TL;DR
The study aimed to describe self-assessed disability, using the Nottingham Health Profile, in patients with arthrosis of the hip joint, to test the reliability of the Swedish version of the NHP, and to compare disability perceived by the patient with the Charnley/d'Aubignet score.
Abstract
The study aimed to describe self-assessed disability, using the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP), in patients with arthrosis of the hip joint, to test the reliability of the Swedish version of the NHP, and to compare disability perceived by the patient with the Charnley/d'Aubignet score. The NHP was administered twice to 73 patients, waiting for total hip replacement. Pain, energy, sleep, and mobility were severely affected. The correlations between subjective and objective scores were, apart from pain, moderate. The two test administrations correlated highly. In conclusion, the NHP is a reliable instrument, which may provide valuable supplementary information in the assessment of disability.

John Charnley's single-minded pursuit of his ideas for the improvement of the surgical treatment of hip disease led to the opening of the Centre for Hip Surgery at Wrightington and to the development of his idea of a low-friction arthroplasty of the hip.

A multidimensional index that measures the health status of individuals with arthritis has been developed and results indicate that the instrument is practical and that it generates scalable, reliable, and valid measures of both aggregated and disaggregated health status.

The study indicates that the Nottingham Health Profile is a valid and sensitive measure of subjective health, which may well be a better predictor of need for and utilization of health services than “hard” data such as mortality and morbidity statistics.

It is suggested that some patients restrict their activity as their cardiac disease progresses; the resultant change in the definition of ordinary activity may reduce the apparent degree of cardiac compromise and thus give a false impression of improvement by NYHA criteria.
