Evaluating methodological quality of prognostic prediction models on patient reported outcome measurements after total hip replacement and total knee replacement surgery: a systematic review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prediction models for poor patient-reported surgical outcomes after total hip replacement (THR) and total knee replacement (TKR) may provide a method for improving appropriate surgical care for hip and knee osteoarthritis. There are concerns about methodological issues and the risk of bias of studies producing prediction models. A critical evaluation of the methodological quality of prediction modelling studies in THR and TKR is needed to ensure their clinical usefulness. This systematic review aims to (1) evaluate and report the quality of risk stratification and prediction modelling studies that predict patient-reported outcomes after THR and TKR; (2) identify areas of methodological deficit and provide recommendations for future research; and (3) synthesise the eviden
