Patient Outcomes
The Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS) and Oxford Shoulder Instability (OSI) Score are 12-item patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) specifically designed and developed for assessing outcomes of shoulder surgery e.g. for assessing the impact on patients’ quality of life of degenerative conditions such as arthritis and rotator cuff problems or instability.
The development of these scores was driven by demands for a suitable patient reported outcome by orthopaedic surgeons who wished to measure the outcomes of their treatments from the patient’s perspective.
I frequently use these scores to assess the severity of patient symptoms, their response to treatment and to audit the results of treatment.
You may be asked to complete one of these scores which should take around 5 minutes of your time.
This will be in electronic format. You will be able to complete your scores on line at: www.iproms.co.uk/login
