A 12-item short form of the Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS-12): tests of reliability, validity and responsiveness.
The goal of this study was to measure validity, reliability and responsiveness of the 12-item version of the 40-item Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) surveys that measure joint-specific pain, function and quality of life (QOL) for patients. The shorter forms were given to 1,281 hip OA patients from the FORCE-TJR cohort who had previously completed the HOOS surveys before and after total joint replacement surgery. The HOOS-12 survey was compared to the full-length HOOS, HOOS-PS, and HOOS, JR surveys. Internal consistency reliability was above 0.70 for all HOOS-12 scales and above 0.90 for the Summary score. Validity and responsiveness were also found to be comparable to full-length HOOS scales.

Item 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).
The goal of this study was to develop 12-item versions of the 42-item Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and 40-item Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) surveys that measure joint-specific pain, function and quality of life (QOL) for patients. The shorter forms were given to 1,395 knee osteoarthritis (OA) and 1,281 hip OA patients from the FORCE-TJR cohort who had previously completed the KOOS and HOOS surveys before and after total joint replacement surgery. The KOOS-12 and HOOS-12 surveys were found to successfully measure pain and function items of the patients as well as the 42-item versions.

The clinical status and economic savings associated with remission among patients with rheumatoid arthritis: leveraging linked registry and claims data for synergistic insights.
Treat to target guidelines recommend achieving remission or low disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the reduction in adverse events and costs associated with lower disease activity is unclear. This study found that leveraging the benefits of linking registry and administrative data together, lower disease activity in RA was associated with incrementally reduced risks of all-cause hospitalization, ED visits, mortality, and medical costs in a dose-dependent fashion.
