Development of a Rapid Cartilage Damage Quantification Method for the Lateral Tibiofemoral Compartment Using Magnetic Resonance Images: Data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to expand and validate the cartilage damage index (CDI) to detect cartilage damage in the lateral tibiofemoral compartment. We used an iterative 3-step process to develop and validate the lateral CDI: development (100 knees), testing (80 knees), and validation (100 knees). The validation set included 100 knees from the Osteoarthritis Initiative that was enriched to include all grades of lateral joint space narrowing (JSN, 0-3). Measurement of the CDI was rapid at 7.4 (s.d. 0.73) minutes per knee pair (baseline and follow-up of one knee). The intratester reliability is good (intraclass correlation coefficient (3, 1 model) = 0.86 to 0.98). At baseline, knees with greater KL grade and lateral JSN had a lower mean CDI (i.e., greater cartilage damage). Baseline lateral CDI is associated with both lateral JSW (r = 0.81 to 0.85, p < 0.01) and HKA (r = -0.30 to -0.33, p < 0.05). The SRM is good (lateral femur SRM = -0.76; lateral tibia SRM = -0.73; lateral tibiofemoral total SRM = -0.87). The lateral tibiofemoral CDI quantification allows for rapid evaluation and is reliable and responsive, with good construct validity. It may be an efficient method to measure lateral tibiofemoral articular cartilage in large clinical and epidemiologic studies.

Project description:BackgroundCartilage morphometry based on magnetic resonance images (MRIs) is an emerging outcome measure for clinical trials among patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). However, current methods for cartilage morphometry take many hours per knee and require extensive training on the use of the associated software. In this study we tested the feasibility, reliability, and construct validity of a novel osteoarthritis cartilage damage quantification method (Cartilage Damage Index [CDI]) that utilizes informative locations on knee MRIs.MethodsWe selected 102 knee MRIs from the Osteoarthritis Initiative that represented a range of KOA structural severity (Kellgren Lawrence [KL] Grade 0 - 4). We tested the intra- and inter-tester reliability of the CDI and compared the CDI scores against different measures of severity (radiographic joint space narrowing [JSN] grade, KL score, joint space width [JSW]) and static knee alignment, both cross-sectionally and longitudinally.ResultsDetermination of the CDI took on average14.4 minutes (s.d. 2.1) per knee pair (baseline and follow-up of one knee). Repeatability was good (intra- and inter-tester reliability: intraclass correlation coefficient >0.86). The mean CDI scores related to all four measures of osteoarthritis severity (JSN grade, KL score, JSW, and knee alignment; all p values < 0.05). Baseline JSN grade and knee alignment also predicted subsequent 24-month longitudinal change in the CDI (p trends <0.05). During 24 months, knees with worsening in JSN or KL grade (i.e. progressors) had greater change in CDI score.ConclusionsThe CDI is a novel knee cartilage quantification method that is rapid, reliable, and has construct validity for assessment of medial tibiofemoral osteoarthritis structural severity and its progression. It has the potential to addresses the barriers inherent to studies requiring assessment of cartilage damage on large numbers of knees, and as a biomarker for knee osteoarthritis progression.

Project description:To determine the association of different types of meniscal pathology with knee pain, bone marrow lesion (BML) volume, and end-stage knee osteoarthritis (esKOA).Participants were selected from an ancillary project to the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) who had at least one knee with symptomatic osteoarthritis. Baseline magnetic resonance images (MRI) were evaluated for meniscal pathology using a modified International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery, and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine (ISAKOS) classification system. We collapsed 10 types of meniscal pathology into five categories: normal, intrameniscal signal, morphological deformity/extrusion (altered meniscal shape and/or extrusion but no apparent substance loss), tear, and maceration. Outcomes included Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) knee pain and BML volume at baseline and after 2 years. We defined the prevalence of esKOA based on a validated algorithm. We performed logistic regression and adjusted for age, sex, and body mass index (BMI).The 463 participants (53% male) included in the analysis had mean age 63 (9.2) years, BMI 29.6 (4.6) kg/m2, and 71% had Kellgren-Lawrence grade ?2. Morphological deformity/extrusion and maceration, but no other types of meniscal pathology, were associated with BML volume (morphological deformity/extrusion odds ratio [OR] = 2.47, 95% CI: 1.49, 4.09, maceration OR = 5.85, 95% CI: 3.40, 10.06) and change in BML volume (morphological deformity/extrusion OR = 2.17, 95% CI: 1.37, 3.45, maceration OR = 3.12, 95% CI: 1.87, 5.19). Only maceration was associated with baseline WOMAC knee pain (OR = 2.82, 95% CI: 1.79, 4.43) and prevalence of esKOA (OR = 7.53, 95% CI: 4.25, 13.31).Based on MRI, morphologic deformity/extrusion and maceration rather than intrameniscal signal or tear were associated with osteoarthritis severity and progression, which highlights the importance of differentiating distinct types of meniscal pathology.
