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

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the development and validation of the QOOS ACL, a questionnaire for assessing outcomes in ACL patient populations. The speaker explains that the original structure of the QOOS was not confirmed when assessing ACL patients, leading to the development of a new structure for the QOOS ACL. The QOOS ACL consists of 12 items, with eight items making up a function score and four items making up a sport score. The speaker describes the validation process, which included preliminary validation and external validation using a cohort of over 800 young patients. The speaker concludes by stating that the QOOS ACL should be used in place of the full-length QOOS for assessing young, active patients with ACL tears, as it has been shown to have adequate structural validity and psychometric properties. The shorter questionnaire reduces patient burden and may increase follow-up rates.
