We obtained pre-operative and six-month post-operative
Oxford hip (OHS) and knee scores (OKS) for 1523 patients who underwent
total hip replacement and 1784 patients who underwent total knee
replacement. They all also completed a six-month satisfaction question. . Scatter plots showed no relationship between pre-operative Oxford
scores and six-month satisfaction scores. Spearman’s rank correlation
coefficients were -0.04 (95% confidence interval (CI) -0.09 to 0.01)
between OHS and satisfaction and 0.04 (95% CI -0.01 to 0.08) between
OKS and satisfaction. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve
analysis was used to identify a cut-off point for the pre-operative
OHS/OKS that identifies whether or not a patient is satisfied with
surgery. We obtained an area under the ROC curve of 0.51 (95% CI
0.45 to 0.56) for hip replacement and 0.56 (95% CI 0.51 to 0.60)

Aims. 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. Methods. 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. Results. We included 3,329 response sets from 528 patients undergoing
