Prediction of hand function improvement after thumb base osteoarthritis surgery
Based on the paper of Loos and Hoogendam et al. (submitted)
This model predicts the probability that a patient will have a clinically relevant improvement in hand function 12 months after surgery.
Input to the model is the hand function of a patient before surgery. This is measured with the Michigan Hand outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ).
The model also calculates this MHQ hand function score before surgery if needed.
