- Background: Patient satisfaction metrics are commonly used to assess the quality of health care and affect reimbursement. The Press Ganey Ambulatory Surgery (PGAS) is a satisfaction survey that has emerged as a prominent quality assessment tool; however, no data exist on whether PGAS scores correlate with early postsurgical satisfaction during the PGAS survey administration period in patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Purpose: To determine if PGAS scores correlate with measures of satisfaction and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) at 2 weeks postoperatively in ACLR patients. Study Design: Cohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A retrospective review of patients who underwent ACLR at a single institution was performed. Patients who completed the PGAS survey and PROs at 2 weeks postoperatively were included in the study. Surgical satisfaction was measured with the Surgical Satisfaction Questionnaire (SSQ-8), and PROs included 6 Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System domains. Bivariate analysis between PGAS and PRO scores was conducted using the Spearman rank correlation coefficient ( r S ). Results: Of the 716 patients who received the PGAS survey after ACLR, 81 patients completed the survey, and 39 patients also completed PROs and were included in the study. Total converted (mean scaled score) and "top box" (percentages of questions with highest rating selected) PGAS scores showed no significantBackground: Patient satisfaction metrics are commonly used to assess the quality of health care and affect reimbursement.

Total converted (mean scaled score) and "top box" (percentages of questions with highest rating selected) PGAS scores showed no significant correlations with the SSQ-8 ( r S =–0.24; P = .14). There were no significant correlations between SSQ-8 and PGAS domain scores except for a negative correlation with Facility domain top box scores ( r S =–0.33; P = .04), meaning that patients with higher surgical satisfaction had lower PGAS Facility scores. Total PGAS (converted and top box scores) and PGAS domain scores showed no significant correlation with any of the other PROs. Conclusion: PGAS scores showed no significant positive correlation with surgical satisfaction, function, pain, mental health, activity, or expectations of surgery in patients 2 weeks after ACLR. This suggests little to no relationship between PGAS score and surgical satisfaction in the early recovery period after ACLR. … (more)
