A scoping review of patient self-report measures of flare in knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA): A report from the OMERACT flares in OA working group
Authors' conclusion
Most identified instruments considered different aspects of pain and the associated discomfort in performing daily activities but did not include the central aspects of flare in OA, i.e. the change of state, nor the additional Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) endorsed domains for OA flare namely stiffness, swelling, psychological aspects, impact of symptoms including fatigue and sleep disturbance.
