Courties A, Kouki I, Soliman N, Mathieu S, Sellam J. Osteoarthritis year in review 2024: Epidemiology and therapy. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2024:S1063-4584(24)01320-7. [PMID: 39103081 DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2024.07.014] [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: 06/17/2024] [Revised: 07/24/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/07/2024]
Abstract
This "Year in Review" presents a curated selection of research themes and individual studies within the clinical osteoarthritis (OA) field, focusing on epidemiology and therapy. The search was conducted in electronic database MEDLINE from March 4, 2023, to March 31, 2024, specifically targeting English-language articles involving human participants. Inclusions were based on perceived importance and relevance to identifying risk factors or advancing OA treatments. A total of 6,539 studies were screened by the 5 authors, resulting in 157 studies considered for potential inclusion. Ultimately, 44 studies were selected, uncovering six key OA-related themes: i) the burden of OA (mostly from Global Burden of Disease studies), ii) pain drivers and trajectories, iii) impacts of sex/gender, iv) OA risk factors, and treatments for v) hand and vi) knee OA. The prevalence of OA continues to rise, particularly affecting women, with unclear distinctions in risk factors and treatment responses between sex. Associations with atopy were demonstrated in two significant databases. Notably, the authors were particularly interested in recent high-quality methodology randomised controlled trials focusing on hand (methotrexate, denosumab, colchicine, topical bethamethasone) and knee OA with conflicting results about stem cells injection. These findings collectively contribute to show the growing burden of OA, but also to help the understanding of OA pathophysiology and inform ongoing efforts to enhance management for people with OA.

Hao Z, Wang Y, Wang L, Feng Q, Li H, Chen T, Chen J, Wang J, Shi G, Chen R, Li B, Zhou S, Jin W, Li J. Burden evaluation and prediction of osteoarthritis and site-specific osteoarthritis coupled with attributable risk factors in China from 1990 to 2030. Clin Rheumatol 2024; 43:2061-2077. [PMID: 38696115 DOI: 10.1007/s10067-024-06985-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2023] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/24/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to estimate and predict the burden of osteoarthritis (OA) and site-specific OA (hip, knee, hand, and others) from 1990 to 2030 and their attributable risk factors in China. METHOD Data were obtained from the Global Burden of Diseases 2019. The burden was estimated by analyzing the trends of prevalence, incidence, and disability-adjusted life years (DALY). Population attributable risk (PAR) was calculated to assess the impact of high body mass index (BMI). The prediction from 2020 to 2030 was implemented by Bayesian age-period-cohort analysis. RESULTS In China, prevalent cases, DALY, and incident cases of OA increased to 132.81 million, 4.72 million, and 10.68 million, respectively. Age-standardized rates (ASRs) of prevalence, DALYs, and incidence increased for OA and site-specific OA, especially for hip OA. Site-specific OA showed different susceptible peaking ages, and the burden for those over 50 years old became serious. Female preference existed in the trends for knee OA but not in those for hip, hand, and other OA. PARs of high BMI continued to increase, impacting knee OA more than hip OA and showing female preference. In the next decade, incident cases for OA and site-specific OA will continue to increase, despite that the ASR of OA incidence will decrease. CONCLUSIONS OA and site-specific OA remain huge public health challenges in China. The burden of OA and site-specific OA is increasing, especially among people over 50 years old. Health education, exercise, and removing modifiable risk factors contribute to alleviate the growing burden. Key Points • In China, the burden of osteoarthritis and site-specific osteoarthritis (hip, knee, hand, and others) as well as the Risk Factor (high body mass index) increased greatly from 1990 to 2019. • It is estimated that incident cases for OA and site-specific OA will continue to increase, despite that the ASR of OA incidence will decrease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This research aimed to determine the efficacy of VR therapy in mitigating symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress among older adults following arthroplasty surgery and to comprehend the influence of psychological improvement on changes in functional outcomes. METHODS Utilizing a parallel-group randomized controlled trial design, the study involved 68 osteoarthritis patients who had recently undergone either total hip or knee arthroplasty. Subjects were split into two groups. The experimental group underwent eight VR therapy sessions during their rehabilitation, while the control group was given standard care. Assessments encompassed both psychological and functional outcomes, with tools like the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Perceived Stress Scale, and the Barthel Index, among others. The experimental group showcased notable enhancements in both psychological and functional areas compared to the control group. RESULTS A significant (p value of < 0.001) relationship was found between psychological progress and functional recovery, indicating that psychological factors can serve as predictors for functional outcomes. CONCLUSIONS The findings emphasize the promising role of VR therapy as a beneficial addition to the rehabilitation process for older adults' post-hip and knee arthroplasty. The integration of psychological interventions in standard rehabilitation practices appears valuable, but further studies are needed to ascertain the long-term advantages of such an approach.

Patterns and natural history of hand pain in individuals with symptomatic hand osteoarthritis in a prospective cohort study: A post-hoc analysis of a randomised controlled trial. OSTEOARTHRITIS AND CARTILAGE OPEN 2023; 5:100413. [PMID: 37920673 PMCID: PMC10618785 DOI: 10.1016/j.ocarto.2023.100413] [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: 06/28/2023] [Revised: 09/28/2023] [Accepted: 10/15/2023] [Indexed: 11/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective To investigate the variation in the distribution and the natural history of hand pain over 6 weeks in individuals with symptomatic hand osteoarthritis. Design Patient-reported outcome data were collected at baseline and weekly for 6 weeks from community-based participants enrolled in a randomised controlled trial. Participants were grouped based on location of significant pain (Visual Analogue Scale, VAS≥40/100 mm) (both carpometacarpal (CMC) and interphalangeal (IP), CMC only, and IP only). Results At baseline, of the 106 participants, 55(51.9 %) had pain in both CMC and IP joints, 28(26.4 %) in IP joints only, and 16(15.1 %) in CMC joint only. Those with CMC and IP pain had significantly higher VAS pain [68.1 (2.6) vs 59.3 (3.5) vs 51.2 (4.7)]; Australian Canadian Osteoarthritis Hand Index, (AUSCAN) pain [290.1 (15.7) vs 225.3 (21.2) vs 237.9 (28.4)], stiffness [57.1 (3.7) vs 44.6 (5.0) vs 32.2 (6.7)] and functional limitation [527.5 (30.9) vs 356.0 (41.7) vs 433.3 (55.7)]; and pain sensitization [PainDETECT score 11.1 (1.1) vs 8.1 (1.8) vs 5.8 (1.9)] compared to those with IP or CMC only pain, respectively. All groups showed improvement in outcomes over 6 weeks without significant inter-group differences. Conclusion In a population with significant hand pain, pain in both CMC and IP joints was most common and identified a more severe phenotype than pain in IP or CMC only with higher pain, more functional limitation and pain sensitization. These data have the potential to inform clinical management of patients with hand pain and patient selection in clinical trials.

Multidisciplinary Rehabilitation after Hyaluronic Acid Injections for Elderly with Knee, Hip, Shoulder, and Temporomandibular Joint Osteoarthritis. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:2047. [PMID: 38004096 PMCID: PMC10672933 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59112047] [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: 09/30/2023] [Revised: 11/12/2023] [Accepted: 11/17/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023]
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent degenerative joint condition characterized by cartilage deterioration, joint inflammation, and functional limitations, particularly impacting the elderly population. Rehabilitation and hyaluronic acid (HA) injections are common therapeutic approaches routinely used in clinical practice, but their synergistic potential is far from being fully characterized. Thus, the aim of this narrative review was to elucidate the multilevel benefits and synergies of integrating these two approaches in multidisciplinary OA rehabilitation. This narrative review follows the scale for the assessment of narrative review articles (SANRA) criteria and involves a comprehensive literature search from July to August 2023. Two independent reviewers screened studies, including those involving human subjects with OA, rehabilitation strategies, and outcomes following HA injection, published in English. Results: HA injections might improve joint biomechanics, reducing friction, absorbing shocks, and potentially regulating inflammation. Rehabilitation plays a pivotal role in strengthening muscles, increasing the range of motion, and enhancing overall function. Optimizing rehabilitation following HA injection might provide additional benefits in joint health. OA management requires a multidisciplinary approach integrating HA injections, rehabilitation, and personalized care. Challenges in patient adherence and healthcare resources currently exist, but emerging technologies offer opportunities to enhance patient engagement and monitoring optimizing sustainability and outcomes of patients with knee, hip, shoulder, and temporomandibular joint OA.

Pay attention to the evidence: in the longer term, intraarticular corticosteroid injections offer only harm for knee osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2023; 31:142-143. [PMID: 36273789 DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2022.10.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2022] [Accepted: 10/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
With respect to the long-term effects of intra-articular corticosteroid injections (IACIs) in knee osteoarthritis (OA), we are at the stage where it seems like the jury has returned a verdict but the judge hasn't yet accepted it. Supporters of IACIs for knee OA, when reading about potential and actual harms and complete lack of any benefit in the medium- or long- term, are now clutching at straws that we shouldn't even expect to observe any benefit in the longer term. Sadly, the same arguments that orthopaedic surgeons use to justify continuing with knee arthroscopy when there are only documented long-term harms and no documented long-term benefits, are being used by rheumatologists to justify continuing with IACIs for knee OA. The only actual reason to keep recommending both IACIs and knee arthroscopy (which sadly society guidelines still do) is the "status quo", with the self-affirming argument that the quality of the RCTs published to date is not (yet) high enough to justify a change in expert opinion. There is a very strong argument against preserving the status quo for knee OA: outcomes everywhere keep getting worse. Knee replacements seem to be on a steady growth curve upwards in all countries and knee OA prevalence itself is also increasing. Something is badly wrong with the status quo for knee OA: if we were getting good results with medical treatment then fewer people would be needing knee replacements, not more. A very easy place to start questioning the status quo is to read a systematic review showing worse results than all comparators for IACIs followed by an editorial saying "let's not give up on IACIs for knee OA just yet". But as mentioned you could just as easily start with an orthopaedic journal editorial saying "let's not give up on knee arthroscopy just yet" after a systematic review showing no benefit for this procedure either.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2022; 9:922321. [PMID: 36579153 PMCID: PMC9790907 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2022.922321] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Hand osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic progressive disease characterized by disabling pain in the hand, with a high clinical burden. This study is designed to assess the epidemiological patterns of hand OA from 1990 to 2019 and analyze its secular trends based on sex, age, and socio-demographic index (SDI) at global, regional, and national levels. Methods Data on the incidence and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of hand OA were extracted from the 2019 Global Burden of Disease (GBD), and their respective age-standardized rates (ASRs) were calculated. The estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) in ASR were calculated to assess the prevalent trends of the incidence and DALYs of hand OA over the recent three decades. The relationship between ASR and SDI was analyzed by Pearson's correlation analysis. Results The incidence of hand OA increased from 371.30 million in 1990 to 676.02 million in 2019, increasing by 82.07%, whereas its age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) decreased, with a downward trend [EAPC = -0.34; 95% confidence interval: -0.39--0.28]. With the changes in age, the incidence of hand OA exhibited a unimodal distribution before 70 years of age, peaking at 50-54 years, while its incidence had an upward trend in the >70 years age groups. Overall, hand OA-related DALYs increased in the recent 30 years. Meanwhile, its annual age-standardized DALY rate decreased, with EAPCs of -0.35 (95% CI, -0.38 --0.32). The DALYs increased with age. In 2019, the ASIR and age-standardized DALY rate were positively associated with the SDI regions. The incidence and DALYs presented predominance in female patients. The burden of hand OA over the recent three decades displayed obvious geographical diversity. Conclusion The incident cases of hand OA increased globally from 1990 to 2019, while the ASIR and age-standardized DALY rate decreased. However, in many countries and regions, there was a rising trend of ASR related to incidence and DALYs. In addition, the prevalence revealed geographical, sex, and age diversity. Thus, governments and medical institutions should reallocate medical resources based on the epidemiological characteristics of hand OA.
