TL;DR: Canadian men scored substantially higher than women on all 8 domains and the 2 summary component scales of the SF-36 and scored higher than their UK counterparts on 4 domains, although many of the differences are not large.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glucosamine therapy for treating osteoarthritis.
Tanveer Towheed,Lara J Maxwell,Tassos Anastassiades,Beverley Shea,JB Houpt,Vivian Welch,Marc C. Hochberg,George A. Wells +7 more
TL;DR: The results are not uniformly positive, and the reasons for this remain unexplained, but glucosamine was superior to placebo in the treatment of pain and functional impairment resulting from symptomatic OA.
Journal ArticleDOI

George Ioannidis,Alexandra Papaioannou,Wilma M. Hopman,Noori Akhtar-Danesh,Tassos Anastassiades,Laura Pickard,Courtney C Kennedy,Jerilynn C. Prior,Wojciech P. Olszynski,K. S. Davison,David Goltzman,Lehana Thabane,Amiran Gafni,Emmanuel A. Papadimitropoulos,Jacques P. Brown,Robert G. Josse,David A. Hanley,Jonathan D. Adachi +17 more
TL;DR: Vertebral and hip fractures are associated with an increased risk of death and interventions that reduce the incidence of these fractures need to be implemented to improve survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

Jonathan D. Adachi,George Ioannidis,Claudie Berger,Lawrence Joseph,Alexandra Papaioannou,Laura Pickard,Emmanuel A. Papadimitropoulos,Wilma M. Hopman,Suzette Poliquin,Jerilynn C. Prior,David A. Hanley,Wojciech P. Olszynski,Tassos Anastassiades,Jacques P. Brown,Timothy M. Murray,Stuart Jackson,Alan Tenenhouse +16 more
TL;DR: HRQL was lower in the physical functioning domain in women and the role-physical domain in men who sustained main fractures at the hip and subclinical vertebral fractures exerted a moderate effect on HRQL.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of incident fractures on health-related quality of life: 5 years of data from the Canadian Multicentre Osteoporosis Study.
Alexandra Papaioannou,Courtney C Kennedy,George Ioannidis,George Ioannidis,Anna M. Sawka,Wilma M. Hopman,Laura Pickard,Laura Pickard,Jacques P. Brown,Robert G. Josse,Stephanie M.

TL;DR: The HUI was a sensitive measure of health-related quality of life (HRQL) change over time that will inform economic analyses evaluating osteoporosis therapies and had a negative impact on HUI scores over time.
