Clinical Interpretation of PROMs in Care of Knee Osteoarthritis and TJR
This research will define and validate guidelines for interpretation of commonly used patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for pain and physical function domains among patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis (OA) receiving medical, rehabilitation, or surgical treatment. The Framingham OA study found that 33% of men and 42% of women have radiographic changes consistent with knee OA. While x-ray changes do not correlate with symptom severity, validated patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) can quantify knee OA pain severity, longitudinal symptom changes, and OA-associated functional limitations in groups of patients. Thus, professional societies endorse PROM use in knee OA and CMS…
