                      assessment values (i.e. Western Ontario and McMaster
                      University Osteoarthritis Index [WOMAC]) and generic pain
                      and function (visual analog scale [VAS], Hanover

                      risk of long-term mortality in a cohort of patients with
                      advanced OA of the hip or knee.The Ulm Osteoarthritis Study
                      was a prospective cohort study of OA patients with
                      unilateral total hip or knee replacement between January
                      1995 and December 1996. Correlation coefficients were
                      calculated to describe the agreement between the different
                      assessments. Mortality was assessed during the follow-up
                      period (last update: July 2019). Cox proportional regression
                      models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) for
                      mortality after adjusting for covariates.Arthroplasty was
                      accompanied by a clear reduction in pain and improved
                      function throughout all assessments in the 706 included
                      patients. The results of the adjusted Cox models showed no
                      relationship between baseline and follow-up joint-specific
                      WOMAC assessments and long-term mortality. However, an
                      independent increased risk of mortality was found with
                      generic function assessments. In the final adjusted model,
                      the HR for the 12-month follow-up value was 1.79 $(95\%$
                      confidence interval, 1.24-2.60) in the group with clinically
                      relevant impairment versus the reference group.Poor function
                      based on the generic assessment was associated with
                      increased long-term mortality, suggesting that functional
                      impairments in daily life activities may be more important
                      for long-term survival than OA-specific impairments in this
                      patient group. This article is protected by copyright. All
