Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score

The Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) is a patient-reported outcome measure developed to assess pain, symptoms, function, and quality of life in patients with hip osteoarthritis and hip disability. Developed by Nilsdotter and colleagues in 2003, HOOS parallels the structure of KOOS (Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score) but is specifically tailored for the hip joint, making it the reference standard for hip osteoarthritis outcomes in clinical trials and practice.
