Core Tip
Core Tip: In this study, we compared an artificial intelligence (AI) tool measuring anteroposterior hip radiographs against manual readers for assessing hip dysplasia (HD) associations with patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). The AI tool, HIPPO, efficiently generated radiographic measurements but showed poor correlations with PROMs, highlighting its current limitations in predicting clinical outcomes solely from radiological data. This indicates that while AI can aid radiographic assessments, PROMs remain crucial for capturing subjective patient experiences. The findings underscore the importance of integrating PROMs as an additional element in the clinical decision-making processes for HD, while also incorporating efficient radiographic assessment by AI tools.
