Purpose: To explore factors associated with intermittent, constant, and mixed pain in people with knee osteoarthritis. Method: We conducted a secondary analysis of a cross-sectional multicenter study with adults ≥ 40 years with knee osteoarthritis. Participants completed questionnaires on personal (e.g., demographics, comorbidities), physical (e.g., physical function), psychological (e.g., depressive symptoms), pain (e.g., qualities), and tests for physical performance and nervous system sensitivity. We qualified patients’ pain as intermittent, constant, or mixed using the Modified painDETECT Questionnaire and assessed associations with the variables using multinomial logistic regression. Results: The 279 participants had an average age of 63.8 years (SD = 9.6), BMI of 31.5 kg/m2 (SD = 8.7), and 58.6% were female. Older age (odds ratio [OR] 0.95; 95% CI: 0.90, 1.00) and higher self-reported physical function ([OR] 0.94; 95% CI: 0.91, 0.98) were associated with a lower likelihood of mixed pain compared with intermittent pain. Higher pain intensity ([OR] 1.25; 95% CI: 1.07, 1.47) was related to a 25% higher likelihood of mixed pain compared with intermittent pain. Conclusions: This study provides initial data for associations of personal, pain, and physical function factors with different pain patterns. Awareness of these factors can help clinicians develop targeted strategies for managing patients’ pain.

AbstractBackgroundHealth workers involved in COVID-19 response might be at risk of developing fear and psychological distress. This study aimed to identify factors associated with COVID-19 fear among health workers in Nepal during the early phase of pandemic.MethodsA web-based cross-sectional survey was conducted in the month of April-May 2020 among 475 health workers directly involved in COVID-19 management. The Fear Scale of COVID 19 (FCV-19S) was used to measure the status of fear. Scatter plots were used to observe the relationship between fear and other psychological outcomes: anxiety, depression and insomnia. Multivariable logistic regression was done to identify factors associated with COVID fear.ResultsCOVID-19 fear score was moderately correlated with anxiety and depression, and weakly correlated with insomnia (p<0.001). Nurses (AOR=2.29; 95% CI: 1.23-4.26), health workers experiencing stigma (AOR=1.83; 95% CI: 1.12-2.73), those working in affected district(AOR=1.76; 95% CI: 1.12-2.77) and presence of family member with chronic diseases (AOR=1.50; 95% CI: 1.01-2.25) was associated with higher odds of developing COVID-19 fear as compared to other health workers, health workers not experiencing stigma, working in non-affected district and not having family member with chronic diseases respectively.ConclusionNurses, health workers facing stigma, those working in affect district and having family member with chronic diseases were more at risk of developing COVID-19 fear. It is thus recommended to improve work environment to reduce fear among health workers, employ stigma reduction interventions, and ensure personal and family support for those having family member with chronic diseases.
