Abstract:
Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of motion pain induction test for early knee osteoarthritis.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted and the data came from The Project of Health Management of Knee osteoarthritis in Community in Hangzhou in 2018, and a total number of 1 816 people were included which were divided into normal group ( n=530), early group ( n=534) and middle-late group ( n=752) by not sick, sick while Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) ≤Ⅱ and sick while KL>Ⅱ starting, squatting, walking up and down stairs and doing housework were included in the test, and the statistical indicators included age, gender and pain scores (visual analogue scale, VAS). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were mapped after the correlation analysis to obtain the cut-off points and compare their values of area under the curve (AUC). The confounders which included age and gender were corrected by propensity score matching (PSM) and the balance test is consistent with P>0.05 after the PSM. The Kappa analysis was used to verify the consistency of two diagnostic methods. Results:The age of normal, early and medial-late groupwas 67.39±7.43, 67.41±9.52, 71.55±9.87. And the gender distribution of three groups was (238 male, 292 female), (209 male, 325 female), (357 male, 395 female). There was no heterogeneitybetween the normal group and early group in distribution ( P>0.05) while there was heterogeneity between the early and medial-late group ( t=-0.034, P<0.05; χ2=8.80, P<0.05). The VAS scoresof starting pain in three groups was 0.16±0.37,2.70±1.69, 3.68±2.10. The VAS scoresof squatting pain was 0.42±0.49, 2.88±1.44, 4.01±2.08. The VAS scoresof up and down stair pain was 0.47±0.50, 2.87±1.38, 3.82±1.98. The VAS scoresof housework pain was 0.14±0.35, 2.15±1.40, 3.45±2.09. The VAS scoresofmaximum pain was 0.51±0.50, 3.59±1.48, 4.68±2.01. And there was significant difference between normal and early groupin all kinds of pain ( t=-33.81; t=-37.25; t=-37.66; t=-32.07; t=-45.41; P<0.05). The difference between early and medial-late group in all type of pain was significant ( t=-8.93; t=-10.84; t=-9.56; t=-12.52; t=-10.64; P<0.05). The results were similar after adjusting for confounders except for the pain of starting ( P>0.05). The results of ROC curve between normal and early group showed the maximum pain's AUC point was 0.98 and larger than others, and its cut-off point was 1. After adjusted, the results of ROC curve between early and medial-late group showed the maximum pain's AUC point was 0.72 which was larger than others and cut-off point was 4. For the AUC of ROC curve between early and medial-late groupwas lower, Kappa-test was used, and the Kappa point of two diagnostic methods was 0.41 ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The maximum of pain score in pain dimension>1 and ≤ 4 could be preliminarily diagnosed as early KOA. It had high value in separating early KOA from normal people and approximately similar to X-ray, and the value of identifying early and mid-late KOAwas moderateas well as the moderate consistency with KL stage. Comprehensive judgment of imaging examination should be improved when conditions are available.
