  1. Abbreviations: OA; osteoarthritis, SD, standard deviation; SEM, standard error of measurement; ICC agreement, intraclass correlation coefficient for agreement; CI, confidence interval. A normalized score (100 indicating no symptoms and 0 indicating extreme symptoms) is calculated for each subscale. Revision of TKA; Revision of total knee arthroplasty, AD; Activities of daily living; QoL; Quality of life.
