Abstract

Billions of people around the world are affecting from various joint diseases among which osteoarthritis is one of the most common condition. Osteoarthritis (OA) affects a patient’s quality of life and have significant impact on individuals and on the society as well. For evaluation of patient’s condition with OA, patient reported outcome measures (PROs) are a useful measure which is widely used in clinical settings. This review focuses on the validity, reliability of seven scales that are used for evaluation of knee osteoarthritis and availability of these scales Bengali translated version for using in Bangladeshi population. From the seven English version scales only four scales (WOMAC, KOOS, SF-36 and SF-12) are having Bengali translated version. Among which only three (WOMAC, SF-36 and SF-12) scales are proved to be reliable and valid for general use. But a matter of fact that among the Bengali translated versions only SF-12 Bengali version is easily available in the internet for regular use but it lacks in measuring the pain intensity of patient. So, Bengali translation of other new outcome measures like ICOAP, KOOS-PS should be done and already translated and validated versions should be made available for public use.
