The AAOS will continue to refine the instruments and plans to release completely validated instruments in early 1997.

This paper explains the method by which outcomes instruments can be analyzed to determine whether different instruments function in parallel. Here, the SF-36 correlated well with more specific questions used in the lumbar spine study.
