Discussion

Cross-cultural adaptation improves the validity and reliability of the Arabic WOMET in assessing HRQoL concerning meniscal pathology.

The Arabic version of the WOMET demonstrates high reliability with a Cronbach's α value of 0.894 and an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.906.
Correlation coefficients between the Arabic WOMET and the Lysholm and SF-36 were found to be 0.39 and 0.57, indicating reasonable construct validity.
The study included 47 patients with meniscal pathology, ensuring a diverse sampling for cross-cultural validation.
Results confirm that the Arabic WOMET is a reliable instrument for assessing HRQoL among Arabic-speaking patients with meniscal disease.

Albishi et al. (2025) studied this question.
