| Popis: | Aim To assess the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients waiting for an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction compared to the population at risk, and whether knee specific function was predictive of HRQoL and to identify factors associated with a worse HRQoL. Method Sixty-seven patients (male n = 50, female n = 17, mean age 29) identified from the surgical waiting list completed a questionnaire that included demographics, BMI, time of injury, EuroQol 5-demension (EQ-5D), short-form (SF-)36 and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) scores. Age and sex matched HRQoL data were obtained from population level data. Results The mean EQ-5D score for the study cohort was significantly worse than the matched score (difference 0.367, p Conclusions Patients had a significantly worse HRQoL when compared to age and sex match population, which deteriorates with worsening physical function and increasing length of time on the waiting list. The knee specific IKDC correlated with HRQoL and could be used to estimate the EQ-5D score. |
