Data collection arrangements
Around 6000 patients undergo treatment in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, each year. General demographic and service satisfaction data has been routinely collected as part of service audit.
As part of standard service audit we collect preoperative and postoperative quality of life scores along with basic demographic and procedure data. Current data: SF-36, SF-12 and EQ-5D Quality of Life Health Measures; comorbidities; joint and disease specific questionnaire results; expectation and satisfaction data. Particularly sensitive data will not be held.
In addition we plan to collect disease and procedure specific functional data through specific validated questionnaires. The scores administered will be tailored to the particular procedure to minimise the size of the questionnaire and time taken to complete.
Full list of potential scores in alphabetical order: ASS(Affected Shoulder Score); Athletic Hip Score; Constant Murley Shoulder Score; DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder or Hand); EQ-5D; Eynseck Personality Index; HSS(Hospital for Special Surgery) Hip Expectation Survey; HSS Knee Expectation Survey; Manchester Oxford Foot Questionnaire; Orthowave Satisfaction Survey; ODI(Oswestry Disability Index); Oxford Hip Score; Oxford Knee Score; Oxford Shoulder Score; SF-36 QoL; SF-12 QoL; TESS(Toronto Extremity Salvage Score); WORQ(Work Rehabilitation Questionnaire); WOSI(Western Ontario Stability Index).
