“…The entire process involved word-by-word analysis of the recorded responses, enumeration of frequently cited words, and recognition of words that were unique to the condition [6,31]. Through an iterative process, resonant concepts of expectations were identified.…”

“…By convention, kappa values of 0.4 or less indicate slight to fair agreement; 0.41 to 0.6 indicate moderate agreement, and 0.6 or greater indicate substantial agreement [6,31]. An item was retained in the final survey if the weighted kappa value was 0.6 or greater; an item with a weighted kappa value between 0.5 and 0.6 reflecting an expectation that was uniquely clinically relevant also was retained.…”

Background Although patient expectations associated with major orthopaedic conditions have shown clinically relevant and variable effects on outcomes, expectations associated with thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) arthritis have not been identified, described, or analyzed before, to our knowledge. Questions/purposes We asked: (1) Do patients with thumb CMC arthritis express characteristic expectations that are quantifiable and have measurable frequency? (2) Can a survey on expectations developed from patientderived data quantitate expectations in patients with thumb CMC arthritis? Methods The study was a prospective cohort study. The first phase was a 12-month-period involving interviews of 42 patients with thumb CMC arthritis to define their expectations of treatment. The interview process used techniques and principles of qualitative methodology including open-ended interview questions, unrestricted time, and study size determined by data saturation. Verbatim responses provided content for the draft survey. The second phase was a 12-month period assessing the survey for test-retest reliability with the recruitment of 36 participants who completed the survey twice. The survey was finalized from clinically relevant content, frequency of endorsement, weighted kappa values for concordance of responses, and intraclass coefficient and Cronbach's alpha for interrater reliability and internal consistency. Results Thirty-two patients volunteered 256 characteristic expectations, which consisted of 21 discrete categories. Expectations with similar concepts were combined by eliminating redundancy while maintaining original terminology. These were reduced to 19 items that comprised a one-page survey. This survey showed high concordance, interrater reliability, and internal consistency, with weighted kappa values between 0.58 and 0.78 (95% CI, 0.39-0.78; p \ 0.001); intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.94 (95% CI, 0.94-0.98; p\0.001), and Cronbach's alpha values of 0.94 and 0.95 (95% CI, 0.91-0.
