OE Journal. 2013;1(11):184 BMC; 2011; 12; 19020 elderly female participants with knee osteoarthritis (OA) were randomized to answer questionnaires, such as VAS pain and the Physical Activity Scale, on traditional paper or a touch screen first. The results of the study indicated that there were significant differences between the paper and online version of the ADL Taxonomy. However, all other questionnaires gave similar results in both groups.
Was the allocation sequence adequately generated?
Was allocation adequately concealed?
Blinding Treatment Providers: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Blinding Outcome Assessors: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Blinding Patients: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Was loss to follow-up (missing outcome data) infrequent?
Are reports of the study free of suggestion of selective outcome reporting?
Were outcomes objective, patient-important and assessed in a manner to limit bias (ie. duplicate assessors, Independent assessors)?
Was the sample size sufficiently large to assure a balance of prognosis and sufficiently large number of outcome events?
Was investigator expertise/experience with both treatment and control techniques likely the same (ie.were criteria for surgeon participation/expertise provided)?

مؤشر الهشاشة هو أداة تساعد في تفسير النتائج المهمة، وتوفر مقياسًا لقوة النتيجة. ويمثل مؤشر الهشاشة عدد الأحداث المتتالية التي يجب إضافتها إلى نتيجة ثنائية التفرع لجعل النتيجة غير مهمة. يمثل الرقم الصغير نتيجة أضعف ويمثل الرقم الكبير نتيجة أقوى.
لماذا كانت هناك حاجة لهذه الدراسة الآن؟
The traditional paper form of administering health status questionnaires can be time consuming and error prone. On the other hand, computer-based questionnaires have the ability to not only save time but also to simplify the process. The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the data collected from traditional paper questionnaires to the computerized version and analyze similarity and patient acceptance.
ما هو سؤال البحث الرئيسي؟
Do computerized versions of health status questionnaires give comparable results to the traditional paper forms, in female patients with knee OA?
- KOOS, VAS, SF-36 and Physical Activity Scales displayed high ICC values between the two groups (p>0.8)
- the ADL Taxonomy displayed a mean difference of 0.5 for ICC values, but this difference was due to the responses of one individual
- 16 out of 20 patients preferred the computerized version questionnaire
ما الذي يجب أن أتذكره أكثر؟
There are no significant differences in responses between the computerized and traditional paper version of questionnaires.
كيف سيؤثر ذلك على رعاية مرضاي؟
Physicians should consider other factors, such as available time, to determine which questionnaire style is more appropriate.
