To map the Oxford Knee Score (OKS) and High Activity Arthroplasty Score (HAAS) items to a common scale, and to investigate the psychometric properties of this new scale for the measurement of knee health. Patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) data measuring knee health were obtained from the NHS PROMs dataset and Total or Partial Knee Arthroplasty Trial (TOPKAT). Assumptions for common scale modelling were tested. A graded response model (fitted to OKS item responses in the NHS PROMs dataset) was used as an anchor to calibrate paired HAAS items from the TOPKAT dataset. Information curves for the combined OKS-HAAS model were plotted. Bland-Altman analysis was used to compare common scale scores derived from OKS and HAAS items. A conversion table was developed to map between HAAS, OKS, and the common scale.Aims
Methods
The Oxford hip score (OHS) is a 12-item questionnaire designed
and developed to assess function and pain from the perspective of
patients who are undergoing total hip replacement (THR). The OHS
has been shown to be consistent, reliable, valid and sensitive to
clinical change following THR. It has been translated into different
languages, but no adequately translated, adapted and validated Danish
language version exists. The OHS was translated and cross-culturally adapted into Danish
from the original English version, using methods based on best-practice
guidelines. The translation was tested for psychometric quality
in patients drawn from a cohort from the Danish Hip Arthroplasty
Register (DHR).Objectives
