BackgroundOsteoarthritis (OA) progressively produces symptoms and disability that may significantly reduce health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an important treatment for symptomatic OA. An alternative to standard-stem THA for younger patients is short-stem THA. The aim of this study was to investigate potential HRQoL and functional outcome differences between these patient groups to provide additional data that will be clinically useful in the decision making between the types of prosthesis.Material/MethodsIn an 18-month follow-up longitudinal cohort study, we conducted Harris Hip Score (HHS) evaluations and SF-36 questionnaires in a study group and a control group undergoing short-stem and standard-stem THA preoperatively and during follow-up at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 18 months. Effect size was calculated to estimate the size of changes in scores during follow-up between chosen time intervals.ResultsA total of 168 patients were included in the study. The total HHS score was significantly increased postoperatively from 46.9 to 87.0 in the standard-stem group, and from 42.7 to 85.1 in the short-stem group. All SF-36 scores improved after THA in both groups. No HRQoL or functional differences were found in the use of either surgical option in the HHS or SF-36 score results (all p>0.05).ConclusionsAs there were no differences in HRQoL in the two groups, we strongly recommend considering short-stem THA, especially in younger patients, due to the benefit of future revision options and a minimally invasive approach.

“…To confirm the hypothesized scale structure of the P-SSSQ, convergent and discriminant validity were used. Convergent validity was assessed by correlating each item with its own scale of the P-SSSQ [18,22]. Evidence of item convergent validity was defined as a correlation of 0.40 or greater between an item and its own scale (corrected for overlap).…”

“…The EORTC QLQ-C30 was included in the study. This was performed to assess to what extent clinical overlapping existed between the EORTC QLQ-C30 and the EO-RTC QLQ-CX24 scales, as in previous studies (Jayasekara et al 2008;Hua et al 2013;Paradowska et al 2014).…”

This study evaluates the psychometric properties of the Xhosa and Afrikaans version, the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) of the Quality of Life Questionnaire Cervical Cancer Module (QLQ-CX24). Translated Xhosa and Afrikaans versions, EORTC QLQ-CX24 and the core questionnaire (the EORTC QLQ-C30) were completed by 66 Xhosa and 142 Afrikaans speaking women newly diagnosed with cervical cancer. Construct reliability and validity of the EORTC QLQ-CX24 questionnaire were assessed via factor analysis, multi-trait scaling analyses and known group comparisons. The mean age was similar in the groups with a mean age of the Xhosa group (52 year) and Afrikaans group (49.2 year) (P = 0.25). The study groups had a high unemployment rate of, respectively, 52% (Xhosa) and 51% (Afrikaans) (P = 0.35). The Xhosa group had a statistically significant higher incidence of advanced stage (III and IV) disease (P = 0.006). Scale reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's α coefficients for internal consistency, which ranged from 0.73 to 0.81 (Xhosa) and 0.73 to 0.76 (Afrikaans). Clinical validity of both language versions was demonstrated by the ability to discriminate among different stages of cervical cancer. The translated Xhosa and Afrikaans versions of the EORTC QLQ-CX24 were found to be reliable and valid measure of quality of life of women with cervical cancer.
