Feasibility of Knee PROMs in Older Chinese Population: A Cross-Sectional Comparative Study of WOMAC, KOOS, and OKS.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are widely used to evaluate knee function and symptoms. WOMAC, KOOS, and OKS are commonly used knee-specific PROMs, and their validity and reliability are well established. However, there is limited research focusing on their feasibility among older Chinese population. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of WOMAC, KOOS, and OKS among Chinese individuals aged 45 years and older, and to provide recommendations for their clinical application. Methods: Questionnaires, including the three PROMs, informed consent forms, and demographic information, were distributed online to Chinese individuals aged 45 years and older. Study outcomes included completion time, feasibility scores, item skipping rate, PROM abandonment rate, total score of each PROM, and their intercorrelations. Results: The completion time for WOMAC was significantly longer than OKS, but shorter than KOOS ( Conclusion: All three PROMs demonstrated good feasibility and strong inter-scale correlations in the older Chinese population. KOOS required the longest completion time, while WOMAC and OKS achieved higher feasibility scores. Higher educational level was associated with greater feasibility across all PROMs, whereas older age primarily prolonged completion time without significantly reducing feasibility.
