Factors Influencing Pain Response Following Patient Education and Supervised Exercise in Male and Female Subjects With Hip Osteoarthritis
Authors' conclusion
Findings suggest that the influence of some factors on pain response differ for male and female subjects
Study context
- Population
- Individuals with hip osteoarthritis (OA) participating in the Danish Good Life With Osteoarthritis in Denmark 8-week education and exercise program
- Participants
- 2,253 vs 791
- Exposure
- Women vs men
- Womenn = 2,253
- Menn = 791reference
- Outcome
- Pain responder: pain intensity (0-100-mm VAS) improvement of ≥30% from baseline to post-program
- Follow-up
- Month 3 (post-program)
Methodological detailsregistry data from GLA:D education and exercise program, logistic regression, separately by sex

Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Mean
| Outcome | Women | Men |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline pain score (0-100) · mean baseline | 47.2 (95% CI 46.4–48.1) | 41.7 (95% CI 40.3–43.1) |
Factors associated with pain response in women · post-program
- Attending former participant lectures and more supervised exercise sessions, better mental well-being and fewer comorbidities positively associated with response; symptoms in other joints/sites associated with decreased likelihood of response
Factors associated with pain response in men · post-program
- Program-specific factors not associated with response; better mental well-being and fewer comorbidities associated with being a responder
