1.3 Measure Description

For patients age 18 and older undergoing total knee replacement surgery, the average change from pre-operative functional status to one year (nine to fifteen months) post-operative functional status using the Oxford Knee Score (OKS) patient reported outcome tool.

        • 1.14 Numerator

          There is not a traditional numerator for this measure; the measure is calculating the average change in functional status score from pre-operative to post-operative functional status score. The measure is NOT aiming for a numerator target value for a post-operative OKS score.

          For example:
          The average change in knee function was an increase of 15.9 points one year post-operatively on a 48 point scale.

        • 1.15 Denominator

          Adult patients age and older (no upper age limit) who undergo a primary or revision total knee replacement procedure during a calendar year performance period (e.g. dates of procedure occurring between 1/1/2013 and 12/31/2013) AND have a completed pre-operative and post-operative OKS patient reported outcome assessments.

        • Exclusions

          There are no denominator exclusions from the initial patient population for this measure.
