DASH score during follow-up
IRT calibration of the DASH score
Secondary outcome
1 Is there a relation between the first two levels of AO classification and the
DASH score?
2 How is the relation between the DASH score of the Lidström excellent and
non-excellent group?
3 Is there correlation between the DASAH score and the Lidström score?
4 how does the Lidstrom score behave during the follow-up of distal radial
fractures?
Background summary
The distal radial fracture is a common type of fracture especially in elderly
patients. fifteen percent of al fractures in patients over 65 years of age are
distal radial fractures. In 1997 42.000 patients were diagnosed, with a total
cost of 24 million Euro. There are may studies done to classify the results of
distal radial fracture treatment. Also the Cochrane reviews done on distal
radial fractures could not reach a conclusion due to the heterogenic
populations, the use of different classifications and different in outcome
measurements. The DASH score is a validated tool developed by the American
academy of Orthopaedic Surgical Council of Musculoskeletal Special Societies
(COMSS) and the Institute for Work and Health ( Toronto, Ontario). The DASH
score is mend for the whole upper extremity, and reflects daily activities as
functional outcome.
Study objective
1 to get a data base on the functional out come of our current treatment of
distal radial fractures. These data base should be used for evaluating future
treatment modifications.
2. Evaluate the DASH score. In any score system not al questions contribute
equally to the finale score. We want to calibrate the DASH score.
Study design
There are 4 measurements moments for one patient.
First the intake moment when the distal radial fracture is diagnosed. Here the
DASH score reflecting the pre-accident state is taken.
the DASH scores are repeated at 3 months, 6 months and finally at 12 months
including a final X-ray at 12 months.
The treatment of the distal radial fracture is according the standard treatment
protocol and not subject of this study.
Study burden and risks
First time is needed to do the DASH questionnaire. This is estimated at 10
minutes per time and 20 minutes for the first intake. Total time asked fro the
patient is 1 hour during the year of the study.
The potential harm from one time extra X ray's of the distal radius is so low
that it may be neglected.
The extra X-ray's after one year a necessary to confirm the bone position after
one year of follow-up.
