Abstract
In recent decades, the prevalence of osteoarthritis (OA), one of the most disabling diseases, has increased worldwide, which imposes a significant burden on society. At the international multidisciplinary meeting, experts of various specialties (rheumatology, neurology, endocrinology, geriatrics, rehabilitation, traumatology and orthopedics) from Russia, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan discussed the importance of an individualized approach to the treatment of patients with OA, taking into account comorbidities, identified the most important and common clinical phenotypes of the disease, discussed known symptom- and structure-modifying effects of a combination of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, and new data on additional (pleiotropic) effects of these drugs that may have a positive impact on the course of comorbid diseases and conditions. The resolution of the Expert Council summarizes the results of the discussion and focuses on issues that are important for the further development of therapeutic approaches and recommendations for the management of such patients.
