Abstract
Objective Osteoarthritis (OA) care should be more person-centered based on physical, emotional and social aspects, instead of the current stepped-care approach solely based on physical symptoms, according to OA patients. By developing a novel module for OA in the Assessment of Burden of Chronic Condition (ABCC)-tool, a tool based on these three aspects, experienced quality of OA care and shared-decision making are expected to improve. Design The development of the novel OA module involved a triangular iterative process, interviewing OA patients and healthcare professionals in the field of OA, an expert panel and a literature search to identify the needs to improve OA care. Patients provided feedback on the first version of the OA module, leading to a second version. This second version was used to evaluate content validity. OA patients and healthcare professionals in the field of OA were asked to evaluate relevance, comprehensiveness and comprehensibility, based on the COSMIN methodology. For healthcare professionals, the item-content validity index (I-CVI) was calculated. Results The module includes questions about pain, kinesiophobia and joint stiffness. For all three questions, 94% of the patients found these questions important for patients with OA. The I-CVI scores of the healthcare professionals ranged from 1.0 (pain, kinesiophobia) to 0.75 (joint stiffness). Conclusion A novel, condition-specific OA module is developed for the ABCC-tool, as a supplement to the generic questions. The module includes three questions, to measure OA specific complaints. This novel module is intended to make the ABCC-tool more elaborate and useable for a larger population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess how changes in depressive symptoms influence physical function over time among those with radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS Participants from the Osteoarthritis Initiative with radiographic knee OA (n = 2,212) and complete data were identified at baseline. Depressive symptoms were assessed as a time-varying score at baseline and the first three annual follow-up visits using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) Scale. Physical function was measured at the first four follow-up visits using 20-meter gait speed meters per second. The following two marginal structural models were fit: one assessing the main effect of depressive symptoms on gait speed and another assessing time-specific associations. RESULTS Time-adjusted results indicated that higher CES-D scores were significantly associated with slower gait speed (-0.0048; 95% confidence interval -0.0082 to -0.0014), and time-specific associations of CES-D were largest during the first follow-up interval (-0.0082; 95% confidence interval -0.0128 to -0.0035). During subsequent follow-up time points, the influence of depressive symptoms on gait speed diminished. CONCLUSION The negative effect of depressive symptoms on physical function may decrease over time as knee OA progresses.

Abstract
The increased incidence of osteoarthritis (OA), particularly knee and hip OA, and osteoporosis (OP), owing to population aging, have escalated the medical expense burden. Osteoarthritis is more prevalent in older women, and the involvement of subchondral bone fragility spotlights its association with OP. Notably, subchondral insufficiency fracture (SIF) may represent a more pronounced condition of OA pathophysiology. This review summarizes the relationship between OA and OP, incorporating recent insights into SIF. Progressive SIF leads to joint collapse and secondary OA and is associated with OP. Furthermore, the thinning and fragility of subchondral bone in early-stage OA suggest that SIF may be a subtype of OA (osteoporosis-related OA, OPOA) characterized by significant subchondral bone damage. The high bone mineral density observed in OA may be overestimated due to osteophytes and sclerosis and can potentially contribute to OPOA. The incidence of OPOA is expected to increase along with population aging. Therefore, prioritizing OP screening, early interventions for patients with early-stage OA, and fracture prevention measures such as rehabilitation, fracture liaison services, nutritional management, and medication guidance are essential.

Abstract
Background Mental health has been found to be associated with risk of osteoarthritis (OA), but the causal relationship was not fully clarified. Methods Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study was conducted to investigate the causal relationship between neuroticism (n = 329,821) and the two most frequently affected parts of osteoarthritis (OA) (knee OA: case/control =24,955/378,169; hip OA: case/control = 15,704/378,169) using large scale summary genome-wide association study (GWAS) data. Inverse variance weighted (IVW), weighted median, and MR-Egger were used to estimate the causal effects. Multiple sensitivity analyses were conducted to examine the robustness of the causal estimates. Multivariable MR analysis was used to estimate the direct effects of neuroticism on OA after accounting for the other OA risk factors. Two-step MR approach was employed to explore the potential mediators of the causal relationship. Results Univariable MR analysis indicated that 1-SD increase in genetically predicted neuroticism score was associated with an increased risk of knee OA (IVW: OR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.087-1.26; p = 2.72E-05) but not with hip OA. The causal effects remained significant after accounting for the effects of BMI, alcohol drinking, and vigorous physical activity but were attenuated with adjustment of smoking. Further mediation analysis revealed that smoking initiation mediated a significant proportion of the causal effects of neuroticism on knee OA (proportion of mediation effects in total effects: 22.3%; 95% CI, 5.9%-38.6%; p = 7.60E-03). Conclusions Neuroticism has significant causal effects on knee OA risk. Smoking might partly mediate the causal relationship. Further studies were warranted to explore the underlying mechanisms and potential use of neuroticism management for OA treatment.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease in the US and can increase the risk of depression. Both depression and OA disproportionately affect women, yet this study is one of few on depression prevalence, treatment across age groups, and predictors in women with OA. Data were extracted from the 2011-March 2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Women aged ≥ 45 years with self-reported osteo- or degenerative arthritis were included. Outcomes were depression (assessed with PHQ-9) and treatment (self-reported pharmacotherapy and mental health services). Logistic regression was used to examine associations between age group, covariates, and outcomes. Overall, depression prevalence was 8%, with higher proportions among those 45-64 years old. Aging was associated with reduced odds of depression (Age 65-79: OR 0.68 (95% CI: 0.52-0.89); Age 80+: OR 0.49 (95% CI: 0.33-0.74); vs. Age 45-54). Of those with a positive depression screen, 21.6% documented some form of treatment. Age group was not statistically different between those treated and those not treated. Women aged 45-64 with osteoarthritis may be at increased risk of depression, and most are not treated. As depression is related to increased pain and risk of rehospitalization, future research should prioritize interventions to increase uptake of depression treatment.

Abstract
Pain is a major symptom of arthritis in older adults, often leading to frailty and cognitive decline. However, few studies have investigated the relationship among pain, frailty, and cognitive function in older adults with arthritis. This study aimed to investigate the factors influencing cognitive function and the impact of frailty severity and pain on cognitive function in older adults with arthritis using a Korean population-based dataset. This cross-sectional descriptive study involved the secondary data of 1089 participants from the seventh and eighth waves of the Korean Longitudinal Study on Aging. We examined general characteristics, health behaviors, health conditions (including severe pain and frailty), and cognitive function. Participants were categorized based on the presence or absence of pain severity and frailty status as follows: robust, only severe pain, only prefrail, prefrail with severe pain, only frail, and frail with severe pain. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to establish correlations between groups and cognitive function. The only-prefrail group was the largest (19.7%) among participants experiencing either pain or frailty. Advanced age, sex, level of education, and visual and hearing impairments were significantly associated with cognitive function. Compared to the robust group, only prefrail (β = -1.54, confidence interval [CI] = - 2.33; - 0.76), prefrail with severe pain (β = - 2.69, CI = - 3.52; - 1.87), only frail (β = - 4.02, CI = - 5.08; - 2.97), and frail with severe pain (β = - 5.03, CI = - 5.99; - 4.08) groups were associated with lower Mini-Mental State Examination scores. The study confirmed that severe pain alone does not significantly impact cognitive function in older adults with arthritis. To prevent cognitive decline in this group, assessment of both pain and frailty severity is essential to predict high-risk groups and provide appropriate interventions, such as transfer to hospitals or primary clinics according to the severity of pain and frailty.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the causal association between Osteoarthritis (OA) and five comorbidities: depression, tiredness, multisite chronic pain, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and gout. Design This study used two-sample Mendelian Randomisation (MR). To select the OA genetic instruments, we used data from the largest recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) of OA (GO Consortium), with a focus on OA of the knee (62,497 cases, 333,557 controls), hip (35,445 cases, 316,943 controls) and hand (20,901 cases, 282,881 controls). Genetic associations for comorbidities were selected from GWAS for depression (246,363 cases, 561,190 controls), tiredness (449,019 participants), multisite chronic pain (387,649 participants), IBS (53,400 cases, 433,201 controls) and gout (6543 cases, 456,390 controls). We performed a bidirectional MR analysis using the inverse variance weighted method, for both joint specific and overall OA. Results Hip OA had a causal effect on multisite chronic pain (per unit change 0.02, 95% CI 0.01 to 0.04). Multisite chronic pain had a causal effect on knee (odd ratio (OR) 2.74, 95% CI 2.20 to 3.41), hip (OR 2.12, 95% CI 1.54 to 2.92), hand (OR 2.24, 95% CI 1.59 to 3.16) and overall OA (OR 2.44, 95% CI, 2.06 to 2.86). In addition, depression and tiredness had causal effects on knee and hand, but not hip, OA. Conclusions Apart from Hip OA to multisite chronic pain, other joint OA did not have causal effects on these comorbidities. In contrast, multisite chronic pain had a causal effect on any painful OA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic diseases often accumulate with musculoskeletal (MSK) pain. However, less evidence is available on idiosyncratic patterns of chronic diseases and their relationships with the severity of MSK pain in general MSK pain populations. MATERIAL AND METHODS Questionnaire-based data on physician-diagnosed chronic diseases, MSK pain and its dimensions (frequency, intensity, bothersomeness, and the number of pain sites), and confounders were collected from the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 at the age of 46. Latent Class Analysis (LCA) was used to identify chronic disease clusters among individuals who reported any MSK pain within the previous year (n = 6105). The associations between chronic disease clusters, pain dimensions, and severe MSK pain, which was defined as prolonged (over 30 d within the preceding year), bothersome (Numerical Rating Scale >5), and multisite (two or more pain sites) pain, were analyzed using logistic regression and general linear regression models, adjusted for sex and educational level (n for the full sample = 4768). RESULTS LCA resulted in three clusters: Metabolic (10.8% of the full sample), Psychiatric (2.9%), and Relatively Healthy (86.3%). Compared to the Relatively Healthy cluster, the Metabolic and Psychiatric clusters had higher odds for daily pain and higher mean pain intensity, bothersomeness, and the number of pain sites. Similarly, the odds for severe MSK pain were up to 75% (95% confidence interval: 44%-113%) and 155% (81%-259%) higher in the Metabolic and Psychiatric clusters, respectively, after adjustments for sex and educational level. CONCLUSIONS Distinct patterns of chronic disease accumulation can be identified in the general MSK pain population. It seems that mental and metabolic health are at interplay with severe MSK pain. These findings suggest a potential need to screen for psychiatric and metabolic entities of health when treating working-aged people with MSK pain.Key messagesThis large study on middle-aged people with musculoskeletal pain aimed to examine the idiosyncratic patterns of chronic diseases and their relationships with the severity of musculoskeletal pain. Latent class cluster analysis identified three chronic disease clusters: Psychiatric, Metabolic, and Relatively Healthy. People with accumulated mental (Psychiatric cluster) or metabolic diseases (Metabolic cluster) experienced more severe pain than people who were relatively healthy (Relatively Healthy cluster). These findings suggest a potential need to screen for psychiatric and metabolic entities of health when treating working-aged people with MSK pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To explore the mediator role of depression in the association of osteoarthritis (OA) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database. METHODS Totally 19,605 adults from NHANES 2009-2018 were included in this cohort study ultimately. The outcome was considered as the CVD related mortality in this study. The follow-up duration was 81.09 ± 1.05 months. Weighted univariate and multivariate linear regressions were used to explore the association between OA and depression. Weighted univariate and multivariate COX regressions were performed to assess the relationship of OA and CVD related mortality. Also, we analyzed the mediating role of depression on the association between OA and CVD mortality through the Sobel Test. RESULTS The CVD related mortality in this study was 2.57 %. After adjusting age, gender, physical activity, history of CVD, history of hypertension and eGFR, OA was positively correlated with depression [β = 0.78, 95 % confidence interval (CI) = 0.54-1.02], and OA was associated the death risk of CVD [hazard ratio (HR): 1.35, 95%CI, 1.09-1.68]. Additionally, depression slightly mediated the association between OA and CVD related mortality in this study, with this mediating variable accounting for 5.61 % of the association. CONCLUSION OA was associated with depression and CVD related mortality, respectively. Additionally, the increased risk of CVD related mortality in OA patients may be slightly mediated by depression. These results serve as a reminder that giving careful attention to and effectively managing mental health may be beneficial to prevent CVD related mortality, especially for those with OA.

[PMID: 37836475 PMCID: PMC10574084 DOI: 10.3390/nu15194191] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2023] [Revised: 09/08/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Many studies have attempted to utilize metabolomic approaches to explore potential biomarkers for the early detection of osteoarthritis (OA), but consistent and high-level evidence is still lacking. In this study, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of differential small molecule metabolites between OA patients and healthy individuals to screen promising candidates from a large number of samples with the aim of informing future prospective studies. (2) Methods: We searched the EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, Wan Fang Data, VIP Date, and CNKI up to 11 August 2022, and selected relevant records based on inclusion criteria. The risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa quality assessment scale. We performed qualitative synthesis by counting the frequencies of changing directions and conducted meta-analyses using the random effects model and the fixed-effects model to calculate the mean difference and 95% confidence interval. (3) Results: A total of 3798 records were identified and 13 studies with 495 participants were included. In the 13 studies, 132 kinds of small molecule differential metabolites were extracted, 58 increased, 57 decreased and 17 had direction conflicts. Among them, 37 metabolites appeared more than twice. The results of meta-analyses among four studies showed that three metabolites increased, and eight metabolites decreased compared to healthy controls (HC). (4) Conclusions: The main differential metabolites between OA and healthy subjects were amino acids (AAs) and their derivatives, including tryptophan, lysine, leucine, proline, phenylalanine, glutamine, dimethylglycine, citrulline, asparagine, acetylcarnitine and creatinine (muscle metabolic products), which could be potential biomarkers for predicting OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) represents the foremost degenerative joint disease observed in a clinical context. The escalating issue of population aging significantly exacerbates the prevalence of OA, thereby imposing an immense annual economic burden on societies worldwide. The current therapeutic landscape falls short in offering reliable pharmaceutical interventions and efficient treatment methodologies to tackle this growing problem. However, the scientific community continues to dedicate significant efforts towards advancing OA treatment research. Contemporary studies have discovered that the progression of OA may be slowed through the strategic influence on peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs). PPARs are ligand-activated receptors within the nuclear hormone receptor family. The three distinctive subtypes-PPARα, PPARβ/δ, and PPARγ-find expression across a broad range of cellular terminals, thus managing a multitude of intracellular metabolic operations. The activation of PPARγ and PPARα has been shown to efficaciously modulate the NF-κB signaling pathway, AP-1, and other oxidative stress-responsive signaling conduits, leading to the inhibition of inflammatory responses. Furthermore, the activation of PPARγ and PPARα may confer protection to chondrocytes by exerting control over its autophagic behavior. In summation, both PPARγ and PPARα have emerged as promising potential targets for the development of effective OA treatments.

Electroacupuncture attenuates chronic inflammatory pain and depression comorbidity by inhibiting hippocampal neuronal apoptosis via the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Neurosci Lett 2023; 812:137411. [PMID: 37516346 DOI: 10.1016/j.neulet.2023.137411] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2023] [Revised: 07/22/2023] [Accepted: 07/24/2023] [Indexed: 07/31/2023]
Abstract
In chronic inflammatory pain (CIP) and depression, neuroapoptosis has been identified as a contributing factor. Electroacupuncture (EA) shows promise as an alternative therapy for this comorbidity. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of EA on hippocampal neuronal apoptosis in rats with CIP and depression. Rats received plantar injections of complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) on days 0 and 14. They were then divided into groups: sham operation, model, EA, and duloxetine. EA was administered at Hegu (LI4) and Taichong (LR3) from days 15 to 28, while the duloxetine group received duloxetine and distilled water daily (0.1 mg/ml). Pain behavior was assessed using the mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal withdrawal latency (TWL) tests. Depression-like behavior was evaluated through the sucrose preference test (SPT), open-field test (OFT), and forced swim test (FST). Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining was employed to assess pathological changes in the hippocampus. Nerve cell apoptosis was determined using TUNEL fluorescence staining. Western blot analysis was conducted to measure the protein expression of Bcl-2, Bax, p-PI3K/PI3K, and p-Akt/Akt. EA demonstrated significant pain intensity reduction and alleviation of pain-related depressive symptoms. Our findings from the HE staining confirmed that CIP induced by CFA led to morphological changes in the hippocampus, while EA effectively reversed these pathological alterations. Moreover, EA intervention remarkably reduced neuronal apoptosis and exhibited an upregulation of Bcl-2 protein expression accompanied by a decrease in Bax expression. Additionally, EA activated the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Overall, our study suggests that EA holds the potential to improve pain and depressive behaviors in rats with CIP and depression comorbidity, potentially mediated through the activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway, leading to a reduction in hippocampal neuronal apoptosis.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a widespread chronic joint disease characterized by functional limitations and pain. Functioning restrictions exert a detrimental impact on societal integration, relationships, and psychological well-being, resulting in significant emotional distress in KOA patients. The objective of this study is to examine how various risk factors impact the emotional well-being of individuals with KOA. Materials and Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study involved 154 postmenopausal women treated at the Special Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases in Novi Sad, Serbia. The experimental group comprised 97 individuals with chronic knee pain and structural knee damage (Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) scale II-IV), while the control group had 53 individuals with chronic knee pain but no structural knee damage (KL scale 0-I). The collected data consisted of sociodemographic factors, general characteristics, associated diseases, and laboratory results. Adequate anthropometric measurements were conducted, and all subjects were required to complete the SF-36 RAND questionnaire. Results: The analysis identified several variables that independently influenced emotional well-being. These included pain intensity (beta (β) 0.21; 95% CI: 0.03-0.20; p < 0.01), social functioning (beta (β) 0.47; 95% CI: 0.23-0.43; p < 0.001), physical functioning (beta (β) 0.23; 95% CI: 0.04-0.21; p < 0.01), and education level (8-12 years: beta (β) 0.25; 95% CI: 1.47-9.41; p < 0.01; >12 years: beta (β) 0.27; 95% CI: 2.51-12.67; p < 0.01). However, the multivariate model revealed that only social functioning (beta (β) 0.57; 95% CI: 0.27-0.53; p < 0.001) and education level (8-12 years: beta (β) 0.21; 95% CI: 1.10-8.260; p < 0.05; >12 years: beta (β) 0.21; 95% CI: 1.18-10.30; p < 0.05) were significantly associated with emotional well-being in KOA patients. Conclusions: The findings of this study indicate that a reduced social functioning and a lower educational attainment are linked to a poorer emotional well-being among patients with KOA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, which is a leading cause of disability. Although no cure exists for knee OA, physical activity has been shown to improve functionality, which can improve an individual's health-related quality of life (HR-QOL). However, racial disparities exist in participating in physical activity, which can result in Black people with knee OA experiencing lower HR-QOL compared with their White counterparts. The purpose of this study was to investigate disparities of physical activity and related determinants, specifically pain and depression, and how these constructs explain why Black people with knee OA experience low HR-QOL. METHODS Data were from the Osteoarthritis Initiative, a multicenter longitudinal study that collected data from people with knee OA. The study used a serial mediation model to test whether a change in scores for pain, depression, and physical activity over 96 months mediated the effects between race and HR-QOL. RESULTS Analysis of variance models found Black race to be associated with high pain, depression, and lower physical activity and HR-QOL at baseline and month 96. The findings supported the prospective multi-mediation model, which found pain, depression, and physical activity to mediate between race and HR-QOL (β = -0.11, SE = 0.047; 95% CI, -0.203 to -0.016). CONCLUSION Disparities in pain, depression, and physical activity could explain why Black people with knee OA experience lower HR-QOL compared with their White counterparts. Future interventions should address sources of pain and depression disparities by improving health care delivery. Additionally, designing race- and culture-appropriate community physical activity programs would help to achieve physical activity equity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Comorbidities are common in patients with osteoarthritis (OA). This study aimed to determine the association of a wide range of previously diagnosed comorbidities in adults with newly diagnosed OA compared with matched controls without OA. METHODS A case-control study was conducted. The data were derived from an electronic health record database that contains the medical records of patients from general practices throughout the Netherlands. Incident OA cases were defined as patients with one or more diagnostic codes recorded in their medical records that correspond to knee, hip, or other/peripheral OA. Additionally, the first OA code had to be recorded between January 1, 2006, and December 31, 2019. The date of cases' first OA diagnosis was defined as the index date. Cases were matched (by age, sex, and general practice) to up to 4 controls without a recorded OA diagnosis. Odds ratios were derived for each 58 comorbidities separately by dividing the comorbidity prevalence of cases by that of their matched controls at the index date. RESULTS 80,099 incident OA patients were identified of whom 79,937 (99.8%) were successfully matched with 318,206 controls. OA cases had higher odds for 42 of the 58 studied comorbidities compared with matched controls. Musculoskeletal diseases and obesity showed large associations with incident OA. CONCLUSIONS Most of the comorbidities under study had higher odds in patients with incident OA at the index date. While previously known associations were confirmed in this study, some associations were not described earlier.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Musculoskeletal pain (MSP) is the largest contributor to chronic pain and frequently occurs alongside other medical comorbidities. OBJECTIVE Explore the relationships between the presence of pain-related comorbidities, pain intensity, and pain-related psychological distress in patients with MSP. METHODS A longitudinal assessment of individuals 18-90 years old in the Midwestern United States beginning a new episode of physical therapy for MSP. Electronic medical records were assessed the full year prior for care-seeking of diagnoses for pain-related comorbidities (anxiety, metabolic disorder, chronic pain, depression, nicotine dependence, post-traumatic stress disorder, sleep apnea, and sleep insomnia). Pain intensity and pain-related psychological distress (Optimal Screening for Prediction of Referral and Outcome - Yellow Flags tool) were captured during the physical therapy evaluation. Generalized linear models were used to assess the association between pain intensity, psychological distress, and pain-related co-morbidities. Models were adjusted for variables shown in the literature to influence pain. RESULTS 532 participants were included in the cohort (56.4% female; median age of 59 years, Interquartile Range [IQR]:47, 69). Comorbid depression (beta coefficient (β) = 0.7; 95%CI: 0.2, 1.2), spine versus lower extremity pain ((β = 0.6; 95%CI: 0.1, 1.1), and prior surgery (β = 0.8, 95%CI: 0.3, 1.4) were associated with higher pain intensity scores. No pain-related comorbidities were associated with pain-related psychological distress (yellow flag count or number of domains). Female sex was associated with less pain-related psychological distress (β = -0.2, 95%CI: -0.3, -0.02). CONCLUSIONS Depression was associated with greater pain intensity. No comorbidities were able to account for the extent of pain-related psychological distress.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the risk of comorbidity following diagnosis of knee or hip osteoarthritis (OA). DESIGN A cohort study was conducted using the Integrated Primary Care Information database, containing electronic health records of 2.5 million patients from the Netherlands. Adults at risk for OA were included. Diagnosis of knee or hip OA (=exposure) and 58 long-term comorbidities (=outcome) were defined by diagnostic codes following the International Classification of Primary Care coding system. Time between the start of follow-up and incident diagnosis of OA was defined as unexposed, and between diagnosis of OA and the end of follow-up as exposed. Age and sex adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) comparing comorbidity rates in exposed and unexposed patient time were estimated with 99.9% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS The study population consisted of 1,890,712 patients. For 30 of the 58 studied comorbidities, exposure to knee OA showed a HR larger than 1. Largest positive associations (HR with (99.9% CIs)) were found for obesity 2.55 (2.29-2.84) and fibromyalgia 2.06 (1.53-2.77). For two conditions a HR < 1 was found, other comorbidities showed no association with exposure to knee OA. For 26 comorbidities, exposure to hip OA showed a HR larger than 1. The largest were found for polymyalgia rheumatica 1.81 (1.41-2.32) and fibromyalgia 1.70 (1.10-2.63). All other comorbidities showed no associations with hip OA. CONCLUSION This study showed that many comorbidities were diagnosed more often in patients with knee or hip OA. This suggests that the management of OA should consider the risk of other long-term-conditions.

Uritani D, Koda H, Yasuura Y, Kusumoto A. Factors associated with subjective knee joint stiffness in people with knee osteoarthritis: A systematic review. Int J Rheum Dis 2023; 26:425-436. [PMID: 36572505 DOI: 10.1111/1756-185x.14536] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2022] [Revised: 11/15/2022] [Accepted: 12/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Subjective knee stiffness is a common symptom in patients with knee osteoarthritis treated conservatively. However, the influencing factors or effects of knee joint stiffness are unknown. The aim of this study was to explore the factors associated with subjective knee stiffness in patients with knee osteoarthritis. METHODS The MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, EMBASE, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Web of Science, and PEDro databases were searched in November 2021. Prospective or retrospective cohort studies were included. The methodological quality of the selected articles was assessed using the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network checklist. RESULTS Twenty out of 1943 screened articles were included in this systematic review. Eighteen and two studies were rated as having acceptable and low quality, respectively. All the included studies measured subjective knee stiffness using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index. The main findings were that worse preoperative subjective knee stiffness was associated with worse pain, subjective knee stiffness, and patient satisfaction at 1 year after total knee arthroplasty. In addition, worse subjective knee stiffness was associated with future degenerative changes in the knee joint, such as joint space narrowing and osteophyte growth progression. CONCLUSION Subjective knee stiffness may be associated with the prognosis after total knee arthroplasty and degenerative changes in the knee joint. Early detection and treatment of knee stiffness could lead to a good prognosis after total knee arthroplasty and prevent the progression of degenerative changes in the knee joint.

Improving diagnosis and treatment of knee osteoarthritis in persons with type 2 diabetes: development of a complex intervention. Implement Sci Commun 2023; 4:20. [PMID: 36855209 PMCID: PMC9972628 DOI: 10.1186/s43058-023-00398-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 02/09/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA) commonly co-occurs in people with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and increases the risk for diabetes complications, yet uptake of evidence-based treatment is low. We combined theory, stakeholder involvement and existing evidence to develop a multifaceted intervention to improve OA care in persons with T2DM. This was done in partnership with Arthritis Society Canada to leverage the existing infrastructure and provincial funding for community arthritis care. METHODS Each step was informed by a User Advisory Panel of stakeholder representatives, including persons with lived experience. First, we identified the target groups and behaviours through consulting stakeholders and current literature. Second, we interviewed persons living with T2DM and knee OA (n = 18), health professionals (HPs) who treat people with T2DM (n = 18) and arthritis therapists (ATs, n = 18) to identify the determinants of seeking and engaging in OA care (patients), assessing and treating OA (HPs) and considering T2DM in OA treatment (ATs), using the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF). We mapped the content to behavioural change techniques (BCTs) to identify the potential intervention components. Third, we conducted stakeholder meetings to ascertain the acceptability and feasibility of intervention components, including content and modes of delivery. Fourth, we selected intervention components informed by prior steps and constructed a programme theory to inform the implementation of the intervention and its evaluation. RESULTS We identified the barriers and enablers to target behaviours across a number of TDF domains. All stakeholders identified insufficient access to resources to support OA care in people with T2DM. Core intervention components, incorporating a range of BCTs at the patient, HP and AT level, sought to identify persons with knee OA within T2DM care and refer to Arthritis Society Canada for delivery of evidence-based longitudinal OA management. Diverse stakeholder input throughout development allowed the co-creation of an intervention that appears feasible and acceptable to target users. CONCLUSIONS We integrated theory, evidence and stakeholder involvement to develop a multifaceted intervention to increase the identification of knee OA in persons with T2DM within diabetes care and improve the uptake and engagement in evidence-based OA management. Our partnership with Arthritis Society Canada supports future spread, scalability and sustainability. We will formally assess the intervention feasibility in a randomized pilot trial.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic, progressive, severely debilitating, and multifactorial joint disease that is recognized as the most common type of arthritis. During the last decade, it shows an incremental global rise in prevalence and incidence. The interaction between etiologic factors that mediate joint degradation has been explored in numerous studies. However, the underlying processes that induce OA remain obscure, largely due to the variety and complexity of these mechanisms. During synovial joint dysfunction, the osteochondral unit undergoes cellular phenotypic and functional alterations. At the cellular level, the synovial membrane is influenced by cartilage and subchondral bone cleavage fragments and extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation products from apoptotic and necrotic cells. These "foreign bodies" serve as danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) that trigger innate immunity, eliciting and sustaining low-grade inflammation in the synovium. In this review, we explore the cellular and molecular communication networks established between the major joint compartments-the synovial membrane, cartilage, and subchondral bone of normal and OA-affected joints.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Disease burden in patients prior to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) varies widely between studies and countries. We aimed to characterize individuals undergoing TKA and examine their expectations from the surgery, focusing on variations in disease burden. METHODS Consecutive patients undergoing primary TKA in a German university hospital were recruited. A questionnaire including information on disease burden, preoperative expectations from surgery, health care utilization, demography, and socioeconomics was collected one day prior to surgery and linked to data from medical records. Patients were categorized into disease burden quartiles using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index' (WOMAC) total score. Subsequently, study population's characteristics and expectations from surgery were analyzed stratified by disease burden. RESULTS A total of 196 patients were included (41 % male; mean age: 68.2 years). The median WOMAC was 52.0 (IQR: 41.0-58.0). Patients in Q1 were more often males (Q1: 63 % vs Q4: 29 %) and had a shorter duration of complaints with the impaired knee. They were also less restricted in social participation, reported less often signs of depression, and were less often treated with physiotherapy (Q1: 27 % vs Q4: 54 %). Furthermore, expectations from surgery were highest in patients with a low disease burden. CONCLUSION We found large variations in disease burden with a considerable number of patients undergoing TKA whose functional capacity is still maintained and for which guideline-recommended conservative treatment options are not fully exhausted. Further research on this subgroup as well as establishing an international consensus on specific thresholds for TKA indication are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of global disability. The understanding of the role of psychosocial factors in knee OA outcomes is still evolving particularly in an Asian context. The primary aim of this study is to explore psychosocial factors that prognosticate short and long-term clinical outcomes, productivity, and healthcare utilization in patients with knee OA. Secondary aims are to explore the mediation and directional relationships and the role it plays in predicting the discordance between self-reported measures (SRM), physical-performance measures (PPMs) and objective clinical parameters. METHODS A multi-centre prospective cohort study of community ambulant knee OA patients seeking treatment in the tertiary healthcare institutions in Singapore will be conducted. Patients with secondary arthritis, significant cognitive impairment, severe medical comorbidities or previous knee arthroplasty will be excluded. Primary clinical outcome measure is the Knee injury and OA Outcome Score-12 (KOOS-12). Baseline characteristics include sociodemographic status, arthritis status including symptom duration and radiographic severity, comorbidities and functional status through Charlson Comorbidities Index (CCI), Barthel Index (BI) and Parker Mobility Score (PMS). Psychosocial variables include social support, kinesiophobia, negative affect, self-efficacy, injustice, chronic illness shame and the built environment. Clinical outcomes include quality of life, physical performance, global assessment, satisfaction and physical activity levels. Productivity and healthcare utilization will be assessed by a modified OA Cost and Consequences Questionnaire (OCC-Q) and the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire (WPAI). Variables will be collected at baseline, 4, 12 months and yearly thereafter. Regression, mediation and structural equation modelling will be used for analysis. DISCUSSION Results will allow contextualization, identification, and phenotyping of the critical (and potentially modifiable) psychosocial parameters that predict positive clinical outcomes in the OA population to guide optimization and refinement of healthcare and community. This will facilitate: 1. identification of high-risk knee OA subpopulations that will likely experience poor outcomes and 2. formulation of targeted multidisciplinary comprehensive approaches to address these psychosocial factors to optimize non-surgical treatment care, maximize functional outcomes and create more value-based care model for knee OA. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study has been registered under clinicaltrials.gov registry (Identifier: NCT04942236).

Relationships among Depressive Symptoms, Body Weight, and Chronic Pain: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of the Shika Study. Behav Sci (Basel) 2023; 13:bs13020086. [PMID: 36829315 PMCID: PMC9951907 DOI: 10.3390/bs13020086] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2022] [Revised: 01/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Although depression and body weight have individually been associated with chronic pain (CP), it currently remains unclear whether the combination of depressive symptoms (DS) and being underweight/overweight is related to CP. Therefore, we herein investigated the relationships among depression, body mass index (BMI), and CP in community-dwelling middle-aged and elderly individuals. Participants comprised 2216 inhabitants of Shika town in Ishikawa prefecture, Japan, including 1003 males (mean age of 68.72 years, standard deviation (SD) of 8.36) and 1213 females (mean age of 69.65 years, SD of 9.36). CP and DS were assessed using a CP questionnaire and Geriatric Depression Scale-15, respectively. The Breslow-Day test indicated that DS positively correlated with lumbar/knee pain in the BMI < 25 group, but not in the BMI ≥ 25 group. Furthermore, lumber/knee pain was related to a higher BMI. These results were confirmed by a logistic analysis with age, sex, BMI, solitary living, the duration of education, no exercise/hobbies, smoking history, alcohol intake, and medical treatment for diabetes, hyperlipidemia, or hypertension as confounding factors. The present study indicates the importance of considering DS and BMI in the prevention of CP. Further studies are needed to clarify the causal relationships among depression, BMI, and CP.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common and prevalent degenerative joint disease characterized by degradation of the articular cartilage. However, none of disease-modifying OA drugs is approved currently. Teriparatide (PTH (1-34)) might stimulate chondrocyte proliferation and cartilage regeneration via some uncertain mechanisms. Relevant therapies of PTH (1-34) on OA with such effects have recently gained increasing interest, but have not become widespread practice. Thus, we launch this systematic review (SR) to update the latest evidence accordingly. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library, and Embase from their inception to February 2022. Studies investigating the effects of the PTH (1-34) on OA were obtained. The quality assessment and descriptive summary were made of all included studies. Overall, 307 records were identified, and 33 studies were included. In vivo studies (n = 22) concluded that PTH (1-34) slowed progression of OA by alleviating cartilage degeneration and aberrant remodeling of subchondral bone (SCB). Moreover, PTH (1-34) exhibited repair of cartilage and SCB, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory effects. In vitro studies (n = 11) concluded that PTH (1-34) was important for chondrocytes via increasing the proliferation and matrix synthesis but preventing apoptosis or hypertrophy. All included studies were assessed with low or unclear risk of bias in methodological quality. The SR demonstrated that PTH (1-34) could alleviate the progression of OA. Moreover, PTH (1-34) had beneficial effects on osteoporotic OA (OPOA) models, which might be a therapeutic option for OA and OPOA treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To quantify the burden of osteoarthritis (OA) associated with high body mass index (BMI) across 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2019. METHODS This study extracted global, regional, and national data on years lived with disability (YLD) of OA associated with high BMI from GBD 2019. The YLD burden of OA associated with high BMI was systematically analyzed by age, SDI, sex, and EAPC. RESULTS At the global level, ~2.67 million (95% UI: 1.04, 5.75) YLD were attributable to OA associated with high BMI, with an age-standardized rate of 31.9 (95% UI: 12.4, 68.75) YLD per 100,000 population in 2019. There was a 0.5 increase (95% UI: 0.35, 0.79) over the 30 years with an EAPC of 1.45. In 2019, Australasia {57.49 (95% UI: 23.62, 125.38)}, high-income North America {56.2 (95% UI: 23.32, 121.97)}, and Andean Latin America {49.77 (95% UI: 19.73, 111.73)} had the highest age-standardized YLD rates. The population aged at 60-74 group had a higher YLD rate for both males and females. Females tended to be more sensitive to the OA associated with high BMI than male in any region. CONCLUSIONS In summary, the YLD rate of OA associated with high BMI presented a continuous upward trend in most countries. Women and older people are more sensitive to OA due to physiological and psychological factors. Controlling modifiable risk factors such as maintaining an appropriate BMI is needed for disease prevention.

Abstract
Nowadays, osteoarthritis (OA), a common, multifactorial musculoskeletal disease, is considered to have a low-grade inflammatory pathogenetic component. Lately, neuropsychiatric sequelae of the disease have gained recognition. However, a link between the peripheral inflammatory process of OA and the development of neuropsychiatric pathology is not completely understood. In this review, we provide a narrative that explores the development of neuropsychiatric disease in the presence of chronic peripheral low-grade inflammation with a focus on its signaling to the brain. We describe the development of a pro-inflammatory environment in the OA-affected joint. We discuss inflammation-signaling pathways that link the affected joint to the central nervous system, mainly using primary sensory afferents and blood circulation via circumventricular organs and cerebral endothelium. The review describes molecular and cellular changes in the brain, recognized in the presence of chronic peripheral inflammation. In addition, changes in the volume of gray matter and alterations of connectivity important for the assessment of the efficacy of treatment in OA are discussed in the given review. Finally, the narrative considers the importance of the use of neuropsychiatric diagnostic tools for a disease with an inflammatory component in the clinical setting.

Longitudinal Trajectories of Depressive Symptoms Among Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis: The Role of Pain Intensity. Pain Manag Nurs 2022; 24:151-156. [PMID: 36435727 DOI: 10.1016/j.pmn.2022.10.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2022] [Revised: 10/23/2022] [Accepted: 10/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pain is the primary symptom of knee osteoarthritis (KOA), significantly associated with depressive symptoms. Whether the early pain intensity could distinguish different trajectories of depressive symptoms is not well understood among patients with KOA. AIMS To identify heterogeneous depressive symptoms trajectories among patients with KOA, and investigate the association between depressive symptoms subgroups and pain intensity. DESIGN Secondary analysis of a cohort sample. SETTING Three waves of data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study was collected in 28 provinces across China. PARTICIPANTS 702 patients with KOA aged ≥ 45 years completed the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale biennially from 2011 to 2015. METHODS Latent class growth analysis was performed to identify the optimal trajectory shape and number of classes. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was conducted to compare pain intensity across the trajectories. RESULTS Four distinct trajectories were identified as follows: no depressive symptoms, highly stable, decreasing, and increasing. In multivariate analysis, compared with the "no depressive symptoms" class, patients in the "highly stable" class and "increasing" class were more likely to report moderate pain (p < 0.05) and severe pain (p < 0.05). In addition, there was no significant difference in pain intensity between "no depressive symptoms" class and "decreasing" class (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS These results suggest important heterogeneity in depressive symptom trajectories among patients with KOA. Pain intensity could predict different depressive symptom trajectories in patients with KOA. Efforts to improve the depressive symptoms in patients with KOA must incorporate strategies to address pain.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease, the prevalence of OA is increasing, and the elderly are the most common in patients with OA. OA has a severe impact on the daily life of patients, this increases the demand for treatment of OA. In recent years, the application of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) has attracted extensive attention. It has been confirmed that NIBS plays an important role in regulating cortical excitability and oscillatory rhythm in specific brain regions. In this review, we summarized the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of different NIBS techniques in OA, clarified the potential of NIBS as a treatment choice for OA, and provided prospects for further research in the future.

Abstract
Background Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of OA and a leading cause of disability worldwide. Chronic pain and functional loss secondary to knee OA put patients at risk of developing depression, which can also impair their treatment response. However, no tools exist to assist clinicians in identifying patients at risk. Machine learning (ML) predictive models may offer a solution. We investigated whether ML models could predict the development of depression in patients with knee OA and examined which features are the most predictive. Objective The primary aim of this study was to develop and test an ML model to predict depression in patients with knee OA at 2 years and to validate the models using an external data set. The secondary aim was to identify the most important predictive features used by the ML algorithms. Methods Osteoarthritis Initiative Study (OAI) data were used for model development and external validation was performed using Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study (MOST) data. Forty-two features were selected, which denoted routinely collected demographic and clinical data such as patient demographics, past medical history, knee OA history, baseline examination findings, and patient-reported outcome measures. Six different ML classification models were trained (logistic regression, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator [LASSO], ridge regression, decision tree, random forest, and gradient boosting machine). The primary outcome was to predict depression at 2 years following study enrollment. The presence of depression was defined using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale. Model performance was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and F1 score. The most important features were extracted from the best-performing model on external validation. Results A total of 5947 patients were included in this study, with 2969 in the training set, 742 in the test set, and 2236 in the external validation set. For the test set, the AUC ranged from 0.673 (95% CI 0.604-0.742) to 0.869 (95% CI 0.824-0.913), with an F1 score of 0.435 to 0.490. On external validation, the AUC varied from 0.720 (95% CI 0.685-0.755) to 0.876 (95% CI 0.853-0.899), with an F1 score of 0.456 to 0.563. LASSO modeling offered the highest predictive performance. Blood pressure, baseline depression score, knee pain and stiffness, and quality of life were the most predictive features. Conclusions To our knowledge, this is the first study to apply ML classification models to predict depression in patients with knee OA. Our study showed that ML models can deliver a clinically acceptable level of performance (AUC>0.7) in predicting the development of depression using routinely available demographic and clinical data. Further work is required to address the class imbalance in the training data and to evaluate the clinical utility of the models in facilitating early intervention and improved outcomes.

Abstract
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common condition, prevalent in middle-agedness, associated with chronic pain and impaired quality of life. Two interrelated biological processes fuel early OA progression: inflammation and structural tissues catabolism. Procatabolic and proinflammatory mediators are interconnected and form part of a self-perpetuating loop. They leverage OA research complexity because of the impossibility to discern certain spatiotemporal tissues' changes from others. Both are shared targets of versatile regenerative multimolecular therapies. In particular, platelet-rich plasma can interfere with inflammation and inflammatory pain. The therapeutic approach is to alter the vicious inflammatory loop by modifying the molecular composition of the synovial fluid, thereby paracrine cellular cross talk. Intra-articular injections of platelet-rich plasma can provide key factors balancing proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory factors, targeting macrophage dysfunction and modulating immune mechanisms within the knee.

Abstract
Background: The relationship between osteoarthritis (OA) and risk of dementia and cognitive impairment (CIM) has long been debated; however, uncertainties still persist. Objective: The aim of our present meta-analysis and systematic review was to roundly illuminate the association between OA and the risk of dementia and CIM. Methods: We identified relevant studies by searching PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science up to October 2021. The relative risk (RR) or odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were aggregated using random-effects methods. Credibility of each meta-analysis was assessed. Meta-regression and subgroup analyses were conducted. Publication bias was explored using funnel plot. Results: Of 21,925 identified literatures, 8 were eligible for inclusion in the systematic review and 19 observational studies involving 724,351 individuals were included in the meta-analysis. The risk of developing dementia and CIM among OA patients was demonstrated in 11 prospective studies (RR = 1.42, 95% CI = 1.07–1.86, I2 = 98.9%, p < 0.001), 2 retrospective cohort studies (RR = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.19–1.52, I2 = 61.0%, p = 0.109), 3 retrospective case-control studies (OR = 1.21, 95% CI = 0.96–1.53, I2 = 95.2%, p < 0.001), and 4 cross-sectional studies (OR = 1.51, 95% CI = 1.09–2.09, I2 = 75.8%, p = 0.006). Meta-regression analyses did not find any valid moderators. Heterogeneity in subgroup analyses for population age, OA location, year of publication, outcome type, adjusted for BMI, depression, and comorbidity decreased to zero. No significant evidence of publication bias was found. Conclusion: OA associated with an increased risk of dementia and CIM. Effective interventions in OA patients may decrease new incidence of dementia or CIM.

Abstract
Background Knee osteoarthritis (OA) and depression are both major health issues influencing the quality of elderly life. The aim of the present study was to explore the prevalence of depression and the factors influencing depression in community-dwelling elderly patients with OA of the knee in China. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study. The study included 214 participants aged 60 and older diagnosed with OA of the knee. The depression of the elderly was measured by using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). Participants were asked to complete a demographic questionnaire, the GDS, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), the society dimension of Arthritis Impact Measurement Scales 2 (AIMS2). In addition, the participants performed a timed up and go test (TUG) and the stair-climb test (SCT). Results The average age of the participants was 69.2 ± 7.63 years old, their body mass index (BMI) was 25.2 ± 3.85, and their disease duration was 5.9 ± 7.72 years. The mean total score of the GDS was 4.43 ± 2.89, and the GDS scores correlated positively with pain (r = 0.45, P < 0.001), stiffness (r = 0.40, P < 0.001), physical function (r = 0.52, P < 0.001),TUG (r = 0.35, P < 0.001), and SCT (r = 0.47, P < 0.001) and negatively with social support (r = − 0.35, P < 0.001).Analysis using multiple regression demonstrated that physical function, social support, and SCT explained 36.8% of the variance in depression. Conclusions Our findings suggested that physical function, social support, and lower extremity strength were predictors of depressive symptoms in community-dwelling elderly people with OA of the knee. Focusing on this elderly group with increasing functional exercise, positive social interaction and support, and lower limb muscle strength training should help in the prevention of depression.

Abstract
Introduction Using data from patients residing in Salford, UK, we aimed to compare healthcare resource utilisation (HCRU) and direct healthcare costs between patients with moderate to severe (M-S) or severe osteoarthritis (OA) pain and those without OA. Methods Patients with a M-S OA pain event within a period of chronic pain were indexed from the Salford Integrated Record (SIR) between 2010 and 2017. Patients with a severe pain event formed an OA subcohort. Patients in each OA pain cohort were independently matched to patients without OA, forming two control cohorts. HCRU, prescribed analgesic drugs, and total direct costs per UK standardised tariffs were calculated for the year post-index. Multivariable models were used to identify drivers of healthcare cost. Results The M-S OA pain and control cohorts each comprised 3123 patients; the severe OA pain and control cohorts each comprised 1922 patients. Patients in both OA pain cohorts had a significantly higher mean number of general practitioner encounters, inpatient, outpatient, and accident and emergency visits, and were prescribed a broader range of analgesic drugs in the year post-index than respective controls. Mean healthcare costs of all types were significantly higher in the M-S and severe OA pain cohorts vs controls (total: M-S £2519 vs £1379; severe £3389 vs £1397). Paracetamol (M-S: 40% of patients had at least one prescription; severe: 50%) and strong opioids (34% and 59%) were the analgesics most prescribed to patients with OA pain. In all cohorts, multivariable models showed that a higher age at index, the presence of gout, osteoporosis, type 2 diabetes, or coronary artery disease, significantly contributed towards higher healthcare costs. Conclusion In the population of Salford, UK, patients with M-S OA pain had significantly higher annual HCRU and costs compared with matched controls without OA; generally, these were even higher in patients with severe OA pain.

Abstract
Depression is common in people with fibromyalgia (FM) and osteoarthritis (OA) and has been linked to adverse health outcomes in these conditions. The purpose of this study was to examine differences in predictors of depression among individuals with FM and OA using a range of health, demographic, and psychological variables. Of the total 963 participants, 600 were diagnosed with FM, and 363 with OA. The Quality of Well-Being Scale (QWB) was used to assess health status. The Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) and the Arthritis Impact Measurement Scale (AIMS) were used to measure disease-specific impact. Additionally, participants completed self-efficacy and helplessness assessments. Depression was measured using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Scale (CES-D). The results of a moderated linear regression showed that higher depression scores were associated with lower health status and a greater condition impact, especially in the FM group. Self-efficacy and helplessness predicted depression in both groups, but more strongly in FM. White participants with OA were more depressed than their non-White counterparts, while the opposite was true for FM. These findings indicate that improving health status and psychological well-being might alleviate depression in both FM and OA.

[PMID: 35260950 DOI: 10.1007/s10067-022-06074-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2021] [Revised: 01/13/2022] [Accepted: 01/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with rheumatologic disease experience higher rates of comorbid mental health diseases than those without. Although mental health services (MHS) can improve musculoskeletal functional outcomes, access to MHS has been limited among vulnerable populations in the United States (US). The purpose of this study was to investigate contemporary patterns of severe psychological distress and receipt of MHS among immigrant populations with rheumatologic disease in the US. METHODS The National Health Interview Survey was queried for patients with rheumatologic disease from 2009 to 2018. Patient demographics, severe psychological distress, and receipt of MHS were collected and/or calculated. Multivariable logistic regressions assessed for factors associated with decreased receipt of MHS and severe psychological distress. RESULTS Immigrant patients with rheumatologic disease had higher rates of severe psychological distress than US-born patients (7.7% vs. 6.5%, p < 0.001), but were less likely to access MHS (8.3% vs. 11.0%, p < 0.001). Among immigrant patients, factors associated with lower MHS receipt included being Black (AOR 0.50, 95% CI 0.32-0.77, p = 0.002), Hispanic (AOR 0.80, 95% CI 0.30-1.00, p = 0.050), Asian (AOR 0.44, 95% CI 0.31-0.63, p < 0.001), older (p < 0.001), uninsured (p < 0.001), and having self-reported poor health (p < 0.001). DISCUSSION Immigrant patients with rheumatologic disease in the US had higher rates of severe psychological distress yet were less likely to receive MHS compared to US-born patients. Immigrants with rheumatologic illness were less likely to receive MHS if they were male, Black, Hispanic, Asian, older, lower income, or uninsured. This lack of MHS receipt may contribute to disparities in functional outcomes seen in immigrant minorities with musculoskeletal disease. Key Points • Immigrant patients with rheumatologic disease in the US had higher rates of severe psychological distress yet were less likely to receive MHS compared to US-born patients between 2009 and 2018 • Immigrants with rheumatologic illness were less likely to receive MHS if they were Black, Hispanic, Asian, older, lower income, or uninsured • Future efforts to carefully screen for mental health diseases in these vulnerable patient populations should be made while exploring patient-specific cultural considerations of MHS receipt.

Potential value of serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor, vascular endothelial growth factor, and S100B for identifying major depressive disorder in knee osteoarthritis patients. Front Psychiatry 2022; 13:1019367. [PMID: 36386998 PMCID: PMC9640743 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyt.2022.1019367] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2022] [Accepted: 10/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The chronic pain and functional limitations in osteoarthritis (OA) patients can increase risk of psychiatric disorders, e.g., major depression disorder (MDD), which may further aggravate the clinical symptoms of OA. Early detection of MDD is essential in the clinical practice of OA. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two hundred and fifteen participants with knee OA were recruited, including 134 MDD patients (i.e., MDD group) and 81 ones without MDD (i.e., control group). Among them, 81 OA participants in the control group received a 3-year follow-up and were divided into trans-MDD group (who transforming into MDD; N = 39) and non-MDD group (who keeping non-MDD; N = 42) at the end of the follow-up. The 17-item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-17), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were performed. Furthermore, serum levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), S100B, and IGF-1 were detected. RESULTS (1) Compared with OA participants without MDD, there were significant decrease in serum BDNF and significant increase in serum VEGF and S100B and VAS scores in OA participants with MDD. (2) A mediation of the association was found between the VAS scores and the HAMD-17 scores through the BDNF as mediator in OA participants with MDD. (3) Significantly lower baseline BDNF levels and higher baseline S100B levels were detected in OA participants who transforming to MDD after a 3-year follow-up when compared with those who keeping non-MDD. (4) In the trans-MDD group, significant associations of the change of serum BDNF levels with rate of change of HAMD-17 scores were found, and baseline serum S100B levels positively correlated with the HAMD-17 scores at the end of the follow-up. (5) In OA participants, the composite indicator of BDNF, VEGF, and S100B differentiated MDD patients from controls with the area under the curve (AUC) value of 0.806, and the combined indicator of baseline BDNF and S100B distinguished trans-MDD participants from non-MDD ones with an AUC value of 0.806. CONCLUSION Serum BDNF, VEGF, and S100B may be potential biomarkers to identify MDD in OA patients. Meanwhile, serum BDNF and S100B shows great potential to predict the risk of MDD for OA.

Abstract
Depression, one of the most common comorbidities with osteoarthritis (OA), affects patient prognosis and quality of life. It also increases the overall burden of disease. This subgroup of patients has not been effectively managed in clinical settings. The study aimed to direct physicians' attention to the co-occurrence of depression and OA. Therefore, this review summarizes the relevant literature published over the past 10 years. The focus is on the prevalence of and risk factors for depression in OA, the effects of depression on OA development and treatment response, comorbidity mechanisms, screening, and non-pharmacological treatment. The research on the etiology of depression has been driven largely by epidemiological studies. Recent studies have shown that high levels of pain, poor levels of function, high numbers of OA sites, and slow gait might be associated with depression. However, the pathophysiology of OA and depression comorbidities remains unclear. In addition to immune inflammation and structural changes in the brain, which have been documented in brain imaging studies, psychosocial factors may also play a role. The evidence indicates that depression can be treated with early intervention; however, adjustments may need to be made for individuals with comorbid depression in OA. It is recommended that health care providers pay more attention to depressive symptoms in patients with OA. Clinicians should develop and implement an individualized and comprehensive treatment plan for patients based on a mental health assessment and in teams with other professionals to optimize treatment outcomes.

Abstract
Background Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is the most common joint disorder in the United States and a leading cause of disability. Depression and obesity are highly comorbid with KOA and accelerate knee degeneration and disability through biopsychosocial mechanisms. Mind-body physical activity programs can engage biological, mechanical, and psychological mechanisms to improve outcomes in KOA, but such programs are not currently available. Objective This mixed methods study aims to adapt a mind-body activity program for the unique needs of patients with KOA, depression, and obesity (GetActive-OA) delivered via live video. Methods Participants were adults (aged ≥45 years) from rural Kentucky with obesity (BMI≥30 kg/m2), idiopathic KOA with mild to moderate radiographic changes, and elevated depressive symptoms (9-item Patient Health Questionnaire ≥10) recruited from 2 orthopedic centers. In phase 1, we developed GetActive-OA and the study protocol using qualitative focus group feedback from the study population (N=9; 2 focus groups, 90 minutes) and multidisciplinary expertise from clinical psychologists and orthopedic researchers. In phase 2, we explored the initial feasibility, credibility, and acceptability of GetActive-OA, live video delivery, and study procedures via an open pilot with exit interviews (N=5; 1 group). This research was guided by National Institutes of Health (NIH) model stage IA. Results Phase 1 qualitative analyses revealed nuanced information about challenges with coping and increasing activity, high interest in a mind-body activity program, program participation facilitators (flexibility with technology) and barriers (amotivation and forgetfulness), and perceived challenges with data collection procedures (blood and urine samples and homework). Phase 2 quantitative analyses showed that GetActive-OA met most a priori feasibility markers: acceptability (80%), expectancy (100%), credibility (100%), clinician adherence (90%), homework adherence (80%), questionnaire data collection (100%), program satisfaction (100%), and safety (100%). Adherence to ActiGraph wear (80% baseline, 20% posttest) and collection of blood samples (60%) were low. Participation in GetActive-OA was associated with signals of improvements in general coping (Cohen d=2.41), pain catastrophizing (Cohen d=1.24), depression (Cohen d=0.88), anxiety (Cohen d=0.78), self-efficacy (Cohen d=0.73), pain (Cohen d=0.39), and KOA symptoms (Cohen d=0.36). Qualitative exit interviews confirmed quantitative findings and provided valuable information to optimize the program and protocol. Conclusions Patients with KOA, depression, and obesity from rural Kentucky were interested in a live video mind-body activity program. GetActive-OA shows promise; however, the program and protocol require further NIH stage I refinement before formal efficacy testing (NIH model stage II).
