Comparing Digital and Paper Methods for Patient-Reported Outcomes After Knee Replacement Surgery Assessing Patient Participation and Satisfaction Using Oxford Knee Score

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are comparing two methods for detecting patient outcomes after knee prosthetic surgery. The study evaluates the traditional paper questionnaire method using the Oxford Knee Score in outpatient settings versus a digital questionnaire delivered via Google Forms to patients smartphones. The goal is to validate whether the digital method is a reliable alternative for assessing patient-reported outcomes measures PROMs related to knee arthrosis discomfort. Patients will complete the Oxford Knee Score questionnaire both on paper during outpatient visits and digitally through Google Forms sent to their devices. The questionnaires are administered during pre-hospitalization and follow-up visits at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery. The digital responses must be completed within 48 hours of the outpatient visit to be considered valid. The study will compare patients adherence and satisfaction with both methods and analyze any differences in knee score results and outpatient assessment times. Participants will be evaluated at multiple time points starting one month before surgery through six months post-operation. Researchers will monitor patient adherence to the digital questionnaire after each visit and assess the consistency between the paper and digital Oxford Knee Score results. The study also tracks the time needed for outpatient assessments. Overall participant involvement includes completing questionnaires and attending scheduled follow-up visits, with the study lasting at least six months after surgery.
