Discussion

Cross-sectional study assesses KOOS-12 validity and reliability in 105 patients with knee osteoarthritis, suggesting its clinical applicability.

The Persian KOOS-12 exhibited excellent test–retest reliability, with an ICC above 0.75 indicating strong consistency.
Construct validity was validated through high correlations with established measures, including KOOS (r = 0.81) and WOMAC (r = -0.77).
Internal consistency showed favorable results, with Cronbach's alpha indicating good to excellent reliability within the 0.70 to 0.90 range.
Results highlight the necessity for culturally adapted instruments, supporting the KOOS-12's relevance in clinical settings.

Pakdel et al. (2025) studied this question.
