Oxoford knee score

The Oxford Knee Score is a 12-item patient-reported outcomes specifically designed and developed to assess function and pain after total knee replacement arthroplasty. It is short, reproducible, valid and sensitive to clinically important changes. Score each question from 0 to 4 with 4 being the best outcome. This method, when summed, produces overall scores running from 0 to 48 with 48 being the best outcome

Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score

The Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score is a questionnaire designed to assess short and long-term patient-relevant outcomes following knee injury. The questionnaire is self-administered and assesses five outcomes: pain(9 items), symptoms(7 items), activities of daily living(17 items), sport and recreation function(5 items), and knee-related quality of life (4 items). The questionnaire meets basic criteria of outcome measures and can be used to evaluate the course of knee injury and treatment outcome. A Likert scale is used and all items have five possible answer options scored from 0 (No problems) to 4 (Extreme problems) and each of the five scores is calculated as the sum of the items included. Scores are transformed to a 0-100 scale, with zero representing extreme knee problems and 100 representing no knee problems as common in orthopaedic scales and generic measures. Scores between 0 and 100 represent the percentage of total possible score achieved.

Forgotten Joint Score

The Forgotten Joint Score was designed to assess patient outcome in patients undergoing conservative or operative treatment of the knee. This questionnaire shows its strengths in patients with a good level of knee function and a low pain level. It has been designed specifically to reduce ceiling effects commonly associated with many patients reported outcome measures in this patient group, e.g. when assessing short- to mid-term results in total knee arthroplasty patients. Every question is scored 1 (never) to 5 (mostly) according to the selected response categories. Thus, the raw score ranges from 12 to 60. The raw score is linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale and then reversed to obtain the final score. Final score = 100 - ((sum(item01 to item12) - 12)/48\*100) For the final 'Forgotten Joint Score -12' a high score indicates good outcome.
