Functional outcomes: total score of the joint-specific functional scales. |
The joint-specific functional scales derive from the following validated questionnaires: Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score - Short Form (HOOS-PS) for patients undergoing hip replacement; Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score - Short Form (KOOS-PS) for patients undergoing knee replacement; the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form (ASES), for patients undergoing shoulder implants. For all questionnaires the items are coded from 0 to 4, no functional difficulty to extreme functional difficulty respectively. The total score of the questionnaires can go from 0 (worst outcome) to 100 (best outcome). |

Euro-Quality-5-Dimensions questionnaire scores. |
Euro Quality 5 Dimensions, EQ-5D, will be used for the general assessment of patient's health status. The EQ-5D is a standardized instrument for measuring generic health status. Health status is measured in terms of five dimensions (5D); mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. The respondents are asked to choose one of the statements which best describes their health status of surveyed day. Rated level can be coded as a number 1, 2, or 3, which indicates having no problems for 1, having some problems for 2, and having extreme problems for 3. As a result, a person's health status can be defined by a 5-digit number, ranging from 11111 (having no problems in all dimensions) to 33333 (having extreme problems in all dimensions). |

Visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS) scores |
The respondents evaluate their overall health status using the visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS), asking to mark health status on the day of the interview on a 20 cm vertical scale with end points of 0 and 100: (0) corresponds to " the worst health you can imagine", and (100) corresponds to "the best health you can imagine". |
