N2 - Introduction: The
high Activity Arthroplasty Score (
hAAS) has been designed to differentiate in the functional ability
between normal and more active patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (T
hA).
no such
questionnaire is currently available in the Dutch language. The objective of this study was to evaluate the Dutch version
of the
hAAS in ThA and TKA patients.
Patients & Methods: The forward and backward translated Dutch version of the
hAAS combined with the national Dutch
patient reported outcome measures (PR
oMS) were sent to two hundred patients of all ages who underwent TKA or T
hA.
The internal consistency, construct validity and ceiling/floor effects of the
hAAS were evaluated.
Results: 108 patients (51 ThA and 57 TKA) participated in this study. A good internal consistency with a Cronbach’s alpha
of 0.78, 0.81 and 0.84 was found in all patients, the Th
A and the TKA group respectively. Significant positive correla-
tions were observed between the
hAAS and VAS Qo
l, EQ-5D, all K
oo
S sub-scores except the symptoms score, and all
hoo
S sub-scores except the Qo
l score. A negative correlation was found with the VAS pain.
no ceiling or floor effect
was seen in the
hAAS.
Discussion: The Dutch version of the
hAAS can be used to evaluate the functional ability in more active patients of all ages
who underwent ThA or TKA with an acceptable internal consistency and construct validity, with no ceiling or floor effects.
