Multicenter StudyItem selection for 12-item short forms of the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS-12) and Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS-12).
To develop 12-item short forms (KOOS-12, HOOS-12) of the 42-item Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and 40-item Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) that represent the full-length instruments sufficiently to provide joint-specific pain, function and quality of life (QOL) domain and summary joint impact scores. This paper describes KOOS-12 and HOOS-12 item selection. Subsequent papers will examine KOOS-12 and HOOS-12 reliability, validity and responsiveness. ⋯ This study demonstrated the benefits of examining patient-reported outcome measures using modern psychometric methods, to create short forms with diverse content that provide domain-specific and summary joint impact scores.

Observational StudyTibial plateau fractures are associated with a long-lasting increased risk of total knee arthroplasty a matched cohort study of 7,950 tibial plateau fractures.
This study aims to investigate the risk of total knee replacement (TKR) following tibia plateau fractures. Secondary the study aims to investigate the risk of knee arthroscopy following tibial plateau fractures. ⋯ Tibial plateau fractures are associated with a 3.5 times increased risk of TKR compared with an age- and gender-matched reference group with a mean follow-up of 13.9 years.

A 12-item short form of the Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS-12): tests of reliability, validity and responsiveness.
To evaluate reliability, validity and responsiveness of HOOS-12, a 12-item short form of the 40-item Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS). HOOS-12 provides Pain, Function and Quality of Life (QOL) scale scores and a summary hip impact score. ⋯ HOOS-12 was a reliable and valid alternative to HOOS in THR patients with moderate to severe OA and provided three domain-specific and summary hip impact scores with substantially reduced respondent burden.
