Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the internal consistency of the Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score-Physical Function Short-form (HOOS-PS) and the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score-Physical Function Short-form (KOOS-PS) in total hip replacement (THR) and total knee (TKR) replacement. Construct validity and responsiveness were compared to the Western Ontario McMaster Universities' Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Likert 3.0 physical function (PF) subscale and the PF excluding the items in the short measures (PF-exclusions). METHODS: Participants completed the full HOOS or KOOS, measures of fatigue, anxiety, depression and the Chronic Pain Grade (CPG) pre-surgery and the HOOS or KOOS 6 months post-surgery. Internal consistency for the HOOS-PS and KOOS-PS was calculated using Cronbach's alpha. For construct validity, it was hypothesized that correlations between the HOOS-PS or KOOS-PS and PF and PF-exclusions with fatigue, CPG, anxiety and depression and HOOS/KOOS pain scales would differ by magnitudes of <0.1. Standardized response means (SRMs) were calculated for the HOOS-PS, KOOS-PS, PF and PF-exclusions and hypothesized to be >1. RESULTS: The THR group (n=201) had a mean age of 62.3 years; 53.2% were female. The TKR group (n=248) had a mean age of 64.5 years; 63.7% were female. Cronbach's alpha was 0.79 and 0.89 for the HOOS-PS and KOOS-PS, respectively, confirming that the measures represented a homogeneous construct. The correlation of the HOOS-PS to the PF and PF-exclusions was 0.90 and 0.86, respectively; r=0.90 (PF) and r=0.85 (PF-exclusions) for the KOOS-PS. The results supported the construct validity hypotheses. For THR, the SRM was 1.5, 1.7 and 1.7 for the HOOS-PS, PF and PF-exclusions; for TKR, the SRM was 1.4, 1.5 and 1.7, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The short HOOS-PS and KOOS-PS represent homogenous short measures of PF with similar construct validity and responsiveness to the 17-item PF. The HOOS-PS and KOOS-PS are parsimonious, valid and responsive for evaluating PF in THR and TKR.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
