Systemic Inflammation and Physical Function in Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of functional limitation and disability in older adults. But why some knee OA patients develop functional limitation…Abstract Number: 2198 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Combinatorial Peripheral Blood Inflammatory and MRI-Based Biomarkers Predict Radiographic Joint Space Narrowing in Knee OA

Feasibility of a Novel Approach to Studying Early Knee Osteoarthritis: An Offspring Study
Background/Purpose: Much of osteoarthritis (OA) research has focused on identifying treatments for late stage disease. However, interventions in early disease may be most effective. Capitalizing…Abstract Number: 2200 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
History of Walking for Exercise Is Not Associated with More Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis: Data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative
Background/Purpose: Walking is recommended for those with knee OA (KOA). However, few studies have explored the association between walking and symptomatic OA, and conflicting data…Abstract Number: 2201 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Baseline Periarticular Tibial Knee Bone Mineral Density Is Associated with Change in Static Alignment
Background/Purpose: Relative local knee periarticular bone mineral density (paBMD) as measured by dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) has been associated with static alignment cross-sectionally, but not…Abstract Number: 2202 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association between Oxidative Balance Score and Osteoarthritis in Korean Adults: The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2014–2015)
Background/Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, caused by a combination of systemic and local factors. Its multi-factorial etiology includes oxidative stress…Abstract Number: 2203 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association of Hip Bone Geometry and Volumetric Density with Hip Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a major public health concern. It is associated with hip pain, functional decline and possibly increased cardiovascular mortality. The determinants…Abstract Number: 2204 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Neuropathic Pain in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis and Related Factors: A Multicenter Longitudinal Study-Preliminary Report
Background/Purpose: Neuropathic pain (NP) was accused for increased pain and reduced functional capacity in knee osteoarthritis (KO). Here we aimed to find out the prevalence…Abstract Number: 2205 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Trajectories of Knee Bone Shape Change Are Associated with Sex and Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is more common in women than men; however, the biological mechanisms for sex difference in knee OA are not well understood.…Abstract Number: 2206 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Healthy Weight Loss Is Associated with Improved Pain and Function over 8 Years in Overweight Subjects with Knee Osteoarthritis: Data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative
Background/Purpose: In clinical trials, weight loss was associated with improvement in knee osteoarthritis (OA) pain and function up to 18 months of follow up. However,…Abstract Number: 2207 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Urine CTX-II, CTX-I, Osteocalcin, and Radiographic Severity of Multiple OA Knee Joints: Does CTX-II Originate from Bone or Cartilage?
Background/Purpose: Excessive cartilage degradation is a known characteristic of osteoarthritis (OA), and several methods of quantification of cartilage degradation exist. Biomarkers such as urinary C-telopeptide…Abstract Number: 2208 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
A Novel Omeract MRI Scoring System Providing Insights in the Association of MRI Synovitis and Bone Marrow Lesions with Pain in Thumb Base Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) in the thumb base joints (first carpometacarpal [CMC1] and scaphotrapeziotrapezoid [STT]) is highly prevalent and disabling, however much is still unknown about…Abstract Number: 2209 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Leptin and Adiponectin Mediate the Association between Body Mass Index and Hand and Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Associations between obesity and osteoarthritis (OA) in non-weight bearing joints suggest that systemic influences also contribute to OA. Systemically active substances secreted by adipose…Abstract Number: 2210 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Thumb Base Osteoarthritis: Associations between Pain and Synovitis on Ultrasound
Background/Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) in the first carpometacarpal (CMC1) joint in the thumb base is frequent and has a large contribution in hand pain and disability.…Abstract Number: 2211 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Investigation of Self-Reported Painful Joint Count As an Outcome Measure in Hand Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Hand osteoarthritis (OA) research is in need of disease-specific validated instruments to measure patient-reported outcomes. Self-reported painful joint count (PJC) could be useful to…
