Importance: Decision aids can help inform appropriate selection of total knee replacement (TKR) for advanced knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, few decision aids combine patient education, preference assessment, and artificial intelligence (AI) using patient-reported outcome measurement data to generate personalized estimations of outcomes to augment shared decision-making (SDM).
Objective: To assess the effect of an AI-enabled patient decision aid that includes education, preference assessment, and personalized outcome estimations (using patient-reported outcome measurements) on decision quality, patient experience, functional outcomes, and process-level outcomes among individuals with advanced knee OA considering TKR in comparison with education only.
Design, setting, and participants: This randomized clinical trial at a single US academic orthopedic practice included 129 new adult patients presenting for OA-related knee pain from March 2019 to January 2020. Data were analyzed from April to May 2020.
Intervention: Patients were randomized into a group that received a decision aid including patient education, preference assessment, and personalized outcome estimations (intervention group) or a group receiving educational material only (control group) alongside usual care.
Main outcomes and measures: The primary outcome was decision quality, measured using the Knee OA Decision Quality Instrument (K-DQI). Secondary outcomes were collaborative decision-making (assessed using the CollaboRATE survey), patient satisfaction with consultation (using a numerical rating scale), Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Joint Replacement (KOOS JR) score, consultation time, TKR rate, and treatment concordance.
Conclusions and relevance: In this randomized clinical trial, an AI-enabled decision aid significantly improved decision quality, level of SDM, satisfaction, and physical limitations without significantly impacting consultation times, TKR rates, or treatment concordance in patients with knee OA considering TKR. Decision aids using a personalized, data-driven approach can enhance SDM in the management of knee OA.

Findings This randomized clinical trial of 129 patients demonstrated statistically significant improvement in decision quality, level of shared decision-making, patient satisfaction, and functional outcomes in patients using an AI-enabled decision aid.
Meaning These findings suggest that AI-enabled decision aids incorporating patient-reported outcome measurement data provide a personalized, data-driven approach to shared decision-making for the surgical management of knee osteoarthritis.

An op-ed with assistant professors of economics, Abigail Hall Blanco and Michael Coon, was recently featured in The Hill. The article discusses the broken U.S. immigration system and whether the U.S. should focus on fixing its broken immigration system rather than focusing on deporting millions of people.
Dean Frank Ghannadian currently oversees more than 120 faculty and staff in six departments of the Sykes College of Business with more than 12 undergraduate majors, four MBA programs and four master of science programs. Check out this video featuring our very own Dean Ghannadian talking about the tremendous growth he has seen here at UT during his time as dean and where he sees Tampa Bay's future in the next 10 years.
Two of University of Tampa's graduate students could be on the verge of a career search revolution. Together, Markus Waite and Karan Walia created an app called Zuloc that "allows candidates as well as companies to match make each other in a way that's more relevant than other job sites," according to Karan Walia. Employers list more than just a job opening, they describe how the company operates and what type of worker they are looking for.
An op-ed with one of our students, Kaila Preston, alongside Abigail Hall Blanco, has been published by Inside Sources. The piece describes how Portugal's drug policy might inform U.S. policy. Portugal shocked the world in 2001 by voting to decriminalize all drugs and to view drug users as ill rather than criminal. This new policy has had a drastically different impact from what many predicted.
CNBC News has featured a commentary article by our very own Abigail Hall Blanco, assistant professor of economics at The University of Tampa. The article dives into the repercussions of lawmakers attempting to manipulate prices and the labor market. Hall Blanco states that while minimum-wage increases will boost the pay of some workers, it will send others to the unemployment office.
Eric Liguori, assistant professor of entrepreneurship at The University of Tampa, wrote an article that appeared in Mediaplanet. Liguori's article stresses the importance of rallying behind the individuals who are brave enough to take the plunge into entrepreneurship. He also provides five different resources that can help entrepreneurs along their journey.
Abigail Hall Blanco, assistant professor of economics at The University of Tampa, has contributed to the Opinions section of Forbes. Her article discusses how the technological innovations that fuel our economy and improve our lives every day can sometimes be seen as disruptive. She uses the app-based ridesharing services provided by Uber and Lyft as current examples.
Once again, Abigail Hall Blanco has continued to represent the Sykes College of Business in a positive light. Blanco has had another one of her articles published, this time in the Tampa Bay Times. The article discusses Pinellas County's announcement to launch an Adult Pre-Arrest Diversion program, described as one of the most ambitious criminal justice reforms in Tampa Bay.
