TLDR
These two widely used measures, the Roland–Morris Disability Questionnaire (RDQ) or the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), are described and evidence of their validity and reliability and some comparative results obtained with the use of the two questionnaires are provided.
Abstract
Condition-specific health status measures are commonly used as outcome measures in clinical trials and to assess patient progress in routine clinical practice. The expert panel that met to discuss this special issue of Spine recommended that, when possible, a condition-specific measure for back pain should be chosen from two widely used measures, the Roland–Morris Disability Questionnaire (RDQ) or the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). These two measures have been used in a wide variety of situations over many years, and each is available in a number of languages. In this article, the authors describe these two instruments and provide evidence of their validity and reliability and some comparative results obtained with the use of the two questionnaires. The instruments themselves are included in the appendixes. When used in the forms reproduced in the appendixes, no permission is required from the authors or from Spine. Other back pain–specific health status measures are described by Kopec elsewhere in this edition of Spine.

Interpreting change scores for pain and functional status in low back pain: towards international consensus regarding minimal important change.

TL;DR: Proposed MIC values are not the final answer but offer a common starting point for future research and facilitate the use of these measures in clinical practice and the comparability of future studies.

Minimum clinically important difference in lumbar spine surgery patients: a choice of methods using the Oswestry Disability Index, Medical Outcomes Study questionnaire Short Form 36, and pain scales.

TL;DR: A review of prospectively collected patient-reported outcomes data shows the minimum detectable change (MDC) appears as a statistically and clinically appropriate MCID value.

Efficacy and safety of balloon kyphoplasty compared with non-surgical care for vertebral compression fracture (FREE): a randomised controlled trial.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that balloon kyphoplasty is an effective and safe procedure for patients with acute vertebral fractures and will help to inform decisions regarding its use as an early treatment option.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinically important outcomes in low back pain.

TL;DR: It is argued that the MCIC should not be considered as a fixed value and that theMCIC values presented in this chapter are used as indications, and that, from the point of view of cost effectiveness, every day of earlier return to work is important.

Guidelines for the process of cross-cultural adaptation of self-report measures.

TL;DR: The guidelines described in this document are based on a review of cross-cultural adaptation in the medical, sociological, and psychological literature and led to the description of a thorough adaptation process designed to maximize the attainment of semantic, idiomatic, experiential, and conceptual equivalence between the source and target questionnaires.

TL;DR: The data indicate that the McGill Pain Questionnaire provides quantitative information that can be treated statistically, and is sufficiently sensitive to detect differences among different methods to relieve pain.

The Oswestry Disability Index.

TL;DR: The ODI remains a valid and vigorous measure and has been a worthwhile outcome measure, and the process of using the ODI is reviewed and should be the subject of further research.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed the Sickness Impact Profile (SIP), a behaviorally based measure of health status, and evaluated its reliability and validity using multitrait-multimethod technique.
