The Oxford elbow score (OES) is an English questionnaire that measures the patients' subjective experience of elbow surgery. The OES comprises three domains: elbow function, pain, and social-psychological effects. This questionnaire can be completed by the patient and used as an outcome measure after elbow surgery. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate the Dutch version of the translated OES for reliability, validity and responsiveness with respect to patients after elbow trauma and surgery.
The 12 items of the English-language OES were translated into Dutch and then back-translated; the back-translated questionnaire was then compared to the original English version. The OES Dutch version was completed by 69 patients (group A), 60 of whom had an elbow luxation, four an elbow fracture and five an epicondylitis. QuickDASH, the visual analogue pain scale (VAS) and the Mayo Elbow Performance Index (MEPI) were also completed to examine the convergent validity of the OES in group A. To calculate the test-retest reliability and responsiveness of the OES, this questionnaire was completed three times by 43 different patients (group B). An average of 52 days elapsed between therapy and the administration of the third OES (SD = 24.1).
The Cronbach's α coefficients for the function, pain and social-psychological domains were 0.90, 0.87 and 0.90, respectively. The intra-class correlation coefficients for the domains were 0.87 for function, 0.89 for pain and 0.87 for social-psychological. The standardised response means for the domains were 0.69, 0.46 and 0.60, respectively, and the minimal detectable changes were 27.6, 21.7 and 24.0, respectively. The convergent validity for the function, pain and social-psychological domains, which were measured as the Spearman's correlation of the OES domains with the MEPI, were 0.68, 0.77 and 0.77, respectively. The Spearman's correlations of the OES domains with QuickDASH were -0.43, -0.44 and -0.47, respectively, and the Spearman's correlations with the VAS were -0.33, -0.38 and -0.42, respectively.
The Dutch OES is a reliable and valid 12-item questionnaire that can be completed within several minutes by patients with elbow injuries. This Dutch questionnaire was useful as an outcome measure in patients with elbow trauma.
牛津肘部评分（OES）是一种衡量肘部手术患者主观体验的英文问卷。OES 包含三个领域：肘部功能、疼痛和社会心理影响。该问卷可由患者自行填写，作为肘部创伤和手术后的疗效评估工具。本研究旨在开发并评估经翻译后的荷兰语版 OES 的可靠性、有效性和反应度，以评估肘部创伤和手术后患者的情况。
12 个英语版 OES 条目被译为荷兰语，再由母语为英语的人翻译回英语，比较回译版本与原始英语版本的差异。69 名患者（A 组）完成了荷兰语版 OES 问卷，其中 60 名患者为肘部脱位，4 名患者为肘部骨折，5 名患者为肱骨外上髁炎。A 组患者还填写了快速残疾指数（QuickDASH）、视觉模拟疼痛量表（VAS）和 Mayo 肘部功能评分（MEPI），以评估 OES 的相关性。为计算 OES 的重测信度和反应度，43 名不同患者（B 组）分三次填写 OES 问卷，平均两次填写之间的间隔为 52 天（标准差为 24.1）。
功能、疼痛和社会心理领域的 Cronbach's α 系数分别为 0.90、0.87 和 0.90，各领域的组内相关系数分别为 0.87、0.89 和 0.87。功能、疼痛和社会心理领域的标准化反应均值分别为 0.69、0.46 和 0.60，最小可检测变化值分别为 27.6、21.7 和 24.0。OES 各领域与 MEPI 的 Spearman 相关系数为 0.68、0.77 和 0.77，功能、疼痛和社会心理领域的相关性良好；OES 各领域与 QuickDASH 的 Spearman 相关系数分别为-0.43、-0.44 和-0.47，与 VAS 的 Spearman 相关系数分别为-0.33、-0.38 和-0.42。
荷兰语版 OES 是一种可靠有效的 12 条目问卷，可在几分钟内由肘部损伤患者完成。该问卷在肘部创伤患者中作为一种疗效评估工具非常有用。
