Official title
A Prospective Cohort Study of Patients Suffering From Hand Osteoarthritis
Overview
The late-stage forms of degenerative osteoarthritis (OA) are very debilitating and less affordable to therapy. The main objective is to identify early onset symptoms of hand OA patients through imaging techniques (such as ultrasound and MRI). Our primary endpoint is to specify patients with high risk of radiological profression (X-ray).
Interventions
- Diagnostic test Identification of subgroups of patients with early AD with risk of progression
Clinical examination with questionnaires, Biological collection, Imaging (radiography, densitometry, ultrasound, and MRI)
Primary outcome measures
- Radiographic progression judged by the number of joints whose KL index has evolved [Time frame: 2 years]
Secondary outcome measures (12)
- The number of painful / swollen or deformed joints in the hands. [Time frame: 2 years]
- The location of painful / swollen or deformed joints in the hands. [Time frame: 2 years]
- The intensity of pain over the last 48 hours [Time frame: 2 years]
- The activity of the disease over the last 48 hours [Time frame: 2 years]
- The aesthetic impact of osteoarthritis of the hands [Time frame: 2 years]
- The number of consumption of care in the month preceding the visit [Time frame: 2 years]
- The number of hand surgery during follow-up 56/5000 The number of a hand surgery during follow-up [Time frame: 2 years]
- The grip force measured by a dynamometer [Time frame: 2 years]
- The impact on pain and function on the hand measured by the AUSCAN questionnaire [Time frame: 2 years]
- The impact on pain and function on the hand measured by the COCHIN functional index [Time frame: 2 years]
- The impact on pain and function on the hand measured by a 6-minute walk test [Time frame: 2 years]
- The impact on pain and function measured the IPAQ International Physical Activity Questionnaire [Time frame: 2 years]
