Title: Imaging of Rheumatic Diseases - Poster II: XR/CT/PET/MRI

Session Type: ACR Poster Session B

Session Time: 9:00AM-11:00AM

Background/Purpose: There has been increasing interest in hip morphology as a risk factor for OA. There is a need for frequency estimates in the general population (Dickenson OAC 2016). We aimed to provide a description of these measures in a well-characterized community-based cohort.

Methods: This cross-sectional analysis involved data collected during 1991-1997 from the Johnston County OA Project.  Hip morphology measures were defined using OxMorf software (Oxford, UK).  Radiographic hip OA (rHOA) was defined, at the participant level, if at least one hip had Kellgren-Lawrence grade 2 or more.  Descriptive means and 95% confidence intervals for hip measures were obtained from unadjusted regression and logit models, as appropriate, using GEE to account for within-participant hip correlation, stratified by sex and rHOA status; comparisons were qualitative.

Results: Complete data were available for 4519 hips from 2263 individuals, mean age 64 years, mean BMI 29 kg/m2, 30% African American, 39% male. Several measures although different by sex, did not differ substantially between those with and without rHOA (triangular index height, femoral shaft angle, extrusion index, coxa profunda). Results for those without rHOA are shown in Table 1. Only crossover sign (~20%) and lateral center edge angle (CEA) <=25 degrees (~25%) were more frequently seen in the non-rHOA compared with the rHOA group. Pathologic AP alpha angles over 60 degrees were seen in 20% of men and 7% of women, while only around 1% had a triangular index sign, both signs of cam-type morphology. About a quarter had CEA <=25 degrees, consistent with mild dysplasia. In contrast, several measures were higher in those with rHOA in at least one hip (Table 2), including AP alpha angle, Gosvig ratio, the proportion with triangular index sign, CEA >40 degrees, and protrusio acetabuli. AP alpha angle > 60 degrees was twice as common in those with rHOA (26% overall; 39% of men, 20% of women) versus those without, and 5% had a triangular index sign. Other measures suggestive of cam type deformity (continuous alpha angle and Gosvig ratio) were also higher compared to the non-rHOA group. CEA > 40 degrees was about twice as frequent among men and women with rHOA versus those without. Protrusio was twice as frequent among women with versus women without rHOA, but was rare in men.

Conclusion: One out of 5 men without rHOA, and 2 out of 5 with rHOA, have a pathologic AP alpha angle in this sample. Radiographic assessment of most measures is confounded by morphologic changes due to rHOA; however, some were not. Both cam-type (alpha angle, Gosvig ratio) and pincer-type (protrusio, CEA >40 degrees) were more common in those with rHOA.

All abstracts accepted to ACR Convergence are under media embargo once the ACR has notified presenters of their abstract’s acceptance. They may be presented at other meetings or published as manuscripts after this time but should not be discussed in non-scholarly venues or outlets. The following embargo policies are strictly enforced by the ACR.

Accepted abstracts are made available to the public online in advance of the meeting and are published in a special online supplement of our scientific journal, Arthritis & Rheumatology. Information contained in those abstracts may not be released until the abstracts appear online. In an exception to the media embargo, academic institutions, private organizations, and companies with products whose value may be influenced by information contained in an abstract may issue a press release to coincide with the availability of an ACR abstract on the ACR website. However, the ACR continues to require that information that goes beyond that contained in the abstract (e.g., discussion of the abstract done as part of editorial news coverage) is under media embargo until 10:00 AM ET on November 14, 2024. Journalists with access to embargoed information cannot release articles or editorial news coverage before this time. Editorial news coverage is considered original articles/videos developed by employed journalists to report facts, commentary, and subject matter expert quotes in a narrative form using a variety of sources (e.g., research, announcements, press releases, events, etc.).

Violation of this policy may result in the abstract being withdrawn from the meeting and other measures deemed appropriate. Authors are responsible for notifying colleagues, institutions, communications firms, and all other stakeholders related to the development or promotion of the abstract about this policy. If you have questions about the ACR abstract embargo policy, please contact ACR abstracts staff at [email protected].
