Abstract

Objective: Osteoarthritis is a disease characterized by joint cartilage damage, changes in surrounding bone structures and joint inflammation.Musculoskeletal ultrasonography is frequently used to evaluate soft tissue and joint in many rheumatologic diseases.We aimed tostudy the relationship between ultrasonographic findings and disease severity and quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Material and Method: The knee joint of the patients included in the study was evaluated by ultrasonography.Womac index and EQ-5D questionnaire were used to evaluate the quality of life of the patients.The relationship between ultrasonography findings and womac and EQ-5D questionnaire was compared. Result: Twenty-four patients were included in the study. 3 patients were male and 21 patients were female.There was no significant difference in synovial hypertrophy, effusion, baker cyst, calcification and womac score, VAS and EQ-5D score.A significant difference was found in the womac sub-parameter, stiffness parameter, in patients with osteophyte (p = 0.046).There was no significant correlation between Womac score and cartilage thickness.There was a negative correlation between womac and EQ-5D score (p = 0.006, r = -545).There was a negative correlation between VAS score and cartilage thickness (p = 0.017, r = -483). Conclusion: In our study, no relation was found between USG findings and clinical complaints and quality of life. This may be related to the low number of patients. However, musculoskeletal ultrasonography is one of the most effective and inexpensive methods to show structural pathologies in the joint. The use of ultrasonography will continue to detect structural problems associated with osteoarthritis.

Özet

Giriş: Osteoartrit eklem kıkırdak hasarı, çevre kemik yapılarda değişiklikler ve eklem inflamasyonu ile karakterize bir hastalıktır. Birçok romatolojik hastalıkta, kas iskelet sistemi ultrasonografisi yumuşak doku ve eklemi değerlendirmek için sıklıkla kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, diz osteoartrit hastalarında ultrasonografi bulgularının hastalık şiddeti ve hayat kalitesi ile olan ilişkisi araştırılması amaçlamıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya dahil edilen hastaların diz eklemi, ultrasonografi ile değerlendirildi. Hastaların yaşam kalitesini değerlendirmek amacıyla womac indeksi ve EQ-5D anketi kullanıldı. Ultrasonografi bulgularının, womac ve EQ-5D anketi ile olan ilişkisi karşılaştırılmıştır. Bulgular:24 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. 3 hasta erkek, 21 hasta kadındı. Sinovyal hipertrofi, efüzyon, baker kisti ve kalsifikasyon bulguları değerlendirildi. Bu bulgulara sahip olanların womac skoru, VAS ve EQ-5D skorunda anlamlı bir fark saptanmadı. Osteofit saptanan hastalarda, womac alt parametresi olan sertlik parametresinde anlamlı farklılık saptandı (p=0.046). Womac skoru ile kıkırdak kalınlığı arasında anlamlı bir korelasyon saptanmadı. Womac ve EQ-5D skoru arasında negatif korelasyon saptandı (p=0.006, r= -545). VAS skoru ile kıkırdak kalınlığı arasında negatif korelasyon saptandı (p=0.017, r= -483). Sonuç: Çalışmamızda USG bulguları ile klinik şikâyet ve yaşam kalitesi arasında ilişki saptanamamıştır. Bu durum hasta sayısının az olması ilişkili olabilir. Bununla birlikte, kas iskelet ultrasonografisi, eklemde yapısal patolojileri göstermede etkili ve ucuz yöntemlerden birisidir. Osteoartrite bağlı yapısal sorunları tespit etmek için ultrasonografinin kullanımı devam edecektir.
