Development and Validation of the KOOS-ACL: A Short-form Version of the KOOS for Young Patients with ACL Tears

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the development and validation of the QOOS ACL, a questionnaire used to assess outcomes in patients with ACL tears. The speaker explains that the previous version of the QOOS did not have adequate structural validity for ACL patients, leading to the creation of a shortened version. Through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, the QOOS ACL was developed as a 12-item questionnaire with a function score and a sport score. The measure was validated in two datasets, and its psychometric properties were deemed acceptable at multiple time points. The speaker emphasizes that the QOOS ACL is more appropriate for young active patients with ACL tears and can reduce patient burden. They thank their supervisors and research groups for their support.
