Abstract
Two recent BMJ papers analyse mortality of recipients of hip replacements; they report strikingly superior survival for metal on metal resurfacing recipients relative to those getting cemented or un-cemented Total Hip Replacement (THR)1, 2. Both use observational data. In contrast, cost-effectiveness models of hip replacement, also based on observational data, have assumed that after surgical recovery the same mortality applies for all types of prosthesis, differences have been assumed or found to be attributable to age, gender and other population characteristics 3,4,5. We were interested to see if the new estimates published by McMinn et al1 and Kendal et al2 might be useful for cost-effectiveness comparisons in which lifetime models necessitate extrapolation beyond observed data in order to determine mean survival6.
