The objective of this article was to give an overview of published self-assessment (self-administered and interview-based) instruments on pain, physical function, and patient global assessment for patients with hip and/or knee osteoarthritis. To evaluate the selected questionnaires, data on the descriptive and psychometric qualities of the instruments were systematically collected and rated using a checklist. This overview will facilitate the choice of the most appropriate questionnaires to measure the OMERACT outcome dimension in patients with osteoarthristis of the hip and/or knee. (aut. ref.)
