Preventing Smoking Relapse After Total Joint Replacement Surgery

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.
