[PMID: 38926688 PMCID: PMC11201859 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-024-07501-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To validate the safety and clinical results of single-stage bilateral versus unilateral medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO). METHODS A propensity-matched cohort study was performed from March 2020 to March 2021 in our medical center. Data were prospectively collected. Including 34 patients who underwent single-stage bilateral medial opening HTO(SSBHTO), and 68 cases in the unilateral group. Propensity-matched ration was 2:1 based on age, sex, and body mass index using R software. Comparisons of the length of hospital stay, operative time, blood loss, postoperative adverse events, 90-day readmission rate, conversion to TKA rate, self-reported VAS and WOMAC scores were made to investigate the safety and clinical results of bilateral HTO. RESULTS The mean length of hospital stay was 7.36 ± 2.23 days for SSBHTO and 7 days (IQR, 3 days; range, 4 to 23 days) for the unilateral group (P = 0.219). The mean operative time was 144 ± 47 min for bilateral HTO and 105(37.5) mins for a unilateral OWHTO (P < 0.001). The mean blood loss was 150(100) ml for SSBHTO and 100(50) ml for unilateral OWHTO (P < 0.001). There were no significant difference of the adverse events and 90-day readmission rate between two groups. No failed HTO or conversion to knee arthroplasty were observed at the end of follow-up. VAS, pain, stiffness, and functional scores of the WOMAC scale were essentially comparable of two groups one year after surgery (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS A single-stage bilateral medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy is advisable for patients with knee osteoarthritis. Patients benefit from avoiding secondary anesthesia, postoperative complications, and substantial cost savings. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level III.

Abstract
Background: Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative and inflammatory disease causing pain and worsening patients' quality of life. Various conservative treatment options exist, but a gap between scientific evidence and clinical practice is still present. The aim of this prospective multicenter observational study is to describe the real outpatient territorial management of patients with knee osteoarthritis and to analyze the correlation between the anthropometric and clinical characteristics of the population of patients suffering from symptomatic knee osteoarthritis who were screened in the national survey. Methods: The educational national project was divided into three modules: the first and the last through webinars; and the second held in daily practice. The participants had to register structured observations, which were then stored in a national database and analyzed in order to identify correlations. The subgroups were stratified by body composition, radiological severity of knee osteoarthritis, pain, and functional ability. Results: The project has been joined by 155 physicians, and 2.656 observations about real-world outpatients being treated for knee osteoarthritis in Italy were collected. Data relating to real-world pharmacological and rehabilitation therapies in correlation with body composition, the radiological severity of knee osteoarthritis, pain, and functional ability were reported. Conclusions: Currently, there are no standardized protocols using effective combinations of therapeutic exercises, physical agents, and medications to control the progression of knee osteoarthritis. This real-word national survey proved to be useful for describing the current state of the art of therapeutic management of knee osteoarthritis and for emphasizing the need to fill the gap between scientific evidence and clinical practice.

JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 327:117997. [PMID: 38442805 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2024.117997] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2023] [Revised: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 03/07/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Yataprasen is a topical Thai herbal remedy for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain and is included in Kumpe Thart Phra Narai, the first Thai textbook of traditional medicine. The herbal preparation is made from a hydroethanolic extract of a mixture of 13 medicinal plants, of which Putranjiva roxburghii Wall. leaves are the major ingredient. AIM OF THE STUDY In this study, we investigated the underlying mechanism of action for the anti-inflammatory effects of the Yataprasen remedy, its main ingredients, and the phytochemicals isolated from P. roxburghii leaves. MATERIALS AND METHODS The anti-inflammatory effects of the Yataprasen remedy, along with its main ingredients, including the leaves of Baliospermum solanifolium (Burm.) Suresh, Melia azedarach L., P. roxburghii, Senna siamea (Lam.) Irwin & Barneby, and Tamarindus indica L. were determined by measuring prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) secretion, nitric oxide (NO) production, and the synthesis of inflammatory biomarkers in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated RAW264.7 macrophage cells. The active ingredients of the P. roxburghii leaves were separated by chromatography and spectroscopic measurements were used to identify their chemical structures. RESULTS Ethanol extracts of the Yataprasen remedy and some of its ingredients significantly suppressed LPS-induced PGE2 secretion and NO production in a dose-dependent manner. Treatment of RAW264.7 cells with ethanolic extracts of the Yataprasen remedy (50 μg/mL) significantly inhibited LPS-induced mRNA expression of TNF-α, COX-2, iNOS, and NF-κB. Among the plant ingredient extracts, P. roxburghii leaf extract exhibited the highest inhibitory effects on LPS-induced TNF-α and iNOS expression. Moreover, T. indica leaf extract showed the highest activity on the inhibition of LPS-induced COX-2 and NF-κB expression. Putraflavone, podocarpusflavone A, and amentoflavone were isolated biflavonoids from P. roxburghii leaf extract and showed the inhibitory effects on LPS-induced PGE2 secretion and NO synthesis in RAW264.7 cells. Of the isolated biflavonoids, amentoflavone exhibited the strongest anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the expression of TNF-α, COX-2, and iNOS. CONCLUSION The results support reported the anti-inflammatory effects of the Yataprasen remedy, which are associated with the downregulation of proinflammatory mediators. P. roxburghii, along with its biflavonoids, are the impact components that contribute to the anti-inflammatory effects of the herbal remedy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Early-onset osteoarthritis (OA) is an emerging health issue amidst the escalating prevalence of overweight and obesity. However, there are scant data on its disease, economic burden and attributable burden due to high body mass index (BMI). METHODS Using data from the Global Burden of Diseases Study 2019, we examined the numbers of incident cases, prevalent cases, years lived with disability (YLDs) and corresponding age-standardised rates for early-onset OA (diagnosis before age 55) from 1990 to 2019. The case definition was symptomatic and radiographically confirmed OA in any joint. The average annual percentage changes (AAPCs) of the age-standardised rates were calculated to quantify changes. We estimated the economic burden of early-onset OA and attributable burden to high BMI. RESULTS From 1990 to 2019, the global incident cases, prevalent cases and YLDs of early-onset OA were doubled. 52.31% of incident OA cases in 2019 were under 55 years. The age-standardised rates of incidence, prevalence and YLDs increased globally and for countries in all Sociodemographic Index (SDI) quintiles (all AAPCs>0, p<0.05), with the fastest increases in low-middle SDI countries. 98.04% of countries exhibited increasing trends in all age-standardised rates. Early-onset OA accounts for US$46.17 billion in healthcare expenditure and US$60.70 billion in productivity loss cost in 2019. The attributable proportion of high BMI for early-onset OA increased globally from 9.41% (1990) to 15.29% (2019). CONCLUSIONS Early-onset OA is a developing global health problem, causing substantial economic costs in most countries. Targeted implementation of cost-effective policies and preventive intervention is required to address the growing health challenge.

Evaluating Knee Recovery Beyond Patient Reports: A Comparative Study of Smart Implantable Device-Derived Gait Metrics Versus Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in Total Knee Arthroplasty. J Arthroplasty 2024:S0883-5403(24)00578-3. [PMID: 38852690 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.05.091] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2024] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is frequently performed for advanced osteoarthritis, with patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) traditionally reporting on efficacy. These subjective evaluations, although useful, may inaccurately reflect post-TKA activity levels. With technological advancements, smart implantable devices (SIDs) offer objective, real-time gait metrics, potentially providing a more accurate postoperative recovery assessment. This study compares these objective metrics with PROMs to evaluate TKA success more effectively. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study with 88 participants undergoing TKA using a SID. Eligible patients were aged 18 years or older and had advanced osteoarthritis. We excluded those who had bilateral TKAs, joint infections, or neuromuscular disease. The SID system collected daily gait metrics, including step count, distance traveled, walking speed, stride length, cadence, and functional knee range of motion. The PROMs, including Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score-Joint Replacement, Veterans Rand 12 Physical Component Summary, and Veterans Rand 12 Mental Component Summary, were analyzed against SID gait metrics. Among the 88 patients, 80 provided continuous data over 12 weeks. RESULTS All gait metrics, except stride length, significantly increased at the 12-week point (P < .05). The PROMs also significantly improved postoperatively (P < .05). Initial low positive correlations between 12-week PROMs and SID metrics decreased after adjusting for demographic variables, leaving only weak correlations between the Veterans Rand 12 Physical Component Summary and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score-Joint Replacement with functional knee range of motion (r = 0.389, P = .002; r = 0.311, P = .014, respectively), and Veterans Rand 12 Mental Component Summary with step count (r = 0.406, P = .001) and distance traveled (r = 0.376, P = .003). CONCLUSIONS This study indicates that both PROMs and SID gait metrics show significant improvements post-TKA, though they correlate weakly with each other, suggesting a possible discrepancy between perceived recovery and actual functional improvement. The SID gait metrics might provide a valuable addition to traditional PROMs by offering an objective representation of physical capabilities unaffected by patient compliance or subjective perceptions of recovery. Further research is needed to validate these findings in larger populations and to explore whether integrating SID metrics can enhance long-term functional outcomes.

Abstract
Objective Developing new therapies for knee osteoarthritis (KOA) requires improved prediction of disease progression. This study evaluated the prognostic value of clinical clusters and machine-learning derived quantitative 3D bone shape B-score for predicting total and partial knee replacement (KR). Design This retrospective study used longitudinal data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative. A previous study used patients' clinical profiles to delineate phenotypic clusters. For these clusters, the distribution of B-scores was assessed (employing Tukey's method). The value of both cluster allocation and B-score for KR-prediction was then evaluated using multivariable Cox regression models and Kaplan-Meier curves for time-to-event analyses. The impact of using B-score vs. cluster was evaluated using a likelihood ratio test for the multivariable Cox model; global performances were assessed by concordance statistics (Harrell's C-index) and time dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results B-score differed significantly for the individual clinical clusters (p < 0.001). Overall, 9.4% of participants had a KR over 9 years, with a shorter time to event in clusters with high B-score at baseline. Those clusters were characterized clinically by a high rate of comorbidities and potential signs of inflammation. Both phenotype and B-score independently predicted KR, with better prediction if combined (P < 0.001). B-score added predictive value in groups with less pain and radiographic severity but limited physical activity. Conclusions B-scores correlated with phenotypes based on clinical patient profiles. B-score and phenotype independently predicted KR surgery, with higher predictive value if combined. This can be used for patient stratification in drug development and potentially risk prediction in clinical practice.

Adherence to the Dutch recommendation for physical activity: prior to and after primary total hip and knee arthroplasty. Disabil Rehabil 2024; 46:2862-2870. [PMID: 37496462 DOI: 10.1080/09638288.2023.2237409] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2023] [Revised: 07/03/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/28/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the course of adherence to physical activity (PA) recommendation in hip/knee osteoarthritis patients before and after hip/knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA). Moreover, we explored predictors for non-adherence 12 months postoperatively. MATERIALS AND METHODS Primary THA/TKA were included in a multicenter observational study. Preoperatively and 6/12 months postoperatively, patients reported engagement in moderate-intensity PA in days/week in the past 6 months (PA-recommendation (≥30 min of moderate-intensity ≥5 days/week)). We included predictors stratified by preoperative adherence: sex, age, BMI, comorbidities, smoking, living/working status, season, mental health, HOOS/KOOS subscales before and 6 months postoperatively, and 6-month adherence. RESULTS (1005 THA/972 TKA) Preoperatively, 50% of the population adhered. Adherence increased to 59% at 6 and 12 months. After 12 months, most patients remained at their preoperative PA level, 11% of the preoperative adherers decreased, while 20% of the preoperative non-adherers increased their PA level. In all different groups, adherence to the PA recommendation at 6 months was identified as a predictor (OR-range: 0.16-0.29). In addition, BMI was identified as predictor in the THA adherent (OR = 1.07; 95%CI [1.02-1.15]) and TKA non-adherent groups (OR = 1.08; 95%CI [1.03-1.12]). THA non-adherent group not having paid work (OR = 0.53; 95%CI [0.33-0.85]), and in the TKA adherent group, lower KOOS subscale symptoms (OR = 1.03; 95%CI [1.01-1.05]) were associated with non-adherence. CONCLUSIONS Majority of patients remained at their preoperative PA level. Non-adherence at 6 months was highly predictive for 12-month non-adherence.Implications for rehabilitationPhysical activity (PA) is crucial to decrease mortality risk, especially among patients suffering from osteoarthritis, as these patients have the potential to become more physically active after arthroplasty surgery.We found that physical function and pain improved, but 69% of the patients remained at their preoperative PA level, while 11% decreased and 20% increased their PA levels.Using this information shortly after surgery, orthopedic surgeons and other health care professionals can address patients at risk for decreased PA levels and provide PA advice.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common musculoskeletal disease, without any curative treatment. Obesity being the main modifiable risk factor for OA, much attention focused on the role of adipose tissues (AT). In addition to the involvement of visceral and subcutaneous AT via systemic ways, many arguments also highlight the involvement of local AT, present in joint tissues. Local AT include intra-articular AT (IAAT), which border the synovium, and bone marrow AT (BMAT) localized within marrow cavities in the bones. This review describes the known features and involvement of IAAT and BMAT in joint homeostasis and OA. Recent findings evidence that alteration in magnetic resonance imaging signal intensity of infrapatellar fat pad can be predictive of the development and progression of knee OA. IAAT and synovium are partners of the same functional unit; IAAT playing an early and pivotal role in synovial inflammation and fibrosis and OA pain. BMAT, whose functions have only recently begun to be studied, is in close functional interaction with its microenvironment. The volume and molecular profile of BMAT change according to the pathophysiological context, enabling fine regulation of haematopoiesis and bone metabolism. Although its role in OA has not yet been studied, the localization of BMAT, its functions and the importance of the bone remodelling processes that occur in OA argue in favour of a role for BMAT in OA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the association between the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) and all-cause mortality in patients with osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, data on OA patients were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003-2018. OA diagnosis was self-reported. The study population was divided into low and high DII groups based on the DII's median. All-cause mortality was the outcome, which was determined via linkage to the National Death Index (NDI) until 31 December 2019. Multivariable Cox regression analyses were employed to investigate the association between the DII and all-cause mortality. The survival of the low and high DII groups was exhibited by Kaplan-Meier curves. Furthermore, subgroup analyses were carried out in terms of age and comorbidity. RESULTS A total of 3804 patients with OA were included, with 1902 (50%) in the low DII group and 1902 (50%) in the high DII group. Patients with a high DII had a significantly greater risk of all-cause mortality than those with a low DII (HR = 1.21, 95%CI: 1.02-1.44, P = 0.025). A high DII was associated with a significantly increased risk of all-cause mortality compared with a low DII in patients aged ≥ 65 years [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.28, 95% confidence level (CI): 1.07-1.53, P = 0.006). Hypertensive patients with a high DII had a significantly greater risk of all-cause mortality than those with a low DII (HR = 1.25, 95%CI: 1.03-1.52, P = 0.025). For patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD), a high DII was associated with a significantly higher risk of all-cause mortality than a low DII (HR = 1.43, 95%CI: 1.17-1.75, P < 0.001). A high DII was associated with a significantly greater risk of all-cause mortality, as compared with a low DII in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) (HR = 1.22, 95%CI: 1.02-1.45, P = 0.026). CONCLUSION The DII was positively associated with the risk of all-cause mortality in patients with OA. This association differed by age, hypertension, CVD, and CKD. Adherence to diet with a low DII may be beneficial in prognosis improvement.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is the most prevalent age-related degenerative joint disease and a leading cause of pain and disability in aged people. Its etiology is multifaceted, involving factors such as biomechanics, pro-inflammatory mediators, genetics, and metabolism. Beyond its evident impact on joint functionality and the erosion of patients' quality of life, OA exhibits symbiotic relationships with various systemic diseases, giving rise to various complications. This review reveals OA's extensive impact, encompassing osteoporosis, sarcopenia, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, neurological disorders, mental health, and even cancer. Shared inflammatory processes, genetic factors, and lifestyle elements link OA to these systemic conditions. Consequently, recognizing these connections and addressing them offers opportunities to enhance patient care and reduce the burden of associated diseases, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to managing OA and its complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The current guidelines recommend weight loss for patients with overweight or obesity and knee or hip osteoarthritis (OA); however, there is a paucity of data on the relation of weight loss to death among patients with OA. We aimed to examine the relation of the rate of weight loss induced by antiobesity medications over one year to all-cause mortality among patients with overweight or obesity and knee or hip OA. METHODS Using the IQVIA Medical Research Database, we identified people with overweight or obesity and knee or hip OA. We emulated analyses of a hypothetical target trial to assess the effect of slow-to-moderate (2%-10%) or fast (≥10%) weight loss induced by the initiation of antiobesity medications within one year on all-cause mortality and secondary outcomes over five years' follow-up. RESULTS Among 6,524 participants, the five-year all-cause mortality rates were 5.3%, 4.0%, and 5.4% for weight gain or stable, slow-to-moderate weight loss, and fast weight loss arms, respectively. Compared with the weight gain or stable arm, hazard ratios of all-cause mortality were 0.72 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.56-0.92) for the slow-to-moderate weight loss arm and 0.99 (95% CI 0.67-1.44) for the fast weight loss arm. We found dose-response protective effects of weight loss on incident hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and venous thromboembolism but a slightly higher risk of cardiovascular disease, albeit not statistically significant, in the fast rate of weight loss arm than in the weight gain or stable arm and no significant relations of weight loss to the risk of cancer. CONCLUSION In this population-based study, a slow-to-moderate, but not fast, rate of weight loss induced by antiobesity medications is associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality in people with overweight or obesity and knee or hip OA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association of stair climbing difficulty and stair climbing frequency with the risk of all-cause mortality over 13 years in adults with or at high risk for knee OA. METHODS We used data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI), a prospective cohort study of community-dwelling adults with or at high risk for symptomatic knee OA. The exposures were stair climbing difficulty and frequency, assessed at baseline using self-report questionnaires. The outcome was all-cause mortality, assessed from baseline through 13 years of follow-up. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox proportional hazards regression were used to investigate the association between stair climbing exposures and all-cause mortality. RESULTS Three hundred seven (6.81%) and 310 (6.84%) participants in the difficulty and frequency samples, respectively, died during 13 years of follow-up. Those who were limited in any capacity in terms of their stair climbing ability had 54% to 84% greater hazard of all-cause mortality, and those who climbed at least 7 flights of stairs per week had 38% lower hazard of all-cause mortality. CONCLUSION Adults with or at high risk for knee OA who report difficulty with climbing stairs or who infrequently use stairs are at greater hazard of all-cause mortality. Stair climbing difficulty and frequency are simple to collect and changes may occur early in OA progression, allowing for early intervention. Brief questions about stair climbing behaviors can serve as a functional vital sign within the clinician's toolbox.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether osteoarthritis (OA) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD); whether there are differences concerning ischaemic heart disease (IHD), congestive heart failure (CHF) and stroke; and whether there are differences between OA sites (hips, knees and hand) in predicting CVD onset. DESIGN Population-based matched case-control study. SETTING Health insurance claims data among Japanese patients. PARTICIPANTS Japanese patients aged ≥65 years with newly diagnosed CVD and hospitalised between January 2015 and December 2020 (cases) and age-matched and sex-matched 1:1 individuals (controls). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES A conditional logistic regression model was used to estimate the adjusted ORs and their 95% CIs for CVD, IHD, CHF and stroke risk, adjusting for covariates. RESULTS A total of 79 296 patients were included, with respect to CVD (39 648 patients with newly diagnosed CVD and 39 648 controls). After adjustment for covariates, the exposure odds of knee OA (KOA), hip OA (HipOA) and hand OA (HandOA) for CVD were 1.192 (95% CI 1.115 to 1.274), 1.057 (95% CI 0.919 to 1.215) and 1.035 (95% CI 0.684 to 1.566), respectively, showing an association only for KOA. The exposure odds of KOA, HipOA and HandOA for IHD were 1.187 (95% CI 1.086 to 1.297), 1.078 (95% CI 0.891 to 1.306) and 1.099 (95% CI 0.677 to 1.784), respectively. The exposure odds of KOA, HipOA and HandOA for stroke were 1.221 (95% CI 1.099 to 1.356), 0.918 (95% CI 0.723 to 1.165) and 1.169 (95% CI 0.635 to 2.151), respectively. Similar to CVD, only KOA was associated with both. For CHF, neither KOA nor HipOA and HandOA were associated with CHF development. CONCLUSION This study confirms the association of KOA with CVD, particularly IHD and stroke, in the Japanese population. The finding that patients with KOA have a higher CVD risk can potentially assist in guiding future treatment strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to analyze the life expectancy and cause of death in osteoarthritis (OA) patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and to identify risk factors that affect long-term mortality rate after TKA. METHODS Among 601 patients, who underwent primary TKA due to OA by a single surgeon from July 2005 to December 2011, we identified patients who died after the operation using data obtained from the National Statistical Office of Korea. We calculated 5-, 10-, and 15-year survival rates of the patients and age-specific standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) compared to general population of South Korea according to the causes of death. We also identified risk factors for death. RESULTS The 5-year, 10-year, and 15-year survival rates were 94%, 84%, and 75%, respectively. The overall age-specific SMR of the TKA cohort was lower than that of the general population (0.69; P < 0.001). Cause-specific SMRs for circulatory diseases, neoplasms, and digestive diseases after TKA were significantly lower than those of the general population (0.65, 0.58, and 0.16, respectively; all P < 0.05). Male gender, older age, lower body mass index (BMI), anemia, and higher Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) were significant factors associated with higher mortality after TKA. CONCLUSION TKA is a worthwhile surgery that can improve life expectancy, especially from diseases of the circulatory system, neoplasms, and digestive system, in patients with OA compared to the general population. However, careful follow-up is needed for patients with male gender, older age, lower BMI, anemia, and higher CCI, as these factors may increase long-term mortality risk after TKA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Posttraumatic osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disorder associated with a high socioeconomic burden, particularly in young, physically active, and working patients. Tranexamic acid (TXA) is commonly used in orthopaedic trauma surgery as an antifibrinolytic agent to control excessive bleeding. Previous studies have reported that TXA modulates inflammation and bone cell function, both of which are dysregulated during posttraumatic OA disease progression. PURPOSE To evaluate the therapeutic effects of systemic and topical TXA treatment on the progression of posttraumatic OA in the knee of mice. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS OA was induced via anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) transection on the right knee of female mice. Mice were treated with TXA or vehicle intraperitoneally daily or intra-articularly weekly for 4 weeks, starting on the day of surgery. Articular cartilage degeneration, synovitis, bone erosion, and osteophyte formation were scored histologically. Micro-computed tomography evaluation was conducted to measure the subchondral bone microstructure and osteophyte volume. Cartilage thickness and bone remodeling were assessed histomorphometrically. RESULTS Both systemic and topical TXA treatment significantly reduced cartilage degeneration, synovitis, and bone erosion scores and increased the ratio of hyaline to calcified cartilage thickness in posttraumatic OA. Systemic TXA reversed ACL transection-induced subchondral bone loss and osteophyte formation, whereas topical treatment had no effect. Systemic TXA decreased the number and surface area of osteoclasts, whereas those of osteoblasts were not affected. No effect of topical TXA on osteoblast or osteoclast parameters was observed. CONCLUSION Both systemic and topical TXA exerted protective effects on the progression of posttraumatic OA. Drug repurposing of TXA may, therefore, be useful for the prevention or treatment of posttraumatic OA, particularly after ACL surgery. CLINICAL RELEVANCE TXA might be beneficial in patients with posttraumatic OA of the knee.

Abstract
Objectives Pain as central symptom of osteoarthritis (OA) needs to be addressed as part of successful treatment. The assessment of pain as feature of disease or outcome in clinical practice and drug development remains a challenge due to its multidimensionality and the plethora of confounders. This article aims at providing insights into our understanding of OA pain-phenotypes and suggests a framework for systematic and comprehensive assessments. Methods This narrative review is based on a search of current literature for various combinations of the search terms "pain-phenotype" and "knee OA" and summarizes current knowledge on OA pain-phenotypes, putting OA pain and its assessment into perspective of current research efforts. Results Pain is a complex phenomenon, not necessarily associated with tissue damage. Various pain-phenotypes have been described in knee OA. Among those, a phenotype with high pain levels not necessarily matching structural changes and a phenotype with low pain levels and impact are relatively consistent. Further subgroups can be differentiated based on patient reported outcome measures, assessments of comorbidities, anxiety and depression, sleep, activity and objective measures such as quantitative sensory testing. Conclusions The complexity of both OA as disease and pain in OA prompt the definition of a set of variables that facilitate assessments comparable across studies to maximize our understanding of pain, as central concern for the patient.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The data are limited for the association between osteoarthritis (OA) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in community-based older populations and whether there is sex difference. This study aimed to examine the relationship between OA and prevalence and incidence of CVD over 10 years in community-dwelling older adults. METHODS Data on self-reported OA, high cholesterol, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes were collected from 1,025 community-dwelling participants aged 70-90 years in the Sydney Memory and Ageing Study. The presence of CVD at baseline was defined as self-reported presence of stroke, heart attack, transient ischaemic attack, angina, aortic aneurysm, or claudication. The incidence of CVD was defined by a combination of incident self-reported CVD or CVD mortality at different follow-up timepoints over 10 years. RESULTS At baseline, 395 (38.5%) participants self-reported OA (252 [44.6%] women, 143 [31.1%] men). Self-reported OA was associated with increased prevalence of CVD in women (OR 1.67, 95% CI 1.12-2.47) but not men (1.26, 0.80-1.98). In the total population, self-reported OA at baseline was associated with increased incidence of CVD at 4 years (OR 1.77, 95% CI 1.10-2.83), 6 years (1.59, 1.03-2.46), 8 years (1.56, 1.02-2.38), and 10 years (1.66, 1.10-2.50), but not at 2 years (1.43, 0.79-2.57). Significant associations were observed in female participants at 4, 8, and 10 years, with no significant associations seen in male participants. CONCLUSION OA was associated with increased prevalence at baseline and incidence of CVD over 10 years in community-based older adults, especially women. Identifying those with OA to target their cardiovascular risk factors while managing their OA has the potential to reduce the burden of CVD in older people, particularly women.

Community ambulation in older adults and people with OA - a model verification using Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA) data. BMC Geriatr 2024; 24:31. [PMID: 38184554 PMCID: PMC10771682 DOI: 10.1186/s12877-023-04598-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 01/08/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND There are health and well-being benefits of community ambulation; however, many older adults do not regularly walk outside of their home. Objectives were to estimate the associations between latent constructs related to community ambulation in older adults aged 65-85 (65+), and in adults with osteoarthritis (OA) aged 45-85. METHODS Secondary data analysis of the comprehensive baseline and maintaining contact questionnaire data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study of Aging (CLSA) was completed. Based on a previous model of community ambulation post-stroke, structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to develop measurement and structural models for two groups: older adults 65+ and people with OA. Multi-group SEM was conducted to test measurement invariance across sex and age groups. Measurement models were developed for the following latent factors: ambulation (frequency of walking outside/week, hours walked/day, ability to walk without help, frequency and aids used in different settings); health perceptions (general health, pain frequency/intensity); timed functional mobility (gait speed, timed up-and-go, sit-to-stand, balance). Variables of depression, falls, age, sex, and fear of walking alone at night were covariates in the structural models. RESULTS Data were used from 11,619 individuals in the 65+ group (mean age 73 years ±6, 49% female) and 5546 individuals in the OA group (mean age 67 ± 10, 60% female). The final 65+ model had a close fit with RMSEA (90% CI) = 0.018 (0.017, 0.019), CFI = 0.91, SRMR = 0.09. For the OA group, RMSEA (90% CI) = 0.021 (0.020, 0.023), CFI = 0.92, SRMR = 0.07. Health perceptions and timed functional mobility had a positive association with ambulation. Depression was associated with ambulation through negative associations with health perceptions and timed functional mobility. Multi-group SEM results reveal the measurement model was retained for males and females in the 65+ group, for males and females and for age groups (65+, < 65) in the OA group. CONCLUSIONS The community ambulation model post-stroke was verified with adults aged 65+ and for those with OA. The models of community ambulation can be used to frame and conceptualize community ambulation research and clinical interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mortality after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a rare but devastating complication. This meta-analysis aimed to: (1) determine the mortality rates at 30 days, 90 days, 1 year, 5 years and 10 years after THA; (2) identify risk factors and causes of mortality after THA. METHODS Pubmed, MEDLINE, Cochrane, EBSCO Host, and Google Scholar databases were queried for studies reporting mortality rates after primary elective, unilateral THA. Inverse-proportion models were constructed to quantify the incidence of all-cause mortality at 30 days, 90 days, 1 year, 5 years and 10 years after THA. Random-effects multiple regression was performed to investigate the potential effect modifiers of age (at time of THA), body mass index, and gender. RESULTS A total of 53 studies (3,297,363 patients) were included. The overall mortality rate was 3.9%. The 30-day mortality was 0.49% (95% CI; 0.23-0.84). Mortality at 90 days was 0.47% (95% CI, 0.38-0.57). Mortality increased exponentially between 90 days and 5 years, with a 1-year mortality rate of 1.90% (95% CI, 1.22-2.73) and a 5-year mortality rate of 9.85% (95% CI, 5.53-15.22). At 10-year follow-up, the mortality rate was 16.43% (95% CI, 1.17-22.48). Increasing comorbidity indices, socioeconomic disadvantage, age, anaemia, and smoking were found to be risk factors for mortality. The most commonly reported causes of death were ischaemic heart disease, malignancy, and pulmonary disease. CONCLUSIONS All-cause mortality remains low after contemporary THA. However, 1 out of 10 patients and 1 out of 6 patients were deceased after 5 years and 10 years of THA, respectively. As expected, age, but not BMI or gender, was significantly associated with mortality.

Arterial Stiffness, Assessed Using the Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index, before and 2 Years after Total Knee Arthroplasty in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis. J Clin Med 2023; 12:7734. [PMID: 38137803 PMCID: PMC10743671 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12247734] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Revised: 12/10/2023] [Accepted: 12/15/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major risk factor for mortality in patients with osteoarthritis, and such comorbidities increase the risk of postoperative complications following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Arteriosclerosis plays a major role in hemodynamic dysfunction and CVD; however, the postoperative changes in arteriosclerosis following TKA have not been evaluated. Therefore, we assessed the postoperative changes in arteriosclerosis using the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) in patients undergoing TKA, and its relationships with preoperative patient characteristics. Methods: Arteriosclerosis was prospectively evaluated in 119 consecutive patients (140 knees) (15 males (17), 104 females (123); median age 73 years) with knee osteoarthritis who underwent TKA. CAVI was measured before and 2 years after TKA, and the relationships between CAVI and preoperative age, sex, BMI, physical activity status, comorbidities, clinical score, triglyceride concentration, cholesterol concentration, and smoking history were analyzed. Results: CAVI remained stable or improved in 54 joints (39%) and worsened in 86 joints (61%) 2 years post-operation. The median difference between pre- and postoperative CAVI was 0.2 (-0.3, 0.8), and the only preoperative factor associated with this change was preoperative CAVI (r = -0.469, p < 0.001). No other preoperative factor had a significant effect on postoperative arteriosclerosis. Conclusions: The results suggest that patients who undergo TKA subsequently show less severe arteriosclerosis, and the protective effect of TKA on arterial stiffness is greater in those with a higher preoperative CAVI. TKA may be an effective means of reducing the deterioration of arteriosclerosis associated with knee osteoarthritis, at least in the relatively short term.

Short-term variations in trabecular bone texture parameters associated to radio-clinical biomarkers improve the prediction of radiographic knee osteoarthritis progression. Sci Rep 2023; 13:21952. [PMID: 38081898 PMCID: PMC10713565 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-48016-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
The present study aims to examine whether the short-term variations in trabecular bone texture (TBT) parameters, combined with a targeted set of clinical and radiographic data, would improve the prediction of long-term radiographic knee osteoarthritis (KOA) progression. Longitudinal (baseline, 24 and 48-month) data, obtained from the Osteoarthritis Initiative cohort, were available for 1352 individuals, with preexisting OA (1 < Kellgren-Lawrence < 4) at baseline. KOA progression was defined as an increase in the medial joint space narrowing score from the 24-months to the 48-months control point. 16 regions of interest were automatically selected from each radiographic knee and analyzed using fractal dimension. Variations from baseline to 24 months in TBT descriptors as well as selected radiographic and clinical readings were calculated. Different logistic regression models were developed to evaluate the progression prediction performance when associating TBT variations with the selected clinical and radiographic readings. The most predictive model was mainly determined using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). The proposed prediction model including short-term variations in TBT parameters, associated with clinical covariates and radiographic scores, improved the capacity of predicting long-term radiographic KOA progression (AUC of 0.739), compared to models based solely on baseline values (AUC of 0.676, p-value < 0.008).

Abstract
Background It remains unclear how antioxidant intake affects all-cause mortality in osteoarthritis (OA) patients. In this prospective cohort study, we aim to explore the association of the Composite Dietary Antioxidant Index (CDAI) with all-cause mortality and investigate the interaction of physical activity (PA) and CDAI on all-cause mortality in OA populations. Methods A total of 3,197 adults with OA in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2001 to 2018 were included in this study. Death outcomes were obtained from National Death Index (NDI) records. Multivariable Cox regression analyses with cubic spines were applied to estimate the association of CDAI with all-cause mortality. The interaction between CDAI and PA on all-cause mortality was further assessed in stratified analysis and interaction tests. Results The hazard ratios for all-cause mortality were 0.95 (0.77-1.17) for Q2, 0.75 (0.59-0.97) for Q3, and 0.71 (0.55-0.92) for Q4 (P for trend <0.001), compared with the lowest quartile of CDAI. A negative linear association was found between CDAI and all-cause mortality. In the stratified analyses, CDAI was negatively associated with all-cause mortality in the insufficient PA group. While in the low and sufficient PA group, there were nonlinear relationships of CDAI with all-cause mortality. Conclusion A negative linear relationship was observed between CDAI and all-cause mortality in OA patients, and this association was significantly modified by PA. Higher intake of dietary antioxidants might be the interventional objective to reduce the risk of all-cause mortality in the US OA population.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a widespread joint condition affecting millions globally, presenting a growing socioeconomic burden thus making the development of more effective therapeutic strategies crucial. This review emphasizes recent advancements in lipid-based drug delivery systems (DDSs) for intra-articular administration of OA therapeutics, encompassing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, small molecule disease-modifying OA drugs, and RNA therapeutics. Liposomes, lipid nanoparticles, lipidic mesophases, extracellular vesicles and composite systems exhibit enhanced stability, targeted delivery, and extended joint retention, which contribute to improved therapeutic outcomes and minimized systemic drug exposure. Although active targeting strategies hold promise, further research is needed to assess their targeting efficiency in physiologically relevant conditions. Simultaneously, multifunctional DDSs capable of delivering combinations of distinct therapeutic classes offer synergistic effects and superior OA treatment outcomes. The development of such long-acting systems that resist rapid clearance from the joint space is crucial, where particle size and targeting capabilities emerge as vital factors. Additionally, combining cartilage lubrication properties with sustained drug delivery has demonstrated potential in animal models, meriting further investigation in human clinical trials. This review highlights the crucial need for direct, head-to-head comparisons of novel DDSs with standard treatments, particularly within the same drug class. These comparisons are essential in accurately evaluating their effectiveness, safety, and clinical applicability, and are set to significantly shape the future of OA therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine if a consumer co-designed infographic increased knowledge of physical activity and self-efficacy for exercise after total knee joint replacement surgery. METHODS Forty-four adults with primary knee joint replacement surgery were recruited from a public and a private hospital in Melbourne, Australia. Participants were randomly allocated to an experimental or control group. The experimental group received a consumer co-designed infographic. All participants received usual care. Primary outcome measures were knowledge of physical activity and self-efficacy for exercise. Outcomes were administered at baseline, week 1 and week 6. Semi-structured interviews with experimental group participants explored the acceptability, implementation and efficacy of the infographic. RESULTS There were no between-group differences for knowledge of physical activity at week 1 (MD -0.02 units, 95% CI -0.9 to 0.9) or week 6 (MD 0.01 units, 95% CI -0.9 to 0.9). Self-efficacy for exercise increased at week 1 (MD 14.2 units, 95% CI 2.9-25.4) but was not sustained. Qualitative data showed that the infographic was embraced by some participants but not by others. CONCLUSIONS A consumer co-designed infographic did not improve knowledge of physical activity but may have had a short-term positive effect on self-efficacy for exercise after knee joint replacement.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate whether participants with knee osteoarthritis classified as 'more' or 'less' physically active at baseline differ in characteristics and/or outcomes at baseline and at 3 and 12 months following the commencement of an education and exercise-therapy program. METHODS Prospective cohort study using the GLA:D® Australia registry. The University of California, Los Angeles Physical Activity Scale (UCLA) participant data dichotomised as 'more' (≥7) or 'less' active (≤6). Groups were compared using chi-square (obesity [baseline only], comorbidity prevalence, medication consumption, fear of damage from physical activity); and linear mixed model regression (12-item Injury Osteoarthritis Outcome Score [KOOS-12], pain [visual analogue scale], health-related quality of life [QoL] [EQ-5D-5L]) statistics, adjusted for age, sex and baseline physical activity at 3 and 12 months. RESULTS We included 1059 participants (70% female). At baseline, 267 (25%) were classified as 'more' active, increasing to 29% and 30% at 3 and 12 months, respectively. At baseline, compared to the 'less' active group, the 'more' active group had a lower proportion of participants who were obese ('more' = 21% vs. 'less' = 44%), had comorbidities (58% vs. 74%) and consumed medications (71% vs. 85%); lower pain intensity (37 vs. 47); and higher KOOS-12 (59 vs. 50), and health-related QoL (0.738 vs. 0.665) scores. When accounting for age, sex and baseline physical activity, improvements seen in knee-related burden and health-related QoL were not different between groups at 3 or 12 months. Compared to the 'less' active group, the proportion of participants not consuming medication remained higher in the 'more' active group at 3 ('more' 45% vs. 'less' 28%) and 12 months (43% vs. 32%). CONCLUSION 'More' active people with knee osteoarthritis were less likely to be obese, had fewer comorbidities, lower medication consumption, knee-related burden and pain intensity, and higher health-related QoL than 'less' active participants at all timepoints.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of using SUpported Motivational InTerviewing (SUMIT) to increase physical activity in people with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). DESIGN Randomised controlled trial. SETTING We recruited people who had completed Good Life with osteoArthritis Denmark (GLA:D) from private, public and community settings in Victoria, Australia. INTERVENTIONS Participants were randomised participants to receive SUMIT or usual care. SUMIT comprised five motivational interviewing sessions targeting physical activity over 10 weeks, and access to a multimedia web-based platform. PARTICIPANTS Thirty-two participants were recruited (17 SUMIT, 15 control) including 22 females (69%). OUTCOME MEASURES Feasibility outcomes included recruitment rate, adherence to motivational interviewing, ActivPAL wear and drop-out rate. Effect sizes (ESs) were calculated for daily steps, stepping time, time with cadence >100 steps per minute, time in bouts >1 min; 6 min walk distance, Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) subscales (pain, symptoms, function, sport and recreation, and quality of life (QoL)), Euroqual, systolic blood pressure, body mass index, waist circumference, 30 s chair stand test and walking speed during 40 m walk test. RESULTS All feasibility criteria were achieved, with 32/63 eligible participants recruited over seven months; with all participants adhering to all motivational interviewing calls and achieving sufficient ActivPAL wear time, and only two drop-outs (6%).12/15 outcome measures showed at least a small effect (ES>0.2) favouring the SUMIT group, including daily time with cadence >100 steps per minute (ES=0.43). Two outcomes, walking speed (ES= 0.97) and KOOS QoL (ES=0.81), showed a large effect (ES>0.8). CONCLUSION SUMIT is feasible in people with knee osteoarthritis. Potential benefits included more time spent walking at moderate intensity, faster walking speeds and better QoL. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ACTRN12621000267853.

J Arthroplasty 2023; 38:2328-2335.e3. [PMID: 37279845 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2023.05.070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2023] [Revised: 05/20/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous research has focused on the perioperative or short-term (<1 year) mortality rate of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), leaving the long-term (>1 year) mortality rate unresolved. In this study, we calculated the mortality rate up to 15 years after primary TKA. METHODS Data from the New Zealand Joint Registry from April 1998 to December 2021 were analyzed. Patients aged 45 years or older who underwent TKA for osteoarthritis were included. Mortality data were linked with national records from births, deaths, and marriages. To determine the expected mortality rates in the general population, age-sex-specific life tables from statistics New Zealand were used. Mortality rate was presented as standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) - a comparison of relative mortality rate between the TKA and general populations. In total, 98,156 patients with a median follow-up of 7.25 years (range, 0.00 to 23.74) were included. RESULTS Over the entire follow-up period, 22,938 patients (23.4%) had died. The overall SMR for the TKA cohort was 1.08 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.06 to 1.09), suggesting that TKA patients have an 8% higher mortality rate compared to the general population. However, a reduction in short-term mortality rate was observed for TKA patients up to 5 years post TKA (SMR 5 years post TKA; 0.59 95% CI: 0.57 to 0.60]). On the contrary, a significantly increased long-term mortality rate was observed in TKA patients with greater than 11 years of follow-up, particularly in men over the age of 75 years (SMR 11 to 15 years post TKA for males ≥ 75 years; 3.13 [95% CI: 2.95 to 3.31]). CONCLUSION The results suggest a reduction in short-term mortality rate for patients who undergo primary TKA. However, there is an increased long-term mortality rate particularly in men over the age of 75 years. Importantly, the mortality rates observed in this study cannot be causally attributed to TKA alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS The association between symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA) and higher cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality is established; however, findings from studies that utilized regression analysis were limited, attributed to the strong association between OA and metabolic risk factors. This study aimed to evaluate the association between knee OA and mortality through propensity score matching. METHODS This was a cohort study including Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2010-2013) participants aged ≥ 50 years. By linking the survey data to cause of death data (through 2019) from Statistics Korea, mortality and cause-specific mortality data were obtained. Radiographic knee OA (ROA) was defined as bilateral Kellgren-Lawrence grade ≥ 2. Propensity score matching (1:1) was conducted between asymptomatic ROA, knee pain, and symptomatic ROA groups and normal groups, balancing the confounding factors. Time to death was analyzed using Cox proportional hazard modeling. RESULTS A higher CVD mortality was observed in the symptomatic ROA group, but not in others; the risk estimates were asymptomatic ROA (hazard ratio [HR] 1.12; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.77-1.65), knee pain (HR 0.61; 95% CI 0.27-1.38), and symptomatic ROA (HR 1.39; 95% CI 0.89-2.17). No association was found between the all-cause/cancer mortality and other groups. CONCLUSION When propensity score matching controls metabolic risk factor imbalances, the association between symptomatic knee OA and higher CVD mortality was weaker compared to results of prior studies that used regression adjustment. The results may be more precise estimates of the total risk of knee OA for mortality in Koreans.

Abstract
Mortality data following primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) beyond 1-year postoperative time period is sparse. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to: (1) estimate contemporary mortality rates at 30 days, 90 days, 1 year, 5 years, and 10 years following primary TKA; and (2) identify risk factors and causes of mortality following TKA. PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane, EBSCO host, and Google Scholar databases were queried from January 1, 2011 to October 30, 2021 for all studies reporting mortality rates following primary TKA. A meta-analysis of proportions was conducted using a random-effects model to ascertain pooled mortality rates (95% confidence interval [CI]). Meta-regression was utilized to account for confounding effects on mortality rates due to the study's country of origin, median date of study data, average patient age, and patient gender ratios, with a level of significance maintained at p-value <0.05. A total of 44 articles were included in quantitative synthesis. The pooled 30-day mortality rate was 0.14% (95% CI:0.05-0.22%; n = 1,817,647). The pooled 90-day mortality rate was 0.35% (95% CI:0.0.28-0.43%; n = 1,641,974). The pooled 1-year mortality rate was 1.1% (95% CI:0.71-1.49%; n = 1,178,698). The pooled 5-year mortality rate was 5.38% (95% CI:4.35-6.42%; n = 597,041). The pooled 10-year mortality rate was 10.18% (95% CI:7.78-12.64%; n = 815,901). Our 30-day mortality rate was lower than previously reported. The most common causes of death at all time points were due to cardiac disease, cerebrovascular disease, and malignancy. Obesity demonstrated mixed effects on long-term mortality rates. Overall mortality rates of TKA remain low worldwide at all time points and immediate postoperative mortality rates continue to fall. Compared to symptomatic knee osteoarthritic patients reported in the literature, TKA patients qualitatively exhibited lower mortality rates, which may support the value of TKA in improving quality of life without associated excess mortality. Future long-term mortality studies should be conducted to account for geographical variability in mortality rates and further elucidate modifiable risk factors associated with mortality among TKA patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In 2005, the Food and Drug Administration placed a black-box warning (the most stringent warning for drugs) on all nonaspirin nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) stating that these agents may cause heart attacks and/or strokes. No level I evidence demonstrates that nonselective NSAIDs increase cardiovascular risk. An alternative hypothesis is that hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA) indirectly causes cardiovascular disease (CVD) through decreased activity and NSAIDs are correlated with CVD as an arthritis treatment. METHODS Systematic reviews were conducted to find observational studies evaluating the association of hip and/or knee OA, CVD, activity, walking, and step counts. The systematic review found studies correlating hip and/or knee OA and CVD morbidity incidence (n = 2); CVD morbidity prevalence (n = 6); odds ratios, relative risks, or hazard ratios of CVD morbidity (n = 11); relative risk, standardized mortality ratios, or hazard ratios of CVD mortality (n = 14); and all-cause mortality hazard ratios associated with NSAID use (n = 3). RESULTS Hip OA (5 studies), knee OA (9 studies), and hip and knee OA (6 studies) are linked to an increased risk of CVD morbidity and mortality. Cardiac risk increases with validated disability scores, use of walking aids, walking difficulties, longer follow-up times, younger ages of OA onset, numbers of joints involved, and OA severities. No study linked NSAID use to cardiac disease. CONCLUSIONS All studies with more than 10-year follow-up linked cardiac disease with hip and knee OA. No study linked nonselective NSAID use to CVD. The Food and Drug Administration should reconsider the black-box warnings on naproxen, ibuprofen, and celecoxib.

Abstract
PURPOSE Smartphone-based interventions offer a promising approach to address inactivity in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA). We explored perceptions towards smartphone-based interventions to improve physical activity, pain, and depressed mood in inactive people with knee pain. METHODS This qualitative study included six focus groups at Boston University with inactive people with knee pain (n = 35). A smartphone app, developed by our team, using constructs of Social Cognitive Theory, was used to obtain participant feedback. RESULTS Participants discussed wanting to use smartphone-based interventions for personalized exercise advice, for motivation (e.g., customized voice messages, virtual incentives), and to make exercise "less boring" (e.g., music, virtual gaming). Preferred app features included video tutorials on how to use the app, the ability to select information that can be viewed on the home screen, and the ability to interact with clinicians. Features that received mixed responses included daily pain tracking, daily exercise reminders, peer-interaction for accountability, and peer-competition for motivation. All participants discussed privacy and health data security concerns while using the app. CONCLUSIONS Using a co-design approach, we report preferences and concerns related to using smartphone-based physical activity interventions in inactive people with knee pain. This information may help improve acceptability of such interventions in this population.

Abstract
Background Sedentary behavior and physical activity are still ambiguous in their effects on osteoarthritis. We aimed to evaluate the effects of physical activity and sedentary behavior on osteoarthritis to provide a reference for the prevention of osteoarthritis. Methods This study was conducted in Changchun, China in 2022. We used two-sample Mendelian randomization with the SNP as an instrumental variable to investigate the effect of physical activity and sedentary behavior on osteoarthritis. In addition, a two-step Mendelian randomization method was used to test whether mediating factors (BMI, smoking, Apolipoprotein B) were involved in mediating the effects of exposure factors on osteoarthritis. Results TV watching was causally related to knee osteoarthritis and spine osteoarthritis, and they were positively correlated (knee osteoarthritis: OR=1.162,95 %CI: 1.027-1.315, P=0.017; spine osteoarthritis: OR=1.208,95 %CI: 1.033-1.413, P=0.018). BMI played a mediating role in the process of TV watching with knee osteoarthritis and spine osteoarthritis. ((The proportion of BMI mediating effect: knee osteoarthritis: 47.1% (95% CI: 36.7%~63.2%); spine osteoarthritis: 29.5% (95% CI: 19.3%~40.8%)). The proportion of Smoking mediating effect in the process of TV watching with spine osteoarthritis was 16.1% (95% CI: 3.7% ~ 31.6%). Conclusion TV watching is a potential risk factor for osteoarthritis and plays a role through modifiable factors such as BMI and smoking, therefore, interventions on these factors have the potential to reduce the burden of osteoarthritis caused by longer TV watching times.

Double Risk of Failure in Patients up to 65 Years Old. Cartilage 2023; 14:305-311. [PMID: 37073516 PMCID: PMC10601565 DOI: 10.1177/19476035231164733] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Revised: 02/28/2023] [Accepted: 03/04/2023] [Indexed: 04/20/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to document the survival rate in the middle-aged patient group up to 65 years old and to compare it with other age groups of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for knee osteoarthritis (OA). DESIGN The Register of Orthopaedic Prosthetic Implants (RIPO) regional registry was used to analyze the results of patients <80 years old affected by primary OA and treated with TKA from 2000 to 2019. The database was investigated according to the age group: younger than 50 years, 50-65 years, or 66-79 years, with the aim to estimate revision surgeries and implant survivorship. RESULTS A total of 45,488 TKAs for primary OA were included in the analysis (M: 11,388; F: 27,846). The percentage of patients <65 years old increased from 13.5% to 24.8% between 2000 and 2019 (P < 0.0001). The survival analysis showed an overall influence of age on the implant revision rate (P < 0.0001), with an estimated survival rate of 78.7%, 89.4%, and 94.8% at 15 years in the 3 groups, respectively. Compared with the older-aged group, the relative risk of failure was 3.1 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.2-4.3; P < 0.001) higher in patients <50 years old and 1.8 (95% CI = 1.6-2.0; P < 0.001) higher in patients 50-65 years old. CONCLUSIONS TKA use in the middle-aged patient population up to 65 years old increased significantly over time. These patients present a double risk of failure with respect to older patients. This is particularly important considering the increasing life expectancy and the emergence of new joint preserving strategies, which could postpone the need for TKA to an older age.

Abstract
Background Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis in adults, characterised by chronic pain and loss of mobility. Osteoarthritis most frequently occurs after age 40 years and prevalence increases steeply with age. WHO has designated 2021-30 the decade of healthy ageing, which highlights the need to address diseases such as osteoarthritis, which strongly affect functional ability and quality of life. Osteoarthritis can coexist with, and negatively effect, other chronic conditions. Here we estimate the burden of hand, hip, knee, and other sites of osteoarthritis across geographies, age, sex, and time, with forecasts of prevalence to 2050. Methods In this systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study, osteoarthritis prevalence in 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2020 was estimated using data from population-based surveys from 26 countries for knee osteoarthritis, 23 countries for hip osteoarthritis, 42 countries for hand osteoarthritis, and US insurance claims for all of the osteoarthritis sites, including the other types of osteoarthritis category. The reference case definition was symptomatic, radiographically confirmed osteoarthritis. Studies using alternative definitions from the reference case definition (for example self-reported osteoarthritis) were adjusted to reference using regression models. Osteoarthritis severity distribution was obtained from a pooled meta-analysis of sources using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index. Final prevalence estimates were multiplied by disability weights to calculate years lived with disability (YLDs). Prevalence was forecast to 2050 using a mixed-effects model. Findings Globally, 595 million (95% uncertainty interval 535-656) people had osteoarthritis in 2020, equal to 7·6% (95% UI 6·8-8·4) of the global population, and an increase of 132·2% (130·3-134·1) in total cases since 1990. Compared with 2020, cases of osteoarthritis are projected to increase 74·9% (59·4-89·9) for knee, 48·6% (35·9-67·1) for hand, 78·6% (57·7-105·3) for hip, and 95·1% (68·1-135·0) for other types of osteoarthritis by 2050. The global age-standardised rate of YLDs for total osteoarthritis was 255·0 YLDs (119·7-557·2) per 100 000 in 2020, a 9·5% (8·6-10·1) increase from 1990 (233·0 YLDs per 100 000, 109·3-510·8). For adults aged 70 years and older, osteoarthritis was the seventh ranked cause of YLDs. Age-standardised prevalence in 2020 was more than 5·5% in all world regions, ranging from 5677·4 (5029·8-6318·1) per 100 000 in southeast Asia to 8632·7 (7852·0-9469·1) per 100 000 in high-income Asia Pacific. Knee was the most common site for osteoarthritis. High BMI contributed to 20·4% (95% UI -1·7 to 36·6) of osteoarthritis. Potentially modifiable risk factors for osteoarthritis such as recreational injury prevention and occupational hazards have not yet been explored in GBD modelling. Interpretation Age-standardised YLDs attributable to osteoarthritis are continuing to rise and will lead to substantial increases in case numbers because of population growth and ageing, and because there is no effective cure for osteoarthritis. The demand on health systems for care of patients with osteoarthritis, including joint replacements, which are highly effective for late stage osteoarthritis in hips and knees, will rise in all regions, but might be out of reach and lead to further health inequity for individuals and countries unable to afford them. Much more can and should be done to prevent people getting to that late stage.

Abstract
Contagious disease pandemics, such as COVID-19, can cause hospitals around the world to delay nonemergent elective surgeries, which results in a large surgery backlog. To develop an operational solution for providing patients timely surgical care with limited health care resources, this study proposes a stochastic control process-based method that helps hospitals make operational recovery plans to clear their surgery backlog and restore surgical activity safely. The elective surgery backlog recovery process is modeled by a general discrete-time queueing network system, which is formulated by a Markov decision process. A scheduling optimization algorithm based on the piecewise decaying [Formula: see text]-greedy reinforcement learning algorithm is proposed to make dynamic daily surgery scheduling plans considering newly arrived patients, waiting time and clinical urgency. The proposed method is tested through a set of simulated dataset, and implemented on an elective surgery backlog that built up in one large general hospital in China after the outbreak of COVID-19. The results show that, compared with the current policy, the proposed method can effectively and rapidly clear the surgery backlog caused by a pandemic while ensuring that all patients receive timely surgical care. These results encourage the wider adoption of the proposed method to manage surgery scheduling during all phases of a public health crisis.

Discordance Between Self-Reported and Performance-Based Physical Function in Patients Who Have Knee Osteoarthritis: Associations With Pain Intensity and Negative Affect. J Arthroplasty 2023; 38:1705-1713.e1. [PMID: 36940758 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2023.03.044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2023] [Revised: 03/05/2023] [Accepted: 03/13/2023] [Indexed: 03/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although self-reported measures of physical disability are strong indication criterion for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in painful knee osteoarthritis (OA), some patients may report greater-than-observed disability. Contributing factors to this discordance are relatively unexplored. We aimed to examine whether pain and negative affect, including anxiety and depression, were associated with the discordance of self-reported measures with performance-based measures (PPM) of physical function. METHODS We used cross-sectional data (n = 212) from two randomized rehabilitation trials in knee OA. All patients were assessed for knee pain intensity and symptoms of anxiety and depression. Self-reported function was assessed by the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) physical-function subscale. Objective performance-based measures (PPMs) of physical function were assessed by timed gait and stair tests. Continuous discordance scores were quantified by the difference in percentiles between WOMAC and PPMs (WOMAC-PPM), where a positive discordance, WOMAC-PPM >0, implied greater perceived than observed disability. RESULTS Around 1 in 4 patients had >20 percentile units in WOMAC-PPM discordance. In Bayesian regression analyses, knee pain intensity had >99% posterior probability of positive associations with WOMAC-PPM discordance. Among patients awaiting TKA, anxiety intensity had approximately 99% probability of positive associations with discordance, and these associations had >65% probability of exceeding 10 percentile units. In contrast, depression had low (79% to 88%) probability of any association with discordance. CONCLUSION In patients who have knee OA, a sizable proportion reported substantially greater physical disability than actually observed. Pain and anxiety intensity, but not depression, were meaningful predictors of this discordance. If validated, our findings may help in refining patient selection criteria for TKA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative joint disease that affects millions of people worldwide. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as a powerful tool for the evaluation and monitoring of OA due to its ability to visualize soft tissues and bone with high resolution. This review aims to provide an overview of the current state of MRI in OA, with a special focus on the knee, including protocol recommendations for clinical and research settings. Furthermore, new developments in the field of musculoskeletal MRI are highlighted in this review. These include compositional MRI techniques, such as T2 mapping and T1rho imaging, which can provide additional important information about the biochemical composition of cartilage and other joint tissues. In addition, this review discusses semiquantitative joint assessment based on MRI findings, which is a widely used method for evaluating OA severity and progression in the knee. We analyze the most common scoring methods and discuss potential benefits. Techniques to reduce acquisition times and the potential impact of deep learning in MR imaging for OA are also discussed, as these technological advances may impact clinical routine in the future.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is a disease that impacts millions around the world, leading to significant financial and medical burden for patients and the healthcare system. However, no effective biomarkers or disease modifying therapeutics exist for the early identification and management of the disease. Inflammation drives chondrocytes to express extracellular matrix (ECM) degrading enzymes and interruption of this pathway is a viable target to prevent degradation of cartilage. It has been demonstrated that inflammation can alter the intracellular metabolism of chondrocytes, a process known as metabolic reprogramming. This metabolic reprogramming is critical for cartilage breakdown by shifting chondrocytes to an ECM-catabolic state and likely as a potential therapeutic target for osteoarthritis. Metabolic modulators hold the potential to reduce chondrocyte inflammatory responses and protect cartilage. In this narrative review, we explore some of the existing examples of interactions between metabolism and inflammatory pathways in chondrocytes. We summarize the impact of inflammatory stimulation on various metabolic pathways and describe several examples by which targeting of metabolism is able to modulate ECM-degrading activity of chondrocytes to protect against cartilage damage.

Abstract
An estimated 250 million people worldwide suffer from knee osteoarthritis (KOA), with older adults having greater risk. Like other age-related diseases, residents of high-deprivation neighborhoods experience worse KOA pain outcomes compared to their more affluent neighbors. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between neighborhood deprivation and pain severity in KOA and the influence of epigenetic age acceleration (EpAA) on that relationship. The sample of 128 participants was mostly female (60.9%), approximately half non-Hispanic Black (49.2%), and had a mean age of 58 years. Spearman bivariate correlations revealed that pain severity positively correlated with EpAA (ρ = 0.47, p ≤ 0.001) and neighborhood deprivation (ρ = 0.25, p = 0.004). We found a positive significant relationship between neighborhood deprivation and EpAA (ρ = 0.47, p ≤ 0.001). Results indicate a mediating relationship between neighborhood deprivation (predictor), EpAA (mediator), and pain severity (outcome variable). There was a significant indirect effect of neighborhood deprivation on pain severity through EpAA, as the mediator accounted for a moderate portion of the total effect, PM = 0.44. Epigenetic age acceleration may act as a mechanism through which neighborhood deprivation leads to worse KOA pain outcomes and may play a role in the well-documented relationship between the neighborhood of residence and age-related diseases.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major risk factor for mortality in patients with osteoarthritis, and comorbidities increase postoperative complications after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Arteriosclerosis plays a main role in hemodynamic dysfunction and CVD; however, arteriosclerosis has not been preoperatively evaluated before TKA using the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI). In this study, we evaluated the degree of preoperative arteriosclerosis using the CAVI in patients undergoing TKA, as well as its correlations with several preoperative patient factors. METHODS Arteriosclerosis was evaluated in 209 consecutive patients (251 knees) with osteoarthritis who underwent TKA at our institution between May 2011 and June 2022. The CAVI was measured in the supine position 1 day before TKA, and the correlations between the CAVI and several clinical factors were analyzed. RESULTS The CAVI was normal in 62 knees (25%), borderline in 71 knees (28%), and abnormal in 118 knees (47%). Univariate analysis revealed a moderate positive correlation between preoperative CAVI and age (r = 0.451, p < 0.001) and a weak negative correlation between preoperative CAVI and body weight (r = -0.306, p < 0.001) and body mass index (BMI) (r = -0.319, p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that age (β = 0.349, p < 0.001) and BMI (β = -0.235, p < 0.001) were significantly correlated with preoperative CAVI. CONCLUSION Arteriosclerosis should be carefully managed intraoperatively and postoperatively in patients with osteoarthritis undergoing TKA, particularly in older patients and patients with a low BMI.

Abstract
Recent studies have reported the impact of previous COVID-19 infection on the early clinical outcome after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, the timing of infection before the surgery was not constant and a study on patients with COVID-19 infection within 1 week after TKA is lacking. This study aimed to determine the effect of COVID-19 infection within one week after TKA on the postoperative outcomes and to compare the early clinical outcomes to those who were not infected with COVID-19 before and after surgery. No significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of clinical outcomes or complications. The length of the hospital stay (LOS) was significantly longer for the COVID-19 group than for the non-COVID-19 group (p < 0.05). The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were higher for the study group on postoperative days 9 and 12 than for those in the control group (p < 0.05). However, D-dimer levels were not significantly different between the two groups. We should cautiously consider that COVID-19 infection within 1 week after TKA may be associated with increased ESR, CRP levels, and length of hospital stay, but they are not associated with the worsening of early clinical outcomes or the occurrence of complications.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world. However, current treatment modalities mainly relieve pain and inhibit cartilage degradation, but do not promote cartilage regeneration. In this study, we show that G protein-coupled receptor class C group 5 member B (GPRC5B), an orphan G-protein-couple receptor, not only inhibits cartilage degradation, but also increases cartilage regeneration and thereby is protective against OA. We observed that Gprc5b deficient chondrocytes had an upregulation of cartilage catabolic gene expression, along with downregulation of anabolic genes in vitro. Furthermore, mice deficient in Gprc5b displayed a more severe OA phenotype in the destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) induced OA mouse model, with upregulation of cartilage catabolic factors and downregulation of anabolic factors, consistent with our in vitro findings. Overexpression of Gprc5b by lentiviral vectors alleviated the cartilage degeneration in DMM-induced OA mouse model by inhibiting cartilage degradation and promoting regeneration. We also assessed the molecular mechanisms downstream of Gprc5b that may mediate these observed effects and identify the role of protein kinase B (AKT)-mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)-autophagy signaling pathway. Thus, we demonstrate an integral role of GPRC5B in OA pathogenesis, and activation of GPRC5B has the potential in preventing the progression of OA.

[PMID: 37386686 PMCID: PMC10755075 DOI: 10.1002/acr.25186] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2023] [Revised: 05/26/2023] [Accepted: 06/27/2023] [Indexed: 07/01/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Adults with foot symptoms (ie, pain, aching, or stiffness) may be at increased risk of reduced time to all-cause mortality. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether foot symptoms are independently associated with all-cause mortality in older adults. METHODS We analyzed longitudinal data from 2613 participants from the Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project, a longitudinal population-based cohort of adults 45 years of age and older. Participants completed questionnaires at baseline to determine presence of foot symptoms and covariable status. Baseline walking speed was measured via an 8-foot walk test. To examine the association of foot symptoms with time to mortality, hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using Cox regression models, adjusted for potential confounders. RESULTS We observed 813 deaths over 4 to 14.5 years of follow-up. At baseline, 37% of participants had foot symptoms, mean age was 63 years, mean body mass index was approximately 31 kg/m2 , 65% were women, and 33% were Black. Moderate to severe foot symptoms were associated with reduced time to mortality after adjustment for demographics, comorbidities, physical activity, and knee and hip symptoms (HR = 1.30, 95% CI 1.09-1.54). Importantly, this association was not modified by walking speed or diabetes. CONCLUSION Individuals with foot symptoms had an increased hazard of all-cause mortality compared with those with no foot symptoms. These effects were independent of key confounders and were not moderated by walking speed. Effective interventions to identify and manage at least moderate foot symptoms may reduce the risk of decreased time to mortality.

Abstract
CONTEXT Individuals with lower extremity osteoarthritis (OA) have a 25% greater risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) than those without OA. The prevalence of traumatic joint injuries among National Football League (NFL) players exposes these athletes to an elevated risk for OA and potentially a greater risk of cardiovascular risk factors (CRFs) and CVD. OBJECTIVES To examine the associations between a history of lower extremity joint injury, lower extremity OA, and the prevalence of CRFs and CVD among former NFL athletes. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. PATIENTS OR OTHER PARTICIPANTS Former NFL players completed a comprehensive health questionnaire that was used in an ongoing study, the Neurologic Function Across the Lifespan: A Prospective, Longitudinal, and Translational Study for Former NFL Players (NFL-LONG). A subsample of 1738 former players reported lifetime medical diagnoses including CVD or CRFs. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (PRsadj) characterized the associations between CVD or CRFs and injury, OA diagnosis, or both among athletes who reported (1) no history of lower extremity joint injury or surgery and no diagnosed OA, (2) a history of lower extremity joint injury or surgery and no diagnosed OA, and (3) a history of lower extremity joint injury or surgery and diagnosed OA. RESULTS Neither a history of lower extremity joint injury (PRadj = 1.34; 95% CI = 0.86, 2.07) nor a history of lower extremity joint injury and diagnosed OA (PRadj = 1.41; 95% CI = 0.89, 2.25) was significantly associated with CVD. However, CRFs were 30% and 53% more prevalent in former players with lower extremity joint injury and no diagnosed OA (PRadj = 1.30; 95% CI = 1.12, 1.50) and those with lower extremity joint injury and diagnosed OA (PRadj = 1.53; 95% CI = 1.31, 1.78), respectively, versus athletes with no history of either condition. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of CRFs was highest among former NFL athletes with a history of lower extremity joint injury and diagnosed OA. These findings provide insight regarding the potential pathways to chronic diseases that may be initiated by joint injury early in life.

Abstract
Degradation of the articular cartilage is a hallmark of osteoarthritis, a progressive and chronic musculoskeletal condition, affecting millions of people worldwide. The activation of several signalling cascades is altered during disease development: among them, the Wnt signalling plays a pivotal role in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis. Increasing evidence is showing that its activation needs to be maintained within a certain range to avoid the triggering of degenerative mechanisms. In this review, we summarise our current knowledge about how a balanced activation of the Wnt signalling is maintained in the articular cartilage, with a particular focus on receptor-mediated mechanisms.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to compare the functional performance among participants with a neuropathic-like symptoms (NS) and central sensitization related signs and symptoms (CS), and their knee osteoarthritis (OA) counterparts. Methods A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with 125 participants with knee OA (94 females, mean age 63.1 ± 7.4 years). Participants completed a self-reported questionnaire with personal and clinical features and musculoskeletal pain characteristics, including NS (PainDETECT), CS (Central Sensitization Inventory, CSI), and conditioned pain modulation. Self-reported functional disability (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, WOMAC) and functional mobility (Timed Up and Go, TUG) were compared among patients with NS, CS, and their knee OA counterparts using the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results Thirty-three (26.4%) participants had NS and CS, eighteen (14.4%) had NS, twenty-seven (21.6%) participants had CS, and 47 (37.6%) had knee OA with no NS or CS. A one-way ANOVA revealed greater functional limitation in the group with NS and CS (mean = 67.5 ± 12.0) or NS (mean = 56.7 ± 17.5) than the group without these symptoms (mean = 32.0 ± 20.7) with a statistical significance difference [F(3, 121) = 29.434, p < 0.001] in the WOMAC Total score. The group with NS and CS (mean = 19.2 ± 7.4) or NS (mean = 16.3 ± 6.3) had slower velocity than the group without these symptoms (mean = 11.6 ± 3.5) with a statistical significance difference [F(3,121) = 10.045, p < 0.001] in the TUG test. Conclusion Participants with knee osteoarthritis and NS or CS pain phenotype have greater functional limitations than their counterparts.

Abstract
Objectives Physical activity (PA) in people with knee pain can help to relieve pain and prevent health problems. However, engaging in regular PA is challenging for them due to chronic musculoskeletal pain. An understanding of how the experience of knee pain affects PA is important to minimize the negative effects of knee pain on participation in PA among this population. We examined the quantitative evidence describing the relationship between the experience of knee pain and participation in PA. Methods We conducted a scoping review based on the PRISMA-ScR process across 27 items and Peters' methodological framework. Searches using keywords were performed in Medline, PsycINFO, CINAHL and Scopus. Results Nine studies were included in this review. While one study clearly showed that increased knee pain increased PA, four studies indicated that knee pain decreased PA among individuals with knee pain. One study revealed that increased knee pain decreased moderate PA, but no significant difference with light intensity PA. Three studies showed that knee pain had no impact on PA. Moreover, psychological factors (catastrophizing and pain-related activity interference) and certain activities of daily living were risk factors for insufficient PA among people with knee pain. Conclusions The limited quantitative evidence on the relationship between the experience of knee pain and PA participation highlights a gap in the knowledge base. The review findings found mixed results, with a negative, positive or no relationship between knee pain and levels of PA among individuals with knee pain. The findings also suggest that the relationship can be affected by psychological factors and different levels and types of PA. Therefore, practitioners should consider multi-component interventions which aim to increase PA levels of individuals with knee pain, after considering the above mediating factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Observational studies have suggested that osteoarthritis may increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. However, there is still no high-quality evidence to explain this causal relationship. We conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study to assess the associations of hip arthritis and knee arthritis with 14 types of cardiovascular diseases in the general population. METHOD Genome-wide association studies for hip arthritis and knee arthritis were obtained from the UK Biobank. Genome-wide association studies of the 14 types of cardiovascular diseases we studied were extracted from the genetic consortia and the FinnGen consortium. Inverse variance weighted (IVW), maximum likelihood, weighted medium, penalized weighted median, and IVW (fixed effects) of MR were applied to a two-sample MR analysis. The mean pleiotropy of genetic variation and sensitivity analysis were used to evaluate the reliability of the results, and the MR-Egger test and leave-one-out method are the core evaluation methods. RESULT Genetically predicted knee arthritis was causally associated with vein thromboembolism (IVW Odds Ratio (OR): 1.005, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 0.842-1.199, P = 0.020) and pulmonary embolism (IVW OR: 1.003, 95% CI: 0.841-1.197, P = 0.025). Furthermore, hip arthritis also has a significant impact on cardiovascular diseases and is positively correlated with ischemic stroke (IVW OR: 1.086, 95% CI: 0.910-1.295, P = 0.024), atrial fibrillation (IVW OR: 1.093, 95% CI: 0.917-1.304, P = 0.019), and coronary artery disease (IVW OR: 1.061, 95% CI: 0.890-1.266, P = 0. 0.002). CONCLUSION Our study suggested that osteoarthritis may increase the risk of vein thromboembolism, pulmonary embolism, ischemic stroke, atrial fibrillation, and coronary artery disease. However, the findings provided no evidence to support that osteoarthritis has a large effect on the risk of cardiovascular diseases that we studied. Further research is needed to clarify the results.
