stage knee osteoarthritis, a minority of patients still do not achieve satisfactory levels of pain relief and functional improvement. Even though several studies have attempted to identify patients at risk of having poor clinical outcomes, few have approached this issue by considering the outcome of the patient-acceptable symptom state (PASS), defined as the value on a patient-reported outcome measure scale above which the patient deems their current symptom state acceptable.
