Correlation between Single Assessment Numerical Evaluation score and Lysholm score in primary total knee arthroplasty patients

Abstract

BackgroundThere are numerous subjective rating scales available to evaluate outcomes of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Single Assessment Numerical Evaluation (SANE) score was developed to reduce the burden of patients or clinicians to evaluate patients' status by asking patients to simply rate the current status of their injured body part on a scale of 0-100. The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between SANE score and Lysholm score in patients who underwent primary TKA.MethodsForty-nine patients who underwent primary TKA participated. Patients who underwent bilateral TKA or revision TKA were excluded from this study. They were asked to respond to SANE and Lysholm scores. Regression analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between 2 scores. Bilateral isometric quadriceps strength and limb symmetry index were also measured and recorded.ResultsThere were a total of 49 patients in the study. The mean age of the subjects was 73.04 ± 6.63 years. The mean height and body weight were 153.37 ± 8.81 cm and 55.51 ± 8.61 kg, respectively. The mean scores for SNAE and Lysholm scores were 66.08 ± 16.77 and 71.0 ± 17.55, respectively. Pearson r correlation coefficient between SANE and Lysholm scores was 0.38 (P = .003). Regression analysis showed statistically significant correlation between 2 scores with r2 of 0.15 (P = .005). The average time from surgery was 16.02 weeks. The mean isometric quadriceps strength was 26.76 ± 11.30 kgf for the involved knee and 40.58 ± 11.55 kgf for the non-involved knee. The limb symmetry index was 66.10% ± 21.51%.ConclusionsThe results of the investigation showed that there was a statistically significant, however relatively weak, correlation between SANE score and Lysholm score. SANE score may serve as an alternative method to assess TKA patients' subjective post-operative outcomes to Lysholm score.

Efficiency of platelet‑rich plasma therapy for healing sports injuries in young athletes

“…The results emerged from our study highlight the theory that there is a clear correlation between the variations in the Lysholm knee scoring scale and pain perception on the NRS [correspondingly to the conclusion reached by Sueyoshi et al ( 31 ), that although weak, this interrelationship is statistically significant], and also between the resumption of sports and daily living activities. Our findings compel us to consider that, in cases where the conservative treatment and physical therapy for partial meniscal and ACL tears fail to succeed, PRP could establish a satisfactory outcome and a significant decline of long-term complications and physical impairments.…”

A SANE Approach to Outcome Collection? Comparing the Performance of Single- Versus Multiple-Question Patient-Reported Outcome Measures After Total Hip Arthroplasty

“…Notably, the correlation between M-SANE and HOOS-Jr beyond 3 months from surgery was stronger than the correlation between the PROMIS-10 PCS score and HOOS-Jr, highlighting the comparability of the M-SANE to other PROMs after THA. In our study, the correlation between the M-SANE score and the joint-specific PROM (HOOS-Jr) was stronger than previously published correlations between the SANE score and other joint-specific surveys in TKA patients [19], knee arthroscopy and ACL reconstruction patients [18], and patients after various shoulder surgeries [17]. Moreover, these correlations were examined longitudinally rather than at a single postoperative time point as previous studies have performed [27,28].…”
