Reproducibility, validity, and responsiveness of the hip outcome score in patients with end‐stage hip osteoarthritis

Cross-Cultural Adaptation of the Dance Functional Outcome Survey (DFOS) for Spanish Dancers

“…This is similar to previous reports of the English-DFOS and other instruments [10,42,48,49]. SRM values demonstrated high responsiveness [35], and high effect sizes as hypothesized. SRM and effect sizes were insubstantial in MCS scores.…”

Sensitivity to Change of a Computer Adaptive Testing Instrument for Outcome Measurement After Hip and Knee Arthroplasty and Periacetabular Osteotomy

“…12 Although no published estimates were identified for floor or ceiling effects for the WOMAC in persons undergoing periacetabular osteotomy for hip dysplasia, the high ceiling effects over time (greater than 30%) found in our study are consistent with the literature for the WOMAC in individuals undergoing hip and knee replacement. 19,24,[36][37][38][39]45 The sensitivity results in this study were also consistent with published effect sizes for the WOM-AC in hip and knee replacement, which were moderate to large, and larger for hip than for knee replacement at similar time points. 1,3,10,47 [ research report ]…”

Comparing Rasch and anchor-based approaches to minimally important change

“…The MIC derived from patients reporting "a little better" was a median change of + 12 OHS points. This estimate is at the upper end of previously reported MIC values for the OHS, which have typically ranged from approximately 5 to 11 points depending on population, follow-up duration, and methodology [5,6]. The higher estimate observed in the present study may reflect the skewed distribution of outcomes, with a large proportion of patients reporting substantial improvement, as well as potential ceiling effects and heterogeneity in patient expectations within this large routine-care cohort.…”
