| Study | Study type | Comparisons | Findings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hagberg et al, 200829 | Two-year follow-up on osseointegrated prosthesis | Q-TFA and SF-36 assessments at baseline and 2 years | Q-TFA global score significantly different at 2 years from baseline (p = 0.002). SF-36 general health score no different at 2 years from baseline (p = ns) |
| Brånemark, et al, 201417 | Follow-up on osseointegreated prosthesis for TFA at baseline and 2 years | Q-TFA and SF-36 assessments at baseline and 2 years | Q-TFA global score significantly different at 2 years from baseline (p < 0.001). SF-36 general health score no different at 2 years from baseline (p = ns) |
| Hagberg et al, 20148 | Two-year follow-up on osseointegrated prosthesis | Q-TFA and SF-36 assessments at baseline, and 1 and 2 years | Q-TFA global score significantly different from baseline at 1 and 2 years (p < 0.001). SF-36 global significantly different, albeit less sensitive than Q-TFA (p = 0.007). This SF-36 difference represented a minimal important difference which is the smallest difference considered of relevance to a patient. |
| Brånemark et al, 201913 | Follow-up on osseointegreated prosthesis for TFA at baseline, and 2 and 5 years | Q-TFA and SF-36 assessments at baseline, and 2 and 5 years | Q-TFA global score significantly different at 2 and 5 years from baseline (p < 0.0001). SF-36 general health score no different at 2 and 5 years from baseline (p = ns) |
| Pospeich et al, 20207 | Matched cohort (osseointegrated vs socket prosthesis) for TFA | Q-TFA and EQ-5D-3L assessments in osseointegrated vs socket prothesis amputees | Statistically signficant differences found between osseointegrated and socket prosthesis on Q-TFA global (p = 0.02); no statistical difference in EQ-5D-3L (p = 0.479) |
