The DYNHA® Osteoarthritis (OA) Impact Survey is a brief, multi-item, computerized adaptive assessment of
the impact of osteoarthritis on an individual's life. It surpasses traditional measures of
disability associated with a specific disease by assessing relevant aspects of functional health
and well-being (including physical, social and psychological domains) as it assesses the level of
impact that OA has on a patient's physical functioning, social/role participation, ability to engage
in recreational and leisure activities, psychological distress/well-being, and vitality.
The DYNHA OA Impact Survey is a patient-reported assessment that:
- Is precise, reliable, and well-documented
- Is fast to complete and score
- Can be used to measure changes over time beyond pain relief (product marketing)
- Is easy for clinicians and patients to interpret
This two-part online survey includes
- A computer adaptive battery that draws on 37 items in an item pool selected to capture
the effect of osteoarthritis, its symptoms, and its treatment on an individual's functional status and well-being
- An optional battery to obtain patient-reported information on pain, medications, and treatment satisfaction
- Can be used to measure changes over time beyond pain relief (product marketing)
- Is easy for clinicians and patients to interpret
Online delivery of the disease impact battery survey uses QualityMetric's DYNHA
computer-adaptive software to select and score only those items required to calculate a precise score
for the individual. While the software offers a unique short-form survey for each respondent, all items
have been calibrated on the same metric, enabling patients to compare their own disease impact scores
over time and clinicians to compare scores across patients and over time.
