Most Publications Regarding Platelet-Rich Plasma Use in the Knee Are From Asia, Investigate Injection for Osteoarthritis, and Show Outcome Improvement: A Scoping Review. Arthroscopy 2024:S0749-8063(24)00252-4. [PMID: 38537725 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2024.03.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Revised: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 03/17/2024] [Indexed: 04/23/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate and synthesize the available literature related to platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment of knee pathologies and to provide recommendations to inform future research in the field. METHODS PubMed, CINAHL, and Scopus databases were queried on October 6, 2023. All identified citations were collated and uploaded into Covidence for screening and data extraction. Studies were included if they were human studies published in English with adult cohorts that received PRP as a procedural injection or surgical augmentation for knee pathologies with patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and level of evidence Levels I-IV. RESULTS Our search yielded 2,615 studies, of which 155 studies from 2006 to 2023 met the inclusion criteria. Median follow-up was 9 months (±11.2 months). Most studies (75.5%) characterized the leukocyte content of PRP, although most studies (86%) did not use a comprehensive classification scheme. In addition, most studies were from Asia (50%) and Europe (32%) and were from a single center (96%). In terms of treatment, 74% of studies examined PRP as a procedural injection, whereas 26% examined PRP as an augmentation. Most studies (68%) examined treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Many studies (83%) documented significant improvements in PROMs, including 93% of Level III/IV evidence studies and 72% of Level I/II evidence studies, although most studies (70%) failed to include minimal clinically important difference values. The visual analog scale was the most-used PROM (58% of studies), whereas the Short Form Health Survey 36-item was the least-used PROM (5% of studies). CONCLUSIONS Most published investigations of knee PRP are performed in Asia, investigate procedural injection for osteoarthritis, and show significant outcome improvements. In addition, this review highlights the need for better classification of PRP formulations. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, scoping Review of level I-IV studies.

Vu HM, Tran HD, Nguyen AK, Han BO, Hoang BX. Effectiveness of Bach Nien Kien Health Supplement in the Treatment of Patients With Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis. In Vivo 2024; 38:963-970. [PMID: 38418140 PMCID: PMC10905488 DOI: 10.21873/invivo.13528] [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: 08/17/2023] [Revised: 09/12/2023] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 03/01/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is the most common disease in adults. We conducted a clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Bach Nien Kien (BNK) in supportive therapy for patients with symptomatic KOA. PATIENTS AND METHODS An open interventional study was performed on 60 patients aged 38 to 70 with the diagnosis of symptomatic KOA. The patients were assigned to a study group (SG) with 30 subjects and a control group (CG) with 30 subjects using a matching method. The patients in SG were treated with electroacupuncture, glucosamine supplement, and BNK, while the patients in CG received the same treatment without BNK. RESULTS At the end of the 30-day treatment (d30), the SG had a reduction in VAS score compared to a pre-treatment level of 3.03±0.96 points, which was more than the CG of 2.5±0.90 points. The excellent result in the SG was 10%, and the CG had no excellent result. The good result in the SG was 56.7%, and the CG group was only 26.7%. The moderate and poor results in the CG were high, 63.3%, and 10%, respectively; in the SG, only 26.7% and 6.7%. The difference in overall treatment results between the SG and CG was statistically significant (p<0.05). During the 30-day treatment period in both groups, no patient reported any undesirable effects. CONCLUSION Bach Nien Kien health supplement is effective and safe for controlling KOA symptoms and improving joint motion and quality of life for patients with symptomatic KOA.

Long term improvement of knee osteoarthritis after injection of single high/very high volume of very pure PRP: A retrospective analysis of patients optimally managed in dedicated centers. Regen Ther 2024; 25:203-212. [PMID: 38234679 PMCID: PMC10792744 DOI: 10.1016/j.reth.2023.12.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2023] [Revised: 11/26/2023] [Accepted: 12/17/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction PRP is gaining increasing interest for pain relief and improvement of joint function in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) but practices and results remain heterogeneous limiting its adoption as standard of care. Current international recommendations are to collect real-life evidence of efficacy with a systematic monitoring of PRP quality and patients' outcomes. We aimed to analyze the response of patients presenting KOA and treated with standardized PRP injection in routine care. We also investigated the potential contributing factors including patient's phenotype and PRP characteristics. Methods Patients with symptomatic KOA and that failed first-line therapy received a single injection of a qualified PRP prepared using medical devices allowing to recover a high/very high volume of very pure PRP. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score were recorded at baseline and during 18 months follow-up. Results 431 patients had available follow-up data at 3 months, 291 at 6 months, 137 at 12 months and 44 at 18 months. PRP induced a significant decrease of WOMAC score at all follow up endpoints (29.2 ± 19.2 at 3 months, p < 0.001 and 25.9 ± 19.7 at 12 months, p < 0.01, compared to 39.7 ± 18.9 at baseline). Similar results were observed for pain VAS (38.9 ± 23.3 at 3 months, p < 0.001 and 35.3 ± 24.1 at 12 months, p < 0.05, compared to 56.0 ± 20.7 at baseline). Changes at 12 months were correlated to baseline scores and to the level of improvement at 3 months. The proportion of OMERACT OARSI responders reached 56.2 % for the total cohort and 60.4 % for severe patients at 6 months. Treatment failure occurred for 8.4 % of patients. Age, BMI or Kellgren-Lawrence grade did not impact on efficacy. Conclusion This real-life study evidences the clinical benefit of a standardized high or very high-volume injection of very pure PRP in patients with KOA, including those with a severe grade. It opens perspectives in the positioning of such strategy to delay arthroplasty and provide insights on factors able to anticipate long term efficacy.

SAS-PRP Study: A Real-Life Satisfaction Assessment in Patients with Cartilage Lesions of the Knee Treated by Platelet-Rich Plasma. Bioengineering (Basel) 2023; 10:1276. [PMID: 38002400 PMCID: PMC10669872 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering10111276] [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: 08/24/2023] [Revised: 10/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/28/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a rising therapy treating locomotor system lesions such as knee osteoarthritis. The objective of this study was to evaluate patients' satisfaction 6 to 12 months after a PRP injection for cartilage lesions of their knee under real-life conditions. Patients' satisfaction was assessed by a specific questionnaire named SATMED-Q©, which explores six different dimensions of a given treatment. In addition, pain and function were assessed thanks to VAS pain, WOMAC, and IKDC scores. Responders were identified through the OMERACT-OARSI criteria. We observed excellent satisfaction after a PRP injection with a SATMED-Q© score of 80.81% 6 to 12 months after the procedure. Even when there was no significant improvement in pain and function scores, 52% of the evaluated population fulfilled the OMERACT-OARSI criteria and were considered responders. According to the sub-group analysis, patients with less osteoarthritis damage (i.e., Kellgren-Lawrence grades 1-2) and older study subjects (i.e., >40 years old) with focal chondropathy had benefited most from their PRP injection. Thus, platelet-rich plasma seems to be a well-tolerated and efficient therapy for cartilage lesions of the knee.

Retrospective Analysis of Responders and Impaired Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis Treated with Two Consecutive Injections of Very Pure Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). Bioengineering (Basel) 2023; 10:922. [PMID: 37627807 PMCID: PMC10451974 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering10080922] [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: 06/21/2023] [Revised: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 08/01/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the effectiveness of two consecutive intraarticular injections of PRP to treat knee osteoarthritis (KOA), discriminating between responders and impaired patients. METHODS This retrospective study included 73 consecutive patients who were referred for two intra-articular PRP injections (one week apart) for treating symptomatic moderate/severe KOA. Biological characterization of the PRP, including platelets, leukocytes and erythrocytes, was evaluated. Patient's subjective symptoms were recorded before the treatment and 1 year after the second injection using pain VAS and WOMAC scores. Responders were defined by an improvement of 10 points on WOMAC. RESULTS At a 1-year follow up, we found 36 (49.3%) patients who fulfilled the criteria of responders, and 21 (28.8%) patients were impaired. A statistically and clinically significant global improvement of -29.2 ± 14.3 (p < 0.001) points in WOMAC score was observed 1 year after treatment in the responder group, with a higher response rate in patients with KL 2 (57.7%) compared to KL IV (28.6%). The percentage of patients with KL IV was higher in the impaired group (48.0%) compared to the responders (16.6%). As expected, the evaluation of the functionality of the knee in the impaired group indicates that it significantly worsened after one year from treatment (p = 0.027). However, the average pain score remained stable with no significant differences after 1 year (p = 0.843). No clinical complications or severe adverse events after the PRP injections were reported. CONCLUSION The present study suggests that two intra-articular injections of 10 mL of very pure PRP provide pain and functional improvement in symptomatic KOA.
