Mapping of disease-specific Oxford Knee Score onto EQ-5D-5L utility index in knee osteoarthritis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

EQ5D is a generic measure of health. It provides a single index value for health status that can be used in the clinical and economic evaluation of healthcare. Oxford Knee Score (OKS) is a joint-specific outcome measure tool designed to assess symptoms and function in osteoarthritis patients after joint replacement surgery. Though widely used, it has the disadvantage of lacking health index value. To fill the gap between functional and generic questionnaires with economic value, we linked generic EQ-5D-5L to the specific OKS to give a single index value for health status in KOA patients.

Questions/purposes

Developing and evaluating an algorithm to estimate EuroQoL generic health utility scores (EQ-5D-5L) from the disease-specific OKS using data from patients with
