A Population-based Cohort of Osteoarthritis: the Xiangya Osteoarthritis Study
- Conditions
- Osteoarthritis
- Registration Number
- NCT04033757
- Lead Sponsor
- Xiangya Hospital of Central South University
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine the natural history, phenotypes and risk factors of osteoarthritis (OA) and pain at different joints, and to examine the association between OA structure changes, inflammation and pain for knee and hand OA.
- Detailed Description
Objectives:
1. To understand the natural history of osteoarthritis (OA) at different joints (knee, hip, hand, foot and lumbar).
2. To identify different phenotypes of OA (e.g., generalized OA, rapidly progressive knee and hand OA, tibiofemoral OA and patellofemoral OA), their association with pain (e.g., peripheral pain, central pain, nociceptive pain and neuropathic pain) and consequences.
3. To examine risk factors of OA (lifestyle habits, nutritional, metabolic, anatomical and genetic factors, etc.) at each joint as well as multiple joints.
4. To determine the association between x-ray structure change, ultrasound synovial changes and pain and other symptoms of OA at knee and hand joints within the large-sample community-based population.
5. To predict the progression of knee and hand OA within new-onset early-stage knee and hand OA patients, and to identify the rapidly progressive knee and hand OA phenotypes and their related risk factors.
6. To investigate the association between gut microbiota and OA.
7. To investigate the association between oral microbiota and OA.
Design: This is a prospective community-based cohort study.
Participants: Subjects included in this study were a randomly selected sample of residents, aged 50 years or older from rural mountainous communities of Longshan County, Hunan Province, China. 4000 people were planned to be recruited, divided into three sub-cohorts. 1,469 participants were enrolled in sub-cohort 1 in 2015, and two follow-ups have been completed in 2016 and 2017. 1,267 participants were enrolled in sub-cohort 2 in 2018. 1,340 participants were enrolled in sub-cohort 3 in 2019. Each sub-cohort will be followed every three years regularly.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Prevalence of multiple joints osteoarthritis. At enrollment. Measured by radiographs of multiple joints.
Progression of multiple joints osteoarthritis. At 3, 6, 9, 12 years follow-ups after enrollment. The changes of joint space and osteophytes are measured by radiographs of multiple joints, to assess the progression of multiple joints osteoarthritis.
Incidence of multiple joints osteoarthritis. At 3, 6, 9, 12 years follow-ups after enrollment. Measured by radiographs of multiple joints, and the incidence of osteoarthritis can be calculated at each follow-up time point.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Changes of pinch strength. At enrollment, and 3, 6, 9, 12 years follow-ups after enrollment. Measured by a Jamar Hydraulic Pinch Gauge.
Changes of pain intensity of knee, hip, hand and lumbar. At enrollment, and 3, 6, 9, 12 years follow-ups after enrollment. Measured by visual analog scale (VAS).
Changes of grip strength. At enrollment, and 3, 6, 9, 12 years follow-ups after enrollment. Measured by a Jamar Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer.
Changes of hip abductor. At enrollment, and 3, 6, 9, 12 years follow-ups after enrollment. Measured by a 'Nicholas Manual Muscle Tester' (Lafayette Instruments).
Changes of the results of squatting ability test. At enrollment, and 3, 6, 9, 12 years follow-ups after enrollment. The squatting ability was evaluated by using a 1-4 scale (1 = full squat, no use of arms; 2 = full squat, arms used for support; 3= full squat, examiner assistance needed; 4 = attempted, unable to attain full squat).
Changes of the results of quantitative sensory testing. At enrollment, and 3, 6, 9, 12 years follow-ups after enrollment. Measured by a hand-held pressure algometer (Wagner, FDIX25) .
Prevalence of widespread pain. At enrollment. A modified body pain mannequin with two questions on symptom severity and widespread pain index (2011 ACR criteria on fibromyalgia) was included to allow scoring of fibromyalgia as a diagnosis with binary (present/absent) classification using a validated tool.
Prevalence of sarcopenia. Every round of surveys since year 2018. Sarcopenia would be diagnosed according to the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 algorithm.
Changes of pain experience of knee. At enrollment, and 3, 6, 9, 12 years follow-ups after enrollment. Measured by intermittent and constant osteoarthritis pain (ICOAP) questionnaire.
Ultrasound detected changes of knee, thigh muscle, and hand. At enrollment, and 3, 6, 9, 12 years follow-ups after enrollment. Ultrasound examination of both knee joints, quadriceps, hamstrings muscle and 15 peripheral joints of wrist and hand.
Incidence of knee/hip/patellofemoral joint pain. At 3, 6, 9, 12 years follow-ups after enrollment. Measured by a question that "In the past 12 months, have you had knee/hip/patellofemoral joint pain lasting most days of at least a month?", and the incidence of knee/hip/patellofemoral joint pain can be calculated at each follow-up time point.
Changes of global assessment of knee and hip. At enrollment, and 3, 6, 9, 12 years follow-ups after enrollment. Measured by the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) score.
Changes of the results of stair climbing test. At enrollment, and 3, 6, 9, 12 years follow-ups after enrollment. Record the time a participant to ascended and descended a flight of five 14 cm steps stair as quickly as possible.
Changes of neuropathic pain of knee. At enrollment, and 3, 6, 9, 12 years follow-ups after enrollment. Measured by painDETECT questionnaire (PDQ).
