Cocea AC, Stoica CI. Interactions and Trends of Interleukins, PAI-1, CRP, and TNF-α in Inflammatory Responses during the Perioperative Period of Joint Arthroplasty: Implications for Pain Management-A Narrative Review. J Pers Med 2024; 14:537. [PMID: 38793119 PMCID: PMC11122505 DOI: 10.3390/jpm14050537] [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: 04/16/2024] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Inflammation during the perioperative period of joint arthroplasty is a critical aspect of patient outcomes, influencing both the pathophysiology of pain and the healing process. This narrative review comprehensively evaluates the roles of specific cytokines and inflammatory biomarkers in this context and their implications for pain management. Inflammatory responses are initiated and propagated by cytokines, which are pivotal in the development of both acute and chronic postoperative pain. Pro-inflammatory cytokines play essential roles in up-regulating the inflammatory response, which, if not adequately controlled, leads to sustained pain and impaired tissue healing. Anti-inflammatory cytokines work to dampen inflammatory responses and promote resolution. Our discussion extends to the genetic and molecular influences on cytokine production, which influence pain perception and recovery rates post-surgery. Furthermore, the role of PAI-1 in modulating inflammation through its impact on the fibrinolytic system highlights its potential as a therapeutic target. The perioperative modulation of these cytokines through various analgesic and anesthetic techniques, including the fascia iliac compartment block, demonstrates a significant reduction in pain and inflammatory markers, thus underscoring the importance of targeted therapeutic strategies. Our analysis suggests that a nuanced understanding of the interplay between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines is required. Future research should focus on individualized pain management strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteoarthritis (OA) is frequently perceived as a disease of the elderly and an inevitable result of aging. Because OA studies often are restricted to older adults, there is limited information on OA in younger adults. This study describes the burden of OA across a wide age range and compares younger and older adults. METHODS Descriptive analysis of the Survey on Living with Chronic Diseases in Canada - Arthritis Component, a nationally representative survey of Canadians ≥20 years who reported an arthritis diagnosis in the Canadian Community Health Survey, a general health population survey. Analyses were restricted to those reporting OA and no other kind of arthritis (n = 1,749). RESULTS In the representative group with OA, 55.4% were younger than 65 years. The mean age at diagnosis was 50 years, with 30.4% reporting being diagnosed before age 45 years. Younger adults reported similar symptom severity as their older counterparts with OA regarding the mean number of affected joint sites, severity of pain and fatigue, and activity limitations. In the youngest age group, those with OA were significantly more likely to report fair or poor overall and mental health and life dissatisfaction compared with their general counterparts; the same was not the case in the oldest age group. CONCLUSION OA is not uncommon among younger and middle-aged adults, and they experience OA impacts comparable with those for older adults. These findings suggest that younger adults with OA will live many years with symptoms and disability and highlight a need for effective OA management across ages.

Abstract
Glycosylation is a crucial post-translational modification process where sugar molecules (glycans) are covalently linked to proteins, lipids, or other biomolecules. In this highly regulated and complex process, a series of enzymes are involved in adding, modifying, or removing sugar residues. This process plays a pivotal role in various biological functions, influencing the structure, stability, and functionality of the modified molecules. Glycosylation is essential in numerous biological processes, including cell adhesion, signal transduction, immune response, and biomolecular recognition. Dysregulation of glycosylation is associated with various diseases. Glycation, a post-translational modification characterized by the non-enzymatic attachment of sugar molecules to proteins, has also emerged as a crucial factor in various diseases. This review comprehensively explores the multifaceted role of glycation in disease pathogenesis, with a specific focus on its implications in osteoarthritis (OA). Glycosylation and glycation alterations wield a profound influence on OA pathogenesis, intertwining with disease onset and progression. Diverse studies underscore the multifaceted role of aberrant glycosylation in OA, particularly emphasizing its intricate relationship with joint tissue degradation and inflammatory cascades. Distinct glycosylation patterns, including N-glycans and O-glycans, showcase correlations with inflammatory cytokines, matrix metalloproteinases, and cellular senescence pathways, amplifying the degenerative processes within cartilage. Furthermore, the impact of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) formation in OA pathophysiology unveils critical insights into glycosylation-driven chondrocyte behavior and extracellular matrix remodeling. These findings illuminate potential therapeutic targets and diagnostic markers, signaling a promising avenue for targeted interventions in OA management. In this comprehensive review, we aim to thoroughly examine the significant impact of glycosylation or AGEs in OA and explore its varied effects on other related conditions, such as liver-related diseases, immune system disorders, and cancers, among others. By emphasizing glycosylation's role beyond OA and its implications in other diseases, we uncover insights that extend beyond the immediate focus on OA, potentially revealing novel perspectives for diagnosing and treating OA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To summarize the current state of the literature regarding multi-joint osteoarthritis (MJOA) and discuss important future directions. DESIGN A narrative review of the author's work and other key references on this topic with a focus on the Johnston County studies, definitions of MJOA and their impact, multi-site pain in osteoarthritis (OA), genetics and biomarkers in MJOA, and perspectives on future work. RESULTS MJOA is variably defined and lacks a clear consensus definition, making comprehensive study challenging. Involvement of both symptoms and structural changes of OA in multiple joints in an individual is common, but patterns vary by sex, race/ethnicity, and other factors. Outcomes (e.g., general health, function, falls, mortality) are negatively impacted by a greater whole-body OA burden. Recent genetic and biomarker studies including whole-body OA assessments have begun to shed some light on potentially unique factors in the MJOA population. CONCLUSIONS Consideration of MJOA is essential for ongoing study of OA phenotypes, epidemiology, risk factors, genetics, biomarkers, and outcomes, to fully understand and eventually limit the negative impact of OA burden on health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pain is a significant global public health concern, particularly among individuals aged 45 and above. Its impact on the overall lifestyle of the individuals varies depending on the affected anatomical parts. Despite its widespread impact, there is limited awareness of the attributes of pain, making effective pain management challenging, particularly in India. This study aims to estimate the prevalence and variation in pain in different anatomical sites among middle-aged and older adults in India. METHODS A cross-sectional design was employed, utilising data from the first wave of the Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI), 2017-2018. The age-sex adjusted prevalence of pain by anatomical sites (the back, joints, and ankles) was estimated using a multivariate logistic regression model. RESULTS 47% of individuals aged 45 years and above reported joint pain, 31% reported back pain and 20% suffered from ankle or foot pain. The prevalence of pain at all the anatomical sites increased with age and was reported higher among females. Relative to respondents aged 45-59 years, those aged 75 years and older exhibited a 41% higher likelihood of experiencing back pain (AOR: 1.41, 95% CI: 1.19-1.67), a 67% higher likelihood of joint pain (AOR: 1.67, 95% CI: 1.49-1.89), and a 32% higher likelihood of ankle/foot pain (AOR: 1.32, 95% CI: 1.16-1.50). In comparison to males, females had a 56% higher likelihood of encountering back pain (AOR: 1.56, 95% CI: 1.40-1.74), a 38% higher likelihood of joint pain (AOR: 1.38, 95% CI: 1.27-1.50), and a 35% higher likelihood of ankle/foot pain (AOR: 1.35, 95% CI: 1.17-1.57). We also found significant regional variations in pain prevalence, with higher rates in the mountainous regions of India. CONCLUSION This research highlights the high burden of pain in major anatomical sites among middle-aged and older adults in India and emphasises the need for increased awareness and effective pain management strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To highlight some important findings from osteoarthritis (OA) epidemiology and therapy research undertaken over the past year. METHODS Search of MEDLINE and EMBASE databases between April 1, 2022 to March 3, 2023 using "exp *Osteoarthritis/" as the preliminary search term. The search was limited to articles published in English and including human subjects. Final inclusions were based on perceived importance and results that may inform improved identification of risk factors or OA treatments, as well as OA subgroups of potential relevance to risk factors or treatment approaches. RESULTS 3182 studies were screened, leaving 208 eligible for inclusion. This narrative review of thirty-three selected studies was arranged into: a) OA predictors - population-based studies, b) Specific predictors of OA and OA outcome; c) Intra-articular injections, and d) OA phenotypes. There was some suggestion of sex differences in predictors of incidence or outcomes. Body mass index changes appear largely to affect knee OA outcomes. Evidence points to a lack of benefit of viscosupplementation in knee OA; findings were variable for other injectables. Studies of OA phenotypes reveal potentially relevant clinical and pathophysiological differences. CONCLUSIONS Identifying risk factors for the incidence/progression of OA represents an ongoing and important area of OA research. Sex may play a role in this understanding and bears consideration and further study. For knee injectables other than viscosupplementation, additional high-quality trials appear warranted. Continued investigation and application of phenotyping across the OA disease, illness and care spectrum may be key to developing disease-modifying agents and their appropriate selection for individuals.

Frequency of multisite non-hand joint involvement in patients with thumb-base osteoarthritis, and associations with functional and patient-reported outcomes. OSTEOARTHRITIS AND CARTILAGE OPEN 2023; 5:100397. [PMID: 37609061 PMCID: PMC10440563 DOI: 10.1016/j.ocarto.2023.100397] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2023] [Revised: 08/02/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2023] [Indexed: 08/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose In OA studies, the focus often is on an index-joint; other affected joint sites are often overlooked. In this thumb-base OA study, we documented the frequency of symptomatic non-hand joint sites and investigated whether their count was associated with thumb-specific functional and patient-reported outcome measures. Design Patients seeking care for thumb-base OA (conservative or surgical) were included. A patient-completed questionnaire captured sociodemographic and health characteristics, symptomatic hand and non-hand joint sites, and outcome measures (thumb-base pain intensity, symptoms and disability (TASD) and upper-extremity disability/symptoms (quickDASH)). Grip and pinch strength were measured. Linear regressions examined the association between each outcome and symptomatic joint site count, adjusted for several covariates. Results The mean age of the 145 patients was 62 years, 72% were female. Mean symptomatic non-hand joint site count was 3.6. Ten percent reported only their hands as symptomatic; 30% reported 2-3 other symptomatic sites, and 49% reported 4+. From cross-sectional multivariable analyses, a higher symptomatic non-hand joint site count was associated with worse scores for all patient-reported outcomes and grip strength. Every unit increase in joint site count (49% had a 4+ count) was associated with a 2.1-3.3 unit increase (worse) in patient-reported outcome scores (all p < 0.02). Conclusions In this sample, nearly 80% of patients had 2+ symptomatic non-hand joint sites. These symptoms were associated with worse thumb- and hand-specific outcomes, suggesting a need for awareness of whole body OA burden, with implications for outcome score interpretations, study designs, and provision of care in thumb-base OA.

Abstract
ABSTRACT People with persistent low back pain (LBP) often report co-occurring persistent musculoskeletal (MSK) pain in other body regions that may influence prognosis as well as treatment approaches and outcomes. This study describes the prevalence and patterns of co-occurring persistent MSK pain among people with persistent LBP based on consecutive cross-sectional studies over 3 decades in the population-based HUNT Study, Norway. The analyses comprised 15,375 participants in HUNT2 (1995-1997), 10,024 in HUNT3 (2006-2008), and 10,647 in HUNT4 (2017-2019) who reported persistent LBP. Overall, ∼90% of participants in each of the HUNT surveys with persistent LBP reported persistent co-occurring MSK pain in other body sites. The age-standardized prevalence of the most common co-occurring MSK pain sites was consistent across the 3 surveys: 64% to 65% report co-occurring neck pain, 62% to 67% report shoulder pain, and 53% to 57% report hip or thigh pain. Using latent class analysis (LCA), we identified 4 distinct patterns of persistent LBP phenotypes that were consistent across the 3 surveys: (1) "LBP only," (2) "LBP with neck or shoulder pain," (3) "LBP with lower extremity or wrist or hand pain," and (4) "LBP with multisite pain," with conditional item response probabilities of 34% to 36%, 30% to 34%, 13% to 17%, and 16% to 20%, respectively. In conclusion, 9 of 10 adults in this Norwegian population with persistent LBP report co-occurring persistent MSK pain, most commonly in the neck, shoulders, and hips or thighs. We identified 4 LCA-derived LBP phenotypes of distinct MSK pain site patterns. In the population, both the prevalence and pattern of co-occurring MSK pain and the distinct phenotypic MSK pain patterns seem stable over decades.

Effects of different obesogenic diets on joint integrity, inflammation and intermediate monocyte levels in a rat groove model of osteoarthritis. Front Physiol 2023; 14:1211972. [PMID: 37520829 PMCID: PMC10372350 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2023.1211972] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 08/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Obesogenic diets aggravate osteoarthritis (OA) by inducing low-grade systemic inflammation, and diet composition may affect OA severity. Here, we investigated the effect of diet on joint damage and inflammation in an OA rat model. Methods: Wistar-Han rats (n = 24) were fed a chow, a high-fat (HF) diet, or a high-fat/high-sucrose (HFS) for 24 weeks. OA was induced unilaterally 12 weeks after the diet onset by groove surgery, and compared to sham surgery or no surgical intervention (contralateral limb). Knee OA severity was determined by OARSI histopathology scoring system. At several timepoints monocyte populations were measured using flow cytometry, and joint macrophage response was determined via CD68 immunohistochemistry staining. Results: Groove surgery combined with HF or HFS diet resulted in higher OARSI scores, and both HF and HFS diet showed increased circulating intermediate monocytes compared to chow fed rats. Additionally, in the HFS group, minimal damage by sham surgery resulted in an increased OARSI score. HFS diet resulted in the largest metabolic dysregulation, synovial inflammation and increased CD68 staining in tibia epiphysis bone marrow. Conclusion: Obesogenic diets resulted in aggravated OA development, even with very minimal joint damage when combined with the sucrose/fat-rich diet. We hypothesize that diet-induced low-grade inflammation primes monocytes and macrophages in the blood, bone marrow, and synovium, resulting in joint damage when triggered by groove OA inducing surgery. When the metabolic dysregulation is larger, as observed here for the HFS diet, the surgical trigger required to induce joint damage may be smaller, or even redundant.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative and progressive joint disease. Cellular senescence is an irreversible cell cycle arrest progressive with age, while protein glycosylation is the most abundant post-translational modification, regulating various cellular and biological pathways. The implication of either chondrocyte senescence or protein glycosylation in the OA pathogenesis has been extensively and individually studied. In this study, we aimed to investigate the possible relationship between chondrocyte senescence and protein glycosylation on the pathogenesis of OA using single-cell RNA sequencing datasets of clinical OA specimens deposited in the Gene Expression Omnibus database with a different cohort. We demonstrated that both cellular senescence signal and protein glycosylation pathways in chondrocytes are validly associated with OA pathogenesis. In addition, the cellular senescence signal is well-connected to the O-linked glycosylation pathway in OA chondrocyte and vice-versa. The expression levels of the polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (GALNT) family, which is essential for the biosynthesis of O-Glycans at the early stage, are highly upregulated in OA chondrocytes. Moreover, the expression levels of the GALNT family are prominently associated with chondrocyte senescence as well as pathological features of OA. Collectively, these findings uncover a crucial relationship between chondrocyte senescence and O-linked glycosylation on the OA pathophysiology, thereby revealing a potential target for OA.

BACKGROUND Previous studies have found that lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) often co-occurs with knee or hip OA and can impact treatment response. However, it is unclear what participant characteristics may be helpful in identifying individuals with these co-occurring conditions. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to explore characteristics associated with comorbid symptoms of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) in people with knee or hip osteoarthritis (OA) enrolled in a primary care education and exercise program. METHODS Sociodemographic, clinical characteristics, health status measures, and a self-report questionnaire on the presence of LSS symptoms was collected at baseline from the Good Life with osteoArthritis in Denmark primary care program for knee and hip OA. Cross-sectional associations between characteristics and the presence of comorbid LSS symptoms were assessed separately in participants with primary complaint of knee and hip OA, using domain-specific logistic models and a logistic model including all characteristics. RESULTS A total of 6,541 participants with a primary complaint of knee OA and 2,595 participants with a primary complaint of hip OA were included, of which 40% and 50% reported comorbid LSS symptoms, respectively. LSS symptoms were associated with similar characteristics in knee and hip OA. Sick leave was the only sociodemographic variable consistently associated with LSS symptoms. For clinical characteristics, back pain, longer symptom duration and bilateral or comorbid knee or hip symptoms were also consistently associated. Health status measures were not consistently related to LSS symptoms. CONCLUSION Comorbid LSS symptoms in people with knee or hip OA undergoing a primary care treatment program of group-based education and exercise were common and associated with a similar set of characteristics. These characteristics may help to identify people with co-occurring LSS and knee or hip OA, which can be used to help guide clinical decision-making.

Relationship Between Body Mass Index and Osteoarthritis for Single and Multisite Osteoarthritis of the Hand, Hip, or Knee: Findings From a Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging. Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken) 2022; 74:1879-1887. [PMID: 34121361 DOI: 10.1002/acr.24729] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2020] [Revised: 05/10/2021] [Accepted: 06/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether an apparent association between hand osteoarthritis (OA) and adiposity is explained by the presence of OA at other joint sites. METHODS Data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging, first cycle, comprehensive cohort, were used. Respondents age 45-85 years (n = 18,279) were asked separate questions about doctor-diagnosed OA in the hand, hip, or knee. Multinomial logistic regression was used to investigate the relationship between all combinations of hand, hip, and knee OA and body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR). RESULTS OA was reported by 34.6% of respondents, 28.0% with OA at >1 joint site. Hand OA was not significantly associated with BMI after accounting for OA at other joint sites, with similar findings for WHtR. All joint site combinations containing the knee were strongly associated with BMI, with odds ratios (ORs) ranging from OR 2.92 (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 2.53-3.37) for knee OA only with obesity class I to OR 9.98 (95% CI 7.12-13.88) for multi-joint knee, hip, hand OA with obesity class II/III. BMI distributions including knee OA were broader and shifted to higher BMI levels than those for hand or hip OA. CONCLUSION Apparent associations between hand OA and BMI may be explained by concurrent OA at other joint sites. Recognizing that OA is a multi-joint disease is crucial for studies of the associations of adiposity with OA in a particular joint, especially the hand. The association between knee OA and BMI appears to be distinct from those for OA at other joint sites.

Identification of Key Genes Related to the Obesity Patients with Osteoarthritis Based on Weighted Gene Coexpression Network Analysis (WGCNA). COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:8953807. [PMID: 35860189 PMCID: PMC9293492 DOI: 10.1155/2022/8953807] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2022] [Accepted: 06/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Background. Increasing evidence has suggested that obesity affects the occurrence and progression of osteoarthritis (OA). However, the underlying molecular mechanism that obesity affects the course of OA is not fully understood and remains to be studied. Methods. The gene expression profiles of the GSE117999 and GSE98460 datasets were derived from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Firstly, we explored the correlation between obesity and OA using chi-square test. Next, weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) was executed to identify obesity patients with OA- (obesity OA-) related genes in the GSE117999 dataset by “WGCNA” package. Moreover, differential expression analysis was performed to select the hub genes by “limma” package. Furthermore, ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) and functional enrichment analysis (“clusterProfiler” package) were conducted to investigate the functions of genes. Finally, the regulatory networks of hub genes and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network were created by the Cytoscape 3.5.1 software and STRING. Results. A total of 15 differentially expressed obesity OA-related genes, including 9 lncRNAs and 6 protein coding genes, were detected by overlapping 66 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between normal BMI samples and obesity OA samples and 451 obesity OA-related genes. Moreover, CCR10, LENG8, QRFPR, UHRF1BP1, and HLA-DRB4 were identified as hub genes. IPA results indicated that the hub genes were noticeably enriched in antimicrobial response, inflammatory response, and humoral immune response. PPI network showed that CCR10 interacted more with other proteins. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) indicated that the hub genes were related to protein translation, cancer, chromatin modification, antigen processing, and presentation. Conclusion. Our results further demonstrated the role of obesity in OA and might provide new targets for the treatment of obesity OA.

Abstract
Objective To understand differences between people with arthritis who do not know their type (DK) compared to those reporting osteoarthritis (OA) or inflammatory and autoimmune types of arthritis (IAA), including the receipt of appropriate health care, information, and services. Methods Analysis of the Survey on Living with Chronic Disease in Canada–Arthritis Component. Respondents aged ≥20 years with health professional-diagnosed arthritis (n = 4,385) were characterized as reporting DK, OA or IAA. Variables: arthritis characteristics (duration, number and site of joints affected), arthritis impact (current pain and fatigue, difficulty in sleeping and daily activities, impact on life), health (self-rated general and mental health, life stress), arthritis management strategies (seeing health professionals, medication use, assistive devices, receipt of arthritis information, self-management activities). Multinomial logistic and log-Poisson regressions were used, as appropriate, to compare the DK to the OA and IAA groups. Results In this arthritis sample, 44.2% were in the DK group, 38.3% reported OA and 17.5% reported IAA. Those in the DK group were more likely to be younger, have low income, low education, and be of non-white cultural background compared to those with OA. There were no significant differences in arthritis impact, but the DK group was less likely to have received information on, or have used, arthritis management strategies. Conclusions The sociodemographic characteristics of the DK group suggest they likely have lower health literacy. They were less likely to have accessed health care and other support services, indicating this is an important group for health education, both for individuals with arthritis and health care providers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To understand factors associated with pain intensity responder status following nonsurgical hip osteoarthritis (OA) intervention, according to sex. METHODS Data were from individuals with hip OA participating in the Danish Good Life With Osteoarthritis in Denmark 8-week education and exercise program. The following factors were recorded at program entry: age; education; mental well-being; comorbidities; body mass index; symptoms in hip, knee, and low back; and program-specific factors including education sessions, former participant lectures, and supervised exercise sessions. Pain intensity was recorded at baseline and at month 3 (post-program) on a 0-100-mm visual analog scale. Response was defined as pain intensity improvement of ≥30% from baseline to post-program. Logistic regression was used and conducted separately in male and female subjects. RESULTS The sample included 791 men and 2,253 women. Female subjects had a mean baseline pain score of 47.2 of 100 (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 46.4-48.1) and male subjects had a score of 41.7 (95% CI 40.3-43.1). By post-program, the proportion of pain responders was 50.4% among women and 45.8% among men (difference P = 0.025). Among women, program-specific factors (attending former participant lectures and more supervised exercise sessions) were positively associated with pain response, as were better mental well-being and fewer comorbidities, while symptoms in other joints/sites were associated with a decreased likelihood of response. Among men, program-specific factors were not associated with response, while better mental well-being and fewer comorbidities were associated with being a responder. CONCLUSION Findings suggest that the influence of some factors on pain response differ for male and female subjects and point to a potential need for targeted approaches for men and women who may require different key messages/approaches from health care providers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to determine the prevalence of joint pain and its association with demographic, socioeconomic and behavioural factors in Nepal. DESIGN The study was a national cross-sectional population-based study. SETTING We used the most recent nationally representative population-based cross-sectional health survey, The WHO STEPwise approach to surveillance (STEPS) survey, 2019 from all seven provinces of Nepal including both urban and rural areas. PARTICIPANTS The participants were men and women aged 15-69 years, who were usual residents of the households for at least 6 months and have stayed the night before the survey. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES Primary outcome in this study was prevalence of joint pain. The secondary outcome measure was factors associated with joint pain in Nepal. Joint pain in our study was based on any self-reported symptoms of joint pain, stiffness and swelling lasting for more than 1 month in the past 12 months. Data were weighted to generate national estimates. RESULTS The prevalence of self-reported joint pain in Nepal was 17% (95% CI 14.3% to 20.2%) with higher prevalence for older adults, females, ever married, none/less than primary education, smoker, lowest wealth quintile, homemaker, those with sufficient physical activity and those living in the Karnali province of Nepal. In multivariable analysis self-reported joint pain was found to be associated with advanced age (adjusted OR (AOR)=2.36; 95% CI 1.56 to 3.55), sex (AOR=1.47; 95% CI 1.19 to 1.82) and sufficient physical activity (AOR=0.40; 95% CI 0.25 to 0.65). CONCLUSIONS The results showed a high prevalence of joint pain in Nepal. Considering the process of ageing and rapid growth in non-communicable disease, this study warrants the need for health policies directed to prevention, treatment and rehabilitation for people affected by chronic musculoskeletal conditions addressing related disabilities and loss of work in Nepal.

Spine J 2021; 21:80-89. [PMID: 32805432 DOI: 10.1016/j.spinee.2020.08.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2020] [Revised: 08/11/2020] [Accepted: 08/11/2020] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT In the lumbar spine osteoarthritis (LS-OA) population having surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) symptoms, a significant proportion of patients experience limited benefit following the intervention. Thus, identifying contributing factors to this is important. Individuals with OA often have multiple joint symptoms, yet this has received limited attention in this population. PURPOSE Document the occurrence of joint symptoms among patients undergoing surgery for LS-OA, and investigate the influence of these symptoms on disability postsurgery. DESIGN Prospective study of consecutive patients followed to 12-month postsurgery. PATIENT SAMPLE Patients undergoing surgery (decompression surgery, with or without fusion) for neurogenic claudication with or without back pain due to LSS with a primary pathology diagnosis of LS-OA. OUTCOMES MEASURES Patient self-reported: Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), completed pre- and 12-month postsurgery; and, completed presurgery, age, sex, education, smoking, comorbid conditions, opioid use, short/long-term disability, depression and anxiety symptoms, back and leg pain intensity, presence of spondylolisthesis, procedure, prior spine surgery, and joints with arthritis and "pain/stiffness/swelling most days of the month" indicated on a homunculus (a joint site count was derived). ASSESSMENTS Height and weight, used to calculate body mass index; timed-up-and-go performance-based test. METHODS Outcome of interest was achieving a clinically important improvement (CII) in ODI by 12-month postsurgery (yes/no). The association between joint site count and achieving a CII was examined by multivariable logistic regression analyses, adjusted for other measures. RESULTS In all, 165 patients were included. The mean age was 67 years (range: 44-90) and 47% were female. Seventy-seven percent reported 1+ joint site other than the back, 62% reported 2+, and 25% reported 4+. Among those achieving a CII, 21% had 4+ joint sites, compared with 31% among those not achieving a CII. Adjusted analyses: Increasing joint site count was associated with increasing risk (odds ratio [OR]: 1.32, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.05, 1.66) of not achieving a CII; for those with 4+ joints, adjusted probability of not achieving a CII exceeded 50%. Also associated with an increased risk of not achieving a CII was presurgery anxiety (OR: 2.97, 95% CI: 1.02, 8.65), opioid use (OR: 2.89, 95% CI: 1.07, 7.82), and worse back pain intensity score (OR: 1.27, 95% CI: 1.05, 1.53). CONCLUSIONS Multijoint involvement was highly prevalent in this LS-OA surgical sample. Its association with poorer postsurgery outcome supports a comprehensive approach to OA management and care. Knowledge of multijoint symptoms should inform patient education, shared decision-making, and recommendations for postsurgical rehabilitation and self-management strategies.
