Objective.Expression of osteoarthritis (OA) varies significantly between individuals, and over time, suggesting the existence of different phenotypes, possibly with specific etiology and targets for treatment. Our objective was to identify phenotypes of progression of radiographic knee OA using separate quantitative features.Methods.Separate radiographic features of OA were measured by Knee Images Digital Analysis (KIDA) in individuals with early knee OA (the CHECK cohort: Cohort Hip & Cohort Knee), at baseline and at 2-year and 5-year followup. Hierarchical clustering was performed to identify phenotypes of radiographic knee OA progression. The phenotypes identified were compared for changes in joint space width (JSW), varus angle, osteophyte area, eminence height, bone density, for Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grade, and for clinical characteristics. Logistic regression analysis evaluated whether baseline radiographic features and demographic/clinical characteristics were associated with each of the specific phenotypes.Results.The 5 clusters identified were interpreted as “Severe” or “No,” “Early” or “Late” progression of the radiographic features, or specific involvement of “Bone density.” Medial JSW, varus angle, osteophyte area, eminence height, and bone density at baseline were associated with the Severe and Bone density phenotypes. Lesser eminence height and bone density were associated with Early and Late progression. Larger varus angle and smaller osteophyte area were associated with No progression.Conclusion.Five phenotypes of radiographic progression of early knee OA were identified using separate quantitative features, which were associated with baseline radiographic features. Such phenotypes might require specific treatment and represent relevant subgroups for clinical trials.

We aimed to explore the relationship between comorbidities and the structural progression in symptomatic knee and/or hip osteoarthritis (OA) patients. We analyzed the 5-year outcome of non-obese participants (body mass index (BMI) < 30 kg/m2) from the KHOALA cohort having symptomatic hip and/or knee OA (Kellgren and Lawrence (KL) ≥ 2). The primary endpoint was radiological progression, defined as ΔKL ≥ 1 of the target joint at 5 years. The secondary outcome was the incidence of total knee or hip replacement over 5 years. Dichotomous logistic regression models assessed the relationship of comorbidities with KL progression and joint replacement while controlling for gender, age and BMI. Data from 384 non-obese participants were analyzed, 151 with hip OA and 254 with knee OA. At 5 years, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) were significantly associated with the 5-year KL change in both knee (OR = 2.56 (1.14–5.78), p = 0.02) and hip OA (OR = 3.45 (1.06–11.17), p = 0.04). No significant relationship was found between any type of comorbidities and knee or hip arthroplasty. This 5-year association between CVD and radiological progression of knee and hip OA in non-obese participants argue for an integrated management of CVD in knee and hip OA non-obese patients.

Background:Pharmacological therapies are limited, associated with off-target effects, are frequently contraindicated, and only modestly effective for pain in osteoarthritis (OA). Effusion and synovitis are common in OA and are associated with symptomatic and structural progression of OA.Curcuma longa(Turmeric) extract has anti-inflammatory effects and is gaining popularity in the treatment of OA despite the lack of high-quality evidence.Objectives:The CurKOA trial aimed to determine the efficacy ofCurcuma longaextract for reducing knee symptoms and effusion-synovitis in patients with symptomatic knee OA and knee effusion-synovitis.Methods:In this randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, participants with significant knee pain (≥ 40 mm on a 100-mm visual analog scale [VAS]), symptomatic knee OA (by ACR criteria) and ultrasound defined effusion-synovitis were randomised to receiveCurcuma longaextract (80% aqueous based extract standardized to turmerosaccharides + 20% curcuminoids, 2 × 500 mg capsules/day) or identical placebo for 12 weeks. Knee MRI scans were obtained at baseline and 12 weeks. Coprimary outcomes were changes in knee pain assessed by VAS and change in knee effusion-synovitis volume assessed by MRI over 12 weeks.Results:Among 70 participants (36 receivedCurcuma longa, 34 received placebo, age 61.8±8.6 years, 56% female),Curcuma longasignificantly improved VAS knee pain compared to placebo (-9.11mm, 95% confidence interval [CI] [- 17.79 to -0.44]) over 12 weeks, equivalent to a standardised effect size of 0.50. There was no significant between group difference in change in effusion-synovitis volume (3.24 mL [-0.33, 6.82]). There were significantly greater reductions in WOMAC knee pain (-47.22mm [-81.22, -13.22]), WOMAC function (-112.26mm [-222.79 to -1.74]) and significantly more OARSI-OMERACT treatment responders (63% treatment vs. 38% placebo [Risk Ratio=1.64 (1.00 to 2.70)]) in theCurcuma longagroup compared to the placebo group. There was no significant between-group difference in lateral femoral cartilage T2 relaxation time (-0.38 ms [- 1.10 to 0.34]) assessed from compositional MRI. The incidence of adverse events was similar in theCurcuma longa(n=14 (39%)) and placebo (n=18 (53%)) groups over 12 weeks (P=0.24).Conclusion:An extract ofCurcuma longasignificantly improved knee pain in an inflammatory phenotype of knee OA patients over 12 weeks compared to placebo but had no effect on knee effusion-synovitis and cartilage composition assessed using MRI. The moderate effect size of the treatment supports the use ofCurcuma longaextract for the symptomatic management of knee OA.Figure 1.Change in VAS and WOMAC subscale scores in treatment and control groups over the course of the study.

Abstract Objectives Emerging evidence suggests a potential link between OA and gout; however, the association between serum uric acid (UA) itself and knee OA remains uncertain due to a lack of longitudinal studies. Here, we investigated the association between serum UA and knee OA according to cartilage status in elderly community residents without gout. Methods In this longitudinal study, participants without a history of gout were recruited from among the Korean cohort of the Hallym Aging Study (n = 296 for radiography study and n = 223 for MRI study). Weight-bearing knee radiographs and 1.5-T MRI scans, along with blood collection for analysis of serum UA, were performed at baseline and after 3 years. The severity and structural progression of knee OA were evaluated using the Kellgren–Lawrence grading system and the Whole-Organ MRI Score (WORMS) cartilage scoring method. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted using generalized estimating equation (GEE) models. Results Serum UA levels were not associated with radiographic progression after adjusting for age, sex and BMI. There was no significant association between serum UA and tibiofemoral cartilage loss on MRI. However, baseline serum UA levels were negatively associated with patellofemoral cartilage loss over 3 years (adjusted odd ratio 0.70 per 1 mg/dl increase, 95% CI: 0.49, 0.98). Conclusion In this population-based cohort, serum UA was not a risk factor for knee OA progression. Further large-scale longitudinal studies in other populations are needed to validate the effects of UA on cartilage damage.
