A 12-item short form of the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS-12): tests of reliability, validity and responsiveness.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate reliability, validity and responsiveness of KOOS-12, a 12-item short form of the 42-item Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) that provides Pain, Function and Quality of Life (QOL) scale scores and a summary knee impact score. Results showed that KOOS-12 was a reliable and valid alternative to KOOS in total knee replacement patients with moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis and provided three domain-specific and summary knee impact scores with substantially reduced respondent burden.

Readmissions after treatment of distal radius fractures.
The authors assessed the rates and associated diagnoses of readmissions for patients having received an intervention for treatment of distal radius fracture. Using AHRQ data sets, they found that many distal radius fracture patients return to the health care system for pain-related issues, and they recommended implementation of better pain management.
