Sintesi	The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) is a widely used patient-reported outcome measure designed to assess pain, stiffness, and physical function in patients with osteoarthritis of the hip or knee. Developed by Bellamy and colleagues in 1988, it has become the gold standard outcome measure in osteoarthritis clinical trials and practice.	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.	The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) is a disease-specific measure of disability due to low back pain, originally developed by Fairbank and colleagues in 1980. It is one of the most widely used outcome measures in spine care, enabling clinicians and researchers to quantify the functional impact of low back pain and track treatment response in patients across acute, subacute, and chronic presentations.
