Important for proper patient management, PROs should be used postinjury to evaluate treatment effective- ness and assess overall HRQOL throughout the treatment process. At this time, very few studies have compared HRQOL scores between healthy athletes and injured athletes.9–13 The few studies measuring HRQOL suggest a decrease in HRQOL in injured athletes or athletes with an injury history compared with their uninjured counter- parts.9–15 However, examining other variables, such as participation status, time lost, and injury severity, has yet to be performed and may be useful to further understand the impact of sport-related injury on HRQOL in athletes. Furthermore, to date, the literature has yet to determine if HRQOL deficits are captured using PROs specifically designed to assess HRQOL in athletes, such as the Dis- ablement in the Physically Active Scale (DPA). Exam- ining the impact of injury history, participation status, time lost, and injury severity using the DPA may provide unique insight into the HRQOL of athletes postinjury.
