The International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee Evaluation Form is a knee-specific instrument composed of 18 questions. It is commonly used in adult and pediatric studies as a surgical outcome measure. Normative data exist for an adult population, but there have been no published normative results for younger subjects.
To compile and report pilot normative International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee Evaluation Form scores in a preadolescent population.
Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3.
The International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee Evaluation Form was administered to 146 seventh-grade students (aged 12-14 years) at 2 local schools. The form was administered in its original format. Demographic and descriptive results were compiled.
One hundred twenty-five completed responses were eligible for analysis. The mean age was 13.2 years (SD, 0.5; range, 12.2-14.2 years); 15% of participants had a history of knee injury or pain. The mean International Knee Documentation Committee score for all respondents was 89.4 (SD, 10.5; 95% confidence interval, 87.6-91.3; range, 52-100).
This study provides pilot normative data for mean International Knee Documentation Committee scores in a preadolescent population. The mean score in this younger cohort is consistent with normative data of adults age 35 years or younger. Although the International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee Evaluation Form is often used in adolescent surgical studies, its validity in these populations remains to be established. Further work to establish the psychometric properties of the current form in younger age groups would be of significant benefit to clinicians.
国际膝关节文献委员会主观膝关节评估表是一种针对膝关节的工具，由18个问题组成。它常用于成人和儿童研究，作为手术结果的衡量指标。已有成人人群的规范数据，但尚未发表关于较年轻受试者的规范结果。
汇编并报告青春期前人群国际膝关节文献委员会主观膝关节评估表的初步规范评分。
横断面研究；证据等级，3级。
对当地2所学校的146名七年级学生（年龄12 - 14岁）进行国际膝关节文献委员会主观膝关节评估表测试。该表格以原始格式进行测试。收集人口统计学和描述性结果。
125份完整回复符合分析条件。平均年龄为13.2岁（标准差，0.5；范围，12.2 - 14.2岁）；15%的参与者有膝关节损伤或疼痛史。所有受访者的国际膝关节文献委员会平均评分为89.4（标准差，10.5；95%置信区间，87.6 - 91.3；范围，52 - 100）。
本研究提供了青春期前人群国际膝关节文献委员会平均评分的初步规范数据。这个较年轻队列的平均评分与35岁及以下成年人的规范数据一致。尽管国际膝关节文献委员会主观膝关节评估表常用于青少年手术研究，但其在这些人群中的有效性仍有待确定。进一步研究确定该表格在较年轻年龄组的心理测量特性将对临床医生有很大帮助。
