A mechanism-based pain sensitivity index to characterize knee osteoarthritis patients with different disease stages and pain levels.

TL;DR: In a cohort of well‐characterized patients with different degrees of knee osteoarthritis and pain, mechanism‐based quantitative sensory testing (QST) is utilized to characterize subgroups of patients and analyse the associations between clinical characteristics and QST.

Total knee arthroplasty: improving outcomes with a multidisciplinary approach.

TL;DR: A review of several systems based programs and specialty care practices that can be adopted into the standard orthopedic practice to enhance TKA outcomes while minimizing unnecessary expenditures is reviewed.

Midterm Clinical Outcomes and MR Imaging Changes after Transcatheter Arterial Embolization as a Treatment for Mild to Moderate Radiographic Knee Osteoarthritis Resistant to Conservative Treatment.

TL;DR: Transcatheter arterial embolization significantly improved pain symptoms and clinical function in patients with mild to moderate knee OA that was resistant to conservative treatment.

Cytokines and Chemokines Involved in Osteoarthritis Pathogenesis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed individual cytokines involved in the immune processes with an emphasis on their function in osteoarthritis and found that the concentration of both proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines were altered depending on the OA stage and activity.

Validation study of WOMAC: a health status instrument for measuring clinically important patient relevant outcomes to antirheumatic drug therapy in patients with osteoarthritis of the hip or knee.

TL;DR: WOMAC is a disease-specific purpose built high performance instrument for evaluative research in osteoarthritis clinical trials and fulfil conventional criteria for face, content and construct validity, reliability, responsiveness and relative efficiency.

Projections of primary and revision hip and knee arthroplasty in the United States from 2005 to 2030.

TL;DR: These large projected increases in demand for total hip and knee arthroplasties provide a quantitative basis for future policy decisions related to the numbers of orthopaedic surgeons needed to perform these procedures and the deployment of appropriate resources to serve this need.

Years lived with disability (YLDs) for 1160 sequelae of 289 diseases and injuries 1990-2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010

TL;DR: Prevalence and severity of health loss were weakly correlated and age-specific prevalence of YLDs increased with age in all regions and has decreased slightly from 1990 to 2010, but population growth and ageing have increased YLD numbers and crude rates over the past two decades.

Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for 291 diseases and injuries in 21 regions, 1990-2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (vol 380, pg 2197, 2012)

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive update of disease burden worldwide incorporating a systematic reassessment of disease and injury-specific epidemiology has been done since the 1990 study, and the authors aimed to calculate disease burden globally and for 21 regions for 1990, 2005, and 2010 with methods to enable meaningful comparisons over time.

TL;DR: The results for 1990 and 2010 supersede all previously published Global Burden of Disease results and highlight the importance of understanding local burden of disease and setting goals and targets for the post-2015 agenda taking such patterns into account.
