Reichmann WM et al. – This study has quantified the role of clinical, radiographic, and socioeconomic factors associated with self-reported health status in a population-based sample of patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Self-reported health status in these pts was associated with functional status and comorbidity.
Methods- Aim was to determine factors associated with self-reported health status in a national population-based sample with radiographic knee OA
- Sample included all of the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES-III) participants
- Self-reported health status determined by overall health as excellent, very good, good, fair, or poor
- A total of 1,021 (42%) of NHANES-III participants with a knee radiograph were included in this analysis
- Multivariable analyses were performed on 1,009 (99%) of the eligible participants with complete data
- Nonwhite race, lower income, more comorbidities, and greater functional limitation were associated with worse self-reported health status in all 3 multivariable analyses
