| Brief Description |
OA-Quest is a novel, multidimensional, nonjointspecific questionnaire developed to comprehensively measure the domains of osteoarthritis burden that are of particular importance to patients and clinicians. Definitions of an a priori conceptual framework of the Personal Burden of Osteoarthritis (PBO) guided the construction of the OA-Quest. The questionnaire is composed of seven brief (4–11 items; total 42 items), independent scales. |
