Adaptation of High Activity Arthroplasty Score to Turkish

Completed

• Conditions: Surgery--Complications; Physical Disability; Arthropathy

• Registration Number: NCT05217264
• Lead Sponsor: Harran University

Brief Summary

The objectives of this study were the translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and assessment of the psychometric properties of the Turkish High-Activity Arthroplasty Score (HAAS) in patients with primary TKA.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to translate and cross-culturally adapt the HAAS instrument into Turkish and investigate its psychometric properties. For cross-cultural adaptation, two bi-lingual translators used the back-translation procedure. Within a 5-to-7-day period after the first assessment, the participants will complete the Turkish version of HAAS to evaluate test-retest reliability. Cronbach's alpha (α) will use to assess internal consistency. The correlations with the Turkish version of the KOOS, SF-36 and FJS-12 will determine to check the validity.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
High-Activity Arthroplasty Score	Baseline,	The HAAS questionnaire, developed in 2010, is self-reported and comprises the four items walking, running, stair climbing, and the activity level \[20\]. The response level for each item ranges from normal function to serious limitation. The patient selects the highest possible level of his functional ability for each item. A point system for each item is applied whereby a higher score indicates a higher functional ability. The total score ranges from 0 to 18 points. The original version provides no instruction regarding missing answers.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Forgotten Joint Score	Baseline	The FJS-12 was developed to identify the awareness of an artificial joint (hip or knee) during activities of daily living. It uses a 5-point Likert response format (0, never; 1, almost; 2, seldom; 3, sometimes; and 4, mostly) consisting of 12 items that assess "the patient's ability to forget the artificial joint in everyday life" following activities of daily living -in bed at night; sitting in a chair (\>1hr); walking (\>15 min); taking bath; traveling in a car; climbing stairs; walking on uneven ground; standing up from a low sitting position; standing for long periods; doing housework or gardening; taking a walk or hiking, and involving in a sports activity. The raw scores are transformed to range from 0 to 100 points. High scores indicate a good outcome, which means a high degree of "forgetting" the joint.
The Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)	Baseline	The Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) is a knee-specific instrument, developed to assess the patients' opinion about their knee and associated problems. The KOOS evaluates both short-term and long-term consequences of a knee injury. It holds 42 items in 5 separately scored subscales; Pain, other Symptoms, Function in daily living (ADL), Function in Sport and Recreation (Sport/Rec), and knee-related Quality of Life (QOL). 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
SF-36	Baseline	The 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) is an oft-used, well-researched, self-reported measure of health. It stems from a study called the Medical Outcomes Study. It comprises 36 questions which cover eight domains of health: 1. Limitations in physical activities because of health problems.; 2. Limitations in social activities because of physical or emotional problems; 3. Limitations in usual role activities because of physical health problems; 4. Bodily pain; 5. General mental health (psychological distress and well-being); 6. Limitations in usual role activities because of emotional problems; 7. Vitality (energy and fatigue); 8. General health perceptions
High-Activity Arthroplasty Score	Within a 3-to-5-day period after the first assessment (Second assessment)	The HAAS questionnaire, developed in 2010, is self-reported and comprises the four items walking, running, stair climbing, and the activity level \[20\]. The response level for each item ranges from normal function to serious limitation. The patient selects the highest possible level of his functional ability for each item. A point system for each item is applied whereby a higher score indicates a higher functional ability. The total score ranges from 0 to 18 points. The original version provides no instruction regarding missing answers.
