Validity and responsiveness of the knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score: a comparative study among total knee replacement patients.
The researchers evaluated validity and responsiveness of the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) in relation to other patient-reported outcome measures before and after total knee replacement (TKR). They concluded that KOOS scales were valid and responsive in a cohort of 1,143 US TKR patients. KOOS QOL performed particularly well in capturing aggregate knee-specific outcomes.
