“…However, general population norm data are-to the best of our knowledge-not available for the KSS and scarce for the WOMAC. An Australian study on general population norm data for the WOMAC Function scale found a mean of 17.8 points [38], which is comparable to our 12-month threshold of 16.5 points for treatment success. This finding suggests that reaching the population mean in the WOMAC Function scale reflects treatment success.…”

Our study aimed at developing clinical thresholds (cut-off scores) for the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) osteoarthritis index, EQ-5D and Knee Society Score for discriminating between patients with and without treatment success following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We performed a retrospective analysis of 1055 patients 2 months after TKA and 765 patients 1 year after TKA. We considered treatment successful if the patient reported high levels of satisfaction and pain relief, functional increase, and a willingness to undergo the same procedure again. Based on this criterion we identified cut-off scores that will facilitate interpretation of the WOMAC, the EQ-5D and the KSS in TKA patients.

“…The primary outcome was change between baseline and 18-month follow-up in the Physical Functioning scale of WOMAC (WOMAC-PF) LK 3.0 23. The WOMAC-PF is a disease-specific (hip or knee OA) self-report instrument with 17 items, yielding a score between 0 (good function) and 68 (poor function).…”

Background: In longitudinal studies across a range of regional musculoskeletal pain syndromes, certain prognostic factors consistently emerge. They are ''generic'' in the sense that they appear to apply regardless of the particular anatomical site or underlying cause of the pain. Objective: To investigate the value of generic indicators of poor functional outcome for knee pain and osteoarthritis in the community. Methods: We conducted a population-based cohort study of adults aged >50 years with knee pain as part of the Clinical Assessment Study (Knee) (CAS(K)). At baseline, participants completed a postal questionnaire and attended a research clinic where they completed a further questionnaire and underwent structured physical examination and x rays. The 18-month follow-up was via a self-completed questionnaire. Risk ratios were calculated using Cox regression with a fixed time period assigned to each participant. Results: In total, 60% of participants experienced a poor outcome at 18 months. Twelve univariate associations were associated with poor outcome, with four variables remaining in the multivariate model (older age, being overweight or obese, having possible or probable anxiety, and more severe pain).Using a simple unweighted additive risk score (1 point each for age >60 years, body mass index >25 kg/m 2 , possible or probable anxiety, Chronic Pain Grade II-IV), 90% of participants with all four generic indicators were correctly classified.Conclusions: This study has demonstrated that generic prognostic indicators can be used to determine the prognosis of older people in the community with knee pain.
