High Impact
This study has been identified as potentially high impact. OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself. Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone. This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.

Comparing Video-Based, Telehealth-Delivered Exercise and Weight Loss Programs With Online Education on Outcomes of Knee Osteoarthritis : A Randomized Trial

Ann Intern Med . 2022 Feb;175(2):198-209.

Four hundred fifteen patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis and a BMI between 28 and 40 kg/m² were randomized into three groups: a telehealth-delivered exercise program with dietary intervention (n=175), a telehealth-delivered exercise program alone (n=172), or an online education-only control (n=68). The primary outcomes of interest were changes in knee pain (numerical rating scale) and physical function (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index) at 6 months, with follow-up at 12 months. Secondary outcomes included weight loss, physical activity, quality of life, mental health, global change, satisfaction, willingness for surgery, and orthopedic appointments. Overall, both telehealth exercise interventions led to significant improvements in knee pain and function compared to the control group at 6 months, with similar results at 12 months. The diet and exercise group showed additional modest benefits over exercise alone. These findings suggest that telehealth programs incorporating exercise and dietary intervention improve pain, function, and other health-related outcomes in individuals with knee osteoarthritis and overweight or obesity.
