International consensus-based ranking of definitions for poor response to primary total knee arthroplasty: a Delphi study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This study aimed to rank definitions for measuring poor response one year after TKA, after assessing the face validity and feasibility of existing or newly proposed definitions.

Materials and methods

Definitions were derived from a literature review or were newly proposed by an expert group. Panelists rated the face validity and feasibility of definitions, and could propose additional new definitions in round 1.

Definitions with a median score for face validity < 6.5 were removed from the list, and panelists distributed 100 poi
