Assessment of patient relevant outcomes in knee osteoarthritis patients using the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) scale

Knee osteoarthritis causes physical, functional limitations and difficulty in performing activities of daily living and mobility. The study aimed to assess patient-relevant outcomes in knee osteoarthritis patients using the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) scale. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 120 patients. KOOS scale contains five subscales: pain, symptom, activities of daily living, sports/recreation, and quality of life. Score zero indicates the worst possible knee problems, while score 100 indicates no knee problems. Non-parametric tests, multiple linear regression analysis, and correlation were calculated for the data. The level of significance was p
