Hypothesis
Which patient-reported outcome questionnaires are valid and reliable for evaluating patients undergoing hip arthroscopy?
Conclusion
There is no conclusive evidence for the use of a single patient-reported outcome questionnaire in the evaluation of patients undergoing hip arthroscopy, but a combination of the NAHS and HOS is recommended.
Supporting Evidence
- The NAHS scored best on content validity.
- The HOS scored best on agreement, internal consistency, reliability, and responsiveness.
- The quality of the articles describing the HOS scored highest.
Takeaway
Doctors want to know how well hip surgery works for patients, but there's no one best way to ask them. Using two different questionnaires together might be the best idea.
Methodology
A systematic review was conducted to identify and evaluate the quality of patient-reported outcome questionnaires used for hip arthroscopy.
Potential Biases
Some studies excluded patients who could not answer enough questions, which could lead to bias.
Limitations
The study included a small number of questionnaires and studies.
Participant Demographics
Participants included adolescents, professional athletes, and older populations under 55 years.
