Resumen de Patient-Reported Outcomes for Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty:: Commonly Used Instruments and Attributes of a "Good" Measure
Natalie J. Collins, Ewa M. Roos
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are effective surgical interventions for relieving pain and improving physical function in patients with end-stage degenerative joint disease. Optimization of surgical outcomes requires selection of suitable patients, as well as postoperative evaluation utilizing appropriate patient-reported outcome measures. This article evaluates patient-reported outcomes frequently used for THA and TKA patients, including disease-specific (HOOS, HOOS-PS, KOOS, KOOS-PS, WOMAC), intervention-specific (Harris Hip Score, Oxford Hip Score, Oxford Knee Score), and generic instruments (EQ-5D, SF-12, SF-36), and provides a guide regarding their suitability for use in such patients based on their characteristics and psychometric properties.
