MeasureTime frameDescription
Hip Visual Analog Scale (VAS) - PainScreening, 6 months, and 12 monthsVAS scores as reported by the site were converted if required such that all data was reported on a scale of 0-100 (e.g. if the scale was 0-10, then the value was multiplied by 10). Note that VAS scores should be interpreted with caution as use of pain medications may affect the results. A higher score indicates more pain.
