“…Kirschner et al found that the Short Musculoskeletal Function Assessment demonstrated larger effect sizes than the Short Form-36 in 63 patients with primary osteoarthritis undergoing total knee arthroplasty 20. However, their analysis was inappropriate as they compared the effect size of the Short Musculoskeletal Function Assessment Dysfunction Index to all 8 domains of the Short Form-36, instead of comparing the Short Musculoskeletal Function Assessment Dysfunction Index to the Short Form-36 Physical Component Summary score.…”

“…The item scores are aggregated to three subscale scores, pain, stiffness, and physical function, which are calculated as the mean of the item scores in each dimension. Finally, all subscales were recoded to 0-10 scales to ease interpretation, where 10 represents maximal problems and 0 no problems [27]. …”

BackgroundPain is a cardinal symptom of osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip and important for deciding when to operate. This study assessed the internal consistency reliability, validity and responsiveness of the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) among patients with OA undergoing total hip replacement (THR).MethodsWe prospectively included 250 of 356 patients who were accepted to the waiting list for primary THR surgery. All participants responded to the BPI, WOMAC and SF-36 at baseline and 1 year after surgery.ResultsInternal consistency reliability (Cronbach's α) was >0.80 for the BPI, the WOMAC and five of the eight SF-36 scales The pattern of associations of the two BPI scales with corresponding and non-corresponding scales of the WOMAC and SF-36 largely supported the construct validity of the BPI. The responsiveness indices for change from baseline to 1 year after THR ranged from 1.52 to 2.05 for the BPI scales, from 1.69 to 2.84 for the WOMAC scales, and from 0.25 (general health) to 2.77 (bodily pain) for the SF-36 scales.ConclusionsThe BPI showed acceptable reliability, construct validity and responsiveness in patients with OA undergoing THR. BPI is short and therefore is easy to use and score, though the instrument offers few advantages over and duplicates scales of more comprehensive instruments, such as the WOMAC and SF-36.
