AB  - BACKGROUND: Improvements in pain, function, and patient satisfaction are used to 
      evaluate the outcomes of hip arthroscopic surgery. PURPOSE: To identify 
      correlations between the visual analog scale (VAS) score for pain and patient 
      satisfaction with 4 commonly used patient-reported outcome (PRO) scores to 
      determine to what extent changes in these 2 parameters are reflected in each of 
      the PRO scores. STUDY DESIGN: Cohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 3. 
      METHODS: Patients undergoing hip arthroscopic surgery between February 2008 and 
      February 2013 were assessed prospectively before surgery, at 3 months, and 
      annually thereafter with the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Nonarthritic Hip 
      Score (NAHS), Hip Outcome Score-sports-specific subscale (HOS-SSS), and Hip 
      Outcome Score-activities of daily living (HOS-ADL). Patients were also assessed 
      using a 10-point VAS for pain and queried for satisfaction at the same time 
      points ("0" indicated no pain, and "10" indicated complete satisfaction with 
      surgery). The VAS score and patient satisfaction were correlated with changes in 
      the 4 PRO scores. RESULTS: During the study period, 1417 patients underwent hip 
      arthroscopic surgery, of whom 1137 patients had 2-year postoperative PRO scores 
      after primary surgery. There was a significant improvement in all PRO scores at 
      2-year follow-up. The mean improvements in mHHS, NAHS, HOS-ADL, and HOS-SSS 
      scores were 16.7, 21.6, 19.7, and 22.7 points, respectively. The mean improvement 
      in the VAS score was 2.9 points. Mean patient satisfaction at 2-year follow-up 
      was 7.74 (of 10). There was a statistically significant correlation between the 
      VAS and patient satisfaction scores and changes in each of the 4 PRO scores. The 
      strength of the correlation was moderate. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated a 
      moderate correlation between the VAS and patient satisfaction outcomes and 
      changes in 4 commonly used PRO scores in hip arthroscopic surgery (mHHS, HOS-ADL, 
      HOS-SSS, and NAHS). In addition to several PRO instruments, a VAS for pain and 
      patient satisfaction may add to the overall assessment of the efficacy of hip 
      arthroscopic surgery.
