Study summary

Hospitalization for elective knee or hip replacement surgery presents an outstanding opportunity to motivate people to quit smoking, because it provides an opportunity to encourage patients to remain smoke-free as they proactively quit to optimize their surgery outcomes. This study will conduct a comparative effectiveness trial of patients who quit smoking pre-operatively, comparing the current standard of care with a novel comprehensive relapse prevention intervention guided by Marlatt's Relapse Prevention Model.

Read the detailed description

The specific aims of this study are to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the relapse prevention intervention and will: 1) compare the effectiveness of standard post-operative cessation treatment with a comprehensive relapse prevention intervention on smoking cessation outcomes; 2) conduct a comparative economic analysis to assess the value of the relapse prevention intervention for patients and the healthcare system; and 3) explore the impact of the interventions on surgical complications and readmissions.
