The final recommendations voted on at the consensus meeting and the results of the consensus voting
Recommendation statements | Median | IQR | Mode | Consensus voting result | |
S1 | The HAGOS and iHOT instruments (long and reduced versions) are the most appropriate PROMs to use in young and middle-aged active adults with hip-related pain. | 9 | 8–9 | 9 | Appropriate |
S2 | HAGOS and iHOT were developed mainly in surgical context. More research is needed into their utility in a non-surgical treatment context. | 9 | 8–9 | 9 | Appropriate |
S3 | EQ-5D and SF-36 are generic quality of life measures that can supplement the hip-related measures, HAGOS and iHOT. | 9 | 8–9 | 9 | Appropriate |
S4 | Future research should include further analysis of content and structural validity, and the relationship between individual measurement error and the minimal clinically important change for the recommended PROMs. | 9 | 8–9 | 9 | Appropriate |
