Figure 1 Unadjusted mean Westarn Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores and overall Health Utility Index 3 (HUI3) scores for total knee arthroplasty within the preoperative month (pre-op) and at the three postoperative measurement times. Error bars indicate standard deviations. (a) WOMAC pain scores with lower scores representing less pain. (b) WOMAC function scores with lower scores indicating greater function. (c) Overall HUI3 scores. Negative scores assigned to health states are considered to be worse than dead, a score of zero reflects the health state ‘dead’ and 1.0 indicates ‘perfect health’.
