Abstract
Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerating joint disease, and the most common type of arthritis. Knee OA poses a major burden to both individuals and societies. Patient burden is mainly caused by disease symptoms (pain, stiffness and disability) as well as worsening of health-related quality of life (HRQoL). HRQoL is a patient-reported outcome measuring person’s perception of quality-of-life consequences related to the health status. The present study aims to develop personalized model for predicting HRQoL based on the radiographic severity of knee OA and patient characteristics.
