What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
The Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) Pain Subscale
Time Frame: 3 months after the injection
|
The KOOS holds 42 items in five 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.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Pain Scale Score
Time Frame: Pre-injection, immediately post-injection, 2 weeks, 3 months
|
Pain was measured by a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) marked from 0 (no pain) to 10 (unbearable pain) at rest and with activity.
It was collected at baseline (pre-injection), immediately post-injection on the day of surgery, and at 2 weeks and 3 months.

Pre-injection, immediately post-injection, 2 weeks, 3 months
|
Tegner Activity Level Scale
Time Frame: baseline (pre-injection), 2 weeks, 3 months
|
The Tegner activity level scale is a scale that aims to provide a standardized method of grading work and sporting activities. The Tegner activity level scale is a graduated list of activities of daily living, recreation, and competitive sports. The patient is asked to select the level of participation that best describes their current level of activity and that before injury. A score of 0 represents sick leave or disability pension because of knee problems, whereas a score of 10 corresponds to participation in national and international elite competitive sports. A score >6 can only be achieved if the person participates in recreational or competitive sport. |
