- Objective: To evaluate the internal consistency of the Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score-Physical Function Short-form (HOOS-PS) and the Knee injury and Ostecarthritis Outcome Score-Physical Function Short-form (KOOS-PS) in total hip replacement (THR) and total knee (TKR) replacement. Construct validity and responsiveness were compared to the Western Ontario McMaster Universities' Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Likert 3.0 physical function (PF) subscale and the PF excluding the items in the short measures (PF-exclusions). Methods: Participants completed the full HOOS or KOOS, measures of fatigue, anxiety. depression and the Chronic Pain Grade (CPG) pre-surgery and the HOOS or KOOS 6 months post-surgery. Internal consistency for the HOOS-PS and KOOS-PS was calculated using Cronbach's alpha. For construct validity, it was hypothesized that correlations between the HOOS-PS or KOOS-PS and PF and PF-exclusions with fatigue, CPG, anxiety and depression and HOOS/KOOS pain scales would differ by magnitudes of <0.1. Standardized response means (SRMs) were calculated for the HOOS-PS, KOOS-PS, PF and PF-exclusions and hypothesized to be >1. Results: The THR group (n = 201) had a mean age of 62.3 years; 53.2% were female. The TKR group (n = 248) had a mean age of 64.5 years; 63.7% were female. Cronbach's alpha was 0.79 and 0.89 for the HOOS-PS and KOOS-PS, respectively, confirming that the measures represented a homogeneous construct. The correlation of the HOOS-PS to the PF and PF-exclusions was 0.90 and 0.86, respectively; r = 0.90 (PF) and r = 0.85 (PF-exclusions) for the KOOS-PS. The results supported the construct validity hypotheses. For THR, the SRM was 1.5, 1.7 and 1.7 for the HOOS-PS, PF and PF-exclusions; for TKR, the SRM was 1.4, 1.5 and 1.7, respectively. Conclusions: The short HOOS-PS and KOOS-PS represent homogenous short measures of PF with similar construct validity and responsiveness to the 17-item PF. The HOOS-PS and KOOS-PS are parsimonious, valid and responsive for evaluating PF in THR and TKR. (C) 2009 Osteoarthritis Research Society International. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

- Objective: To evaluate the psychometric properties of the French KOOS physical function (KOOS-PS) and HOOS physical function (HOOS-PS), specifically its feasibility, reliability, construct validity, and responsiveness. Methods: Consecutive outpatients consulting for primary knee or hip osteoarthritis (OA) in a rheumatology department were included. During the initial assessment, patients were asked to complete the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) or Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) questionnaire and the OsteoArthritis Knee and Hip Quality Of Life questionnaire (OAKHQOL). The patients were given a second KOOS or HOOS questionnaire to complete and return by mail 2 weeks later. Feasibility was assessed by calculating the percentage of missing items and the floor and ceiling effects. Test-retest reliability was evaluated using the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). Convergent and divergent construct validity was determined by comparing the results of the KOOS-PS or HOOS-PS and OAKHQOL questionnaires using Spearman's rank test. Responsiveness was evaluated using data obtained in other hip or knee CA patients prior to and 1 month after intra-articular hyaluronic acid injection, using standardized response mean (SRM) and effect-size (ES). Results: Eighty-seven patients with knee CA and 50 hip CA patients were included. The KOOS-PS and HOOS-PS scores were obtained for all patients as there were no missing items. Neither a floor nor a ceiling effect was observed. The ICC of KOOS-PS and HOOS-PS was 0.861 (0.763-0.921) and 0.859 (0.725-0.929), respectively. A strong or moderate correlation was observed, as expected, between KOOS-PS, HOOS-PS, and the OAKHQOL physical activities, pain, and mental health domains. A weak correlation was observed, as expected, between KOOS-PS, HOOS-PS, and the other OAKHQOL domains, except for a moderate correlation between the KOOS-PS and social functioning. The responsiveness was demonstrated with SRM and ES of 0.80 and 0.51 (KOOS-PS), 1.10 and 0.62 (HOOS-PS), respectively. Conclusion: The French versions of KOOS-PS and HOOS-PS are reliable, valid, and responsive questionnaires for capturing functional disability in people with knee and hip OA.
