Education programs for Osteoarthritis with Dr. Hansson
114 patients of any age with symptomatic osteoarthritis (OA) in the knee, hip, or hand with pain, stiffness, and limitation of movement in the affected joint were randomized to receive an educational program or no education. 6 months after the educational programme, patients with OA had improved self-perceived health, but had a small improvement in function with no demonstrable influence on self-efficacy.
Was the allocation sequence adequately generated?
Was allocation adequately concealed?
Blinding Treatment Providers: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Blinding Outcome Assessors: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Blinding Patients: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Was loss to follow-up (missing outcome data) infrequent?
Are reports of the study free of suggestion of selective outcome reporting?
Were outcomes objective, patient-important and assessed in a manner to limit bias (ie. duplicate assessors, Independent assessors)?
Was the sample size sufficiently large to assure a balance of prognosis and sufficiently large number of outcome events?
Was investigator expertise/experience with both treatment and control techniques likely the same (ie.were criteria for surgeon participation/expertise provided)?
Oui = 1
Incertain = 0,5
Non pertinent = 0
Non = 0

L'indice de fragilité est un outil qui aide à l'interprétation des résultats significatifs, en fournissant une mesure de la force d'un résultat. L'indice de fragilité représente le nombre d'événements consécutifs qui doivent être ajoutés à un résultat dichotomique pour que le résultat ne soit plus significatif. Un petit nombre représente un résultat plus faible et un grand nombre un résultat plus fort.
Pourquoi cette étude était-elle nécessaire maintenant ?
Osteoarthritis (OA) affects millions of people worldwide and is a leading cause of joint replacement surgery. Patient education on self-management, exercise, or both may improve quality of life (QOL), function, and well being. Although systematic reviews have attempted to address this question in the past, the results have illustrated varying conclusions.
Quelle était la principale question de recherche ?
Are self-management education programmes effective in improving self-efficacy, function, and self-perceived health in patients with OA in primary health care at 6 months?
- Intervention group had higher EQ5D levels in all dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) (p<0.001)
- There was no significant difference in Arthritis Self-Efficacy Scale between the two groups
- There was no significant difference in upper extremity function.
- In lower extremity function, only one of the five outcomes, Standing one leg with eyes closed, was significantly different between the two groups with the intervention group performing better (p<0.02)
De quoi dois-je me souvenir en priorité ?
Educational programmes, emphasizing self-management in the primary health care setting for patients with OA, are feasible and can improve a patients self-perceived health. However, these programmes have a small effect on improving function and have not been shown to influence self-efficacy.
Comment cela affectera-t-il les soins prodigués à mes patients ?
Clinicians should consider providing self-management educational programmes that advocate physical activity and self-management for patients with OA.
