The validity of disease-specific quality of life attributions among adults with multiple chronic conditions.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the convergent and discriminant validity of QOL attributions to specific diseases among adults with multiple chronic conditions (MCC). It concluded that, collectively, convergent and discriminant test results support the construct validity of disease-specific QOL impact attributions across MCC within the eight pre-identified conditions.

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis have similar excellent outcomes after total knee replacement compared with patients with osteoarthritis.
The purpose of this study is to assess pain, function, and quality of life 2 years after total knee replacement (TKR) in contemporary patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) compared with patients with osteoarthritis (OA). It concluded that patients with RA undergoing primary TKR have excellent 2-year outcomes, comparable with OA, in spite of worse preoperative pain and function.
