LID - S0883-5403(24)00085-8 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.arth.2024.01.061 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Patient-reported outcome measures are essential tools in clinical decision-making and research. Multi-item scores like the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) are time-consuming to collect and evaluate. The subjective hip value (SHV), as a single-item value, assesses hip function with one question: "What is the overall percent value of your hip if a completely normal hip represents 100%?". The aims of our study were to assess the psychometric properties, and thus validity, reliability, and responsiveness; and to define the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of the SHV in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. METHODS: A total of 137 consecutive patients who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty between June 2020 and August 2021 were prospectively enrolled. A SHV and mHHS were collected preoperatively and at follow-ups (6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year). Validity, reliability, responsiveness, MCID, and floor/ceiling effects were evaluated. RESULTS: There was a significant correlation between SHV and mHHS (P = .001) preoperatively (rs = 0.532), 6 weeks (rs = 0.649), 3 months (rs = 0.765), 6 months (rs = 0.854), and after 1 year (rs = 0.879). Test-retest reliability (rs = 0.74; P = .001) and responsiveness (rs = 0.24; P = .007) showed significant correlations. The MCID for SHV was 10.06%. Floor- and ceiling-effects were comparable to the mHHS. CONCLUSIONS: The SHV is a valid, reliable, and responsive single-item score for the assessment of hip joint function in arthroplasty patients. It can detect clinically relevant changes in joint function and is easy to collect and interpret, which justifies its implementation in clinical practice. CI - Copyright (c) 2024 The Author(s).
