Abstract

Objective: To assess factors associated with pain and functional level in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Materials and Methods: Patients with knee OA (n=161), with a mean age of 62.4± 8.7 yrs were studied. Age, sex, body mass index (BMI), education level, smoking habit, regular physical activity habit, symptom duration were recorded. KellgrenLawrence scores were calculated in anterio-posterior and lateral knee radiographs. Functional level of patients were assessed by Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and pain severity of the patients were assessed by Visual Analoge Scale (VAS). Results: The BMI was positively correlated with mean scores of WOMAC pain, joint stiffness and daily living activities subscores (r=0.592, r=0.634, and r=0.749, respectively). Education level was inversely correlated with mean scores of WOMAC pain, joint stiffness and daily living activities subscores (r=-0.394, r=-0.345, and r=-0.352, respectively). Kellgren-Lawrence scores of anteriorposterior and lateral view radiographs were found to be correlated with age and symptom duration (r=0,263, p=0,001 and r=0,339, p=0,016, respectively). No relationship was found between pain VAS scores and any assessed factors.When WOMAC subscale scores and VAS scores were compared according to gender, WOMAC pain scores were found higher in females (p=0.024). No correlation was found between remainder factors and scores of the three sections of WOMAC. Conclusion: The BMI is the most important factor associated with functional level and pain severity of patients with KOA. Patients must be encouraged to loose weight in order to decrease symptom and disease severity.

Özet

Amaç: Diz osteoartriti (OA) olan hastalarda ağrı ve fonksiyonel düzeyle ilişkili etkenleri belirlemektir.Yöntem ve Gereçler: Diz OA tanısı alan 161 hasta çalışmaya alındı. Hastaların yaş ortalaması 62.4± 8.7 yıl olup ortalama semptom süresi 43.76± 26.6 aydı. Hastaların yaş, cinsiyet, vücut kütle indeksi, eğitim düzeyi, sigara ve düzenli egzersiz alışkanlığı ve semptom süreleri kaydedildi. Ön-arka ve lateral diz grafilerinde Kellgren-Lawrence skorları hesaplandı. Hastaların fonksiyonel düzeyi Western Ontario ve McMaster Üniversitesi Osteoartrit İndeksi (WOMAC) ile, ağrı şiddeti Görsel Ağrı Skalası (GAS) ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Vücut kütle indeksi ile WOMAC ağrı skoru (r=0.592, p=0.0001), WOMAC eklem sertliği skoru (r=0.634, p=0.0001) ve WOMAC günlük yaşam aktiviteleri skoru (r=0.749, p=0.0001) arasında ilişki saptandı. Eğitim düzeyi ile WOMAC ağrı skoru (r=-0.394, p=0.001), WOMAC eklem sertliği skoru (r=-0.345, p=0.004), ve WOMAC günlük yaşam aktiviteleri skoru (r=-0.352, p=0.003) arasında ters ilişki saptandı. Kellgren-Lawrence skoru (ön-arka ve yan grafi) ile GAS skoru ve her üç WOMAC skoru arasında ilişki saptanmadı (p>0.05). Kellgren-Lawrence ön-arka ve yan grafi skorları yaş ve semptom süresiyle ilişkili bulundu (sırasıyla r=0.263, p=0.001 ve r=0.339, p=0.016). GAS skoru ile herhangi bir parametre arasında ilişki saptanmadı. WOMAC alt grup skorları ve GAS skoru cinsiyete göre karşılaştırıldığında WOMAC ağrı skorunun bayanlarda daha yüksek olduğu saptandı (p= 0.024). Geri kalan faktörlerle WOMAC alt grup skorları arasında korelasyon saptanmadı. Sonuç: Vücut kütle indeksi, diz OA olan hastalarda fonksiyonel düzey ve ağrı şiddetiyle ilişkili en önemli faktördür. Hastalar, semptom ve hastalık şiddetini azaltmak açısından kilo vermeye teşvik edilmelidirler.
