Construction of a conceptual model and preliminary content development for patient-reported outcomes measurement after total hip arthroplasty: from a Chinese perspective
To develop a conceptual model and preliminary content for patients who have undergone total hip arthroplasty (THA) in Mainland China.
Key Findings:
A total of 50 patients and 17 experts participated in the study.
The conceptual model focused on eight key dimensions: function, pain, symptoms, quality of life, cognitive and social support, psychology, expectations, and satisfaction.
A total of 99 items were developed for the corresponding CTP.
Interpretation:
The conceptual model and preliminary content of the CTP were developed with extensive participation from patients and multidisciplinary experts, integrating patient perspectives and clinical practice.
Limitations:
The study may have limitations related to the sample size and diversity of participants.
The Delphi method's expert attrition could impact the study results.
Conclusion:
The CTP is expected to become a standardized and comprehensive measurement tool for research on Chinese patients who have undergone THA, following further refinement through psychometric testing.
Chronic tendinopathy is one of the most common reasons patients remain symptomatic after months of physical therapy, activity modification, NSAIDs, or corticosteroid injections.
