Question

Long term real-world data is needed on AposHealth's clinical effectiveness and cost benefit

Any explanatory notes
(if applicable)

The committee recommended that further research is needed for people whose condition meets the referral criteria for knee replacement surgery, but who cannot have surgery because it would be unsafe, and for the wider population of people with knee osteoarthritis because of the uncertainty around the clinical and cost evidence. The committee agreed that research with outcomes including standard care resource use, health-related quality of life, and long-term outcomes such as rates of total knee replacement should be collected. It noted that health-related quality of life data may be collected using standardised patient-reported outcome measures, such as the EQ-5D.
