SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 2 days

Population: Final analysis population (completed from Participant Flow)

Pain intensity will be assessed using a pain inventory modified from Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). The BPI has a range of 0-10 where: 0 = no pain, 1-3 = mild pain, 4-6 = moderate pain, 7-10 = severe pain. Outcome measure was updated at the time of results entry.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 weeks post operation

Population: This measure was not used but the Brief Pain Inventory: Interference scale was used instead.

The Harris Hip Score (HHS) assesses post operative conditions following hip surgery. The HHS uses a 100 point score wherethe scores are interpreted as follows: \< 70 = poor, 70-79 = fair, 80-89 = good and 90-100 = excellent.

Population: Final analysis population (completed from Participant Flow)

The Brief Pain Inventory: Interference (BPI:I) was used in place of the Harris Hip Score (HHS) to assess post operative conditions following hip surgery. The BPI:I uses a 10 point score where the normal range of scores is: 0 no interference - 10 complete interference.
