Introduction. Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) are increasingly used as quality benchmarks in total joint arthroplasty (TJA). The objective of this study was to investigate whether PROMs correlate with patient satisfaction, which is arguably the most important and desired outcome. Methods. An institutional joint database was queried for patients who underwent primary, elective, unilateral TJA. Eligible patients were asked to complete a satisfaction survey at final follow-up. Correlation coefficients (R) were calculated to quantify the relationship between patient satisfaction and prospectively collected PROMs. We explored a wide range of PROMs including Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC); Short Form-12 (SF-12),
To estimate the measurement properties for the Oxford Knee Score (OKS) in patients undergoing revision knee arthroplasty (responsiveness, minimal detectable change (MDC-90), minimal important change (MIC), minimal important difference (MID), internal consistency, construct validity, and interpretability). Secondary data analysis was performed for 10,727 patients undergoing revision knee arthroplasty between 2013 to 2019 using a UK national patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) dataset. Outcome data were collected before revision and at six months postoperatively, using the OKS and EuroQol five-dimension score (EQ-5D). Measurement properties were assessed according to COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health status Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) guidelines.Aims
