Longitudinal Construct Validity for Four Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Short Forms: Physical Function, Pain Interference, Depression, and Anxiety Among Adults with Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) provides clinicians and researchers access to reliable, valid measures of health status to resolve many challenges associated…Abstract Number: 2350 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Radiographic Outcomes from a Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 1 Study of a Novel, Intra-Articular, Injectable, Wnt Inhibitor (SM04690) in the Treatment of Osteoarthritis of the Knee
Background/Purpose: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by pain, functional impairment, disability, and joint space narrowing due to degradation of articular cartilage and bone remodeling. The…Abstract Number: 2351 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Racial Differences in Magnetic Resonance Image-Based Three-Dimensional Bone Shape of the Knee: Data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI)
Background/Purpose: African Americans have higher prevalence and greater severity of knee osteoarthritis (OA) on radiographs compared with Caucasians. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based quantification of 3-dimensional…Abstract Number: 2352 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Obesity-Related Systemic Inflammation and Knee Synovitis
Background/Purpose: Obesity, a major risk factor for knee osteoarthritis (OA), is a state of systemic inflammation through elaboration of adipokines (pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines) from…Abstract Number: 2353 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Radiographic Variations in Hip Morphology Are Associated with Hip Symptoms: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of a Large Community-Based Cohort
Background/Purpose: Preliminary investigation in this cohort supported an association between hip morphology and symptoms, however, the influence of race, gender, age, BMI and radiographic hip…Abstract Number: 2354 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Pharmaceutical Grade Chondroitin Sulfate Improves Knee Osteoarthritis Symptoms More Than Placebo and As Much As Celecoxib: Results of the Chondroitin Vs Celecoxib Vs Placebo Trial (CONCEPT)
Background/Purpose: For the assessment of Symptomatic Slow Acting Drugs in Osteoarthritis (SYSADOAs), regulatory Agencies request the assessment of two co-primary endpoints: pain and function. They…Abstract Number: 2355 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Histology of Bone Marrow Lesions in Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Literature Review
Background/Purpose: Bone marrow lesions (BMLs) are of high interest in osteoarthritis for their association with pain and structural progression. They are characterized on magnetic resonance…Abstract Number: 2356 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Comparison of Spa Therapy with or without Physical Rehabilitation for Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Controlled Trial
