Predictive models of radiographic progression and pain progression in patients with knee osteoarthritis: data from the FNIH osteoarthritis (OA) biomarkers consortium project

Arthritis Res TherPublished Prediction model development study

Authors' conclusion

We identified risk factors for imaging progression and pain progression in patients with knee OA over a 2- to 4-year period, and provided effective predictive models, which could help identify patients at high risk of progression.
