Responsiveness To Change

BACKGROUND: Adaptation to Turkish language and validation studies of Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score – Physical Function Short Form (KOOS-PS) and Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score – Physical Function Short Form (HOOS-PS) were done previously but responsiveness to changes of these questionnaires could not be tested in these studies. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the responsiveness of the Turkish versions of the KOOS-PS and HOOS-PS in a patient group who underwent knee or hip joint arthroplasty operation. METHODS: Sixty-three patients who underwent total knee arthroplasties and sixteen patients who underwent total hip arthroplasties for primary osteoarthritis were included in this study. The preoperative and 3-month postoperative KOOS-PS, HOOS-PS, and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) Osteoarthritis Index hip and knee scores were collected from the hospital records, and the effect sizes (ESs) and standardized response means (SRMs) were calculated. RESULTS: The ESs and SRMs, respectively, were as follows: -1.954 and -2.156 for the KOOS-PS, -1.833 and -2.464 for the HOOS-PS, -4.848 and -4.210 for the WOMAC-knee, and -3.835 and -4.625 for the WOMAC-hip. CONCLUSIONS: The Turkish versions of the KOOS-PS and HOOS-PS exhibited strong responsiveness to change in the arthroplasty patients.

Abstract Background: This study aims to investigate the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Brunel Lifestyle Physical Activity Questionnaire (BLPAQ) and examine the cultural adaptation of the questionnaire.Methods: After the translation process, the test-retest reliability of the Turkish version of the questionnaire was analyzed with 24 (31.20±5.0 years old; 50% female) participants (2nd test was done 15 days after the first test). In addition, the validity of the scale was evaluated by the correlation between the BLPAQ and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF) completed by 113 (30.59±5.40 years old; 63.7% Female) participants.Results: A powerful positive and significant correlation was found between the correlation coefficients of the BLPAQ's PPA and UPA subscales between both tests (respectively r=0.96, p<0.01; r=0.87, p<0.01). The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was found to be 0.77 (quite reliable). The PPA subscale of the BLPAQ was positive with the IPAQ-SF's high-intensity physical activity subscale (r=0.47 p=0.00) and total IPAQ-SF excluding sitting (r=0.50 p=0.00) medium in the direction and low positive correlation with the walking activity subscale (r=0.25 p=0.024). No significant correlation was found between the UPA subdivision of BLPAQ and IPAQ-SF (p>0.05).Conclusion: BLPAQ, adapted into Turkish, is a valid and reliable tool that can be used to determine lifestyle according to physical activity level.

Background:Overweight is a major risk factor for the development and progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Weight loss for patients with knee OA has been associated with improvement in self-reported pain and function and is recommended by EULAR as part of the therapeutic management.Objectives:The aim of the study was to evaluate the relation between overweight and functional impairment in adults with knee OA.Methods:It was a prospective study conducted in a rheumatologic department over a 4 months period. Patients with symptomatic knee OA based on the ACR criteria, were included. A screening of body mass index (BMI) was carried out for all patients. It was categorized following the WHO classification into: normal (<25 kg/m2), overweight (25 to <30), obese (up to 30).Pain level was evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Function was assessed by the short form of the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS-PS) (KOOS-PS scores to 0 representing no difficulty and 100 representing extreme difficulty). The patients’ knee radiographies were graded according to Kellgren Lawrence criteria (KL). The patients were allocated in two groups; as grade I-II KL (Group 1) and grade III-IV KL (Group 2).Results:We included 143 patients with a mean age of 65.17± 10.7 years and 88.1% of women. Patients were from low socio-economic class in 30.8% of cases. Mean disease duration of the KOA was 5.4 years [3months-20 years] and mean BMI was 31.8±5.6kg/m2. Patients were with normal weight in 16.1%, overweight in 19.6% and obese in 64.3%.Knee OA was bilateral in 85.3% and other OA sites were associated in 37.8% of patients. Mean VAS pain of knee OA was 6.6±1.5 and KOOS-PS was 48.8±16.5/100. Concerning the radiographic damage; we found grade I-II (KL) in 22.6% and grade III-IV (KL) in 77.4%.High BMI (BMI≥25 kg/m2was not significantly associated with worse KOOS score (p=0.9), more pain (p=0.5) or an increasing severity of radiological knee osteoarthritis (p=0.14). Moreover, the level BMI was not associated with the presence of other OA sites (p=0.9) or a bilateral KOA (p=0.07).Conclusion:These data, from a subset of participants with symptomatic radiographic knee OA, demonstrate no correlation between obesity and pain, functional impairment and radiographic severity.Acknowledgments:noneDisclosure of Interests:None declared
