| Men | 289 | 68 (66 to 71) | 0.87 |
| Women | 393 | 71 (64 to 76) | 0.81 |
| Preoperative PROMIS-10 PCS < 50 | 573 | 66 (64 to 71) | 0.83 |
| Preoperative PROMIS-10 PCS ≥ 50 | 99 | 76 (55 to 76) | 0.93 |
| Preoperative PROMIS-10 MCS < 50 | 290 | 68 (66 to 73) | 0.79 |

The KOOS JR is scored from 0 to 100, where 0 represents total knee disability and 100 represents perfect knee health.
AUROC between 0.7 and 0.8 is considered acceptable, and between 0.8 and 0.9 is considered excellent. AUROC = area under the receiver operating curve; PROMIS = Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System; PCS = physical component score; MCS = mental component score.
