Abstract: On average, patients self-rated their health systematically lower using the EQ-VAS compared to the EQ-5D index and OKS following knee replacement. The EQ-VAS captured information about how patients feel about their health pre-/post-surgical intervention that contrasted with more functional measures of health. Additional qualitative research is needed to better understand these differences. Copyright Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014
