Development of a core domain set for ankle osteoarthritis: An international consensus study of patients and health professionals
Authors' conclusion
This international consensus study, which included people with ankle OA and health professionals, has established a core domain set for ankle OA with five domains that should be measured and reported in all ankle OA trials - pain severity, health-related quality of life, function, disability and ankle range of motion.
Study context
- Population
- Multidisciplinary health professionals with ankle osteoarthritis (OA) expertise and people with ankle OA, 18 countries (4 continents)
- Participants
- 100 professionals18 countries
- Comparison
- Health professionals vs People with ankle OA
- Health professionalsn = 75
- People with ankle OAn = 25
- Outcome
- Consensus (≥70% agreement in people with ankle OA and health professionals) on inclusion or exclusion of 29 candidate domains in a core domain set for ankle OA
Methodological detailsthree-part Delphi process, online questionnaires, online consensus meeting, international, 29 candidate domains derived from a systematic review of ankle OA research and interviews with people with ankle OA and health professionals
