Osteoarthritis

The Prognostic Potential of End-Stage Knee Osteoarthritis and Its Components to Predict Knee Replacement: Data From the Osteoarthritis Initiative

J RheumatolPublished Prognostic study

Authors' conclusion

Radiographic severity may be a screening tool to find a knee that will likely receive a KR. However, esKOA may be an ideal outcome in clinical trials because a change in esKOA state predicts future KR.

Study context

Population
Osteoarthritis Initiative participants' knees; mostly female (58%), ≥ 65 years old, White (82%), without radiographic knee OA (50%)
Comparison
Base model of common knee replacement (KR) risk factors plus end-stage knee osteoarthritis (esKOA) or each esKOA component
Outcome
Future KR predicted by esKOA (2 definitions) and each component
Follow-up
KR from baseline until the fifth yearly contact
Methodological detailssecondary analysis of the Osteoarthritis Initiative cohort, knee-based analyses, logistic regression with generalized estimating equations, AUC and Hosmer-Lemeshow test, net reclassification improvement (NRI) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) indices
