  • What Is the Relationship Between Clinician-reported and Patient-reported Outcomes in Orthopaedic Surgery? [Journal Article]

  • CONCLUSIONS: Based on currently available studies related to musculoskeletal conditions, PROMs and CROMs show variable associations with one another. The stronger correlations between soft CROMs and condition-specific PROMs suggest that when the goal is to establish benchmarks, a condition-specific PROM should be paired with a soft CROM. In contrast, hard CROMs may be particularly useful in short-term rehabilitation settings, where objective performance changes are a primary focus of evaluation. We recommend that orthopaedic studies and registries include, at a minimum, one condition-specific PROM (or soft CROM) and one hard CROM to ensure a multidimensional assessment of patient outcomes and improve interpretability across studies.

  • External Evaluation Reveals Reduced Performance of the PathFX Survival Model in 1018 Patients With Extremity Metastases. [Journal Article]

  • CONCLUSIONS: Based on the findings of this study, PathFX in its current form is insufficient for clinical use in patients with long-bone metastases undergoing surgery, as it consistently underestimates survival. Recalibration of the model through development of an updated cohort with stepwise model updating and subgroup stability checks is warranted; however, even after recalibration, complete model redevelopment may ultimately be required before PathFX can be reliably used to guide surgical decision-making.
