Patterns of intra-articular injection use after initiation of treatment in patients with knee osteoarthritis: data from the osteoarthritis initiative.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:We sought to describe and evaluate longitudinal use of intra-articular injections after treatment initiation among adults with radiographically confirmed knee osteoarthritis (OA). METHOD:Using data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI), we included participants with radiographically confirmed OA (Kellgren-Lawrence grade (K-L) ? 2) in ?1 knee at baseline. With 9 years of data, 412 participants newly initiating hyaluronic acid or corticosteroid injections with their index visit were identified. For each type of injection initiated, socio-demographic and clinical characteristics were described by patterns of treatments (one-time use, switched, or continued injections). Multinomial logistic models estimated the extent to which patient-reported symptoms (post-initial injection and changes over time) were associated with patterns of injection use. RESULTS:Of those initiating injections, ?19% switched, ?21% continued injection type, and ?60% did not report any additional injections. For participants initiating corticosteroid injections, greater symptoms post-initial injection were associated with lower odds of continued use compared to one-time users (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) for Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) pain: 0.91; 95%, confidence interval (CI): 0.83 to 0.99; aORstiffness: 0.77; CI: 0.63 to 0.94; aORphysical function: 0.97; CI: 0.94 to 1.00). Symptom changes over time (e.g., worsened or improved) were not associated with patterns of injections use. CONCLUSION:After treatment initiation, the proportion of patients switching injection use and one-time users was substantial. Symptoms post-initial injection appear to be associated with patterns of injection use. The extent to which these patterns are an indication of lack of impact on patient-reported symptoms should be explored.

Project description:BackgroundRecently, in an open pilot study, we found up to two years, a potential pain-relieving effect of intra-articular gold micro-particles using the patient's synovial fluid for patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). During the study the excluded group of patients, due to multisite pain, co-morbidities, and other exclusion criteria., received intra-articular gold micro-particles using hyaluronic acid,. We aimed to identify if pre-treatment characteristics influence the global outcome two years after intra-articular treatment for painful KOA with gold microparticles using hyaluronic acid.MethodsUsing hyaluronic acid as the carrier, 136 patients with KOA received intraarticular injections with 20 mg gold microparticles (72.000 particles, 20-40 μm in diameter). In the analysis, we included the Global Rating of Change Scale, Pain Detect Questionnaire (PDQ), Body Mass Index (BMI), and Kellgren & Lawrence score at the inclusion, Western Ontario, and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) sub-scores for pain, stiffness, and function at inclusion and two years.ResultsOn the Global Rating Change Scale, 69.1% of patients reported a positive effect, 28.7% no effect, and 2.2% worse. PDQ and the three WOMAC subscores all improved at two years of follow-up. PDQ ≥ 13 (P = 0.028), BMI (P = 0.022) and Kellgren & Lawrence grade 4 (P = 0.028) at inclusion reduced the effect with a minor odds ratio compared to the baseline effect of treatment (P = 0.025). WOMAC subscores at inclusion did not influence the outcome (P > 0.5).ConclusionsSevere osteoarthritis, obesity, and neuropathic pain, reduced the effect of intra-articular gold microparticles for knee OA.Trial registrationThe study followed the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the local ethics committee of the North Denmark Region by 27/07/2016 (N-20,160,045). The regional data protection agency approved the project by 06/07/2016 (2008-58-0028, ID 2016 - 116) and registered in ClinicalTrial.Gov by 04/01/2018 (NCT03389906).

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Intra-articular (IA) injection of hyaluronic acid (HA) and corticosteroid (CS) is a common treatment for osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. As a drug treatment for patients with depression, duloxetine has been shown in many studies to effectively relieve the pain of OA and improve function of the knee joint. However, evidence regarding the efficacy of IA injection of HA+CS combined with duloxetine for pain management in patients with OA of the knee is lacking. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that IA injection of HA+CS combined with duloxetine could achieve pain management superior to that of IA injection of HA+CS alone in patients experiencing knee OA pain. METHODS:This study will adopt a prospective, randomised, open-label blind endpoint study design. In total, 150 patients with OA of the knee will be enrolled in the study. The participants will be randomly allocated to receive either a single IA injection of HA+CS combined with duloxetine or a single IA injection of HA+CS alone, and both groups will complete a 24-week follow-up to assess pain and functional improvements. The primary outcome measure is the change in the weekly mean of the 24?hours average pain scores from baseline to the end of 24 weeks in patients with OA of the knee, and the secondary outcomes include the response to treatment, changes from baseline in the brief pain inventory, improvement in the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis index scores, patient global impression of improvement scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and adverse events during the 24-week follow-up. The data will be analysed by the intention-to-treat principle. ETHICS APPROVAL AND DISSEMINATION:This study was approved by the institutional ethics committee of the Beijing Tiantan Hospital (approval number: KY 2019-086-02). The results of the study will be published in peer-reviewed journals, and the findings will be presented at scientific meetings. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER:ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04117893; Pre-results.

Project description:Background: Knee Osteoarthritis (kOA), the most common joint degenerative disorder, lacks effective therapeutics. Placenta-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (PMSCs) are effective in tissue repairing and generation, which have potential in treating kOA. This study aimed to determine the anti-kOA efficacy of PMSCs and to explore its action mode. Methods: Flow cytometry and three-line differentiation were performed for identification of PMSCs. In vivo, a rat kOA model established by anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) surgery was used to evaluate the efficacy of PMSCs. Histopathological HE and SO staining with Osteoarthritis Research Society International scoring were conducted, and cartilage expressions of MMP13 and Col2 were measured by immunohistochemistry. Pain behavior parameters by mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal withdrawal latency (TWL), were measured. In vitro, wound healing and cell immunofluorescence assays were conducted to detect the proliferation and migration ability of chondrocytes treated with PMSCs conditioned medium (PMSCs-CM). Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blot (WB) assays were applied to explore the molecular action of PMSCs on chondrocytes. Results: The results of flow cytometry indicated that the surface markers of PMSCs (CD73 > 95%, CD90 > 95%, and CD34 < 2%) were consistent with the typical mesenchymal stromal cells. The in vivo data showed that PMSCs significantly reversed the kOA progression by protection of cartilage, regulation of anabolic (Col2) and catabolic (MMP13) expressions, and relief of pain symptoms. The in vitro data showed that PMSCs promoted chondrocyte proliferation and migration and significantly restored the IL-1β-induced abnormal gene expressions of Col2, Mmp13, Adamts4, Adamts5 and Sox9 and also restored the abnormal protein expressions of Col2, Mmp13 and Sox9 of chondrocytes. The molecular actions of PMSCs on chondrocytes in nested co-culture way or in conditioned medium way were similar, confirming a paracrine-based mode of action. Conclusion: This study demonstrated PMSCs' anti-kOA efficacy and its paracrine-based action mode, providing novel knowledge of PMSCs and suggesting it as a promising cell therapy for treatment of kOA.
